Beyond 'minimum' needs like food, shelter, health, security, and perhaps some good sex thrown in, income basically is disposable.
Except there's not a clearly defined boundary line that a person crosses at a certain income level. There's a long transition zone, where more money means better food, a nicer home, a safer neighborhood, and more sex. Your Utopian society in which everyone is happy to share the wealth equally doesn't exist.
One of the goals of our economic system is removing the choice of working only to the tipping point, and only leaving the options of not working at all (and being destitute) or working nearly all of your waking hours.
It seems you're saying that a person who chooses to not work enough to support the lifestyle they want should be given a free ride. I find it hard to believe any economic system could function that way.
Here in the US most people who want to work "full time" are working 40 hours per week. There are some who work more, mostly because their tipping point favors more money at that stage in their life. Only once in my career have I been asked to work longer hours than I wanted to without extra compensation; needless to say I quit that job.
Of 25 firearm laws, nine were associated with reduced firearm mortality, nine were associated with increased firearm mortality, and seven had an inconclusive association....Very few of the existing state-specific firearm laws are associated with reduced firearm mortality
Not enough information in the Lancet summary to draw any conclusions, but expecting a drop of 90% doesn't sound realistic.
It tried to install automatically for me too. The "Upgrade to 10" was hidden under Optional Updates and checked by default. If you let Windows install optional updates automatically, or you install them without looking to see what was preselected for you, it installs 10 without you requesting it.
What you say is generally true, the obsolescence cycle for those languages is longer than today's shiny new thing. But they will become obsolete.
Keeping up with technology trends is the best way to ensure income security; you don't need to jump on every fad, but be prepared to move on when the moving's good.
The only surprise is that anyone reads that rag. Their circulation numbers are as made up as their crossword puzzles; every hotel in the country has a stack of them that customers won't touch.
What country, or state, or city gets to decide truth? The entire proposition is absurd; people need to be educated to understand that all media outlets are biased rather than trying to have some government agency decide what bias is acceptable.
Only one of the reactors shut down, not the entire plant (as mdsolar incorrectly states in the summary, but we are used to his fud). The grid handled it without disruption.
You're comments have no credibility when all you do is swear at someone from behind the cloak of anonymity.
FWIW I completely agree with GP. This article has no place on slashdot. There are millions of blogs to read about Trump's tweets, Hillary's misstatements, etc., etc. You want to scream at people endlessly about the day's political stories? Go somewhere else.
The Chelyabinsk meteor was over 30 times more powerful than this one, and it did hit directly over a big city. But nobody was killed. It takes a much, much bigger rock to make it through the atmosphere.
In the UK, there is no monopoly on giving legal advice
Same here in the US. You can't charge for the service unless you are a member of the bar. But if go into a bar and ask for legal advice you will get it from everyone there.
Seems like something we already knew, but didn't understand the mechanism. The cooling days in Fall are uncomfortable compared to the warming days in Spring even though the thermometer reads the same, because your body had gotten better at burning calories over the Winter.
The problem with "work from anywhere" is that only a small percentage of the workforce can be effective working remotely. Many (probably most) aren't able to communicate and stay focused when working remotely, so management insists on having everyone in the cubical farm together.
Having a skilled workforce and jobs in an urban center helps both the employer find staff and the employee find jobs. I don't see that going away anytime soon. Driverless cars won't have any impact, it really doesn't matter to most people if they hire a taxi/Uber cab or if the car is driverless. The projections of driverless cars that are both very cheap and always available are a pipe dream.
Seriously. What else do you expect readers to do? That is a very condescending statement.
Being old enough to remember when IBM mainframes ruled data centers, I can assure you that these woman are minimum wage clerical staff; keypunch and tape librarians (a.k.a. "operators"). Notice that Bea, the one in front of the oscilloscope is also pictured pulling a tape off the rack.
Another big part of their job was pulling printouts off the printers and putting them into little pigeon holes for the engineers to pick up. When the young engineers wanted a break they would head down to the computer room to pick up their printouts and flirt with the operators; that's what life was back in those days.
Does Brown have diversity quotas for the people they hire as Inclusion Advocates? Every time I've seen similar programs the straight white male demographic was seriously under represented.

Except when power companies are forced to buy the power generated from the panels at a premium price, everyone contributes to that subsidy
Maybe you could look out the window and see a gremlin messing with the engines, or something like that. Anyone get the reference?
No. This proposal is already what federal law requires. But it's an election year so they are saying whatever will get votes.

Given that Microsoft recommends doing exactly what he did, I wouldn't be too harsh on him; it was enemy action.

There are plenty of affordable homes in Detroit. Probably thousands of properties that can be had for almost nothing from HUD.
It was a thriving and prosperous city until its golden goose moved away.

I don't see how SqlServer can compete against Postgresql. The only thing SqlServer had going for it was integration with .Net framework.

Same mentality. Disagree with someone? Do whatever you can to suppress their speech.
It's not like Exxon is trying to stifle the American Geophysical Union by sponsoring their event.
The geoscientists are really making themselves look bad by doing this.
Given how they collected the fungi in the first place, you seem to be asking someone to PM your for a BM
Because the money they do have comes from oil producing regions uncomfortably close the the war they are funding.
