When someone brings up labor laws as why we work 40 hours a week. My understanding is that efficiency experts were brought in to factories by employers such as Ford and tried to figure out what the most amount of manual work they could get out of people a week. At least from those studies it was 40 hours a week over the long term. I'd expect for intellectual, IE creative work, such as engineering the max is probably less than 40. (Hence my opinion if an employer really thinks he's getting 50-60 hours of work a week for an extended period of time they are just kidding themselves.)
There have indeed been many studies past and present that say working over 40 hours for a long period of time ends up being inefficient.
This is part of the problem. Sure there are plenty of flexible jobs out there, 40 hours a week with two weeks off a year tends to be the standard. 30 hours a week might be considered full time, but the places I know of do not give that option, it's 40 hours or you are fired. Limiting yourself to 30 hours is going to restrict what companies will hire you, you are going to limit your advancement opportunities, hard to be a manager or part of a team if you are there 1/4 less than everyone else. I do not think this is all the businesses fault, if workers want t the option to work less hours or have more vacation they need to express that.
My point is more I do not see private schools and prisons as inherently bad. It seems more if the government is going to let these things be privatized, then there needs to be a better set of standards.
Equal funding might not matter, in my area the craptastic inner city district I survived and nobody wants to be part of spends 15k per student a year, which is at the upper end for the entire state. Surrounding top ranking districts spend 9-11k per student.
Seems to me it is more of a lack of oversight of charter schools and prisons, rather then privatization being inherently wrong. Let's pretend a company can provide a noticeably better school for a lower cost, I do not see how that is a bad thing.
It is probably still routed, but maybe just in such an interface way that it allows them to "dial" and be connected with no physical switch operator. To the people sating "is this earth?" who else would it be... get a sense of humor, do you think they do not know they are calling earth??? Maybe is is funny when you get a phone call from your dad or husband in space. But yeah, it is not news, if he kept his mouth shut nobody would know, who cares, nobody blackhatrevrsekickedhackedback the number. Unless this is some attempt to bring to philosophical terms to the missteps of humans vs computers and human misinterpretations, otherwise not news, not good news, not new news.
Quiet is relative, even soundproofed might be too loud. Sounds like a complicated, expensive piece of equipment. When lives matter do you really want to bet your life on a mechanical donkey? What sort of missions are they running anyway? We can bomb you from halfway across the world without landing. If this if for some sort of elite mission, use tier one elite soldiers who can carry their weight. Why not dogs? Or carts? Why not just have robot marines in the first place? Easiest solution I see is to train some soldiers to be pack mules. Pick the best of the lot who can carry weight and that is your main job. So you have a few extra people, a few extra people who can provide assistance besides just hauling stuff.
Vote? Ever get a traffic ticket or any been charged in a crime? Get married/divorced/ been part of a civil lawsuit? Any lost funds you don't know the state is holding? Some of it really depends who is looking, how much they have to go on etc.
Sure seems like one of those emotional things, why fund wars when we need roads and education?! On the way to work I pass under half a dozen bridges being redone. We have our own 371 million dollar tunnel for water being made. Infrastructure is always going to lag
I know the mix tape is still a thing if you are trying to impresses someone else's genitals. Or holdouts like my parents, their phone still has a cord and a wheel, the TV is made of wood, they would probably still get a block of ice delivered if that was an option. VHS still exists, poor man example of piracy? I still have books, does that make me a old fogey? Did you take ceramics in school? Why? Have you ever had to mine your own clay and bake it in a kiln in order to have something to eat off of?
Too much hype right now, I know people who took multiple days off work to see the movie multiple times. Why were the new star trek, avengers, lord of the rings, etc, such big hits? Not because they were good movies. The combined delusion of the masses must be excreting out of their pores infiltrating each others subconscious to create an illusion of grandeur, this is a tale of both caution and opportunity. Caution, yes, they may turn you in to the gestapo. Opportunity, sure, you may never reach the grand consensual delusion that is star wars, do not we all wish to have more power than god? There is little more than trite debate concerning god these days, sure you have wars and killings, but god is an excuse, not the reason. On this holy day of reflection, the only thing open are movie theaters and Chinese restaurants, the pervasive underbelly of the masses drives you, pray to a god of today that can do no wrong, for tomorrow a new god will form, so temporary is the will of the gods in the time it took to take a shit when I came out of the stall there was a new world, new but the same, just another toilet paper roll world that willl not burn because it is covered in shit. Flush it from your mind, in some places they do not have toilet paper, or flushers, quite a conundrum, they probably do not have star wars there either.
I know it seems silly but sometimes I play the lottery. There is a game where sometimes the odds of winning are about one in half a million, if there are no winners a few days in a row, sometimes the jackpot gets to be over half a million. I know that in itself shows how little chance there is of ever winning, but I can at least sort of justify it though math.
You can't rely on having a "job" anymore. Our entire social model rests on growth, which can't exist eternally, and now we are starting to see, it doesn't exist anymore.
Simply put, there's nowhere left to grow, nothing left to do, so what do people need to do to have a job anymore?
We don't need millions of electrical engineers, or programmers, or whatevers. We need to wind down the 20th century model, and accept that we now have to redistribute the accumulated resources of the last hundred years.
It should be no surprise that no single industry will always grow faster than others.What do you need to do? The same thing every other person is doing, there is not going to be one answer. Change careers, find a niche, start your own business, do your job really well, move to a higher demand area. I mean, there "is nothing left to do"? I would take a good look at the rest of the world, even many first would countries are facing much worse prospects than the U.S. It is probably just going to take more work than before, maybe you will have to keep educated and on top of your game.
No, I understand there are high and low tax and regulatory states, those types of things apply to all businesses in the state though. I am more thinking two states that have pretty much the same rates etc, some company was founded in state A, and has been there for 50+ years, threatens to leave because state B will give them tax breaks, state A has to lower taxes for this one company to keep them there. In some cases it has nothing to do with high and low tax states, it's just a way for businesses to extort tax breaks from the state. Somehow there are several hundred thousand businesses in Michigan which do not get any special tax breaks, granted they are not all not billion dollar operations, but why is this one business special and another is not?
Enter the story of the athlete cutting off their legs to compete in the now popular cyborg Olympics. Or the "jockey" that is just a brain in a jar to get the weight of the robot down. I am all for it.
Slashdot Mirror
Sometimes there are so many links in a summary there is more text linked than not. (Do we need seven links in a summary)?
Links should go to the original source, why link to a press release that links to the homepage that does not directly link to anything?
No links to Forbes.
Maybe if I was super paranoid about the NSA or Google somehow linking my random internet comments all to me, then a program might have some use.
It would be interesting to see if the program could go through /. AC postings and see if they can match them up to a user.

I think it's because the underpants gnomes are on a long coffee break.
(Makes about as much sense as your "theory".)
I was going to write out more but I was on a long coffee break.
I think most is just inflation. Wages go up, but so do costs.
you would be switching on and off all the time. Say you don't want kids in the next 5 or 10 years.
My point is more I do not see private schools and prisons as inherently bad. It seems more if the government is going to let these things be privatized, then there needs to be a better set of standards.

Why do we have private companies in other areas besides schools? Why doesn't the state run all businesses?

compare it to something like thousands of reference books instead of just one? I am sure there are errors in some of them...
