but we are being "lightly toasted", not "scorched"; that's the difference. (Time to use cooking terms, for libraries-of-congress analogies are getting old.)
Soccer also needs bigger goals if it wants to thrive in the US. Scores like 2-to-1 are too boring for a US audience that prefers instant and constant gratification. Some also feel it's too random: small differences make too big a impact. Offense sells tickets. Get it up to 15 or so point averages if you want it popular in the US.
Or perhaps get rid of the goalie, or draw a line to push the goalie out of the scoring box so that fields don't have to install giant goal boxes.
Indeed. English is flooded with wannabe teachers and dreamy literature fanatics. Economics less so. The opening is comparing apples (English) to peaches (Economics) to oranges (CS). I guess it was written by an English major, eh?
You don't get a temple "pass" unless you fully pay 10%. If you don't have one, word gets around. Maybe your parents just accepted the fact that they were not entirely "in".
If I am not mistaken, one of the reasons the Soviet Union gave up the moon race is that the rendezvous-at-the-moon approach was considered too complicated for their electronics of the day, so they tried for the "big rocket" approach instead.
However, the shear size of the thing was too much to manage, creating a giant explosion in tests that killed key researchers.
Managers should also be formally judged by their underlings. If they score low or fail to improve in problem categories, they get docked pay.
It can be an anonymous survey with 20 or so categories such as "Shows respect to me (employee)", "Explains my tasks clearly", "Listens to and thoughtfully considers my opinion", "Gives me meaningful and relevant work", "Explains the purpose of my work in terms of organizational goals", etc.
But third-world labor is often cheaper because those countries don't have and/or enforce labor, safety, and pollution laws. Should we trash the USA in order to compete with those used to living in trashy country?
Further, individuals here don't have the ability to change their entire country even if they personally wanted the trade-offs offered by such an Ayn Rand "paradise".
And why reward trashy countries for being trashy by giving them our jobs? We should encourage them to get civilized.
SCE's management culture may be particularly primed for firing its IT workers...One observation in this report...was that 'employees perceive managers to be more concerned about how they 'look' from above, and less concerned about how they are viewed by their subordinates.
PHB1: "This survey shows our employees think we in management are clueless superficial jerks. What do we do about it?"
PHB2: "I got it! Fire them all and outsource their work to new people who don't yet know we are clueless superficial jerks."
PHB1: "Brilliant! Let's vote ourselves a raise for this plan!"
was that the rollout was rushed for political reasons. If it were slowed down then the republicans might have had more success killing it before implementation.
That might be "political" reasons, but it's also practical reasons. If you want to get certain things done, you have to race against competition trying to kill it.
For about 100 years various presidents and lawmaking groups have tried to enact a medical insurance program of some sort, only to see it smashed down. With that kind of record you know you have to move quickly and take some risk to slip through the narrow cracks of opportunity that present themselves.
Like it or hate it, ACA is a monumental political endeavor with equally monumental forces pushing against it. The horse has to be big and ride fast to get something like this through, and that probably means inadvertently stepping on and squashing stuff along the way.
When Biden was caught on mike saying, "This is a big fucking deal!", it was no exaggeration.
Oracle should accept some losses and quietly make an amiable-as-possible exit. Why air dirty laundry about clients? Even if the State is partly to blame, being a loud asshole makes you less likely to get future gov't contracts.
This is the theory of abiogenesis, not evolution. Evolution is how life changes, not how it got started.
But life probably cannot start until evolution helps it along. Something that was half-alive probably had to be shaped further by evolution to become true life.
For example, an early molecule that was perhaps either too poor a replicator (sloppy & broken) or too accurate a replicator (exact clones) would have reached a dead end if evolution didn't start pruning the copies to find the Goldilocks range of imperfection level (mutation) in the replication process necessary for continuing life.

Mormonism doesn't outright force a 10% income "tithing", but you are pretty much ostracized if you don't pay up.

Ethanol is a red-state welfare, actually. Red states keep pushing it because it keeps the price of corn high.

That's not how they're made. See, you start with a blow-up doll...
If other countries start creating "tiger kids" en mass, then the USA may be forced to accept the idea in order to economically compete.
Resistance is fu......oh sh8t!

That's probably what the sales-person told them.

However, seems they forgot to get it in writing.
