Perfect example of phrasing the question in order to get the desired response. All this survey tells me is that almost 2/3s of the respondents didn't understand the question.
Good tools cost more, whether made in USA or China. The author's point is that many tools made in China are crap, and they don't cost as much as good tools.
I don't have any mod points, but this is the most insightful comment I've read on slashdot in a long, long time. Granted, it's probably Marketing 101 that every MBA knows though.
That's how it's been defined in private industry for decades (although it has eased off a bit in recent years).
If a member of a protected class feels threatened or uncomfortable, they were harassed. Period. Should I tell a woman I like her new haircut? Nope - that can be taken as a sexual advance - lawsuit time.
I mostly agree with what you say - "quality" journalism really means carefully researched and well written, but usually still one sided. NYT and NPR are the most obvious examples of this.
In the past people had to pay for journalism by buying newspapers, magazines, or watching/listening to advertising, so the outlets that marketed themselves as "quality" had it easier - the price was essentially the same for consumers whether the journalism appeared good or bad. Today the choice is free for rehashed wire service stories or pay for the perception of a better product. And people are choosing free.
The labor force participation rate is at historic lows, thanks in part to Obama easing eligibility rules for disability and expanding unemployment benefits.
Think about how many hours of that 40 hour week go towards carrying people who are living on transfer payments.
But instead of institutionalizing him, they left him at his house
It is very, very difficult to institutionalize someone against their will - personal freedoms and all that.
Why do you think there are so many homeless people wandering the streets? Everyone agrees they are mentally ill and need help, but you can't force help on them unless they are violent.
Would you want the police to have the authority to decide you need to be locked away and drugged into a stupor?
No, they said it was a successful prototype and they intend to continue development on the next model, based in part on what they learned from this one. Normal R&D.

why would we expect them any less capable or motivated to commit mass murder than someone today?
My guess is that this was neither war nor mass murder. More like an armed gang plundering a village, same as the Vikings raiding England.
Then why are people opposed to GMO crops? If you disagree with some corporation's tactics then oppose that, don't oppose GMO crops.

as soon as there is a hint of flexibility or laxity in the oversight, will slip through lower quality where ever they think they can get away with
That's my understanding. It's an East versus West thing - Eastern mindset is "if you don't catch me cheating I'm a clever businessman"

That's not how most sane, non-SJW's define it.

Dreaming up make work for the unwashed masses is stupid.
He's tossing out silly but warm fuzzy proposals that will be shot down by Congress so Democrats can point fingers.
Everything he posts is either anti-nuke FUD or solar power fantasy.
The summary is designed to generate page hits and replies.
Everything is new under Obama.
President Truman had it right: "The buck stops here".
Obama has spent his entire administration pointing fingers.
The labor force participation rate is at historic lows, thanks in part to Obama easing eligibility rules for disability and expanding unemployment benefits.

Why are you so pissed about efforts to keep a supply chain ethical
He isn't pissed; he has his head out of the sand and sees the world we live in as it really is. Unlike some other people...

I saw the Batmobile do that years ago (in a movie, but I'm sure it was real).
She had four drinks that afternoon. Granted that shouldn't make her falling down drunk, but she was drinking and she was impaired.
Even better is reviewing documents while swimming.

It was a research project. I'm sure they never intended it to be something that would be deployed yet, so there was no reason to make it stealthy.

Modded Offtopic? Seriously?
The reality is that manned space missions are a relic of the past.
The Marines would have to put up with a lot of horse shit. But maybe they're used to that.
Russia has decided that a manned space missions aren't worth the cost and risk.
