CEOs who are more profitable work in the EU and Japan and China for about 1/100th what US CEOs do.
Quod erat demonstratum.
Yes, they're overpaid.
I've owned direct and indirect shares in many foreign corporations and in other countries the owners - shareholders - get to vote on the pay and compensation of top executives. Here, in Kommunist Amerika, they don't get to do that.
there are on average less and less microbreweries and corner liquor stores.
Except that there are MORE microbreweries than a decade ago. But don't let reality get in the way...
True, but most of those are in neighborhoods like mine in Fremont (Seattle) which is chock full of small distilleriies, brewers, chocolatiers, and so on.
remember, this is Gartner we're talking about, the guys who predicted the growth of desktop computers when they didn't and who failed to understand that markets will shift in ways not yet realized.
That said, so long as the capital/labor split deviates from the historical mean of 50/50 to its current Rich/Poor divide of 90/10, you will always have social unrest, including large-scale looting of mansions.
Today in Biology: "News reports indicate that giant salt jellyfish have been found wandering in the deserts of Utah, playing mean games on the local salt-adapted flora and fauna".
It is a sad sad day when one of the three giant NSA centers is down, due to somebody forgetting to do checksums on the loaded programs in their power systems.
Goddammit Affleck. First off, I hate all of your shitty movies. Phantoms was NOT the bomb yo, and I was relentlessly hoping you'd be blown out of an air lock in Armageddon. And has anyone seen fucking Reindeer Games? Holy Christ on a cracker, what a terrible movie. I could go for days about how shitty of an actor you are but the thing is Affleck---- YOU AREN'T A FUCKING ACTOR. This post has as much to do with you being a real actor as the strawman you threw up suggesting the AC said any fucking thing at all about making an Aryan nation. It is like you reverse Godwin'd the argument. When did you stop butt fucking Matt Damon nightly? That's a loaded question, identical in style to yours and just as fucking useless. DIAF.
And yeah guys, I know I'm feeding a troll but I wore out my mod points on the Tesla fire article.
ACs don't have mod points.
You do realize there are a lot of us, saying bad things about my second cousin won't hurt my feelings.
It's more who is reviewing the material, and to what level, that matters.
A lot of high-grade peer reviewed journals, like Science and Nature, have been hoodwinked by researchers from South Korea and China, where cheating is more endemic than here.
Or, as most of us say, Wait Until The Second Journal Article.
It's funny seeing this headline less than 1.5 hours after the "Former Microsoft Privacy Chief Doesn't Trust Company, Uses Open Source Software" story was posted.

All your money is belong to East German Stasi

I think that's a bunch of FUD.
Fear is the minecraft killer

Conditions vary.
CEO pay is also subject to market forces.
Riiiight.
I'll tell that to Ballmer who got $800 MILLION for FAILING.
Heck I just wish Congress could come up with a one year plan to pay the Federal Government's bills....
Hey, it's only costing us $1.6 BILLION a DAY in US GDP ...

Did they check for jellyfish in the intakes?

Sad sad sad.
Yes, I said three.
scrubland biomass is frequently not a wise choice. Solar is currently cheaper than oil, and cheaper than wind, and rapidly becoming as cheap as coal.
Adapt. Because if you don't you'll get left in the dust.
Solar energy is currently cheaper than oil.
Just in case you wondered.
And it's rapidly becoming cheaper than wind, and almost as cheap as coal.
I like their design this year.
The fun part has been that many of the people involved have also been working on new technology for patents in solar, biofilm, energy storage.
Heck, we're so hot here we light Teslas on fire - because we can!
come on Seattle!

The SSHDs are useful, but we tend to combine them on our multicore machines.
Different stripes for different tykes.
But hey, for a few seconds there, 90 plus percent of America was going "I hope they succeeded".
You do realize that blue eyed blonds have two recessive traits, correct?
I too claim prior art.
And, yes, I do work in genetics.
We have the world's largest jellyfish here in Puget Sound.
Remember, jellyfish are smarter than Congress. Not that that's hard to do.
Biomedical engineers are shut down at the Army Base near Seattle.
They just make sure the medical instruments are safe.
I think they're more essential, but that's just my view.
And the correct term is Commander in Chief, you REMF.
Where is my Panda Cam?
Now that's an essential service ...
I think the wrong part of Government shut down.
The part that should have shut down is the House.

Which party should I trust?
Trust the Computer, Citizen!
(yes, it's a game reference)
Seriously, how can anything be secure when there's nobody securing it?
Scottish.
If you were a Scot, you'd refer to yourself as a Scot, a group of Scots as Scots, and describe a group of Scots as Scottish.
Scotch is a drink, made with peat based on how drink barrels used to be sealed.
