Does Apple not see that, if fewer people can afford its products, it will do poorly? Is the lesson of Henry Ford and the $5 a day wage lost on contemporary American management?
This is about brains. It takes brains and experience for a rep to decide how to resolve an issue. Paypal leans on policy to lessen its dependence on brains.
A hunrded thousand times 10% is 10,000. If we could travel 10,000 times the speed of light, we could cross about 4-5% of the galaxy in one year.
By your clock, all you need is 99.99% of the speed of light to circumnavigate the known universe. You'd have to forget about anyone you'd left behind on Earth, though.
I wrote that comment too hastily. I find it hard to be cheery when a bank does yet more esoteric, inscrutable things to make a buck.
BTW, the GDP of the entire world is 60 trillion, so numbers "that exceed trillions" do not seem based in reality, unless you're using the world's assets leveraged 1000 to 1 to buy out Rigel 7.
Unless you're disabled and need a cart, Millenium Park makes no sense as an example. None of the features named are accessible by car... you can walk to one or another in a minute or two.
On a more mundane level, if the US math skills were generally better than mediocre, the economic crash of 2008 would not've happened. People read mortgage contracts without understanding the implications.
Do they have a word for "government by lobbyists?"
We have a representative democracy on paper, but when the rubber hits the road, how does congress vote on the really important matters? Most of the country wants better healthcare but congress won't vote on it. We need better gun laws but congress won't vote on it. Wall Street needs more oversight but... you get the idea.
I have seen this before with Dr Robert Bussard's appeals for fusion research funding. The problem is, the average schmo doesn't have more than a few dollars to contribute; it takes millions of them to raise the amounts needed. On the other hand, a wealthy investor or government agency could make an immediate difference.
Oddly, the part about people dying from the flooding seems not to be prominent in the news. If 300 died from some other disaster, I think it'd be a big deal...

Someone's getting grilled.
"Worker's paradise," my shiny metal ass.
Sounds like a simple case of, "We don't like them, and we don't like you, so since they give you money, we'll oppose it."
Mitt cannot harm a human being, or through inaction, allow a human being to be harmed.

The 5-meter cable is $2700 at Amazon. WTF????????

Such numbers are not meant for the grasp of mere humans living on a working wage.
Screw you, your uppity attitude, and the horse you rode in on.

What if they gave an IPO and nobody came?

Can't someone simply write a spoof program to mimic Carrier IQ's output and send them spurious junk?
Bugs have programs.

I think you mean object code.

Was that deliberate or did the girls not make the cut?
The universe isn't fine-tuned for life. It is fine-tuned for me.
breathtaking.
Is there some reason for saying that "today" humanity passed the 7B mark? Are the counts really that accurate?
