Yet in America there are vast numbers of smart people getting left behind educationally.

I agree with a lot of your points, but I think a good education system would be able to train huge amounts of Americans to do whatever work was needed. Along with the parenting incentives you mention. We don't need more immigrants, we

Completely agree. Let's just learn.

Maybe if the American education system wasn't horrible and getting worse, there would be a chance that the millions of unhappy American workers could get in on these job openings. Too many feelings and coddling, no rigor at all.

There's no shortage of people willing to become astronauts. The potential pool is ... Almost everyone? Certainly 90% of the young people who might be qualified would be interested. Let's be real about the goals of this comic, whic

Well, that's treason. Of course they wouldn't have obeyed such a command, but there's a lot of unnecessary and illegal actions and a lot of self aggrandizement in this story.

If Apple didn't do it above and beyond not just what is normal but what is reasonable without an eye roll, then it wouldn't appear in every announcement, would it?

No way, the 6th booster will definitely do it! Or maybe the 7th!

As many as we want, just like everything else.

Normally I would agree with you but if there's anything that we can all agree to ban it's annoying, unnecessary practices like this.

What a straw man argument in that article. "not a democracy" simply refers to avoiding decisions based on the public opinion that sways in the wind, sometimes dramatically. See vaccine and mask mandates.

That's a lot of words for an entry level Photoshop tutorial.

Well said. Today it's a dating camp that you attend after high school before you settle into the debt economy.

Everyone going to college has turned it into high school- in every metric. I'm a professor, and college is a lifestyle, the classes are a part time job, and there is greatly reduced academic rigor and seriousness. At some age, general

We do need much better civics and history classes. We don't "give up rights," and we're not "governed" in this country. Look at the wording of the bill of rights. It's a list of limits on the government.

The government does not have rights. In the United States the power resides in the individual citizens. The "government" are individual citizens selected to do the paperwork. When their corruption exceeds our disinterest, they&#x2

This gets more interesting the further you read. It's richer than many Pixar history articles, which are typically pretty good. The invention of the alpha channel. Layers. Good stuff.

I have been told multiple times, "there's no reason anyone would want to do that." Totally nuts.

You want to maximize the window? Just go Fullscreen! You want to see the dock? Just manually resize the window. It will remember the size you left it at! Except it doesn't, it resizes every window every time to some random two thirds o

If the reason to change the court size is to get your way, it's wrong.

There's no gain to this. The only potential gain of adding justices is to fill the seats yourself. The whole idea is selfish and short-sighted.

Not only is this riddled with spelling and grammar errors, but it's absurd. Shakespeare's famous romantic scene does exactly the same thing: "it is the east, and Juliet is the sun." That's how he wrote.

Companies have no business concerning themselves with my expenses or my profit over cost. Also, for years developers slept in vans in the parking lot to get around SF housing costs, I don't see how remote is any different.

My question is how hard and how fast is china going to shift left from recent signals that individual wealth and powerful companies are about to be curbed.
