Where are you getting this $22 Trillion/year number? Since that is larger than the entire GDP of the United States, I'd like to see your source. It seems unlikely to be true.
I got my BS and MS at GT... I think I was paying about $800/quarter for tuition at that time (graduated 1999 and 2001)... where they stick it to you is room and board, which I think is up to about $4-5K/semester, and is required for freshmen and sophomores. $1000/mo or so and it's not even a proper apartment. Then... there's the meal plan... *barf*
Good luck at GT though. It's a tough program (no matter what it is there) but well worth the effort, and complete absence of social life, relaxation, and calm. Hah...
You've stumbled upon the "MythBusters" aspect of modern pseudoscience. If you don't get the result you are looking for, just do whatever it takes to get it, and then claim victory.
They want Facebook to fire him, sue him to return all of the money he ever made from them, public castration, tar and feathering, and finally the GUILLOTINE!
Don't forget that it was the left that was responsible for Jim Crow laws, 'separate but equal,' most of modern slavery, and almost all of the defense of slavery in the 1800s.
The left has never been interested in "equal protection under the Law,'" nor in defending the constitution, nor in equal rights for all. Only two democrats in the senate even voted for the abolition of slavery by the 13th amendment. The first vote in the House failed to pass it, with ALL of the House democrats voting AGAINST it.

My airplane weighs ~1900lbs empty and seats 6 people... and has a gross weight of 3400lbs. That's about half of what your average 6-passenger SUV weighs. (My 4-passenger pickup truck is 6500lbs EMPTY).
I feel much safer in the air than I do on the ground, owing to the high degree of situational awareness and control over air traffic. Driving on the road is just mayhem to me.
I ran a large BBS in upstate New York with tons of door games, file areas, message boards, and FIDOnet. It all started with our Tandy 1000 PC that had two floppy drives and no hard drive. In 1988 I managed to trade some stuff I had for an ENORMOUS hard drive - 40 MEGAbytes, that miraculously worked in the Tandy. IIRC it was a Miniscribe 8450. The actuator made the coolest sounds.
g=c800:5 and a few keystrokes later, I had space for my first BBS. I ran a piece of software called Phoenix RCS at first, but transitioned to WWIV later as the BBS grew. I ended up on Wildcat, because all the BBSes in that time ended up on Wildcat. I had 4 incoming lines at the height of it all in 1989, but pared it back to two as the 90s rolled around and BBSes started falling off in popularity. I finally pulled the plug in 1994 when I was only getting a few calls per day and there was clearly no more interest in BBSing in the area.
I often think about setting up a terminal BBS again, but it's just not the same without... that sounds.... screeeeeeeeeeeee.. beeeeeee.ksshhhhhhhhhh... CONNECT 2400
Those were an incredibly fun and enriching 6 years though, and I met some of the coolest people. I will always have fond memories of growing up in the BBS age. You young whipper snappers are really missing out on the earliest dawn of the age of communication and data. I would encourage you to see the BBS documentary. It's a great watch.
I hope this has been a fun, reminiscent story for a lot of you slashdotters. Take care.
Do you think a reasonable person looks at a carton of "Soy Milk" and thinks that it is milk from a lactating animal?
Do you think a reasonable person looks at a carton of "Almond Milk" and things that it is milk from a lactating animal?
Cashew milk? Coconut milk?
I think it's perfectly reasonable to say that "Milk" with no modifier is milk from a cow, and that anything other than milk from a cow has to have something in front of it saying what it is from:
Goat Milk Almond Milk Cashew Milk Etc..
I don't know why a lactating animal necessarily has to be involved.
It's a very low fat source of protein and energy. Extremely low fat in proportion to the others. I eat a pound of pasta every day as part of my 4,000 calorie per day diet (pasta contains approximately 1,600 calories in a pound). I don't know how I'd make my calorie intake goals without it.
At least, they are not supposed to be. Version numbering, particularly decimal-delimited versioning, was originally intended to communicate concisely the level of risk involved with the change from the prior version, with each field, progressing left to right, representing less risk.
For example:
2.4.12 -> 2.4.13 ~= Little risk involving a low degree of time and expense managing integration failures and customer blowback. Often these changes can be rolled out in production with little or even no integration testing beforehand
2.4.x -> 2.5.x ~= Moderate risk involving a significant degree of time and expense, customers should plan on offline integration testing on a snapshot before deployment
2.x.x -> 3.x.x =~ Major risk involving significant changes in process or procedure, significant changes in data handling. May require significant software retooling by the customer, and certainly requires significant integration testing, software development, or capital outlay before deployment.
Today, this helpful, informative approach has morphed into a marketing tool... sad!
This is a great first step, but let's make this at least mostly autonomous. Already autonomous cars are coming, but with the carnage they seem to be leaving on the roadways, what if we could come up with a way to make them more or less idiot-proof?
This electrifying track is a great first step in making electric cars feasible, but what if we added a couple more of them that could interface with the wheels of the car to keep it moving in exactly the right direction? If there is no ambiguity or variance in the direction of travel, the problem becomes one dimensional and then automating becomes much easier since you only have to worry about the distance to cars in front or behind you.
Even more, we could really pile on the efficiency if we created some kind of way to couple cars together on the road, so first they don't even have to worry about distance because they're linked together, and second they get the benefit of drafting to increase fuel economy.
We could even build these "track roads" between major urban centers and even have "commuter" versions of them for more local travel.
Man, this is getting almost too big to wrap my head around - it seems almost too good to be true because not only is it feasible but I think it really would be much safer and more efficient!
I bought a new truck last weekend, and it had a CD slot in the dash. Totally joking, I asked the ~20 year old sales girl what it was for, and she said "oh that's where you put your cell phone holder. We have them inside and you get one free with the truck."
And sure enough, when I got done signing the papers, there was a CD-slot mounted cell phone holder in it.
CDs died eons ago. Best Buy, as usual, is catching on to shifts in technology ten years after the fact.
Fuck yes they do, and an aircraft cannot get an airworthiness certificate without one. You are required to learn how to use a magnetic compass as part of your flight training, and you are tested on your knowledge of how it works, how to use it, and how it is affected by flight factors.
Don't forget that Costco at least also pays a living wage, with the lowest paid workers making about $35K/year plus medical, dental, and vision benefits, and a 401k match.
Costco is definitely not the cheapest game in town for much of what they sell, but like you say, you CAN get in and out of there FAST with a month's worth of supplies, and not have to make 10 stops across town to get it all. That kind of convenience is worth quite a bit.
I have 7 kids, 5 dogs, a wife, and a house that is in a constant state of chaos. I have an office because there is no way I can get any work done in that environment.

Nope, I am not.
Curb weight is 6651. GVWR is 8800. (According to the FMVSS label). It's a 1/2 ton Diesel.

You don't actually believe that, do you? Have you SEEN the media coverage of Trump since he was elected? I would hardly call that "under his control."
If you want to see State control of the media, look at North Korea, not the US.
EQUIFAX: We have investigated ourselves, and found that we have done nothing wrong.
SEC: Cool. As you were.
