If that's all it takes then maybe the police should conceal their weapons too. Why stop at that, get the military to conceal their weapons! See how utterly fucking stupid this crap is the second you try to actually apply it?
This stupid flimsy excuse to try to act like someone out of a movie is a gross insult to intelligence.
Hence needing above average intelligence to wonder about it at all. Do the cops conceal their weapons? Obviously not, because they want to actually deter crime instead of play secret agent or whatever fantasy is being excused by the hide the barrel losers.
Concealed carry means you don't know whether people have guns or not
Hence it relies on criminals having above average intelligence and actually think about guns they can't see probably being there. I doubt it actually deters crime, it's only a weak and counterintuitive excuse for people who want to carry concealed guns.
If it was really about deterring crime it would be open carry. Police don't hide their guns, they wear them openly as a sign that they will use them if they have to - that deters people from doing things that will get them shot.
The notion that manufacturing in the US has disappeared is demonstrably not true
Yes your imaginary strawman that says extreme stuff is wrong in every way but I am not that person. I only wrote what I wrote and not the words from your imagination.
The examples appeared to be about letting things slide instead of dealing with expensive logistical issues the way we used to do and the way the Chinese are now doing. They are copying Henry Ford and not Edsel Ford.
So you guys are ashamed of your guns or something? The whole "concealed carry prevents crime" idea relies on criminals having above average intelligence and thinking ahead. It's only if the thing is there to be seen that the "deterrent" idea is anything other than a poor excuse.
You probably don't even need calculus at all to get the formal gist of many things
Only by learning via rote and parroting a list of rules. You need calculus to even work out what is going on with displacement, velocity and acceleration. Extremely easy calculus that makes more sense than looking at things any other way, but it's still calculus.
To start with it's a lot easier than the physics it's used to explain. What is so hard to understand about the area under a curve of a graph?
Yet I don't think anyone is really going to learn anything from it. All the people who don't think computers are some sort of mysterious magic already know it's a stupid idea to put a printer on the internet.
That's right - no politics AT ALL in the way and robots have come a long way since 1990. But not ready yet due to a lack of available magic to match magical thinking.
Your "just remove the politics and it's easy" style mindset is a broken way to look at the world and I pity you for whatever political bullshit you have been subjected to that left you damaged in such a way. Please avoid spreading that damage.
Personally I think SCO was not run by idiots but by a pair of serial con-artists. The lawyer who got most of the SCO money is Darl's brother. It wasn't Darl's first run at extracting vast amounts of cash via lawyer from the place he was supposed to be running.
So are you going to be forced to give up your guns at 45? Obviously not. All this bleating about the second amendment is pointless. You have the right because there is nothing to take it away and it has nothing at all to do with the second amendment.
Sending things all over the landscape when the Chinese can send it down the street and their management is actually aware of what their core business is. I used to work in manufacturing but then the assembly moved to where the suppliers were concentrated and vice-versa.
You apparently think people with MBA degrees are some sort of boogie man
Ones with nothing else but that and nepotism behind them may as well be.
Charles Stross has a bit about this on his blog. He suspects that Apple is moving into the electronic funds transfer sector a bit more than they already are and that if there was a publicly known backdoor that would screw over trust issues enough to mess up potential future business. He phrases it as the FBI wanting a backdoor into what will effectively be an ATM machine network. Not a good look for the vendor of such a thing.
In around 2000 there were people buying fuel at the pump in one country via their phones but the banks got in the way of that being a viable payment method in general. Now Apple probably have the ability to do to the banks what they did to the music companies and actually implement the old electronic wallet idea. I'm not saying it's necessarily a good thing or a bad thing, just that it looks like Apple is heading in that direction and the FBI having a backdoor into it would be a danger to such a system.
NK is a crazy homeless guy with a sign "will threaten for food". So it is effective. Batshit insane but it gets the job done when they have deliberately destroyed most of their agriculture and want to keep threatening instead of rebuilding.
They all have propellant or they end up slowly descending. There's not a lot of air up there but there are enough molecules of gas impacting stuff in orbit to produce drag so if you want something to stay up for years it needs to be able to come back up to speed every now and again. Also the earth is not a perfect sphere so local gravitational effects drag things out of their desired orbits. It's not just a problem on inclined orbits, apparently things in geostationary orbit will tend to drift towards a spot over Indonesia if they are not corrected (at that altitude drag is almost non-existent compared with where the ISS is so the propellant is more about keeping position than altitude).
Many things in this describe why China is eating our lunch. They are running things in manufacturing the way we used to before trust fund babies and MBAs added arbitrary busywork and office politics but lost sight of the supply chain.
I don't think the gauge is as big a deal as people are making out.
It apparently is when cornering at speed with rolling stock and locomotives designed for a very different gauge. Near where I live there used to be a large railway workshop that modified things to run on the local gauge and it was apparently quite a bit of work and the maximum safe speeds were still reduced.
A century ago some trains were going at 100mph and now there are only a few places around the world where that or more is even possible.
The Boeing 747 was flying commercial flights from early 1970 so they were contemporary but it's still a strange comparison between an aircraft and normal speed electric train. The choice to have a unique low production volume train with a non-standard gauge (deliberate anti-competitive move) would have a bit of an impact on maintenence - but it's a 45 year old design FFS so it's likely well beyond expected life. If I can be cheeky enough to compare it to that 747, there are so many of the things (even though the design has changed a lot from the 1970 design) that there is a large enough market for spare parts to ensure that it is to the benefit of the manufacturer to continue producing the parts. With a rare train running on a non-standard track that isn't the case. Old and rare - not a cheap situation to be in.
Back in the 1970s they were not alarmists so they didn't think San Francisco would end up so badly run that the transit system would not be upgraded for 45 years or more, so it wasn't designed to last for that long. It's quite pathetic that people are complaining about it needing some work now.

It wasn't the only thing that changed.
Thailand, Israel, Taiwan, Germany but I don't think I've seen a US made microprocessor for more than a decade.

Yes that's a far better example than the one from 2000 (Spain? Italy?) that I remember hearing about at the time.
"Some trains" and "few places" does not disagree with more than before.
The comment was about it being uncommon and in only a "few places".

"ATM machine network" should be read as "Automatic Teller Machine network".

It is falling, gravity is what makes things orbit. It's not a one dimensional system - the impact has made it fall in a different way to earlier.
Yes. There's a lot of that happening. It can't be looked at as a one dimensional system of circular orbits.
They all have propellant or they end up slowly descending. There's not a lot of air up there but there are enough molecules of gas impacting stuff in orbit to produce drag so if you want something to stay up for years it needs to be able to come back up to speed every now and again.
