What is your plan for these laid off GM workers? Where can they go when the largest employer in their city shuts down? Even if their skills are transferable, the plant next door does not have a use for thousands of extra employees.
What if they need to move to find work? Is their home worth as much as they paid for it before a major employer skips town? Hell no it isn't, hopefully they're not underwater on the mortgage.
There is no reasonable amount foresight, planning or training that can prepare someone working in manufacturing for their plant to close. They are absolutely, completely fucked.
It's just cognitive dissonance. If you're young and everyone you know can't find stable employment it's very easy to write it off as something that you weren't seeking out to begin with.
Plenty of people can come into a windfall and retire on the savings. We don't hear about these people, because they don't have an interesting story for the media to present. Saving a million dollars and retiring at 40 to raise your kids and fix motorcycles isn't really a hook, and the kind of person who would do that is probably not the attention seeker.
This is same crap that gave us the 'Subway Bread Uses a Chemical also Found in Yoga Mats!' sensationalism. The fact that open source libraries were used by NASA and Malware peddlers just means open source is a trusted format for developing dependable software, just as non-toxic food additives can have multiple purposes.
Physics has an answer for how hawking radiation (the emissions caused by half of a virtual partial pair escaping from the event horizon) relates to energy of the local environment. Using thermodynamics, you can calculate the 'temperature' of a black hole, and by comparing this value with the temperature of the cosmic microwave background (3.3 kelvin, if I remember correctly) it predicts if the black hole is losing mass net energy to virtual particles over time. The math works out that larger black holes are 'colder'; they absorb more energy from the CMB than they emit. Most super massive black holes will survive for billions of years until the universe cools down.
Area is important, because ice reflects more heat than open ground or ocean.
If the height of said ice is decreasing (volume), it indicates a future decrease in ice surface area when that height reaches 0.
It takes a significant amount of extra energy to push through the lower atmosphere thanks to air resistance, so starting a burn at higher altitudes is ideal. In addition, acting as a plane allows the atmosphere itself to act as your propellent, further improving efficiency. Throw in the improved maneuverability on landing and you could guess why engineers would like a space plane design to work.
This does reduce the workforce, nothing was stopping mcdonalds from implementing an order here - pay there system with two employees. Isn't that exactly how drive throughs work? It may not have been economical to do so, as people who walk into your restaurant probably have the extra time to spare.
Actually the peer reviewed science shows that nuclear energy has no net energy return. What this means is every dollar spent on nuclear energy is wasted. The study uses industrial standards for process measurement as a basis.
The site you linked to is bunk. They're using the 2nd law of thermodynamics to argue against mined resources. Let's see what they say: "From the Second Law follows that the generated amount of useful energy from mineral energy sources is insufficient to compensate for its coupled entropy generation, even if all useful energy would applied to that purpose." It's not possible for uranium mining to decrease entropy in the universe, so obviously it's not economically viable! You could say the same thing for breathing.
Based on the resolution increase, and the difference in computing power that was needed to provide that increase, we can make a few assumptions about their algorithm.
There was an increase in computing power of 2.88 times, which achieved a better predictive resolution of 16 times. This tells us that they are calculating differences based on the perimeters of their smallest resolution. Create a square on paper, call each edge 8 miles. Now divide that square into 2 mile subsections. The increase in edges you need to do this (4 vs. 10, or 2.5 times more) corresponds nicely with the 2.88 increase in computational power.
This implies that the news systems are likely running the exact same model as the old ones, except with a greater contour density.
Exactly. I paid for a school lunch using a similar account linked to a PIN 20 years ago. When a kid forgot their pin, the cashier looked their name up in a binder to enter it correctly. There is no need for account security if the maximum withdrawal rate is 1 lunch per day.
It's not applicable to compare the states with the lowest minimum wage, any state with a wage lower than the federal limit of 7.25 defaults to it in most scenarios. Since there are 24 states with wages at 7.25 or lower, cherry picking the well performing ones is deliberately misleading.
I wouldn't be too surprised. Evolution as a tuning process is very effective, but it has issues about getting stuck in just-effective-enough configurations. We evolved to be fairly intelligent, but the body is clearly programmed for using less food energy than is currently available in modern times. There has been some speculative research linking the domestication of fire to increased brain mass. This isn't because larger brains meant we were smart enough to figure out fire, but instead because fire allowed us to digest more foods efficiently, increasing the nutrients our brains could use. Modern agriculture is another jump in nutritional availability, but our bodies haven't adapted to this yet. There could potentially be an extremely effective but inefficient neurochecmical pathway which evolution discarded because conserving energy was the strongest selective pressure, and the alternatives were simply good enough.
You can do plenty about bad students, just not through the schools. The strongest factors which correlate with poor academic performance are poverty and food scarcity at home.
This object is in an ugly middle between being a separate star or just a planet. Are there any models that consider both star and planet formation as the same process? If we built our programs to model one or the other, it's easy to see why we wouldn't have predicted distant but non-fusing binary partners. Note, it seems that 650 AU is quite distant even for a binary companion, alpha centauri A and B wobble between 16-32 or so AU between them, and have a larger orbit than most.

That's what climate models are.
Just like how pots of water boil instantly after being placed on the burner, yes.
Crap, how did we forget the sun? You should contact the nearest scientist about that before it's too late.

They are already required to do this. It's easy to look up which visas were granted.

At least these would be good chemical markers for extraterrestrial stupidity.

I'm pretty sure headsets are more distracting than passengers, because a passenger can see when the driver needs to be concentrating and shut up.
I course, I pose and then immediately see rook e5.
I'm confused why Gate's final move is listed as a ?? blunder. I can't find any move on that turn which avoids checkmate.

Maybe it's recursive, if the voltage is still unstable at the lower draw the car could lower it again.
