The team/league/player revenue split is different between televised games and game tickets. I'd guess the team owners want to push to fill the stadium because of the revenue. They get game broadcast revenues either way since their game will probably broadcast outside the local area even if it isn't a sellout
The grandparent's post was correct and in line with your comments about Australia. One thing that might be different is there are union states and "right to work" states. Union states require that workers be in unions for certain types of contracts. They also generally mandate that every worker in a "union shop" be a union member. This means you can't work there if you are not a member. Quit paying your dues and you can no longer be employed. "Right to work" states are the other end of the spectrum. Union membership is optional and enrollment tends to be low.
We recently had an issue where a union state and a right to work state built a bridge across a river to each other. The union state mandated that all contractors be union shops. The "right to work" state demanded that non union shops be allowed because of the cost difference. (There is also a slight cost of living difference between the two states aligned with the wage differences) I don't remember how it got worked out but construction was delayed for months.
A better comparison would be a secret union of all tech workers that required that none of its employees take work with Apple until they raised their entry level salaries for engineers to 500k per year out of desperation.
Ignoring the secret part... Isn't that the definition of a strike? People refusing work until the hiring company caves to work policies or salaries?
Maybe not Detroit, but definitely not in Northern California - it's way too expensive to do business there. For an R&D/Skunkworks style office, perhaps drawing on the local talent is worth the cost, but putting general office workers and blue collar labor there is silly when you have nice states like Texas, Alabama, North Carolina, and Michigan which have friendly labor laws and cheaper labor pools, along with some top minds in places like Austin, Huntsville, Raleigh, and Ann Arbor.
Those states are good for both high tech talent and manufacturing skills. They have a lower cost of living, other than Michigan. Plenty of companies are being successful in those locations. Northern California is great if you like a lot of workforce turnover.
Now we have expensive resources handle all kinds of mundane tasks and tasks they aren't suited for. Setting up a meeting that requires ordering food, handling the facilities and communicating with other groups? We now pay $100k/yr+ burden cost instead of someone at half the burdened cost.
I remembered this other thread as well but couldn't find it with a Slashdot search of "imessage" or "Imessage android". Maybe better slashdot search would help?
TFA says at least $20 million went into studies. How much money ended up actually making it into the schools, facilities, teachers, transportation, etc?
Parent was correct. Overall spending is up. Some of the worst systems spend the most money per pupil. The nation's capital was the poster child for this in years past.
Teachers are not the primary problems with the schools but they sure do contribute in a lot of situations.
The second half, also very common hard right wing propaganda, is an issue on which there can be reasonable disagreement but is not in any form a "given truth" and even at best ignores the history of teacher unionization from 1920. So, not very good marks to your (presumably private school?) history and political science teachers.
I don't really care if teacher unionization has great historical roots and we have a parade for it every year. None of those folks are still around either in the union or outside of it. The teacher's union is now like other government unions that contribute to their bosses campaigns while negotiating for raises and better working rules with those some bosses.
There are plenty of examples of school problems that can be traced back to teachers and administrators. Look at the Camden article where there staff to teacher ratio is twice that of the rest of the state. That just bleeds funds out of the classrooms.
This is probably the best recycled feed the dairy farmers get. The government is going to regulate something with no history of problems while letting cows continuous antibiotics and while letting the grain companies coat seed in known biological disrupt-ers. I'd said they are focused on the easy problem while letting the bug companies skate.
The proposal would classify companies that distribute spent grain to farms as animal feed manufacturers, possibly forcing them to dry and package the material before distribution.
It's not targeted on breweries specifically. It is targeted at diary farms. It is about accountability what the cows are fed with. Breweries inserted themselves into the market and, as suppliers, are subject to regulations.
HP 16500A mainframe with scope and logic analyzer plugin boards. The thing is over 20 years old.
Finding pods, probes and adapter boards can be a bit of a challenge though.
They last a long time. I finally killed one of the AT connector versions of that thing. Now my oldest is a yellowed PS/2 version that is at least 10 years old.
I can't help but suggest that maybe the younger crowd isn't buying into these things because of the development of new technologies.
Motorcycles and aviation catered to a certain demographic of people looking to get out there and do something interesting, something crazy. Perhaps they were the adrenaline junkies of their time.
Younger folks have been raised / controlled to take less risk. Computers mean they do less with their hands. I have a motorcycle license. Two of my kids have motorcycle licenses. Some of our "friends" ask my wife why she let me do that because its two dangerous.
I'm no adrenaline junkie but I do feel sorry for folks whose risks and activities are all in a video game.
This is one of the more interesting web sites where a lot of postings are by people who actually seem to know something about the topic. Information density per page in the beta is a lot less that it was on the old system.
The new site feels like form over function. I guess the good news is that my scroll wheel finger is going to get all buff with the extra workout.
The time of the aircraft carrier is over in any major power conflict. Generals always fight the previous wars because they can study them.
Aircraft Carriers are good operational platforms for rescue and humanitarian operations. Maybe we could figure out some way to consistently re purpose them?
The danger to human society is these huge nation-states. The only rational thing to do is to reduce the size of these states to the point where they don't pose such risks.
North Korea and Iran are both relatively small nation states capable and interested in building this type of missile system. North Korea would like to end its stalemate with South Korea whether the US was there or not. In Iran's case it is to attack a country some distance away with which it shares no borders.
"The organization has concluded that the United States is now the principle violator of human rights and freedoms worldwide." -- Amnesty International's annual report on human rights.
Dictatorships and closed systems/societies have the advantage that Amnesty International can't get all the information to make valid conclusions. They get rumors and innuendo. Half the time AI only knows there are problems when bodies start flowing down the rivers. I view this in the same way I view those who say that Snowden's documents prove the USA is the most intrusive. (Yeah I'm in the minority that think both the NSA is violating the constitution and that Snowden belongs in jail) This of course isn't true to the degree Europeans like to run on about. Snowden's documents show that many other countries willingly cooperated for information sharing. Dig out the documents from eastern Europe or china and we can talk about how governments rank against each other on some human rights and freedoms scale.
Yeah - so much easier than just right-clicking on the taskbar on the app you want to kill and selecting "Close".
Metro apps don't appear in the task bar. You can't kill them that way. Killing metro apps on a non-touchscreen device is totally non-intuitive for me. Hmmm. Maybe we just agreed with each other?
I'm not sure about your math. The last three places I've worked have all been over 20% H1B developers some over 40%. Where is this 2% place of which you speak?

I message gives you "Reply All" and group messaging. Great for group activities.

They aren't asking for an embargo. They are asking for a competition.

Hypersonic Strike is much better than nukes -- all the destructive power without the nasty radioactive byproducts.
I wish I had your optimism.

They are in the most danger of having their weapons taken from them and their children having access.
