Yesterday I had an interesting discussion with a Liberal.
"The figure of 4.5% of people working two jobs seem way low."
"Politifact claims it's correct! [link]"
"Politifact lies here. It cites a specific study and picks out one single figure: people who work exactly one full-time job and one part-time job. There are people who work two jobs in different configurations. Two full-time jobs, three part-time jobs, etc. It's all in [the study] linked by Politifact."
" "Politifact lies here. Don't believe ANYTHING. They're ALL out to get you!!!" See how it works?! Don't fall for it, Americans."
"Why don't you address the rest of the sentence?!"
"I trust Politifact, I don't trust you!"
"So you trust Politifact, but you don't trust the study upon which Politifact bases its claims?"
Remember the result of the First Free Elections in Iraq, after deposing Saddam?
The Iraqi Nation voted. They choose a major religious fundamentalist choice, in genuine, free, honest elections. Then USA decided they didn't like their choice, dismissed the result of the elections and set up a government of their own.
There's a rather lengthy list of cases where USA was sticking their fingers into foreign government choices.
Primarily, no matter how many dictionaries managed by non-mandated bodies it's added to, it's an incorrect word, until the Royal Spanish Academy decides otherwise.
Spanish is a prescriptive language, meaning a word is not officially a part of that language until the official regulatory body responsible for accepting or rejecting modifications of language approves it. You can't willy-nilly change it, like you can do with English, a descriptive language, just by coining a new word or a new grammar rule and getting some people to use it. And the current stance or Royal Spanish Academy is a simple "no".
In other words, unironically using "Latinx" is a plain, generic spelling error.
Note, for H1B, it's not enough for the foreign developers to write same quality, or somewhat better. They must do things domestic developers are completely incapable of. If you have sub-par (but still workable) domestic dev, and a superior foreigner, H1B doesn't apply. Only if the domestic just can't deliver at all.
"We don't want to move our asses from our comfortable offices, but as we can't continue importing cheap labor, we'll have to follow where that cheap labor used to come from."
Many older cities, especially in Europe, followed a circular diagram, with ray streets outwards and round ones connecting them. At first that would be the result of being squeezed into city walls, then followed expansion outwards, along these streets and filling in the space in between.
And cities located in hilly/mountainous terrain will have streets following curvature of the hills; the steep streets of San Francisco that completely ignore the slopes and make for such iconic scenes in car chase movies are something rarely seen in the world. Usually, you'll have streets that run along the slope, maintaining level or moderate climb/descent, and connecting/branching where terrain allows.
...and that's the problem with today's "investigative journalists". They *know* certain things and announce them with 100% conviction, completely regardless of factual events. If facts don't agree with their *knowledge*, too bad for the facts!
FAA needs to adapt and adjust. The launch + landing take a couple minutes and not a chance to take longer. If the launch is delayed, it's delayed by days, not minutes or hours. This means the restrictions shouldn't affect more than a couple airplanes that would be in the immediate vicinity of the launchpad and downrange, for duration of the rocket flight; some of them could even just throttle down and add extra 15 minutes of delay without changing the route.
Restrictions due to rocket launches have ridiculously, unreasonably huge safety margins in that respect; these could be reduced by like 90% without increasing risk *at all*.
'cause I'd be unsurprised if upon entering the correct PIN you got the same 'wrong PIN', authors of the phone just being lazy and implementing 'SIM doesn't work without PIN, ask for PIN regardless of lockout status'.
A prison knife is a makeshift weapon, like a spoon with sharpened handle, or other sharpened piece of metal the inmate obtained by ripping it off off some infrastructure, then shaped, sharpened by grinding against whatever would serve as the abrasive, and added a handle by wrapping it in a strip of cloth or plastic.
This sort of treaties tends to be 1. unenforceable, 2. overly costly for presented efficiency.
Instead of focusing on solving the problem you focus on adhering to the letter of the treaty. You implement regulations that stand conflict with existing ones, you implement from scratch solutions required while you already possess superior alternatives, you need to establish a whole unit responsible for coordinating the efforts internationally and screening all launches completely independently from whatever you already have in place... and then it doesn't mean shit, because Brasil or some other India launches a new experimental rocket that followed the treaty to the dot, then blew up in orbit and produced ten thousand new debris to track.
Going the route of domestic 'best effort' is simply a more practical approach.
It's not violating any treaties. The move is actually more of a reorganization than creating something new - isolating the space-related units from other forces and consolidating them.
And as for "has anything to do with it" - do you think Obama invented Obamacare?
Projects like this lie in desk drawers for decades, and get presented to any president that happens along. The one who decides to give the project a go-ahead gets to claim the credit.
Thing is, this seems to be a progressing trend, not a fixed state. As the gap between supply and demand grows, employers *will* have to get more competitive. While salaries on lowest unskilled labor positions may remain unchanged for a time, shortage for skilled labor will encourage people to get training/education and take up these better paid positions. In order, vacating unskilled labor positions, necessitating competition between employers there.
The "stickiness" you describe is something that certainly slows down the process, and it's uncertain if the current trend will last. But if it does - so what if a lot of employers post a lot of ads for minimum wage positions? These will just hang as spam uselessly while good offers will appear and will be taken up.
(similarly, if you're in market for a home or rent a room... the common experience is "95% of offers are total worthless crap!" - it's because crappy landlords keep their ads posted for years waiting for a sucker, while good offers vanish within hours to days; therefore on the average the volume of crap offers outweigh the good ones 20:1. Doesn't mean there's a housing crisis or a shortage of good offers, it's just that they are obscured by prevalent spam.)

If the Russians could skip air-gap inside secure US facilities, you think air gap around their borders will be of any use?
She's still trying, and considering the current rabid protests against Trump maintaining peace with Russia, she's doing so quite actively.

Obama being American or not is completely besides the point.
Obama was a puppet, doing what he was told. You'd be hard-pressed finding anything he did that was good for "the people".
Sure, easy! ...wait, you mean, other than himself?

Panama. Guatemala. Bolivia. Afghanistan. Nicaragua.
The hypocrisy is staggering.
1. Who? TFA doesn't identify the attackers in any way.
2. Whom? TFA doesn't mention affiliation of the candidates.
Supposedly your side is against stereotyping, jumping to conclusions and presuming guilt basing on nationality/ethnicity?

Obviously not enough of them are women, and being Latinos is insufficient to get enough traction.
Until they change their mind, e.g. Martin Luther King's "Negro".

You should take climate into account. During snowy winter, it may be much, much faster... in one direction.

Did entering the correct PIN unlock the phone?

Considering DNC just killed the bill that would put a stop to it, you might want to remove that "blockquote".

Or maybe he's just doing president stuff and doesn't care about whatever you consider "real issue".
