I didn't say things are good, I said that his citing of where job growth was is flawed, as well as his overall assessment of the economy. The middle class is shrinking, this is true.
The US economy is doing a damn sight better than the EU's, and most job growth is in sectors like hospitality, mining, retail, business services, etc. I don't know where you got your facts but they aren't. Aren't facts that is.
You really should get your head out of the clouds. The point of any schooling is to prepare one to live. It doesn't matter if it's college, vocational school, or any other training. Sure, we want to increase our understanding of the Universe and be well rounded human beings, but that is the secondary goal of college. The primary goal is to make a living. You know. Food. Housing. Clothing. Those little things. Such idealism. You sound like you live in the Ivory Tower yourself.
The FCC doesn't have jurisdiction in China. Unless the company has assets and/or a legal presence in America, they will laugh and give the FCC the middle finger.
The FCC can stop them from selling any products at all in the US in that case. The US is still the largest market for many, if not most, Chinese companies.
Getting water on Mars isn't like digging a well on Earth. It's more akin to getting gold ore by processing tons of Alaskan dirt. It would be a huge operation, requiring a shitload of equipment and power--all just to support a small outpost.
Which is exactly why I said it is an engineering problem. Right now we would not be able to do it, but in time I think we could, with the right engineering.
I've been pretty sure it's a scam for some time now. They have yet to demonstrate anything quantum about it at all, nor can they produce problems that it solves faster than a conventional computer. This is not the first time.
There is most likely more than enough water on Mars in the permafrost and the ice caps, as well as small amounts in the atmosphere, and quite possibly in underground deposits that we have yet to discover. It's really an engineering problem, though I'm not sure it's one that can be solved that soon.
Take for granted? Hardly. I spent a brief time homeless as a lad, and worked my way up to where I am now with a nice fat income, nice house and cars, etc. When I did have my first roof over my head the water was questionable and I had a hotplate and two pans, very cheap ones.
The 'poor' in the US have plenty of money for cigarettes (many of them smoke) and to eat junk food at fast food joints. They can afford to eat a basic healthy diet. Education is part of the problem, but so is lack of discipline in many cases.
I'm sorry but that is a lame excuse. You don't need a rice cooker or slow cooker. You need a couple of sauce pans, water, heat, and the ability to read instructions.
No, becasue the only food they can afford is salt laden fatty food. Remember most pore people work full time jobs and still are at the poverty line. So no time, and not money, and limited education.
Bullshit. Have you seen how cheap dried beans and rice are? There's a complete protein right there. Add in some relatively cheap fruits and veggies like apples, lettuce, and carrots and you have a far healthier and far cheaper diet than McDonalds and packaged pre-prepared foods.
I've been using it about that long with zero problems at all. Besides, I'm a bit suspicious of AC's anecdotal evidence with all the Microsoft shilling that's been going around.
The pressure is too low. If you pour a cup of water on the Martian surface it will immediately start to boil due to the low pressure. You really don't want your bare skin exposed at all.
That is a very fair statement, but no, we won't stop spying on you. I don't know what country you are a citizen of but the odds are very good that your own intelligence agencies are spying on the US as well. Such is life.

no, but my father was and he was forever complaining about "the old days" and how he always had to climb the gravity well, in both directions.
In the snow. Never forget the snow.

Maybe you should start. If I were you I'd start with anti-psychotics.

I Soviet Russia, computer chips program YOU.
I've always preferred inline assembly or linked asm routines for tricky bits, but the problem then is it's not portable.
I didn't say quantum computing was a scam, but D-Wave appear to be either that or a failed project.

Don't feed the trolls or rabid Apple fanbois. It just encourages them.
Probably because there is so much old code, and the new servers will just require a recompile rather than outright porting to a new OS?

Sure, or most cheeses, or some eggs.

That would be funnier if Pluto were in the Oort cloud rather than the inner edge of the Kuiper Belt.
Yes, I know I'm being pedantic...it was still funny.
What does LTE stand for anyway? Lighter Than Earth ? Less Than Europe ? Limited Transfer Environment ?
It stands for 'Long Term Evolution.' Seriously.

A handful of times maybe in over 20 years, and I keep backups that I rarely need.
