60 hours, hmm. Does he pay overtime? Does he increase stock options, ideally grants? Is the project horribly behind time or features? Or, is he just an asshole who feels he can replace workers as needed? Obviously ageist, probably anti-

Beholding to a boss or to owners. Not a whole lotta difference unless everybody is a sole proprietorship. And that would be way too hand to mouth for most people. Some people want to try to die rich and unloved by 40. Some people work to

“Nine missed meals from anarchy.” There’s a lot of armed people in the US so social unrest will be a problem if they ever get so angry that Fox News can’t trank them.

No well-paid workers (or UBI), no consumer economy. Their call.

If you don't have stable-duration grants, if you can't publish, if you can't present there's no reason for PhD's, p-docs or junior faculty to become involved. Going to do wonders for extra-US facilities and groups.

LLM? Any verbose, struggling to focus article now looks generated rather than the work of somebody with better ideas than technique. Or they’re being paid by the word. I wonder whether there is a jargon problem with the word “great”…. Th

There’s a whole lot more voters with (far) less money. Get them to vote their interests rather than the bs they’re spoon fed.

If you’re angry at old, rich people, tax their asses. The taxes to have stuff for society have to, unfortunately, come from where the money is. Sux to be them, the rich. Techbros ain’t boomers. And, perhaps, they want you yelling at boom

Look to the hiring patterns, particularly for those coming out of uni. While AI might not kill your job options, companies seem quite willing to do so.

This shows the importance of choosing the correct jargon and terminology, and then employing clear and unambiguous communication. They asked engineers for a static fire test. Got one hell of a fire, so that’s good, but it wasn’t very stat

Guess AI will read his ads and buy his products?

Was it digitized as is or dumped into an AI or just dumped into the recycling bin?

To start with, they’d have to be willing to pay more in Walmart for us made goods…

There's a simple way - cut 'em a check. If you don't threaten their reelection or provide, um, campaign funds you're noise.

If Canada cuts off the money tap, that health and security bill is going to be significant.

Do the oil profits even stay in Canada? Taxes maybe, but it’s not like the province owns the wells.

Canada, as a commonwealth country, was involved in ww I and ww ii years before the us decided to get involved. Or more involved than selling arms.

Erm, Apple gear, cheap stuff, and much of the generic drug market comes from those ChiComs. Or is it ok if the US does it?

I thought languages often had irregular forms of commonly used forms? Perhaps heavy usage delayed or prevented standardization. Childs looks like the apostrophe is missing :-).

Trump would have done nothing if he wasn’t aided and enabled by the rest of the government. There’s no indication this was a one off.

If the F-15 line is still in production, it's a damn fine bird and has broad mission capability. And the remaining B-52's are probably older that most of the HN community. At least those not retired or cashed out.

Trump doesn't "manage" anything. Trump is "managed". The question is who all pull the strings.

Looking at Ford, GM, and Stellantis, one can say the US doesn't really have an auto industry either. Certainly not a car industry.

We can also have a chuckle and imagine the kerfuffle in the US West Coast wanted to be the 11th provinces...

FWIW, Ozempic, which seems popular, came from a Danish Pharma. There's very large pharma in Sweden, related to the UK.

I think the F-16 would have been a good bird for Canada's needs. The F-18 had the advantage of two engines, which strikes me as a good thing in the Arctic. If these two are off the table, things like the Saab are reasonable. There&#

Unfortunately, there is nothing in the US system (as far as I can see) that prevents Trump-like behaviour being the new standard. There were three supposedly independent, contentious branches of Government. One is inert (legislature), one

They also make the underlying bird, so parts aside from the electronics are native.
