While I think Trump would make an awful president, I don't think he lacks intelligence. He is able to articulate an opinion that resonates with a significant part of the population and gets them to vote on emotion rather than intellect. Obama did the same with his message of hope, change, and transparency, and voters mindlessly ate it up, he was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize before he was in office and won it without any accomplishments. Emotion can cloud even smart people's judgement. You need a majority of the population to get elected, half the people are dumber then the average person, and the average person is not too bright. To appeal to the dumb masses you need to do it based on emotion as they don't care to hear about some boring plan to fix something, they want to have a tingle run up their leg when their candidate speaks, not fall asleep when their candidate talks about tax reform.
I was quoting the article but with my changes. Here is the original quote.
We are doing a disservice to kids by assuming that they canâ(TM)t grasp industry-standard languages, complex computer science topics, and applications. By limiting them, we undermine their capabilities and stifle their creative and inventive potential.
Just substitute programming buzzwords for college math courses and the insanity sticks out like sore thumb.
We are doing a disservice to kids by assuming that they can't grasp Differential Equations, Calculus, and Linear and Nonlinear Optimization. By limiting them, we undermine their capabilities and stifle their creative and inventive potential.
obscene profits? I'm guessing you don't know what profit margin is. The average profit margin for fast food franchises is around 10% the average profit is only 65k a year, once you figure in the up front costs of over $750k a fast food franchise is an average investment. A $5/hour minimum wage increase will easily evaporate any profit.
You do know it's against the law in most states to stop your car on the highway except to avoid an accident or when required to do so by a police officer. If someone runs into you while you are stopped on the highway the person stopped will be liable for the accident. I just hope for the sake of humanity you are trolling and are not really that dense.
I swear there was an Arthur C. Clark book about this. Basically a computer theorized that in order to stop man from fighting over scarce resources the population had to be controlled, the computer decided that causing natural disasters was the best way to do this since it could not control reproductive rates.
The part that annoys me is that fossil fuel subsidies are a tiny part of their income. $72 billion in subsidies sounds like a lot until you realize that the US fossil fuel revenue is about $3 trillion, making the subsidies less then 3% of revenue. There are very few companies that have lower tax break deduction rates. I doubt musk would want his tax breaks set to such a low level.
It won't matter if good encryption is outlawed everywhere but Switzerland, you won't be able to send or receive your encrypted data without it being at risk or break the law.
This is the trifecta of bad/. submissions, the title contradicts the summary and/or article, a least one link in the summary is to a click bait site, and the summary has factual errors.
Raising children costs money approximately 15k a year, why would I sacrifice 15k of my hard earned money on some random child. Then there is the physiological damage done to a kid because his dad has so little respect for the mother and child he couldn't bother raising the child. The one supposed benefit is that the child might be easier to raise because they are not the same as me. I suspect you don't have any children of your own or are in a committed relationship and can't understand the ramifications of all of this.
Orbital stability is determined by deviation from initial orbit, an increasing or decreasing orbit radius can not satisfy that requirement. It's not what I think is orbital stability is it's how orbital stability is defined.
Reddit is a private entity and has no obligation to maintain anyone's freedom of expression.
Nobody is making the argument that private companies have a legal obligation to maintain everyone's freedom of expression. They are simply making the argument that it's bad practice for a forum built on public discussing to start limiting the public's ability to discuss. This falls into the "just because you have the right to do something doesn't make it right" category.
Once something has a stable orbit it tends to stay in that orbit
There is no such thing as a stable orbit, orbiting bodies are either moving towards or away from the object they are orbiting. In order to have a stable orbit the gravitational force and all other forces on the orbiting body would have to exactly cancel out. This is why GPS satellites broadcast their corrected position which they get from ground stations, they can get close to a stable orbit but can not perfectly achieve it.
There's an abundance of research showing that strong electric and magnetic fields can be hazardous.
No there isn't.
OSHA Links to Dangers of RF radiation
High powered consumer microwave ovens output about 1kW the charging device uses 20kW. There is serious risk of getting an RF burn from this thing.
All they can tell a farmer is that there is a 25% chance that somewhere in the eastern or midwestern US will experience a temperature increase of 11.7 degrees over the average temperature in the next 50 days. This is a slight increase over guessing which yields a 17% success rate.

If the bad guys control N-1 RNG's how long would it take before they could predict the the Nth's RNG output? Is there anyway to protect from this?

Stopped car on the highway! Seems pretty dangerous to me.
Doing 20 in a 60 is more dangerous then doing 80 in a 60. The delta between drivers is what makes it dangerous.
What power source would you suggest using that has no dangerous environmental waste?

The issue is not the bias, the issue is refusing to acknowledge your bias. Don't tell me you are selling me a Porsche when it's really a VW bug.
The subsidies oil/gas get amount to less then 3% of their total revenue, the amount they get just looks large because the industry is so large.

I just wonder if they have enough politicians in their pocket now that they can get all antitrust claims waived.

The cost to raise a child up to age 18 is $245k or 300k if it's adjusted for projected inflation. That's right at 15k a year.

The earth is not in a stable orbit it is moving away from the sun at 15cm a year. Do you consider a spiral a stable orbit?
