US Steel just got ride of 25% of its non-union workforce. ATI just announced that it would be laying off 1/3 of its non-union workforce. Carrier is moving manufacturing operations to Mexico. We're on the verge of something really

I could never live in the city. I don't even like going into the city for work.

Out of curiosity, where was your hotel?

If you're not set on living in the city, housing is fantastic in the Pittsburgh area. I live 20 minutes from Downtown and I bought my house for $74,900 in 2008. 3/2, two car garage and driveway sitting on about 1/8 of an acre

There are kinds of corruption and abuse. I believe that he's looking to gauge which kind happened here. For example, if you have past convictions for drug possession and the corruption in this case was that the officer saw you, knew yo

I'm not sure about requiring a 16 year old to be charged with a crime for a police officer to take him beer away, so I understand this argument to some degree. Why confiscate the beer? Dump it out and return the bottles. The officer

I get that it's easy to bury your head in the sand when it comes to these things, but there is a major league problem with the police here in SF. They are accountable to nobody and continue to harass and intimidate everyone, not just

This can be followed up by an even "crazier" question: If so, is our Galaxy a living creature ? I like this, a galaxy-scale Gaia Hypothesis. Why not? Our perspective is so small and our life span is so limited, would we be able

I too was expecting a minor child, not a young-ish adult. I don't feel like checking it now but Linus was pretty young too when he released his kernel.

Legal and common definitions are often at odds. Legally, marijuana and cocaine are "narcotics" but pharmacologically they are not. The law defines personhood for biological entities too. One minute before birth, it's not a le

This "Tax all the things!" mentality is what got us into the current situation. If a company is going to incur an enormous tax liability by earning the money under one taxing authority, it will make sense for them to push that rev

The crux of ownership is having the right to determine who has access to something and under what conditions. You own your body and can use force to prevent someone from having sex with you against your will. I wouldn't say that you&#x

People is a plural form of person. Not in the context of the Constitution. "The people" makes reference to American Citizens. "Person" makes reference to legal persons.

A person never lost their individual right to freedom of speech if they formed or became a member of a corporation. That was precisely the issue before the court in this case. Did the individuals who formed the corporation Citizens United

The framers never intended for individuals to give up their rights just because they form corporations. I have the right to freedom of speech. You have the right to freedom of speech(assuming that you're an American citizen). If you an

A majority of Americans voted for the Democrat in 2000, but the Republican was installed instead That's a feature, not a bug. The Electoral College was specifically designed to mitigate the power of densely populated areas.

Climbers & their money do tons for the Sherpas and their communities - but that exchange is at gunpoint I have a big problem with characterizing it thusly. The Sherpas lived and died in Nepal for thousands of years before the arrival

In 2010, I saw a job listing that I found interesting and I applied for it. The recruiting company reached out to me and said that because I was currently working for one of their clients, they wouldn't consider me for the job. They re

"Too high" is not an objective measure. If the people of Scandinavia feel that what they're getting in return is worth it, they'll pay the taxes. People in Scandinavian countries have a higher amount of trust in their go

When this kind of tax evasion becomes widespread, that should be a clear indicator that the tax rate is too high. In a cashless society, it becomes possible (if not inevitable) the enforcement of that taxation will become even more onerous.

I am a black person in America and I think you're half right. White people and black people use illegal drugs at approximately the same rate. Black people, despite being a population only 1/4 the size of the white population, are

You are absolutely correct. I remember being told that I was paranoid when I had concerns about CALEA. I was worried that it would be used for purposes other than warrant-backed monitoring of actual criminals and criminal suspects. Here we

We do joint military operations and training with allied countries all of the time. It's not an invasion if we invited them and they're not attacking.

Simply amazing. I'm sure that there's a good reason for it but the Turkish military has a plane over Columbus, Ohio. I would have never expected to see that.

Completely unplayable on a Pi2. When it didn't do the hardware bootup after 5 minutes, I gave up. Maybe the ODroid could make it happen but the Pi2 simply cannot.

This isn't game development specific, but in 2014, I made the move from programmer/developer to analyst. ALL of the joy had been sucked out of development. Work/Life balance was fine but the technical work/administrative
