The suicide rate at those companies was below the local average, so isn't that like the scenario where autonomous cars kill people, but fewer than otherwise?
As a former reader on both r/space and r/spacex and as someone who has worked on both manned and unmanned projects for NASA, those people have difficulties differentiating between star trek fantasies and reality.
As a 20-something engineering grad, I was far more interested in the project that I was working on (a Mars lander for example), than where I was working. Actually, I didn't care in the slightest what the conditions were, even the time the building flooded and everyone kept working until the water shorted out the network and they went everyone home. Everyone just joked about it for a minute and continued to work until that time.
IIRC, they had to send boats around the some of the offices because the water out the doors was up past people's knees.
I agree. I was happiest/most productive when locked in a dark basement (for JPL). Zero distractions, no internet. What's a foseball? Never mind, I really don't care.
Yeah. Twenty years after graduation, few of my former classmates that I keep in touch with are employed by choice. Most have gone into some sort or another of quasi-retirement, especially if they have a working spouse.
Cargo cult science comprises practices that have the semblance of being scientific, but do not in fact follow the scientific method. The term was first used by physicist Richard Feynman during his 1974 commencement address at the California Institute of Technology.
Seven years is more than enough time to repay loans and to buy a house with cash. Then get a job at a dorky company at just above minimum wage and retire comfortably.
While I have a degree in EE, and have often held a position of software engineer, the majority of that work has been explaining to lower level CS software engineers what and how to write, not writing code. Although I have done more than my share of that too.

Are the people who eat at McDonalds and have iphones bad people for doing so?

50% of all falls from 13 feet are fatal
1) possible false accusations due to personal hatred,
2) being hunted for 'thought crimes' or any disapproval of state
Those sound strangely like tactics used on social media sites (just replace state by crowd).
not long time ago
History became legend, legend became myth and after only a generation, some things that should not have been forgotten became lost.
That is why we always need three parties that represent three different political values.
As of May 2017, there were at least 28 distinct ballot-qualified political parties in the United States.

So does that mean Europe lost as well?

Excellent observation. This has been one of my pet peeves for a long time.
In simple English :)
Actually it's simpler in math form
