On certain issues I would be considered "right wing" on others sane and sensible:) Though while I used to say I would vote for the best candidate the Republicans have become so bizarre that I will probably never vote republican again.
Take this as a lesson: On matters of drug legalization the libertarian part of the Republican party is actually in agreement the liberal wing of the democratic party on the issue of drug legalization.
One of my gripes, other than the Fortran white space which was abandoned in F90, is the horrible way string handling done, though there are other things which are over convoluted. Reasonable languages consider regex a cross cutting concern. But in over objectioned languages it looks like: >>> import re >>> p = re.compile('[a-z]+') >>> p.match("") >>> print(p.match(""))
While in Perl it looks like: $x="abcde" $result=~/abc/;print $result;
Most programming languages know about cross cutting concerns and so make them available with out much fuss.
Not short selling, but taking profits and putting them into boring old school companies who have been paying dividends for the past 50 years. I'm also looking at bonds and continue to hope gold continues to drop.
I am very uneasy. There seem to several bubbles going which in aggregate or perhaps 1 to 3 happening at the same time spells disaster:
1) Cryptocurrencies. Yes, plural. 2) AI 3) Financial markets 4) Housing 5) Student loans 5) Health care 6) Tech in general, a run up in price of things such as FB and Tesla. 7) Foreign and domestic real estate
And probably more I can't think of right now. A collapse in the NYSE exchange would have a large impact on the global economy but 2 or 3 smaller ones together might have a ripple effect causing a larger collapse. I think we live in fragile times. If you look at history there were bubbles about every 10 to 20 years after the lessons of the last collapse fades from memory. We're about due.
Perhaps the most important knowledge gained is that governments should not and cannot be allowed to control the means of exchange.
Have you been asleep these past 17 years? Did you not see the instability wrought by repealing the Glass-Steagle act? Have you an understanding of the effect such things such as insider trading laws in helping maintain a close semblance of a Free Market in Financial markets?
Are you aware in the 1800's where there was little or no regulation of the markets there were 16 collapses, depressions and panics. In a much smaller economy. Between 1873 and 1896, a period called "The Long Depression" there were 6 of them.
The S&L crisis only occurred after it was deregulation. It destroyed S&Ls, a major competitor of banks, and now they are going after credit unions.
Because it is unregulated when the crash comes the fat cats, the exchanges and insiders, will walk away with huge sums and everyone else gets screwed.
The only way to even approximate a Free Market, a level playing field highly efficient and unbiased, is through regulation. Free Market != unregulated market. Unregulated Market usually means a captured market. That is the problem of libertarianism.
If you like the place you work when asked you fill out the survey, "Yeah cool a great place to work". If you hate it you leave. I cannot discern their methodology but I suspect this may be an important factor.
The Government is interfering with with efforts of hardworking business leaders. Let's go back to the good old days of the 19th and early 20th century when financial markets were unfettered and were allowed to find the most efficient solution to gaining profits for banks and brokerages.
Those bureaucrats have no idea how hard it is to line up marks, oops I meant customers, to make an honest profit.
I've seen a lot of bad research, and bad job skills, coming out of certain Asian countries. If anything I see them as a drag on research. Not all of them mind you, but a fair number of them.
Oppenheimer? He was born in NYC, as american as you can get without being a Native. You, and everyone on this thread who don't seem to realize this just lost a bit of credibility.
Slashdot Mirror
Nancy was the true evil one. Reagan was a weak person surrounded by evil people. Remember Cheney was part of his administration at one point.
To Reagan's credit he did volunteer for WWII. But that was before he met Nancy and switched sides.
John Wayne was perfectly healthy but didn't volunteer. Instead of being a Marine he played one in the movies. He was a yellow bellied coward.
Yeah, slashdot has really gone downhill since the good old days.

So it is not all black or white.

Why? It's not a developer's job to become an editor guru but to code. Anything that interferes with that is wrong.
why? it's not my job to clean up other's code. My job is to code.

I like their towels. They're made in Germany so you know they're good. But why would Apple buy them?
Or you could just be a cynical old mercenary like myself.
Knowing humans, we'll probably start working on Data but ship Lars. You see, deadlines kept slipping so we cut QA....

I did a command F and couldn't find HPE or HP Inc.

That question to Zuck and Facebook management is, "Would you allow your children to use this app"?
Or Capitalism with a human face which actually pursues scientific management. As another poster put it, no unicorns have been spotted in these parts.
Humans are basically monkeys. We even have vestigial tails.

"forward with Mumbai-Delhi HSR, the small towns in between *prevent their citizens from being screwed* and kill it."
Fixed that for you. Hope it helps.

What part of the post implied the poster felt oppressed?
or vagrancy
