Hopefully Goldman Sachs will be able to arrange for a treaty to be signed with Japan requiring their citizens to sign up for Facebook or be fined.

What I add to the conversation is the observation that groupthinkers enforce conformity with downvotes. I read the article and agreed with it. It is a topic I have thought about quite a bit, the weird cult thinking about "science" where sci

I don't know Sebastian, but speaking for myself, this article did bring strongly to mind experiences in engineering school where most of the engineering students were either Chinese or Korean. No Vietnamese, no Japanese. Almost entirely Chi

I wouldn't call her nutty - I am sure she is sane and well intentioned - but I did cringe throughout reading that article. What I didn't say was, "Wow if only my parents pushed an micromanaged me like that I would be successful and happy."

Sorry do you have sources? I posted a citation to a reliable study. Sorry you don't like it. I'm surprised you were able to read it so quickly, you must be a really fast reader. Here's a column of feedback from readers to the study: http:/

Not just IT, but nearly all subjects are actually learned mostly outside school. The exceptions are a few topics such as indoctrination into propaganda, and learning docile obedience to authority, which do happen mostly at school. Falk and

I agree it was a success. The target was eliminated, the operatives all survived, and it struck fear into the hearts of the enemy.

The article's author demonstrates poor analytical skills. Regarding poisons themselves, they all depend on how much you ingest. How much salt do you eat? Three pounds a day? Salt is a poison and if you eat too much you can get sick and die.

What the website advocates, redirecting site traffic through them, is a very bad idea. If you don't know why this might be so, stop and ask yourself why you are in charge of modifying the zone records.

National Debt has become an imaginary number. I don't owe a cent on it. Let the banksters pillage the economy and try to collect on a nation of bankrupt people with rifles.

That's not the consumer debt figure. Consumer debt, which is credit cards and other unsecured, mostly high interest debt, is $2399 billion. http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/g19/current/default.h... That comes to $2399 billion / 307

I agree with you. Lee should donate the $5000 to Strang and be done with it. If they are not to his satisfaction, it is up to him to specify what he doesn't like about these world class lectures from a renowned expert teacher.

Yes, if the customers are doing hardware testing it's a disaster for satisfaction, and you also have the cost of repair and shipping and recalls. It's very interesting trade off wise. When I worked in the semiconductor industry, there was a

Yes, that is basically correct, although the difference in cost wasn't all environmental obviously, there was also the advantage of using a labor pool with few rights compared to the US, poor health care, and other factors. On top of unit c

People support taxes and welfare though. Taxation is theft plain and simple. So again, although some are opposed to the theft of taxation, not all are, and so it's not true there is universal revulsion for property theft. Also theft of even

"The Thirteenth Amendment which is ostensibly about slavery would seem to ban prison labor outside of prisons." That seems like quite a stretch and isn't really consistent with the language.
