Exactly. My son has two friends that are being held as political prisoners in Illinois under the guise of "protect the children". The State of Illinois doesn't even dispute that the children's home in California with their father who has full legal custody of the children is a safe, happy, and healthy home. Nope. Instead, they issue full custody to Mom during a visit by the children, and when violence breaks out in the home, the solution isn't to return the children to California where they are safe and happy. It is to arrest the children without pressing any charges, drug them and torture them. (Yes, repeatedly 'taking blood samples' of a 9 year old child until he agrees to stop saying he wants to go home is torture) The State of Illinois' child protection agency keeps getting checks to hold the kids though.
It is an unfortunate reality that many parents now have to teach their children that it isn't the 'bad guys' that they have to worry about. It is the 'good guys' that will do them harm.
Say you now have a Netflix app that will in the background download what it expects you to watch. Then if you want to watch it it is available even if it is offline.
Very likely. Some of the streaming music services already do this. Google Play Music and MOG are two I am familiar with.
Have you tried using a tablet as a keyboard for touch typing? You may be the exception, but for most people it pretty well sucks. The little nubs on the F and J keys, the indentations of all the keys themselves, the fell of the edge of the key letting you know how far off dead center your click is, and the feel of the space bar under your thumbs are all generally use as non-visual cues to let you know exactly where on the keyboard your hands are placed.
I assume that I am not alone in the fact that I could be blind folded, sat at a desk, and then proceed to type with a very high accuracy rate.
By the way, This sounds like what you are looking for.
The sad thing is that touch screens are actually a really good idea, and should have made it into general computing years ago. Unfortunatly, the way the get implemented is to try and replace a mouse, or worse yet a keyboard. Trying to replace a mouse with a touch screen makes about as much sense as trying to replace a keyboard with a mouse. Touch screens are a third input device. Not a replacement for the current two.
discrimination against someone based on the fact that someone of their race, but not directly related to them, once discriminated against someone of my race, who was also not directly related to me
That would be "discrimination", since there is no discrimination that doesn't fit that definition.
If she was qualified, and no other American was qualified, then any amount she asked for was the 'Market Rate'. The requirement to pay H1Bs 'Market Rate' is in direct conflict with the requirement that no qualified American workers exist.
Since the entire emulator is written in JavaScript to run in a browser, and using that tool, you can write and self compile the Linux kernel, by your definition Linux kernel developers are not "programming". Literally, any application that can be written can be written to run in a browser using JavaScript. The only question is how hard it would be to write, and how fast it would run.
Obviously, your use of words have no meaning, and you should reconsider how you use them if you want to successfully communicate.
Since the premise of the H1B is that no one in the US is qualified to do the job being hired for, the solution is that the H1B program should be revamped to require a US worker be hired to shadow the H1B at equal pay and a requirement that they do not produce any usable work from the shadowing. This way, the cost advantage of H1B goes down the toilet and local workers get a job either way. This should severely curtail the illegitimate use of H1Bs.
For the situations where the H1B is legitimate, there are two points of view that must be considered. The employer and the country. For the employer, they should expect to pay through the nose if they have a job that requires skills so unique that there isn't a single person in a first world country of over 300 million that can fit the bill. If the person did exist, and the company didn't violate the law with an H1B, they would likely be paying as much as they do for the double salary anyway. Plus they are training a backup in case the H1B doesn't last for any reason.
From a countries perspective... If there is a job that is necessary in our country, and there isn't a single person in the entire USA that can do the job, then we absolutely need to train people in this. Thus, from a national perspective, the local hire becomes part of maintaining our national security, just as much as making sure we have viable farm land is maintaining our national security.
Require them hire a US worker to shadow the position at an equal salary as a "training program". This way, unless the H1B is less than half the price of a qualified local, the financial incentive would be to just hire the local. If there truly are no qualified locals, you are no creating them.
No. No it's not. The great food experiment that has been foisted on the public over the last 30 or 40 years has shown that the current recommended diet is horrible for people's health. The Medical industry is just stuck with the tautology that it is good, so the keep recommending that when it doesn't work, you have to double down on the high sugar (carbohydrate)/low protein/low animal fat diet.
If you were not so abstracted from your food and forget that it used to be a living thing, you would recognize that pretty much the only thing you eat that wasn't a living thing is salt. Even this lab grown protein was a living thing.
Not in my county. Around her, the law says that nothing gets done after the first attack other than recording the attack. After the second attack, the animal get registered as a "dangerous animal" and the owner is required to actually keep their dog under control with a kennel. I don't know how many times a dog must attack a human before it gets put down around here, but it is definitely more than twice.
That surge of Apple desktops all the way up to 8%? Apple may make a lot of money off of high margins, but there simply is not "surge" of new Apple users on the desktop.
Don't forget to hire a sooth sayer to vet all of your code, as the foundation of this case is that Fantec did not check what license the code was under. If they had, they wouldn't have been in violation.
There are serious sustainability and scalability issues with the usual livestock.
There is no sustainability problem. The only problem is scalability. Of course, every food source has a scalability problem. It is just a matter of how many people you pack on the planet before population out strips your ability to produce food.
The one time I ate horse, it was awful. Although to be fair, it was a really old horse farm work horse that was put down due to age. I wouldn't mind trying horse again, but I would want one that was slaughtered more in it's prime. My rule of thumb is I will try just about anything that is considered food by some culture on the planet, and isn't likely to kill me.
No, I am exactly the opposite of idealistic. I am pragmatic. I fully understand that some parents don't give a rat's behind about their children. I am also no so idealistic to think that being stuffed into the same classroom is going to save most of those children, turning them into model citizens. The fact is, the majority of those kids are actively being told that school is bad. Most of them are going to be the problem kids in the school that holds back the kids that want to learn. Is it crappy that these kids have been tought by their parents that learning is bad, and that creating a disturbance is good? Of course it is. Is pretending like allowing diruptive kids to ruin well behaved kids education a good idea? Of course not. YOU are very idealistic, and you are not in the minority with that. No one wants to say that 'that kid is doomed' about an 8 year old, but for a lot of these kids, they is the reality of their life.
[Off Topic]
Your point also shows why our child labor laws are bad. When one of those kids you speak of is somewhere between the ages of 13 and 17, they really are often better off being on their own. What does a 15 year old girl do to make money when it is illegal for anyone to hire her and living with her parents really is the worst thing she can do? What does a 15 year old boy do?

Dude, did you miss the last 30 years of computer advancement? Get this, you can fit a computer in your house now.
This is easy enough to fix. A small battery and a circuit that gets configured from the OS to indicate if the memory gets wiped on power loss.

That's right! This villain is responsible for hundreds of years of oppression, and he must be punished for his crimes against humanity!
Seriously. You are a sicko.

I'm not a fan of CAPTCHAs, but your statement makes no more sense that declaring passwords bad because it is the websites problem, not yours.
All contain animal fat which is bad for you,
No. No it's not. The great food experiment that has been foisted on the public over the last 30 or 40 years has shown that the current recommended diet is horrible for people's health.

The thing is that going vegan won't solve the problem. It will only push off the problem for a little while. Then you have even more people starving.
That surge of Apple desktops all the way up to 8%? Apple may make a lot of money off of high margins, but there simply is not "surge" of new Apple users on the desktop.
I would take that one step further, and say that pretty much all tablets and computers are that way now. Even MS products.
