> Making the next ones have an all white male cast wouldn't fix anything, if that's all you changed.
The races, or genders, of the cast has nothing to do with whether Star Wars was ruined by SJWs.
For example: the new sequels strain to make all females absolutely perfect beyond belief, while all the male leads are stupid beyond belief. It is obvious PC BS, and it gets very tiresome.
Hello, Leia, Ep. IV? It's been a theme in Star Wars all along and epics in general for centuries.
The UK tried that with computer spending during the 1980's. Code and math for all. New computers.
The UK did not become a super computer nation. Everyone imported much better quality and much more advanced US products, OS, GUI and software..
The UK was strong in software in the 1990s. What it lacked was a Microsoft of Oracle to entirely corner a market (ARM not having become dominant in that time period), and with 1/5 of the population compared to the USA (it allows easier recruitment of personnel and a large home market) that's no great surprise. Not many countries with 1/5 of the population of the USA did as well as the USA did, the main exceptions being Ericsson, Nortel and Nokia. In that sense, with ARM, the UK did perfectly well. Add in Autonomy, Deep Mind and a few others and it has punched above its weight, so maybe the education strategy worked, but then it's always multifactorial.
Such a nurse could in fact be way, way more helpful in giving technical feedback to the developers of the hospital systems, about why a system does not work in practice - so they could clear up UX issues maybe months earlier than the developers would otherwise trying to glean feedback through a million beuroratic layers. That in turn would mean a better system for EVERY OTHER NURSE.
There is a huge amount of knowledge on how to use good HCI principles to guide UX design. Having a nurse add to the comments will not help as the issue is how the systems are put together to certain cost and time constraints, not the lack of understanding of how to make a good UX.
In terms of the last two resources/population is the important statistic not either two. The USA has a large population but larger natural resources too. It might have a similar resources/population quotient (although perhaps a different mix of resources, e.g. Norway not known for its large maize crop).
The Royal Metrological Society in the UK found that 1 deg of the increase was from urbanization, not CO2?
Ah, I see you don't understand the paper you referenced. The paper says that the temperature in urban areas has increased. But measurement of global temperatures does not rely on such figures from urban areas. In fact, as BEST showed, if you remove urban temperature figures and those areas that changed from rural to urban, the trend in temperatures is higher. The effect of urban areas on the figures is anyway pretty low as only a very small proportion of recording stations are in urban areas.
In other words Raymorris's post becomes 'Why would you work for someone for $12/hr, possibly with health care as compared to very slightly more, net, with all the attendant risks and no health coverage?'
I wondered what content it might be and looked at 'The 20 Best BBC TV Shows on Netflix' which listed programmes not even by the BBC or shown on the BBC...
Well, you can go by whatever course you like if you have some sort of amphibious tracked vehicl, but that's pretty uncommon even if 30 years ago you could pick up a WW2-era M29 Weasel for under $2000.
If you are 60 minutes late you may miss a connection. It's pretty unusual to miss one by arriving 60 minutes early, even if you have to wait 30 minutes.
Incandescent bulbs typically have short lifetimes compared with other types of lighting; around 1,000 hours for home light bulbs versus typically 10,000 hours for compact fluorescents and 30,000 hours for lighting LEDs.
A very important point to consider is that weeds would undergo the same acceleration of cycle as cultivated crops, and would also benefit from carbonaceous fertilization.
most weeds are C3 plants, they are likely to compete even more than now against C4 crops such as corn
In the areas that are heavily dependent on water runoff from glaciers that melt during the warmer summer months, a continuation of the current retreat will eventually deplete the glacial ice and substantially reduce or eliminate runoff. A reduction in runoff will affect the ability to irrigate crops and will reduce summer stream flows necessary to keep dams and reservoirs replenished.
ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) will affect monsoon patterns more intensely in the future as climate change warms up the ocean's water. Crops that lie on the equatorial belt or under the tropical Walker circulation, such as rice, will be affected by varying monsoon patterns and more unpredictable weather. Scheduled planting and harvesting based on weather patterns will become less effective.
The US Global Change Research Program (2009) assessed the literature on the impacts of climate change on agriculture in the United States, finding that many crops will benefit from increased atmospheric CO2 concentrations and low levels of warming, but that higher levels of warming will negatively affect growth and yields; that extreme weather events will likely reduce crop yields; that weeds, diseases and insect pests will benefit from warming, and will require additional pest and weed control; and that increasing CO2 concentrations will reduce the land's ability to supply adequate livestock feed, while increased heat, disease, and weather extremes will likely reduce livestock productivity.[73]
Not everyone lives in the Northern Hemisphere, let alone anywhere that will benefit. Many studies show an overall reduction in capacity to produce food.
It's best to understand this by looking at a globe rather than a Mercator projection, and take into account that even though Canada and Siberia are big, Africa is huge. And not everyone in Canada and Siberia will want people from places where crops don't grow moving there. Some parts of the USA may even be less hospitable for crops.
For the same reason that lakes form. When the channels get to a point where they don't flow due to the topology under the glacier then lakes form and can then eat into a glacier.

Shouldn't it be posting on The Register, then?
You do realise that trade deficits and deficit spending are entirely different things, don't you?
Schoenberg would seem to be a valid comparison if you are talking about maths in music.

Those are unusually high rates unless you live somewhere where the cost of living is high.

For those using the owner's (of the lawn) equipment somewhat under $15/hr is typical according to my people in Dallas.
Funny thing about that is the going rate for someone to cut your grass or clean your house is about $30/hour here in Dallas.
I asked a relative in Dallas. The response to $30/hr was one word: 'bullshit'. $15/hr is apparently on the high side.

Per hour? Surely m/s not this Babylonian hours rubbish?
Fair points.
If an invention doesn't work how can it be an invention? If you mean something invented that is not useful or economic, that's another matter.
So all I'd need would be a couple of hundred million anttenae and I could be posting here powered by the last remaining AM station!
Standard incandescent, well lets see. I've got a few left that are rated for 40,000 hours and aren't heavy-duty rated.
The typical lifetime of an incandescent is under 2000. 40,000 is more like the lifetime of an LED. Stop making stuff up

Indeed, it is known about, and contributes about 1% additional warming. It makes very little difference overall.
