...there are actually no well paying work-from-home jobs that you can get in 2-3 months. If it can be done from home, it can be done from India as well.
- Unless being local is either necessary or preferred.
I would start with things I like to do and see if others are interested. Crafts, programming for kids, educational crafts, helping others with assembling technical home improvement projects, building water barrels,..
Parents might pay for something that is in between a daycare and technical home-schooling - especially if the class meets Saturday night occasionally.
Or at least make the speed limit dependent on safety risks the car poses to occupants and to others.
A slow moving SUV with a rounded hood that hits a pedestrian will result in a broken arm or leg, the same SUV with a "cow bar" will kill the pedestrian. A heavy car will have enough impulse to seriously injure people in a lighter car, even if the lighter car could have (relatively) safely hit a wall at the same speed. And yes, a light car might pose a risk at high speeds and high wind conditions.
Speed limit, insurance, tax, would all be possible options. Commercial drivers usually have fewer problems with following safety rules than people who just want bigger things but not take responsibility. Driving truck speed on some routes and a few miles slower in a residential neighborhood would not be a big deal.
I agree that companies should look out for their employees but for issues as evenly split between left and right as this one, I wonder if they will deter as many potential employees as entice new ones.
Evenly split? You assume that educated straight males are as homophobic as uneducated straight males. And if MS can deter the latter, all the better for their HR department.
Yes, one should say explains not excuses. And even then, I agree: it is not just an age thing. Some even argue that adulthood at least for college students starts later today and many 20+ still show adolescent behavior. On average of course, individuals differ. My point was simply: in someone young it is understandable, and could still change. But I share your experience: One can talk to some 16yos and get a sense of mindfulness that is missing in much older individuals. And the 20yo old asshole might still be one at age 30 or 40. Instead of making jokes about dead kids on the Internet, he just figured out socially acceptable ways of being an asshole.
Lack of empathy is a clear social dysfunction and the only excuse is adolescence.
I would not ridicule a 16yo for not understanding how others might feel or how things are for someone else. If you are still busy finding your own identity it is difficult to feel for others. But if you're 20+ and still posting things like the above comments, you are on the way of becoming a pathetic loser.
Sure, its nice if you can do the job of your people, so you can have a deeper understanding of what is going on,..
That's why I in principle like the announcement. Even if it turns out just to be a publicity stunt, it at least shows that Bloomberg thinks that learning something different would be good - or at least thinks, that his voters think that..
According to BBC, the reaction of the London mayor was that he's too busy for things like that. - Now, that shows a politican that needs to get rebooted. If politicians would do a couple things below their pay scale or volunteer for longer than a photo opportunity they might actually get a clue. I'd rather have a mayor "wasting" a few hours a week on his/her education (in a broader sense) and pay for another aide than being stuck with a clueless person who wastes millions.
True terrorism is a criminal act that terrorizes beyond the actual incident. In my opinion, these things should also be added to that list:
High school mobbing.
Tail gating drivers.
The NY Yankees.
Clowns.
Mandrake has a tradition of problems, basically since they were Mandrake. Back then, they used to be the more desktop friendly redhat. Being French, they had good i18n support before redhat did, switched to utf early one, provided international packages, and also multimedia. But at that time their community was registered users only, if you didn't have the current version purchased: no soup for you.
Mandrake was always reluctant to share documentation. As a result, they cut themselves off from the larger community. Good innovations like a metapackager, that got users out of rpm-dependency hell long before redhat moved in that direction, or also mandrakes system of setting security level never made it back to a wider audience.
Most certainly. Only question is: why doesn't the government want us to know that the aliens invited us for to the transgalactic wejtkball game? - or that beginning at position 10^20 of pi there is an encrypted picture of Jodi Foster?
If politics makes no sense from the outside and actually harms the country on an international level the reason is probably interior.
There is an on-going power struggle between the government, the revolutionary council, and the judiciary. - And probably between the revolutionary guard and the regular army leadership. Second, emphasizing an outside enemy or even a we-against-the-rest-of-the-world attitude helps to keep an unruly population at bay (United we stand). And as for technology: most engineering and technology funding happens through the military or has to be justified in terms of how it helps the revolution. Any technology investment will make Iran more independent and protect it from the outside world - because that's what was in the grant proposal. Any new weapons system will outperform comparable systems - because that is the desired result. Think of the SDI missile tests, just more extreme - more like the German engineers in WWII. Half of the technology will be amazing. Amazing, because it is engineering ingenuity given the circumstances. The other half will be some junk in a repainted box.
Now: the Iranian intranet, where does it fit in? Certainly an attempt to cut of information while trying to keep technological and economical progress (China+). Maybe also an internal funding strategy. Most likely also a conflict of control between various government branches.
They might be libertarian or liberal or easy-going or whatever in areas they have no expertise in, but for sure unbearable technocrats (u) in areas where they feel they're experts (x) and that their opinion is more accurate (a) than that of the general public and that the solution to the problem will be a technological one (t) not a political one based on consensus.
This will be even more so the case with engineers, that are complete gits (g) who equivocate technologically possible and desirable.

If Gingrich was anything close to a "visionary", he'd be talking space elevator, not moon bases.
Blasphemy! Space elevators are to rockets as public transportation is to SUVs.
You are clearly an Amehrika hating socialist.
I would chip in a few bucks to send Gingrich to the moon.
Say what you will, I like his idea.
He surely knows how to go for the geek vote: I now like him twice as much as I liked him last week.

Who knows what other works he could have completed had he not drank himself to death.
For sure, it would have been more cheerful.

Adolescence excuses NOTHING.

Frankly I don't know what's inside my walls, and I'm not sure I want to know.
Asbestos, lead, dead mice, and razor blades. (Old bath room cabinets used have a little slot to dispose of razor blades.)
While I don't necessarily disagree with your premise; could I interest you in one of my new security enhanced tinfoil hats?
Don't be silly. We all know you can't trust a tinfoil hat unless you folded it yourself from source.
you're really upset at being downmod for a two word post?

And, let me guess, you live in an area that gets little to no snow, and does not have rugged mountains.
You should vacation in Austria sometime.
>>Something smells fishy to me.
I agree. A coverup must be in the works.
Most certainly. Only question is: why doesn't the government want us to know that the aliens invited us for to the transgalactic wejtkball game? - or that beginning at position 10^20 of pi there is an encrypted picture of Jodi Foster?
Its possible to put a telescope at the south spin pole because of the base there.
The base where earth rests or the bearing for the axle?
