It might be more productive to view this one through the descriptivist lens, because then you'll be talking about the ideas that are actually being discussed, rather than falling into a semantic rabbit hole.
Yup. And that's without getting into the bubbles that are generated when there are too many investment dollars chasing too few high-quality investment opportunities.
Better yet, why not recognize that there is never more than a handful of human beings in space, and that there is no need (or legal basis) for a branch of the military in space?
... transit [also benefits people] by making room for more cars on the road.
Not just that - it also benefits employers by giving them access to more employees, and by giving their existing employees a choice in their commute. And by giving access to jobs to people who otherwise wouldn't be able to reach them, it benefits entire neighborhoods and cities.
Let us not forget that transportation - in all its forms - is a core function of government.
If a person costs too much, you have to use less people
Only if you're willing to give up market share. Your competitors have to deal with the same cost of labor, and one *will* hire enough people to meet demand if you don't.
The Navy? Submarines can go pretty deep if they need to. There is no critical infrastructure on the moon or mars. But there is in space and the deep sea! Full-spectrum dominance is a real thing.
I am not sure what your comment is on about.
Modern Submarines have a maximum depth of somewhere between 2400-3000 feet. Any further, and the pressure will crush the hull. Compare that with an average ocean depth of 12,000 feet.
It's still unclear whether this decision comes from Agarwal or from the company's global leadership. Likely the former, considering there's been no such chatter for US employees.
"Former" refers to the first of two earlier mentioned list items (Agarwal, in this case), while "latter" refers to the second (global leadership, in this case). If it were the latter, that would suggest there would be "chatter for US employees".
The US is so large and diverse that that's not an option.
This assertion needs to be supported. The vast majority of our consumer goods are produced overseas, which seems like exactly the kind of "exportation of carbon emissions" you refer to.
Sure, when Apple does it in their stores, it's praised as a courageous way to increase profits. But when I try to sell dongle in the alley behind the bar, the DA says I'm committing an indecent act.
If the only thing in life you can see any value in is money, I feel sorry for you, because you'll never be satisfied..
Where did you get that from the OP? He said that money is his only motivation for working, not that it's the only thing he values in his life. There are plenty of people - like myself - for whom work is simply a means to pay for the things that I really value, like time with family, creative-but-unprofitable endeavors, travel, recreation, etc.
Personally, I feel sorry for people whose only meaning comes from work. So much to see and do in this great big world, and they just want to drone. Sad.
The main problem is that if everyone is in silos, they don't see the big picture, and underestimate the value of other people's skills and expertise. This is not helped by the fact that people who are experts in one field tend to assume that they know more than they do in fields beyond their expertise. And then there's the whole hammer effect: when that's all that you have (ie you are specialized in a specific area), everything starts to look like a nail to you, even things you have no reason to bang on.
Just a bit of friendly advice: you might want to make sure you know what a term (like, for example "Humanities") means before declaring yourself an expert in it.
You don't need to building anywhere near that tall to make a difference. Paris is less than a quarter of the area of San Jose, yet it has more than twice as many people, and only one residential building over 400 feet tall. The vast majority of buildings in the the city are in the range 6-10 stories tall.
I'm guessing you meant to respond to someone else, as I didn't assert that STEM is useless - that would be idiotic. Also, there already is an I Promise Elementary School, so they recognize the benefit of starting earlier.
... as it first asks you to study and work hard, but then punishes you for being too smart.
Well, working hard is not the same thing as being smart. The powers that be want people who work hard but aren't smart. Those are the people who will be happy to do whatever you ask for however little you will pay. People who are smart threaten that paradigm.

they haven't lived in a (real) socialist country.
By that standard, they're not advocating (real) socialism.
Unfortunately, it won't do much for the *willfully* historically impaired that infest /. these days.
I found the prescriptivist!

And yet the death rate by fire has steadily fallen since asbestos was banned in 1970.
Interesting that you only comment on the 10% of workers who have union bosses, and not the 100% who have boss bosses.

Dunno. Seems accurate to me.

And the Earth is flat, the moon landing never happened, Castro was a CIA plant, and Putin is just the nicest guy ever.
Does a drivers license even prove citizenship?
No.
I'm not. Faith in the integrity of the electoral process is important.
Sounds like a good reason to tell people who make shit up about people voting illegally when the data shows otherwise to stifle it.
Not nearly as much as the recession that will result. Nothing kills carbon emissions like a population too poor to consume.

And the NES Classic doesn't even have an officially sanctioned way to add more games.
Fixed it for you. But I agree that they should have made a sanctioned way and made money off of it.
