Wasn't this the one that discriminated against boys? The idea being similar to the sexist assumption that feminism means pushing for gender equality because discriminating against men somehow helps make things equal?
That is within perfectly reasonable bounds. IT workers are more like a Doctor or Lawyer than a McDonalds worker in term of the intelligence level required to succeed in the field.
Also see the last story for why CEOs think it is worth it. IT workers are expected to be working toward putting other workers, including themselves out of the job. They don't succeed all at once but they do the shrink the pool a group at a time and eventually all the pieces will have been developed to accomplish this.
Were they vcr proof? Because, since commercial skipping was stripped out, there is no difference with regard to how a dvr impacts advertising. There were actually even devices that could skip commercials with similar effect to what has been ripped out on a vcr recording but they were never common.
Since the safety checks are language dependent and aren't actually related to the algorithm logic, yes, that is better. This isn't a copy and paste recipe book. Learn the algorithm logic from the book then write your own implementation in the language of choice.
Sure walk-in centers exist in the US if you have spare no expense attitude. Just getting in to my doctor for any appointment can take 6-8 weeks and arguing it requires getting in faster often means being directed to an ER. You can't "walk-in" to get an MRI without a doctor referral if you want there to be any chance of it being covered by your insurance and even so using that clinic will likely leave you with a series of bills amounting to $1000+ when all is said and done. Remember when a doctor or hospital visit resulted in a single bill from a single entity? Unless of course you haven't met your several thousand dollar deductible in which case it will be much much more.
That is of course assuming you are allowed to get an MRI in the first place. 99% of the time a doctor is ordering an x-ray or a CT an MRI would have been a better test but your insurance refuses or he knows it won't cover an MRI.
"The nuclear diamond battery is based on the fact that when a man-made diamond is exposed to radiation, it produces a small electric current."
A diamond is needed to convert the radiation into current, there is no clear indication the radiation source itself needs to be a diamond vs lining a shielded rtg with vapor deposited diamond.
I wouldn't dispute that at all you need all three. Like I said in another thread, keep that hamburger, drop the bun and the ketchup, but keep the thin slice of tomato.
You also never want to combine high carb and high fat in an 8 hour period. Go ahead, have that pasta, just don't have butter/cream/meatballs/cheese. Have your sausage and bacon, do not eat toast or jelly or a muffin alongside it... you could always have whole grain toast tomorrow.
Unfortunately cuisine is pretty much universally designed around combining these elements. As hunter gathers this was easy, you kill a boar you ate boar that night, you forage berries you ate berries that night, food was too scarce to render those berries into a nice glaze carbing up a ham.
A nutritionless high fat food would still be better than a nutritionless food filled with complex carbohydrates because fat satiates and burns more slowly.
Eating dietary fat is not eating badly, we've known this for decades but there are even some doctors telling you to eat skinless chicken, turkey, and complex carbs. Dietary fat is important, is a better source of calories than carbs for many reasons, and it should not be excluded from your diet! Some plant based oils lead to heart disease so moderate your intake of those... amusingly most people consume them because they were taught the healthy fats cause heart disease.
Watching TV and spending time on the computer are actually both more productive than spending time at the gym. They both engage the mind to a greater degree and potentially contain new information. There are even things to be learned from fiction. Building the brain at least carries the potential for improving how you do something useful.
I will agree that spending a few minutes heavy lifting a few times a week improves even mental function. Increasing the activity level beyond this actually just causes your brain to waste more and more of it's limited capacity on sensing/controlling increasingly large and fast nervous system required to have that level of physical function while that level of physical function has no practical use.
Yes but the idea is to reduce body fat not overall mass. More lean mass is actually helpful as it burns more calories both by being maintained and with every action you take.
Really? I've heard people who claim we have the best healthcare make claims such as that. I've yet to ever encounter someone who came here for healthcare though. I do know people who have imported things or exported themselves for treatments not offered here or save dramatically on the cost of treatment vs the US though. Including myself, I went to Mexico for dental work at 25% of the cost (which frankly is still an outrageous figure). My dentist tried to discourage me but on my return he reviewed the work and confessed to me that everyone he knows who has gone there for treatment has had excellent work done.
There is a big problem with that quote... human weight gain is not caused by high dietary fat intake. Carbs aka sugars are less filling and burned faster than dietary fats, complex carbs are promoted like crazy by out of date diets (which includes the 1980's "heart healthy" diet promoted by many doctors) but while burning slower than simple carbs they still are less filling and satiating than fats.
So yeah, that burger from McDonalds is bad but it's the bun, sauces, tomato, fries, and coke are that are the evil bits. Not the fatty burger itself.
Either a percentage (25% is reasonable, most benefits packages are valued there or below that) above the prevailing industry rate for the geographical area or within that same percentage above the pay rate of the highest paid employee who previously performed a functionally similar position within the last 2 years within the hiring organization, whichever is higher.
The only way you even have a chance of ending H1B abuse is to guarantee it will never provide a cost saving measure vs existing or local talent. I don't care what market data you are coming up with, if the actual market has resulted in the guy you have now commanding $120k/yr plus a benefits package that is the most targeted indicator of the correct wage.
Sure, on the other hand what is stopping us from making something similar using Pu-238? Man-made diamond and vapor deposition of the same didn't exist when RTGs were designed.
Tech workers should have similar professional regulation and an oath not unlike Doctors. This would create an ethical barrier to some of the terrible things tech workers are asked to do. Spam, military drone programs, massive domestic spying, work for the RIAA/MPAA/BSA. I know many tech workers who work on critical systems where mistakes could massive disruption and even loss of life on an epic scale and I've seen some of them replaced by completely unqualified and inexperienced foreigners. A tech manager should have to risk losing his professional credentials for those kind of staffing choices and those workers should lack the professional credentials required to hold them.
Do you really want air traffic control systems coded and administered by the lowest H1B bidder with his 4 year degree handed out after 2 years of joke education and no actual experience or do you think maybe we should require some professional regulation on the people performing these functions? So that not only are they qualified but when asked to make unsound choices like getting rid of important redundant equipment as a cost saving measure by management they can refuse saying they'd lose their credentials for that, just like doctors refuse services they think are unethical all the time.
They should have to pay a minimum of within 1% of the mean average salary of US workers in the same position at the same company plus the estimation of benefits package value. Also the H1B visa worker should have to meet the qualifications listed for the position instead of those terms just being used to justify not hiring higher priced workers. There should be no cost savings with H1B workers, period. By the time it is all worked out H1B workers should cost more than domestic talent for that same position at that same company.

True, the probability of needing those things doesn't even rate as statistical noise relative to overpriced dental work.

My thought as well.

Exactly, complex carbs are better than simple, fats better yet, and proteins best of all.

I leave that up to the shrink but these are the kind of warning signs that if ignored lead to mass shootings/bombings and the like.
Because this spending would need to be off the books. You couldn't use campaign contributions to bribe diebold.
This isn't real local talent, these are immigrants on student visas.
Or we could exclude all things technology from the H1B program since the workers aren't actually needed.
