"Can we adequately provide for a global population 50% larger than it is now (without buggering the planet in the process)?"
US food production can already handle more than 50%: food supply per capita per day (net imports and exports) is 3900 calories, consumption per capita per day is 2500 calories.
If you got to make the cool decisions about what work to do and didn't have to stuff that sucks like handle bad performers and did have to take the smack talk dished out about managers, why would you become a manager?

Clearly we need to go the other way and pay the management track more to overcome the stigma of being "pointy-haired".
The signature is not an authentication mechanism and it is irrational to expect it to be one. Do you really expect a minimum wage store clerk to be a handwriting analysis expert?
"it would be very difficult to claim that an interrogation room falls under that definition."
As long as you only interrogate your friends and family, i.e. "a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered".
This is also why you cannot play music at your workplace without a performance license, even if there are no outside customers.
The reviewer did not say that jQuery was a hack. The review said that using jQuery to avoid using their predefined interface was a hack.
Whether that interface is so bad that you are driven to use a workaround to get anything done I cannot say. However, you will get nowhere if you argue against an imagined response.

Fat, drunk, and petitio principii is no way to go through life, son.
I recommend that the next time you brag about insider trading you at least post AC.
American monthly wage per capita / American GDP per capita = 0.072; French monthly wage per capita / French GDP per capita = .104
Whoever John Galt is he is clearly not an American.
No, he means the people that come in and send an email at 8am to "prove" that they are in the office then go fuck around out of sight for 3 hours.
But working only a decent work day was not the entirety of the claim.
"NASA is assessing two concepts to robotically capture and redirect an asteroid"
Robots are cheaper than robots?
That only eliminates lazy trolls.
Clearly, no one in the history of survey design has ever considered the idea of an unreliable respondent until you came along.

"We should boycott slashdot entirely during the week of Feb 10 to Feb 17"
Please, start early. Right now would be good.
" Hardly anyone designs logic by drawing gates anymore. "
I predominately do logic and circuit design by schematic capture. On the other hand, I do layout via text scripting.

They should have had a contract with Iron Mountain. Oh, wait...
"In 1910 ... Then Peron got elected"
Argentina, of course, did not participate in the years 1911 through 1945.
"to pull all of the gold out of their national bank and spend it."
You mean the part where he paid off the debt to the Bank of England?
