There is a saying that you get the government you vote for. It is obvious that existing parties have permitted too many special interests (from oil companies to deficits) dictate their priorities. The citizens are supposed to take a participatory role in selecting government and driving its priorities. They have chosen the backseat, or more properly have sold their control for a handful of shiny beads. Blaming your government is blaming yourselves.
This isnâ(TM)t an America only problem; variants of it play out everywhere (except probably in Norway, the bastards). It may be more acute in America, but there is a lot more at stake there.
This is another in a tiresome series of nonsense published to poke fun at submissions processes. Kudos for the recursiveness of the joke - it could have been called " does the submission review committee have free will? ". Q2 would be proud.
This discussion is one of the reverberations of the punchline.
My children go to public schools. My healthcare is publicly funded. If I lose my job, I have a guaranteed income while I search for a new one. If I live long enough, I will have a modest publicly funded pension. I work 5 days a week, with 10 public and 15 private holidays per year. There is one set of laws that serve and oblige all. Servitude is illegal. Debt is not inheritable.
I wonder what Marx would think of the world today?
That is an odd phenomena you are experiencing. It is almost as if the more you detest something, the more attractive it becomes to your child. If only somebody else had experienced this.
Perhaps it was to enhance the smelling capability, especially with respect to food. A dull explanation is to identify poison and spoiled food. A better explanation is to increase our joy.
If the usage model of the tablet is mouse+keyboard, then I suppose you have a point (er:). The first failed windows touch/tablets went down this path a decade ago. The usage model is quite a bit different for a fondle-slab than a lap or desk top. That is why an iPad, and increasingly Android slabs work so smoothly.
That juicy pile of apps leave a user experience closer to a juicy pile of something else, unless they are re(written|factored|shuffled|...) to work properly on the device. That effort dwarfs a 'port' for ARM.
Never been a big fan of the âoelove it or leave itâ pablum. Part of investing in society is investing your skills and effort in continuously improving it; if you canâ(TM)t do that, maybe you can contribute a little more money so that others can.
I do not quite understand the US education system; but wonâ(TM)t let a little ignorance slow me down.
The concept of schools being funded from the immediate zone surrounding them seems daft. It favours those with mobility (ie. money) to move into it when they have school age kids, and out when they donâ(TM)t. An educated public is to everyoneâ(TM)s benefit - all should pay equally so that all schools are funded properly. Simple statistics.
The private schools should survive on their own resources; parents sending their kids to private schools should not be able to direct education taxes towards them. This, again, goes to the universality of the benefit of an educated populace. All should pay, and only the publicly owned schools should receive the money.
9mm/yr after how many years? The shape of the curve is probably more interesting; as the awkwardly phrased wikipedia page attests: ---- Studies have shown that the uplift has taken place in two distinct stages. The initial uplift following deglaciation was almost immediate due to the elastic response of the crust as the ice load was removed. After this elastic phase, uplift proceeded by slow viscous flow so the rate of uplift decreased exponentially after that. ----- I think it would be quite observable.
The question you have to resolve is what do you consider a better position? If it is becoming a C-level executive (I always giggle at the C word), then you need to follow the management track, understand Machiavelli and practise fake smiles and insincerity.
If you want more interesting or independent work, the interviewer asking you those questions has told you all you need to know about their company. Smile, say thank you, take a doughnut and leave.
Try to remember, you are a valuable prize to any company. You have to believe that, or you should not be in the room.
Most managerial tasks are what your parents would recognize as secretarial. The majority of the time is taking dictation (minutes), scheduling (daytimer), and handling bureaucratic processes (paperwork). Few have any meaningful say in direction, strategy, tactics or even furnishings.
High tech management is also littered with folks who could or would not translate their education into effective development roles. Since they understand the terminology, and have at least a vague understanding of the process, they are better suited to the role than some dolt with a Sigma six black-belt.
No matter how carefully you dissect the joke, the knee-jerk venomous reaction of the true believers will not be sated until something, be it furry creature or researches, has some lead added to it.
Penetration into which market? The majority would likely end up as digital photo frames, with no application sales, no community, no presence in the desired market.
That said, I would buy one (maybe more) for $50, just for the perverse pleasure of helping MS lose a bit of dough....
According to 10s of google, the average ice sheet thickness is 2000m in the region, with the greatest thickness at 4700m. Ice is about 1tonne/m^3, so I would guess that the land under the ice is compressed, and would rebound to fill the space. I donâ(TM)t know how far the ice has pushed the land under, but I doubt it is a significant fraction of 2000m... so, no.

I am surprised you have a problem with people bothering you at all! I would think that most would strive to avoid you.

Maybe you should give it some exercise, it seems to have grown a bit dull.

Most places are rejecting RT as BYOD - they don't want to pay the electronic waste fee to dump them. shill.

Almost tongue in cheek? It is brilliant!
He is channelling the sentiment of the founding fathers towards the feeble minded aristocracy.
Ironic elegance, surely missed by the dwarves who imprison him.

There are great similarities in the C++ and Roman empires. Both arose out of a need, and both fell to avarice, gluttony and vice. Good cross over.
