  1. Re:College education ? on Millennials Earn 20 Percent Less Than Boomers Did At Same Stage of Life (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Unless you're over 120 years old, your education wasn't THAT well-rounded. Classical college education didn't even have *majors*.

    So quit yer braggin'!

  2. That's because Boomers are evil on Millennials Earn 20 Percent Less Than Boomers Did At Same Stage of Life (usatoday.com) · · Score: 0

    An coherent post with a reasonable, logical argument??

    You do realize you posted this on /. right?

    Yes, good old balloons make much more sense if you just need to get up high and stay there. The whole "solar drones" thing reeks of a hype project combining two trendy technologies that are way inferior to a non-trendy, old-fashioned solution.

  8. Re:Please tell me this is a joke on US Military Seeks Biodegradable Bullets That Sprout Plants (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    It's difficult enough to build consistently reliable and durable ammo and weapons out of high quality metals.

    Scrapyards are full of failed attempts to build better weapons by companies who wasted taxpayer money producing weapons with all the wrong design goals. And military graveyards are full of soldiers who got stuck with some of those shitty weapons before the top brass realized what an awful design they were.

    You don't just throw taxpayer money at any type of needless research just because it's trendy.

    Because it way, way more likely to produce bullets that jam guns or don't fire at all than to help the environment in any significant way.

  11. Re:Valuable lesson for next over-hyped female CEO on The End of Yahoo: Marissa Mayer To Resign; Yahoo To Change Its Name To Altaba (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not the hiring that's the problem so much as the insane over-hype that accompanies the hiring. Elizabeth Homes was getting gushing cover stories in major publications before she had even proven that Theranos's technology even worked.

  13. Valuable lesson for next over-hyped female CEO on The End of Yahoo: Marissa Mayer To Resign; Yahoo To Change Its Name To Altaba (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Just because your an SJW and you WANT some woman or minority to be the savior who proves that a female or minority can be just as good as any man, doesn't mean that you should automatically jump on the hype train just because they have dark skin or a vagina.

    But you won't learn, will you? The next Carly Fiorina, Ellen Pao, Marissa Myer, or Elizabeth Holmes is just around the corner, and you're going to taut them as the GREATEST CEO EVAR, aren't you?

    And that's a shame too, because the legitimately good female CEO's out there will ultimately suffer for all the over-hype of the shitty ones.
