Shouldn't US astronauts similarly carry shark repellant? If they go off course or have a capsule break-up, they could end up in an ocean storm or with a leak.
Maybe it's your company culture or interview techniques or HR filtering for silly reasons. Perhaps you should find a way to get more open advice about your hiring process or work environment.
They seem to be going by visual appearance. There may be loads of DNA changes that affect metabolism chemistry and behavior that wouldn't be detectable by visual inspection of fossils. Looks can be deceiving.
Also in the TFA: "If they were in an environment that did not change but they nevertheless evolved, that would have shown that our understanding of Darwinian evolution was seriously flawed."
It's possible for a chance mutation or set of mutations to "discover" a new feature even in a stable environment. There are probably always better designs in highly remote combinations of mutations.
I don't believe it. HR departments quite often want an exact fit for their org's specific tool stack, regardless of how arbitrary it is, and don't want to train near matches nor wait for a learning curve.
They expect, or at least lobby for, unrealistic instant gratification at generic prices. As a consumer I too want instant customization at a generic price. But, it's not realistic.
Gov't enforced healthcare hasn't hurt Canada's and Germany's economy (among others). And how is more people being healed harming the economy? Healing services are part of the economy also.
If it's because Canada and Germany do "socialized"* healthcare right and we don't, then GOP should push to copy their systems rather than push to rid a healthcare plan altogether.
We need more analysts and problem solvers in DC, not whiners. There's a glut of whiners there.
* It's a bit of a stretch to call it "socialism". It's pretty much mandated insurance, but gives one market-based choice of providers. It was invented by Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank (yes, such things exist, or at least used to).
On the other hand, if you live in Minnesota and you think there are no tech jobs, you are probably right.
I would think it would be the other way around. It's harder to fill positions where the weather is lousy, meaning more openings. H1B's from warm countries don't seem happy about the cold either. (Russian H1B's may not care).
After the Dot-Com crash when I had to accept miscellaneous contracts to survive, the "cold" cities seemed to be more flexible about candidate requirements. A good many people really hate cold weather. (I personally prefer cold over humidity, if forced to choose.)
I think it's cool that using the profile of the star brightness peaks and valleys as various parts of the ring eclipsed the star, one can reconstruct an approximation of what the rings actually look like.
Even though the planet is so very far away, there are various tricks to obtain details. Gravity lenses are another "trick of universe" to magnify distant objects that otherwise would be very obscure or invisible. The down-side is that one cannot really "aim" these tricks, but have to be lucky and/or patient to take advantage of them. The universe likes to tease us.
I have to disagree. He was a shrewd business man. He talked IBM is letting him sell DOS under the MS label. He knew what ideas to swipe and when. He knew what to buy and bundle and how much to charge to wipe out the competition. He knew when and how to sabatoge OS2 with compatibility tricks, and did similar with Netscape. In hindsight it all looks easy, but nobody knew what was around the corner back then. And he had the patience to let Windows mature over time even though the early versions were junk. He was a the master of business timing, striking the competition at strategic junctures. He's the son of two lawyers and a damned good poker player.
The old VW bug in Sleeper is more realistic than I ever thought. Anything with a chip in it may be useless in the future as databases of hacks and back-doors build up over time.
For one, there is nothing magical about IT. IT demand has waxed and waned over the decades, both in general and specialty-specific. "Hot" today is not necessarily hot tomorrow. I lived through IT slumps where employees were treated like crap because the org knew there was a glut.
And IT is often hard on family life with pressing deadlines, long hours, and critical servers or apps breaking at 2am Saturday night.
Women typically end up having to juggle family issues and career issues for various reasons*. Thus, a non-family-friendly career path perhaps is NOT a good thing.
* Often because men are flaky deadbeats and bohemians when it comes to domestic issues. Thus, women are often left holding the bag.
It has the ability to bribe congress, or throw enough lawyers at the problem, to bend the rules no matter what previous legislation or case law says
This is merely one symptom of the bigger problem of our growing plutocracy. The rich get richer by using their size and power to tilt the laws and rulings their way in order to grow even richer such that they can use their size and power to tilt the laws and rulings their way in order to grow even richer such that they can use their size and power to tilt the laws and rulings their way in order to grow even richer such that they can use their size and power to tilt the laws and rulings their way in order to grow even richer such that they can use their size and power to tilt the laws and rulings their way in order to grow even richer such that... you get the idea.
Yes, it is a slippery slope. Inequality has sky-rocketed since about 1980 and the rich are tilting campaign laws and killing unions so that they can do more damage.

Think of it as a really loud abacus.
So the "gun thing" is not really a "Russian thing", as implied; it's simply old-fashioned boy scouting: "Be Prepared".

No, a dyslexic clerk filed them at Area 15.

Thus, the Singularity begins
See if the Apollo 11 tapes are in there also.

Don't get mad, get even. What would left-ish microbes do? Form a union and become a squid? Okay, needs work, but you get the idea...

I suppose there exists real people who find Jabba the Hutt attractive also.
