So what is this statement supposed to be? An expression of love and goodness? Or does it throw together a race and a political conviction, and then blindly assume that anyone of that race or conviction automatically "blabs hate"?
And that gets +4 insightful. You people disgust me.
I think there is space in the market for a website that lists, for each airline, what their safety status is: are they economizing on safety features? Is their training up to date? And then basically extort them into providing the information, i.e. clearly mark airlines unwilling to participate as "UNSAFE".
Basically, the goal would be to make safety a fundamental competitive feature, rather than merely a cost center.
Once you made it to the nearest black hole you can of course launch yourself in any direction, but if you ever want to change course you'll need to end up near another black hole. So this mode of transport basically involves aiming at a black hole over a distance of many, many light years, and then launching yourself almost directly at it. Don't forget to use your turn signal;-)
Having said that, I'm in awe at the creativity that went into this.
Two programming articles in a row? How in the world am I to satisfy my deep inner thirst for bleeding-edge news about global warming, basic income, the Model 3, and Ajit Pai?
Thank you for your succinct summary of why I should really stop wasting my time here.
But it is their problem to give them money, then? Why do you draw the line at exactly that point?
Either people are responsible for themselves, and they get no money or anything else. Or others are responsible for their well-being, in which case it is eminently reasonable to also demand these people take care of themselves.
Asking for money but being unwilling to do the least thing in return is extremely unreasonable. The people donating the money are not their slaves.
it's just as annoying as the author, who uses phrases like "deploying language".
The author uses that phrase because to him, language is a weapon to be deployed. Like any good socialist he wants to control the words you are allowed to speak and the thoughts you are allowed to think. It's kinda the whole point of political correctness: forbidding access to certain words because those would harm the socialist cause.
I mean, why not just take the entire top-level domain down if there is an infringing page somewhere? Since we are going for the disproportional response, we might as well take it all the way...
Actually the UK is being shut out because _the UK_ demanded that non-EU nations would not have access, back when Galileo was being set up. In other words, it is the UK's own bloody fault for making that demand in the first place.
We could have protocols for doing facebook-like stuff, like sharing walls and groups and... whatever else is on facebook. We could have an open source reference implementation. It could all be decentralized, and made available by ISPs in the same way they make email available (that basically means teenagers won't have to compile a kernel so they can install Linux on a raspberry pi just to share cat pictures). Such a network wouldn't have a single, ruling company - it would all be decentralized.
I don't see why everybody else needs to give up their sleep just so the super rich can be somewhere a few hours early. For society as a whole, that is actually a really bad trade off.
By footprint, the flower auction in Aalsmeer is quite a bit larger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aalsmeer_Flower_Auction)
I worked there for a while, many years ago. We got around on bicycles; customers on the far end of the building were half an hour from our office (which lay on one of the corners). There were very few signs around the building, so you had to know where you were going. Having said that, various areas had a different feel to them - in that sense it was like a city. Travelling by bike was fairly dangerous, as you shared the 'roads' with the electrical 'trains' that carry the flowers to and from.
Work starts at six in the morning, and finishes at around two in the afternoon. There is a visitor gallery, running above the floor where the actual work happens. It's worth a visit - but do come in the morning, as it is mostly deserted in the afternoon.
My overal experience of airports is waiting, waiting, waiting. Are there really people with such great timing skills that they manage to show up at the gate exactly at the moment when boarding starts?
At my local airport (Amsterdam, the 11th largest in the world), on a quiet day it takes half an hour from the station to the gate. And on a busy day you'd better have the full three hours, or you might not make your flight...
I'm not buying a new phone until I can get one that has at least 46 camera's, no physical buttons, no connectors, a screen that flows over onto the entire backside of the phone, is half a millimeter thin, and runs about two hours on a charge. It would be the ultimate in phone technology, the ideal every manufacturer strives for!
Doesn't this describe the relation between humans and its favored species (chickens, pigs, cows, etc.)? Those species thrive in vast numbers, as do the humans that feed on them, at the cost of everything else. The simulations seem to be spot on in that sense.
No innocent until proven guilty, no jury of equals, no rule of law, only mob justice. And that's supposed to hold the moral high ground? Why don't they just walk to his house and lynch him, if it's so bad...
It isn't even cheaper, is it? The overtime has to be paid (or at least, I sincerely hope so), and it is both more expensive and less productive than normal hours, so the cost to the company is larger compared to just delaying the deadline by a few months.
It's basically a complete fail on the part of management that crunch time is even necessary, and I'm glad I'm not in that industry.

The test is "do people work less?" and even on this very limited test, the answer is no.
How can they work less, given they were unemployed to begin with?
Ah, the "no true Scottsman" fallacy.

Especially if you are already big yourself and don't want to face any competition.

the US National Institute of Standards and Technology has a kilogram and a meter
Well, isn't it about time to start using them then?
We know its current course and speed, so if you extrapolate into the distant past, does it cross the orbit of any nearby star?
I was talking about the engineers organizing a walkout. You know, the subject of the article.
No innocent until proven guilty, no jury of equals, no rule of law, only mob justice. And that's supposed to hold the moral high ground? Why don't they just walk to his house and lynch him, if it's so bad...
If I could get one ring that I could "load up" with all my various identifications, that'd be great.
One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. That'd be great.
