>the main problem today is not unequal pay for equal work, but whatever it is that leads women to be in lower-ranking jobs at lower-paying organisations If only this was the conversation we could have, we might actually make some progres

They're also from Texas, making cowboys even more appropriate.

This is a huge concern, if you spend any amount of time working in an airgapped environment this becomes painfully obvious.

by Wohlf 8y ago
I agree, but as someone who works on airgapped networks it effectively doubles (if not even more so) overhead and burden, and not only for infrastructure and administration but you end up duplicating and creating a lot more work for every p

I think most (but not all) fields would find a traditional union too limiting and frustrating these days, not to mention the issues with corruption they are plagued with in the US. A flexible and modern hybrid with a guild type system, more

At least there's one thing with overwhelming, bipartisan support in Congress.

That probably rules out every state and federal politician. Either way, this was on the hospital. Insurance paid $50k for an operation that costs $25k, and still the hospital charged him $109k. >UPDATE: Monday, shortly after publication

Because they've taken a look at the alternatives and decided to make the best of a bad situation.

Rural and suburban means very different things in Europe than it does in the Americas, often orders of magnitude more distance.

Real estate is not limited to land, plenty of people own property in large cities with condos and coops. Even if the building is owned by a business homeowners in multi-family buildings have the same protections as those in single-family.

Companies like Sinclair would probably love that, they can more easily control lots of small, key media companies.

My guess is editor bias, the people who edit Wikipedia are in their 20s and 30s so they put the games they grew up with. As younger people begin to edit the page, they'll do the same.

Ah yes, Hollywood, our moral arbiters that can't stop projecting their own issues on to everyone else.

As with most things, it depends. If a country isn't trading in good faith tariffs can be used to correct that, just like fines are used to encourage companies to follow regulations within a country.

I think your privilege may be showing. Estimates are that there's around 3.6 billion airline passengers a year. That's not unique or international passengers, that's all passengers. When you factor in that most passengers fly

Everywhere I have been the options are Android, iPhone, or a feature phone. Are there actually places where the other two are not an option? Another commenter said it seems to be that Apple just doesn't have enough market share for ant

Fair enough.

I cannot for the life of me understand how Apple's ironclad control over the hardware, OS, and App store isn't considered vastly worse than this.

>The fact is, in the upper half of the American class system, educational needs are fantastically well served by redundant layers of investment. And in the lower levels, we attempt to pick up the slack by spending more money. Unfortunate

It's going towards cost disease, waste, bureaucracy, nepotism, lawsuits, etc.

I have bad news for you then, because every military in the world uses plenty of resources developed in the private sector and academia.

We have this in the US as well, "Registered Mail". It's only used for things that are very sensitive/important since it's a huge pain in the butt, both sender and recipient require verification of identity.

This is not the debt to GDP ratio, this is the sum of all government debts and assets. The debt to GDP ratio only includes public debts. The United States has a debt to GDP ratio of 104.17% as of 2015, less than the average for an OECD coun

One of the basic foundations of economics is competitive advantage. No one makes everything themselves, they defer to specialists. I don't see why writing papers should be any different, considering most of the work is not about techni

I would assume it's because of intent. Companies want to give you credit, they just use your credit report to determine the likelihood of your future creditworthiness. They've determined that after 7 years your previous actions ar

That's definitely an eyebrow raising quote, but I'm pretty sure he meant it the opposite way it's being taken. He's fine with the franchise being extended, he wants those groups to have more libertarians. It's the s

We can create even more jobs by banning construction equipment and computers!

Only police are allowed to commit what would normally be crimes in the act of pursuing criminals, and even then these cases are limited. The only exception I can think of for normal people is self defense, which is not always legal.

by Wohlf 9y ago
We could give everyone in the world a job right now by banning construction equipment, computers, cars, assembly lines, or any form of automation really.
