Before we make any actual discoveries, lets get a base on Mars and find the baddest most disgruntled Marine(s) to put at the base. Then we can start playing with black wormholes and such.
PS. Some double barrel shotguns may be nice to scatter about with some various med kits, extra ammo, etc.
All you need to do to help reduce poverty is to make opportunity available to people who traditionally do not have such opportunities. This also serves as a filter to people who are content to benefit from the efforts of others while contributing nothing in return. What is the old cliche, "A hand up, not a hand out". Provide education and vocational training to people who are already working hard to support their families but are stuck in low earning fields with little room to improve their situation. Sure you could give them $10,000 cash. And when it was gone they would have some stuff and maybe have reduced their debt temporarily. If you give them enough resources to support their family while training for a better paying career, the impact will be much greater than a simple payment. The difference is that it would have to be earned by hard work and an actual desire to improve.
preferring a team based arrangement where whoever has the expertise in the topical area is the "boss" of that piece
Sounds like a great arrangement. What do you do when more than one person "has the expertise" in the same area, yet they do not agree on how something is done? Are you then back to an executive style decision?
If you are not hungry, then you are not on a diet.
Yeah, I am definitely not hungry at the moment. I fell off the "diet bandwagon" into a buffet! Overall I am still doing well enough. We all deserve a day off now and then, it just can't be 5 days off in a row.
I read the article to see if this was spelled out. Nowhere did it specify whether the schools just had to have the required software needed for the training, or could not have anything else.
Do you suppose the trainers will show up, find an old computer running Linux in a back closet, and immediately pack up and leave?
I agree that OSS will play a significant role in servers and enterprise in the future. This does not mean one has to be proficient with OSS to work in the field. People specialize in one or two niches in a field. They may be very very good at what they do and get paid well for it, without ever mastering OSS.
I am personally a Jack of All Trades, with the required "Master of None". I have not specialized, and enjoy learning technology, not excluding Microsoft products. I actually enjoy integrating OSS and Windows. I have successes and failures at it, but I always come away having learned something. I am not an expert, but I am a professional. I get paid to do this.
I occasionally try new food, but at some restaurants I have definitely specialized in a particular meal. Sometimes a known quantity/quality is better than the unknown. Damn, if I keep talking like that, I could work in HR!
They won't tell us when they start domestic "Fly" surveillance in the US. We will have to guess it will be sometime shortly before or after they outlaw flyswatters.
I hope I don't get billed for all the lost government property that is swallowed by my cats!
I'm no survivalist. I am a southern born man, so I do know how to hunt and fish. I have grown a garden or two. But I did these for fun and recreation, not to survive. Sometime I could share some deer hunting stories... see I am the worst deer hunter in the world. They came closer to killing me than I have them.
On the subject of children, I was focusing more on critical thinking and money skills like you suggested. I have a BS in computer science. I do believe the ability to sift through large amounts of readily available information and put something cohesive together from it all will be the critical skills of the future. Just knowing things is not good enough. Soon anyone can "know" things in a connected society. It is what people can do with their knowledge that is important.
I would be glad to have further conversations about children and society in general. Oh, and congrats on your child. I can hardly wait to be where you are.
I abhor the fact that my daughter is going to grow up in this pathetic shell that America is today.
My wife and I will have a daughter in early May. I don't personally like the way this country is going. I will still try to create a safe environment for my daughter and teach her what she needs to know to survive in this economic/political climate and hopefully have her be adaptable enough to survive in most any climate.
It may be a lofty goal, but it is my responsibility as a "future" parent to do what I can for my child.
It is not the monkey's fault he can't coordinate and plan several steps in advance to get many multiple commands a second out to its robot units. And with all the negative reinforcement, people on the internet "shocking the monkey" when he didn't do right, well who can blame the poor monkey.
If they really wanted a good test, they would have used a champion Starcraft player from South Korea! Talk about reflexes and planning. These guys can issue so many commands a second it boggles the mind.
I am sure PC can get a shot for the "burning".. but if he doesn't pay his monthly recurring charge, he will most likely relapse and/or get something even worse!
If an employer pays you to work on an open source project, but they never distribute that project since it is for in-house use, can you legally take your work with you when you go? Experience, sure they can't keep that, but the actual code, changes and fixes, would belong to the employer?
That may be the point, or maybe not. What level is your current WOW character anyway, how much grinding time do you need before the next raid?
I spent mega hours/days/weeks on MUDS back in the day. Then I met the woman who would become my wife, and soon the mother of my children. It all started with some flirting.

McDonald sells delicious healthy apples. And they even give you some awesome caramel,burnt sugar, to dip it in so people might actually eat it!

reading and writing is definitely more than one thing.
You would need a whole team of children to operate a car, and even then you should avoid "race conditions"!
No, some chicks most definitely look hotter than others in raw binary!

MS did the "Profit!" step first at Step 0.
A hosts file should be enough for anyone! Especially if they got a PFY to keep them all updated.
Don't be surprised to see more IE only support sites from Microsoft if this gets to be more popular.

sol.exe runs just fine using Wine for Linux... what you mean people do something else with their Windows boxes?

Really, whatever could go wrong with giving kids hydrogen filled balloons at birthday parties.
I mean some things just go together, hydrogen filled balloons, birthday cake with candles, and ice cream to soothe those painful burns!

Maybe he hopes to reach a singularity point and have a Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect "Failure".

Only problem will be after a nuclear war, hard to tell if the pig was exposed to massive radiation, or is descended from escaped lab pigs!
Radioactive or not, I bet they still taste good.
They have contests for obscure C/C++ code. Nobody bothers for Perl.
Why do death penalty advocates mostly oppose abortion while vegans mostly support it?
Because it is easier to justify executing someone for murder or other horrible crime, than for simply being inconvenient.
