If there's more than copper cladding, and even if that's all there is, get those pennies out of people drawers and jars -> recycling. They're not really worth carrying about, yet they contains metals that might be useful

Stocks have to have some reward otherwise people won't play with them. They can be relatively stable-priced and return dividends or they can be increasing-price and ignore dividends. As is pointed out, the money and the gain has to c

If pushed by any level of government it’s a first amendment violation. In all cases, favouring one religion (or group) over others is discrimination. By making it an example of coercion, it poisons belief making it a must do rather than a

Some people might be trying their best to resist but on the whole there seems to be supine acceptance of what’s going down. I hope there actually is not obvious fighting but it would be better if they gave a hint from time to time. One thir

What happens if they screw up the update or a net error occurs? Will this wedge the entertainment system, motor logic or what?

My cars last 8+ years. My tablets last 3+ years. I’ll pass on a software defined car unless they swap out the whole logic and display unit before the warranty runs out. Otherwise I’ve got dead hardware in the cabin. They did this to the

If they demand 5-in-office then they should stfu about climate and affordable housing. The commute offices tend to inflict on the staff makes such arguments bs.

In order to do this, you have to at least claim you're comfortable living in places like Texas or Florida. I would think them dull after living in California, but that's me. And I would also think having women who are biological

Unilateral action, particularly after hostile interaction, tends to be a “you broke it, you fix it” kind of thing. If the US had interacted with and convinced the UN or NATO as to the reasoning and plan for Iran, things might have been diff

Buggy, brittle code will kill any project. AI or people doesn’t matter, as the sh*t has to work well enough to be worth working with it.

No, they’re usually rated on the ability to bring in grant money.

In my experience, the number of "significant scientific researchers" is rather small. If you happen to have some of them in-country already, great! Fund them so they'll stay. If you can poach them from outside the country,

How many women, and it's usually women, are interested in either giving up a career or taking a 6-10 year break from it to have kids (more years if more than 2-3)? This asks a lot from society in terms of parental leave and support, a

Hmm... This is the guy who blew off the UK last week? I think the typical response will be "you broke it, you fix it". Or, if the countries are feeling chummy, "you first, and we have free trade".

I wonder whether other sports require more teamwork to be successful - as the "stars" must be successful to collect serious coin. In the NFL/CFL, if you lose the support of your offensive line, your life as the big-ticket qu

If you want to work in the biotech/pharma business, you can be a PhD or you can be a technician. The latter needs to have "a good pair of hands" in the lab to be successful. The former, at least in the 00's, needed lab

While there's coast near Bandar Abbas (sez Google), there's a whole lot of mountains inland of that. Not sure what the range of Iranian weaponry is, but digging troops out of mountains is something that tends to be avoided. Ther

I think it will come down to the government's tolerance for casualties. This has not been a, erm, popular subject since ‘Nam but people forget too easily. If they think they’ll profit from it, they’ll throw them in. They’re NPC’s af

They’re going to “pay” engineers in the tools they need to do their work? Basically buying their tools with corporate script? Don’t they provide them with the tools needed to do their work now? And is this something they can spend somewhe

Lower taxes, lower salaries. Possibly lower expenses as well, but I’m unfamiliar with relative health etc costs in the us anymore. If they need high tech workers and can’t get them in Georgia, they can look in Japan or elsewhere for a hig

Taxes are bad, terrible, harmful until the first hurricane hits at which point they'll hold out their hand for rebuilding money. Privatize the gains, socialize the losses, eh? Face it, the rich are out for the rich and you're foo

I assume this is a move to hire people more palatable to the state by eliminating the competition. Or to score political points independent of the cost on the actual instruction. The world isn’t swimming in masters and PhD level people wh

Why does laser impact divert particles, and how can they make an anti-drone weapon w/o momentum transfer? Physics isn’t Newtonian or classical, it’s just that such approximations hold in most macroscopic investigations.

Life's too short to consider how to make quote marks. I was disappointed that the article wasn't about quotes-as-sayings rather than fonts.

There’s the refugee path, and you can use various international treaties to get temporary residence in Canada. I think all countries are touchy about citizenship though.

I still can't wrap my brain around a 1hr shift being this deadly. I assume most people get up at a different time on the weekend than during the week - how is this not causing problems? Significant air-travel can result in (significa

I wouldn't call Canada "highly liberal" unless you're starting from a rather conservative bias. Having lived in both countries, there's a lot to be said for not having to scramble for health insurance when you don&
