Food was scarce for the vast majority of our evolution. If you burned too many calories, you died of starvation, or ended up too skinny to be considered a viable mate. Thus, we are wired to hunt for shortcuts and get the most stuff with the least amount of effort.
(I just wish our stack engineer who piles layers of fads onto our stack had this "feature". The bastard seems to like typing...or watching us type.)
I enjoy watching this trade war for some twisted reason. It's like a slow-motion showdown at the Not O.K. Corral. I might change my mind when our collective eye gets put out, but for now the show is bigly great.
China is acting really nervous, while Mr. Orange is giddy jabbing sticks into their beehive (and all beehives for that matter).
That may be why Bootstrap uses Helvetica also. Bootstrap is the king of screen-real-estate wasters (at least per defaults). It's probably done to make things easier for finger-oriented devices, but if the application will be run on desktops 90% of the time, which is the case at many orgs, then the waste adds up per scrolling etc.
While perhaps true, an instructor generally has to set a standard for size of the essay so that students have an idea of what to aim for.
I suppose you could say "approximately 4 pages", but then students will invariably ask, "How much would one be docked points if it's only 3 pages?" Rather than get into that grey area, in practice it's much simpler to say "at least 4 pages", or better yet a range: "between 4 and 6 pages".
If students play games regarding "page size" and that matters to the graders, then other ways to measure "size" may be needed. I'm not saying how much "volume" (pages, words, and/or letters) should count in the grading process, for each instructor and/or grader has a different opinion, and that's kind of another side topic. The focus here is on how to measure if and when an instructor does want to objectively measure.
The rocket pilot and a stationary observer disagree on the order of events.
I realize that. The "order" may look different per observer. But with sufficient observations one can still say X happened before Y from an agreed-on reference point.
That's because light takes time to travel to the observer. There is still the potential to assume and model with a "universal clock" (even if one uses an arbitrary point in the universe for it). Getting the data late doesn't mean there are not reference points.
There is no known equivalent in quantum mechanics, other than "probability clouds", which doesn't solve the "problem".
Actually, fixed-pitch fonts like Courier may make a comeback in schools to make it easier for graders to verify sizing.
Either that, the submissions may be required to be in an electronic form whereby words and/or characters are machine-countable so that human graders don't have to spend time on such. The number of "pages" then is meaningless.
It's been something like 40 years since Jimmy Carter stopped this dead. Long over due that we pursue power technologies that are here and actually work.
No, Obama revived it, but the reception was lackluster and only 1 or 2 new plants were started. Remember his "all of the above" energy plan? The insurance costs and slow ROI frighten away investors. Unless it's subsidized (more) somehow, that's unlikely to change.
Big companies used to pay more for general IT experience. This practice is dwindling as hiring is focusing more on specific tool-sets and ignoring anything outside the target tool-set.
A general-IT-experience "bonus" is dying. If they want "5 years of Java", they pretty much ONLY want 5 years of Java. If you even make the impression you expect your other experience to get you more pay, you are probably out the interview door.
I won't make a judgement call on this practice here, for it's a long topic. I'm only saying it's the trending practice. Everything is getting "gig-ier" and company doors revolve faster.
Thus, it seems IBM hired under Practice X, but fired under Practice Y, making the firings lopsided by age.
I am waiting for the class action against tech giants for firing US citizens in favor of H1-B workers.
I've personally seen H1-B abuse at multiple companies myself. The current administration claimed they were going to cut back on "body shops" and make sure the approvals were going to legitimate requests rather than just attempts to get cheap docile labor. It's still too early to say how it's working out. (By "docile" I mean via situation, not culture.)
Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, are all falling over themselves attempting to help the GOP in ANY WAY POSSIBLE [sarcasm]
I didn't say GOP was exclusively the problem. Read it again. But in general I'd say that top management of large companies leans toward the right. The companies you listed lean left socially but centrally on tax and economic issues. Tim Cook has given personal money to the GOP (and praised the tax cuts with little if any mention of the long-term debt problem they cause.)
On taxes and economics, I'd guestimate all the larger corporations divide up something like:
Far left: 10% Centrist: 50% Far right: 40%
They are doing "in kind donations" to the DNC and not reporting it to FEC.
That's a problem regardless of party. But in general DNC has been more in favor of legislation on donor transparency than GOP.
Which business is in the pocket of the GOP? Oh yea, the ones that the middle class work at.
That doesn't necessarily mean their employees benefit from their employer being GOP. Please clarify.
As a member of the Republican administration, shouldn't Ajit Pai be happy that California is executing it's State's Rights...
GOP only favors States' Rights when the Democrats are in power, just like "fiscal discipline".
In practice, GOP is in the back pockets of corporations. Well, both parties are, to be fair (though not to the same degree.) We are more plutocracy than democracy. Campaign donations are legalized bribery and should be capped, but the GOP courts ended most capping, arguing more or less that such bribery is "free speech" and that corporations should have most of the same rights as humans.
It does look like we are on a slippery slope whereby the richer the rich get, the more money they have to bribe to keep getting richer in a feedback cycle. The increasing inequality is objective evidence of such a cycle. Beware, though, history shows it may end badly.
They are kind of the same thing. "Tax law" includes or excludes any rules that can lead to "loopholes". "Loophole" is not a formal thing with an objective metric. It's generally considered a practice that looks like somebody is trying to circumvent the intention of the law-makers.
One way to reduce loopholes is to require a minimum payment. Thus, if the minimum percent for a billionaire is say 35%, and they take a bunch of deductions that would otherwise go beyond the 35%, they still pay 35%.
That sounds like exactly what Trump would say to sell one of his own initiatives.
No, more like:
"I will launch the best satellites ever to catch losers and cheaters in Jiiina and other shit-hole countries who fart our way without telling us. AND I'll make Canada and Mexico pay for it! I know rockets, believe me, know them really really well. They'll launch the best satellites; gold plated eagles and Jesuses; you'll be proud, proud as it orbits above your patriotic head as we all look up together as Americans to watch solar eclipses without those fake CNN glasses they claim you should use to protect your eyes from socialistic rays. Totally rigged business, and you look silly wearing them. I like people without wimpy eyes who don't go blind. Space Force will MASA!"

Time dilation? Same issue. While there is no "central" time, one can establish a standard reference place/time.
Those packages weren't "empty", they were my scientific atmosphere samples, you insensitive clod!
Isn't "sans serif" a generic name for fonts lacking serifs "fringes"? "Sans" means without, and serif means a flaring out or spreading out at the end.

We don't show up on surveys because pollsters never encounter us: we are in basements trolling around on Slashdot eating delivered pizza.

I'd like to revise that list:
Left: 10%
Centrist: 50%
Right: 40%

But my marketing bullshit is out-of-date also. "Synergy" is obsolete, it seems.
Don't call me "Shirly", that's LGBT discrimination!

There are generally 4 kinds of taxes that affect billionaires or their families directly:
1. Personal income tax
2. Capital gains tax (stocks)
3. Inheritance tax
4. Sales tax
Sometimes various statistics exclude one or more, often to mislead the reader. Therefore, one has to check to make sure all are considered.
Explains why he's so cocky.
Uh, doesn't appear that way.
He realized he needed a vacation.
