> We're doing 2.5x the manufacturing with 40% fewer employees. This is very misleading. The reason is because we largely only choose to keep the factories alive that we can almost fully automate. The goods that don't lend them

> The US has lost 40% of its manufacturing jobs since 1980 ( http://research.stlouisfed.org/fredgraph.png?g=rrN ). Even still, there are 245,000 manufacturing jobs currently open. However, over 11 million Americans are sti

> The largest single occupation in 1900 was "domestic servant" - by the 1950s, it no longer existed, because home appliances had completely replaced the job. So my neighbor's domestic servant must be imaginary then right?

There seems to be a lot of people here who think that technology ate up all the jobs. Actually the largest number of jobs that have disappeared are from the manufacturing industry. There is a few reasons behind this. Trade agreements, heavy

It's been quite obvious for some time that learning institutions (especially at the university level) have an ever stronger left leaning political and cultural agenda. Who better to indoctrinate to push their agenda than future leaders

I was not referring to the amount of time being wasted on television. If this were the case I would have mentioned video games as well as half a dozen other things. The question is this. Why are people in the US wealthier then they have eve

Did anyone stop to think that woman generally just have differing interests and natural skills than men? Why is there so much emphasis on women being the same as men in everything? I don't see campaigns to get more women interested in

Does anyone really need this kind of speed in their home? A fast internet service may provide 20mbit/s so no benefit coming from the internet side. Streaming music locally does not consume much bandwidth either. Locally hosted video is

Id be interested to see if even better effects would be realized if television was cut off from a group like this for a generation or two. Why did the parents of these poor kids do a terrible job of parenting before the stipend? They were d

I am not following you. Concealing? do you mean physically hiding the media on which it is stored? Like a flash chip in a tie clasp? If you mean concealing as in hidden partitions, data streams, or digital Stenography - these are all easily

Link bait warning. Author even admits in the comments that what he means is "Going directly from a PSD to an HTML file is dead". Link bait may get you more traffic in the short turn, but will likely just hurt you in the long run.

Who would disagree that more pixels is better? I DO disagree that a 39" glossy monitor from a garbage brand and that only runs @30hz in full res is a good option right now. Too big, glossy and every Seiki monitor that I have come acros

A lot of large US companies pulled out. This drove prices down. So low in fact that it became cost effective enough for Google to go back (and in some cases remain). Again, how moving... If Google really was so generous and humanitarian, wh

I am firmly against the concept of internet censorship - but a line has to be drawn somewhere. The internet is ubiquitous. Four year old kids can surf the web proficiently these days and easily get to hardcore porn by accident. That is by d
