This sounds to me like there was sort of deal struck between the Trump administration and NRA. The NRA is suddenly spouting of anti-net neutrality rhetoric, which seems off topic for them, and after the latest school shooting the Trump administration is trying to shift blame away from guns and place it on anything else.
Well I'm thinking that with heating applications any gains in efficiency are going to come from eliminating waste heat and improving the transfer of energy into the thing that you're heating. Probably a wash in the winter though if you have to heat your home anyway.
If people in this country where actually educated about how their government works and capable of forming their own opinions. I don't think it would matter much who gets to yell the loudest.
I've had the opposite experience. My first encounter with computer programming was on my own with an old copy of turbo pascal during middle school, but it wasn't until I took classes in high school that I had any interest in pursuing it as a career.
On the other hand, if the class had been mandatory and taught by someone without a passion and/or good grasp of the subject I suppose I could have easily found it discouraging.
I took the exam around '99 and I'm sure it was around before that. Yes, not every high school offers classes in computer science. I think we only had it because our teacher was a big proponent of it and our school district was very well funded to say the least. There where only five or six students who actually took the AP course with me, two where female, and two where minorities.
I'm a programmer, perhaps I could be considered an architect seeing as how I'm responsible for designing, coding, and implementing roughly half of the software that is currently produced by my company. I consider myself a programmer although I'm called an junior engineer, my degree is in computer science. My job seems to be writing instructions for anything and everything including but not limited to: small SCADA systems, computer applications, programmable logic controllers, electricians, and customers.
Draftsman, author/editor, or technical support representative could be just as appropriate job descriptions seeing as I draw electrical schematics, write manuals, and address many a technical issue both over the phone an in person. Software architect sounds good but it doesn't even begin to describe what I do.
Also, doesn't software architect imply some kind of leadership responsibility? I suppose I would fail that seeing as I'm one of two programmer in the company, however I do admonish the electricians from time to time. Would that count?
The cat I had when growing up learned that when trapped in the basement she could jump on the mini van, climb into the laundry shoot, open the door at the top of the shoot, and get upstairs.
She also learned that at night she had to cry at the second story window by the bedroom to get let back inside.
Our dog on the other hand was able to learn sit and stay and little else.
Granted the cats abilities were more self-serving.
It is much harder (more expensive) to program a humanoid robot to do everything, than it is to program a specialized robot to do one thing. So no, a humanoid robot would not be a cheap interim step. A cool novelty item perhaps, but not inexpensive.
I prefer to buy parts from Antares Digital. I've always received excellent service and they are relatively local (New Jersey) so my orders arrive quickly.
I've got news for you: just because you run a business does not make you entitled to decent employees. You only get good, hard-working, talented employees if they believe they can make enough from you to compensate them for the effort they put into the job. Or do you "expect work to get done" just because you treat your employees like idiots and/or interchangeable parts?
That is not entirely true. Paying your employs less does not mean you will not get good, hard-working, talented employees. What you will get are inexperienced employees. Employees who will only work for you until they have learned enough about the business to be more competitive in the market.

You're absolutely right, most students just don't want to learn. I mean when was the last they you heard a middle schooler comment how they can't wait to get home and spend the rest of the evening studying geometry or algebra. Society would be much better off if we simply stopped wasting time and money on students who don't want to spend all day being lectured at by people who think them incapable of learning.
Hmmm... This would explain all those job adds with ridiculous requirements, and how I could never find work when I lived in Pittsburgh. Then again perhaps it was just the economy at the time.

Is it just me or does "air gap" sound like the kind thing best implemented in hardware?

It's a typo, "of" should be "or".

That hissing sound is normal. They are releasing excess pressure from the boil off.

The automobile industry operates under some unique pressures - and it's dangerous to generalize from them to other industries.
Are you a moron? There's literally tons of American expats living and working in China these days.
So... at least 4000 pounds then? Roughly more than 25 "expats"?
I wish I could get FiOS service, however my neighborhood is apparently too poor and Verizon refuses to provide that service here.

This is the best example of prior art I can think of: http://www.chumby.com/guide/widget/Page%20Turner You can flip through the pages, and it's for a touch screen device.

1. invent method for routing data via carrier pigeon. Check
3. implement method.
2. use pigeons to route data past backbone hubs.
3. ????
4. profit.
Yep, Jack Daniels and/or the Department of Transportation...

My understanding is that it was the lack of a magnetic field that allowed solar radiation to slowly remove the martian atmosphere.

I thought ice turned into water at high pressures?
One solution could be to offer scholar ships for students perusing a degree in Computer Science. But yes increasing salaries would help as well.
