doctors with huge debts for their expensive education
That they pay off in 3 years.
A friend worked for a dr who started college at the age of 40 and just retired with a big house near the beach in Malibu.
I heard the same thing said about Californians thirty years ago. I think the's where the word Californication comes from - people who bought houses in LA for 15k in 1960, selling them for $8M in 1985, then moving to Washington state and trying to turn it into California. People around me (in the desert) are complaining about that now.
I have suggested this many times before (getting roommates) and would always get flamed as a bad, unworkable idea and a sign of a collapsed civilization. Good thing they're trying something new.
Exactly. I noticed the same thing maybe starting around 2007 and have written about it elsewhere.
I'm far from rich, but am doing very well as is almost everyone I know and most the people around me. Try to explain this on someplace like reddit and get banned or labeled as a troll here. No wonder there are so many AC's.
Sorry, that's what I meant. The exact quote was "agree to disagree". I am the boss, do it my way. I heard this person were fired after I quit for doing similar things to others.
Well, computer controlled cars promise to pack (platooning) a lot more on existing roads alleviating the need to build new roads and to eliminate stoplights as packets of vehicles can be timed at intersections to miss each other.
"Disagree and commit" works until you get blamed for the failures, especially when something fails exactly like you said it would, but were forced to agree. Luckily, keeping good notes is a life saver here.
I see railroad tracks all over.rarely see trains, maybe a few per day (~1 every 6 hours).
I've read a number of papers and studies addressing just this. Solutions are rather involved and expensive, but not more so than digging underground tunnels,
As read ~27 years ago amidst the OS flame wars: The only people who should know about operating systems are programmers. Users do not interact with operating systems
Actually, what you need is a critical mass of people making these things relevant. A friend was teaching in an African school, and after a couple of years kinda had the epiphany, or maybe doubt, that in their current level of developmentt higher education was not really what was needed. These things take many generation to develop
Every time II say this (and yes, I have been to Africa), I get labeled as a troll. And yes, it's all true.
I think the problem is is that the gap is so mind boggling huge, that there is not frame of reference to describe it. Africa is great place, even the un-touristy areas.I wish everyone could go for a visit and think the world wold be a lot better if they did.
Longer than that. As a kid in the 70's I was promised that "The Big One" would happen in fifty years, I really wanted to see this happen and they only have 6 years left.
California is a nice place, but too expensive, so my plans have always been to move there after TBO when all the land is cheap.
If you want to watch something interesting, watch this SETI talk by Wolfram. He discusses things like sets of possible sentiences. Toward the end of the talk he even mentions that part inContact and the digits of pi.
Lawns have significantly decreased from when I was a kid. I remember an editorial cartoon concerning influx of people from Michigan (kinda like Californication of today) with and old guy watering some cactus captioned, We'll have this place looking like Michigan in no time

I wonder how they achieve such accuracy.

Maxwell is taught extensively in university (required multi-year courses). Tesla is barely mentioned.

Science must fall
Last I heard, it's actually mining the seafloor now, or at least exploring.
No, I was thinking near downtown seattle next to the costco.

You should see the efficiency the pipe introduced over carrying clay pots of water.
Robots are already good at fine precision. STEMs can position within nanometers

inefficient and congested.

Which is discouraged in education these days.

Clean water and sanitation would be a better investment.
is not a raw material.

SETI and the computational universe
Also, if you are interested, there's a short paper by Robert Freitas on the Sentience Quotient and xenopsychology.
