Curious. Posting something accurate about rebutting a false quote gets marked as "Troll".
It's possible to be entirely accurate and a troll at the same time. Think about it.
In this case, your argument that "Jefferson was one of the lamest founding fathers" isn't very convincing. His architecture was some of the best, his writing was excellent, and a lot of his ideas were interesting (none of us is entirely original....I'm not sure I've ever had an entirely original idea myself).
Find me a person who is not a hypocrite, and I'll show you a scoundrel.
Being a hypocrite merely means you have standards, and want to be better than you currently are.
Have you ever looked back at some code you've written, and said, "I should have done better on that code?" Now if you tell other people to not make the same mistake you did, suddenly you are a hypocrite. If "hypocrite" is the worst thing anyone can ever call you, then you've done a good job.
All of sports is arbitrary. Have you seen the rules of basketball? Carry the ball two steps without bouncing, and you're fine. But three steps? That's a penalty.
Baseball is even more crazy. Only one team can touch the ball, and the entire team is playing on the field against one (or up to four) players of the other team. Certain types of bats are allowed, and other types are heavily prohibited.
Every game has rules. If chess didn't have rules, you could win by reaching across the table and stabbing your opponent. The important thing isn't whether the rules are arbitrary, but whether they are (relatively) fair and entertaining to watch.
What regulatory body enforces what "Non-GMO" means and what the punishment will be for mislabeling?
The FTC under the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act. The USDA regulates the meaning of the word "organic," so they might have authority to regulate "non-gmo" but I'm not entirely sure on that.
If you're asking us to change shit and you mention "UX" then we know it's a shit change because we immediately know the type of person you are and the type of changes you want and how frequently you want them.
I knew a company that allowed you to add 'apps' to their product, to increase the functionality. As I dug deeper, I realized there was no internal framework for apps, and they weren't actually apps at all......their 'app' is what we used to call a feature, but calling it 'app' made customers like it more.............
Improve the UI one piece at a time. If you can make small changes that are clearly better, then you will find more support for bigger changes.
Starting with small pieces will help you, too. A huge redesign is a risky project, and you will be to blame when it goes bad. If you do it in small pieces, the risk is small and can be reverted when things go bad.
Still, what if people want to pay $60 for Crocs, but they cost $85 to make?
Some people would be willing to pay the $85 price (or ~$100 price, since of course there are more costs than just making them). Fewer Crocs would be sold at the higher price, but people would still buy them.
What we need, today, is *cheap* labor. We need to reduce labor costs,
We need to increase productivity. When each worker can produce twice as much, the economy will be twice as large (and on average, we'll all have twice as much).
Slave labor wasn't as bad as people believe....just everything else about life sucked--particularly the part about being property, confined to a barn like some sort of mule, and occasionally raped.
Imagine if the DA went around saying, "we need to have a key to your bathroom door."
With a bathroom door it sounds hilarious, but that's basically what he's saying.

Then it's no longer a game of skill, but instead a sports exhibition.
It's definitely partially a sports exhibition. Skill is involved, but if it weren't an exhibition, it wouldn't be making prime time TV.

Seems reasonable if it makes the game more entertaining.

They figured out how to replace the programs before they were shut down. That's why the programs were shut down in the first place.......
My issue with this stuff is it's all so arbitrary

I really wonder what kind of drugs would enhance a curlers performance.
From what I've read, they mostly depend on alcohol. Serious scandal. Reprehensible, unconscionable, etc.
Not to mention "nutritionally-balanced breakfasts" improve your overall health. Steroids are detrimental to health.
*including hybridization or selective breeding*.
lol this is basically saying, "don't use it at all."
"They might".
You don't seem to like this phrase. And yet you added nothing to the conversation except your own preconceived notions. Disappointing.

Weird how often that is true.
You should do something, but it doesn't have to be working for other people. You can work on your own projects.
Work is something I do if I'm bored and need to kill some time.
I seriously don't understand anyone who feels bored.

My guess is that work/life balance isn't for us in the trenches, it's for the guys
It's for guys who know how to take a day off without working twice as hard the next day. That's ridiculous, you shouldn't need to do that.
What we need, today, is *cheap* labor. We need to reduce labor costs,
We need to increase productivity. When each worker can produce twice as much, the economy will be twice as large (and on average, we'll all have twice as much).
I'll bet some bulls would still find a way to dismount people
The ideal work/life ratio is 0.
(You can still work, but work on things you care about, not what someone will pay you for).
How do ACLU and OSHA abuse people?
Slave labor wasn't as bad as people believe....just everything else about life sucked--particularly the part about being property, confined to a barn like some sort of mule, and occasionally raped.
That sounds bad
This is what your parents said.
To be fair, we then ended up with Bush. So they weren't entirely wrong......
