Hot Rod magazine has been mocking Ferrari for decades now (e.g. proving the Pontiac GTO was faster than the Ferrari GTO, around Monza. etc etc). They fixed the Enzo that what's his name (comic) 'totaled' and reported on the costs.
Price of a red anodized aluminum washer used to retain the headlight on an Enzo? $5000. They have created a new definition for Chutzpah.
The 'labia' (cleft in the lips just under your nose, not 'meat flaps') doesn't form. You can have some sympathy, while not putting them in positions where they can cause too much damage.
Sure, however people who repeat claims that have been disproven by tests in large populations (mercury preservatives in vaccines) are in _fact_ idiots.
About the same here. Like I say, kids need a decent understanding of basic math before electronics are in reach. Which isn't to say they aren't learning technical things earlier, but those things are more concrete and intuitive.
I would have killed to have 'mindstorm' like stuff available. But I would have been even more dangerous.
Pawn wars are not the larger conflict. Sucks when you're nation gets sacrificed but doesn't change the outcome.
Vietnam is now a capitalist export economy. S Korea is strong enough our military has been in the DMZ to keep the south from going north for 20+ years.
China needs to survive their bubbles (stock and real estate) popping without a revolution. It's going to be ugly.
S. Korea had a building boom (like China) in the 80s and 90s. Then a superstore collapsed killing 600 people. When they reinspected the new highrise buildings 1 in 5 needed to be torn down, 4 in 5 needed to be extensively repaired. Only 1 in 50 was good (not significant at fifths). Do you think China is better or worse now?
The Yuan is broken, China has been 'managing' exchange rates to maintain 100% industrial utilization for two decades now. Such a simple metric has been gamed beyond all reason and they are now FUBAR. 'Perverse economic incentives' isn't just a good porn movie title, it's a real thing. There is a reason Chinese citizens are using Bitcoin to get their money out of China and it isn't because everything their is rosey.
Who will Oracle marketing payoff to get their robots into your house? You don't understand how Oracle get's their hooks into businesses. Will your wife fill the house with Oracle products than divorce you and take a no show job at Oracle for 5-10x previous salary? Oracle's business model won't work for consumer products.
As an engineer (with engineering degrees), I've been in offices with doors or working from home for decades now. Legal secretaries/paralegals usually have four year degrees and specialized legal education. But they aren't making many important decisions that aren't reviewed.
I've found the biggest difference is working someplace that builds and sells products, so engineering is closely tied to a revenue source, like lawyers are in law firms, not pure overhead, like a janitor.
Paid dues in the cube farm sure, but so do Jr Associate shysters (and how, especially with the current lawyer glut).
Scandinavia has been mercury free for decades now. No change in autism rates compared to the rest of the world. Whatever it is, it isn't the mercury in vaccines.
How common were high tech electronic toys when you were a kid?
'Early' for tech subjects is middle school. A 100 in 1 kit wouldn't have been very comprehensible before you had arithmetic down. Even with arithmetic, kids are 'faking it' until they get real math. But TTL was fun for me in middle school. Like a puzzle. Keeps you interested until analog is in reach.
Before that it was physical things being 'hacked on'. Making 1 bike/mower out of 3 broken ones, homemade black powder and firecrackers, building go-carts etc.
Today's electronic toys are too sophisticated from the POV of education. No middle schooler is going to just 'get' ASICs or FPGAs.

'Edge case' will be anything except divided highways in clear weather.
Much better than the Italians.

If a 'brake check' bothers you, you are tailgating.
He's applying for a job as /. editor.
In america, all they need is a education degree. Not a real one.
Schools of education uniformly have the lowest average student SAT scores, and uniformly have near 4.0 GPAs from the same bunch of clowns.
Fetal alcohol syndrome has visible signs.

Tell it to the judge that disbarred him for lying about the harassment.
Legal proof is _done_, yet Hillary and many others still defend him.
Do you realize how complicated a mechanical kernel is? Even 1MHz is hard to get out of an escarpment.
I don't understand why the Swiss think they have any sort of lead on this tech? They build jewelry that keeps decent time.

Shipping costs are trivial, but increased lead times are not. To say nothing of 2nd shift 'unlicensed production'.
If and when they castrate the 2nd ammendment, their will be a 'million gun march' on DC. It's already been planned and will happen.
Fortunately Hillary didn't win, we're safe for decades.

We do need to control our borders/immigration like Canada does. But that would make us fascists...
Bust into my house and then tell me my dog doesn't have a job, from the ER.
Even the cats work, though they enjoy verminating.

Just blitheringly wrong. Humans outperform robots every fucking day at any task that isn't completely repetitive.
Fast food robots are not Bender, they are fryer baskets that pull themselves out of the oil on a timer, dishwashers and conveyor ovens/grills.

_Proven_ a non-issue.
Scandinavia has been mercury free for decades now. No change in autism rates compared to the rest of the world. Whatever it is, it isn't the mercury in vaccines.
But they were quaint.
Assembled in China out of parts from all over the world.
Techs get luxurious workspaces compared to most accountants and the like.
It's not like cubefarms aren't everywhere. Senior associates get offices. Paralegals, cubes. Legal secretaries, cubes.
Changing industries somewhat regularly keeps it from becoming too boring. Coding has always been the easy part anyhow.
