Hey, tomorrow's SJW Friday. Maybe we should start a rumor that H1-B workers are oppressing women by taking away their jobs and opportunities for advancement.
Wouldn't that mean the SJW's think that might get sex because there are more unemployed women available?

Then you might as well burn your cpu at the stake. Assembler contains opcodes to do both. So ultimately, higher-level languages depend on this functionality.
I don't disagree. I just think that the education system needs some sort of "truth in advertising" and "full disclosure" regulations, so people can be helped to avoid going into debt for decades because "it sounded good."
These bad choices affect society in several ways. Higher debt levels mean less discretionary consumer spending. Demand for useless courses keeps their prices higher than they would be otherwise, resulting in more debt that doesn't generate a return.
Also, petroleum workers isn't that much of an in demand job right now. Lots of layoffs in the oilpatch.
Doesn't change the fact that what I said, "1000 times zero is still zero", is true, no matter how you claim I interpreted it. And no, since I believe the "research" has zero value (as both my comment and others makes clear), 1000 x 0 = 0. If my comment is worth 0, and the story is worth 1000 times that, the story is still worth 0. There is NO indication that I ever said "1000 more than 0".. Keep trying, nobody's going to buy I said something I clearly did not:-)
The previous confrontation was over land. The Mohawk gambling stuff will be harder to motivate all natives, because it only benefits the people running it, and there's no real "target" that they can block. Sure, they can block route 132 and the Mercier bridge, but we've been through that before. Of course, doing that hurts their illegal trade in tobacco products, and the government can use that as a way to search all vehicles entering and leaving to find smuggling of alcohol, cigarettes, and firearms.
Many of the illegal online Mohawk gambling sites are located on the Indian reserves in Quebec, particularly Kahnawake. Not routing their packets to the outside world should do the job nicely.
A lot of the low-lying fruit has been picked. Closing coal plants. Increasing fuel economy. Making cars that last longer, so we don't use up as many resources replacing them as often. Insulation. Heat pumps. Zone lighting (both home and commercial/industrial). Swapping out incandescent light bulbs. Microwaves. More efficient refrigerators and air conditioners.
Taking it to the next level is going to be a lot harder.
"Get a PhD, drive for Uber." People stay in university to get a master's because they can't find a job with a bachelor's. Then they take advanced studies because they can't find a job with a master's. Their debt load keeps rising, and all the while there's more of a risk that circumstances will make their degree worth less (offshoring, automation, industrial collapse in their chosen field, etc).
Kind of amazing how quickly some technologies go from "WOW!" to mundane to fading into the background because they no longer are seen as anything revolutionary. We're living in what any previous generation would call a magical time, and we take it for granted that's the way it is.
I still call bullshit. You chose to be gay. You are going against the chemistry of your body. And if you keep doing that don't you think you can convince your body/brain to believe it. You just want the doctors to give you a reason so you feel normal. Hint you are not normal, and that is ok.
Call it BS all you want. Your inability to accept concrete proof such as brain scans shows you're the delusional one, not me:-) And no, I never said I was "normal." Why would ANYONE want to be normal? Why would ANYONE want to be just average, or the median, or have the exact same life and experiences as everyone else?
I accept what I am, and FOR ME that's my normal state of affairs. YMMV.
Also, sexual preference or practice have nothing to do with it. Having noted that, and your confusion of the separation of the two issues, sexual orientation, be it straight, gay, bi, or whatever, isn't a choice. I have yet to meet anyone in real life who claims that they "chose" to be straight. Some things are just innate. But thanks for playing...
Maybe not. An Internet service Provider can also mean anyone who provides hosting services, thus shutting them off at the source. So, if a hosting provider finds that they are hosting a blocked site, they have to block it at the source.
According to the law:
“An Internet service provider that receives the list of unauthorized online gambling sites in accordance with section 260.35 shall, within 30 days after receiving the list, block access to those sites.“
You're also not teaching someone to code if you avoid conditional logic and loops. That was true if life as well, even before computers. "If (no cars coming) cross the road. or while (timer less than 45 minutes) leave cake in oven. or while (hungry) eat. Even case statements are handy constructs.
Except that people are no longer "better off year after year." Even for those who work, many are already over-qualified, so sending them back to school for more education (and more debt) is not the solution.
The research found the country's overqualification rate among university grads aged 25 to 34 climbed to 40 per cent last year, up from about 32 per cent in 1991. In 2014, there were 582,000 people in the overqualified category, 795,000 identified as "rightfully qualified" and 77,000 unemployed, the study said.
Over the same period, the analysis showed the proportion of grads employed in positions that matched their credentials decreased to 55 per cent from 62 per cent.
The numbers also reveal something else interesting. While recent grads are doing better, as they age they fall into the over-qualified bracket. This is what happens when you have year after year of increasing "grade inflation." The younger you are, the more your education has been inflated, so older people who had the same education with less grade inflation are now over-qualified, in part because many jobs are being dumbed down through the years.
So why should an employer hire someone who is, in fact, more educated because they are older (even though they have the same degree) when they can get by with paying less for someone younger?
So no, throwing up our hands and claiming "the market will take care of it" doesn't suffice when the "product" is human beings. The market (and the economy it lives in) is a construct of man that should serve our needs, not the other way around. If the economy does not serve our needs, it must be changed.
Except markets are more than adequate at employing people as long as you don't grossly obstruct them. Let us recall here that all these complaints about how the markets aren't working come from parts of the world where regulators force huge costs and liabilities on employers. The market is not so all-powerful that it can thwart your attempts to break it.
Some of use want to breathe clean air and drink clean water and eat safe food and not drink and bathe in a river that is basically a chemical dump. Companies, even regulated, will try to cheat (VW emissions, anyone?). Imagine what a race to the bottom an unregulated market would be...
For something like $20 or less, I think people would just reach into their pocket or purse. Or one person pays for the pizza, and the others pay it back in cash the next time they meet.
I could see people putting a fake birth year number in their user name so that others will think they're younger or older. Can't take much at face value on the net nowadays:-)

Well, the lesbian ones sure might ...
Imagine a Beowulf Cluster of these!
No need ... give it a while and people will be saying "64 Cores ought to be enough for anyone." Then again, GPUs passed that count long ago.
Everything that is old is new again.
Except these new rates would not be time-based, but congestion based.
And you'll be able to pay extra for "premium service/"
More here.
I'm surprised nobody int eh pro gun lobby has jumped in to claim the body count would have been much lower in the war if only there were more guns...

There are terrorist attacks bigger than this every day. Keep this shit in the idle section. Oh wait, it's because white people got killed.
The death toll (8PM EST) is now 140, making it the deadliest attack in Paris since the second world war.

You might try learning to logic, Babs.
"1000 more than 0" != "1000 times 0."
And you might try to learn reading and basic math. "1000 times 0 is still zero". which is what I wrote. Try it out on any calculator.
I never claimed that "1000 more than zero equals zero".

The government wouldn't care. If it blocks 90% of the users, it's a big win for Loto-Québec.
I predict that the Mohawks who are running many of the sites will NOT be happy.
You can deposit a paper check now by just taking a picture of it. No need to run to the bank :-)
