Many shipping (as in, the ships on the seas) use slave labor. If the cost of transporting goods raises far enough, including coast-to-coast domestic shipping, that will provide an economic incentive to produce things domestically.

And if your dad was an entry level or journeyman cabinet maker today, he'd be making $25/hr no benefits.

I call them 'slave stones' because the miners are often times literal slaves.

I have some family members in the cabinet business. Nobody is paying $60k/yr unless they're getting a lot of OT. They're commuting 2+ hours each way, don't get paid for the drive time, drive their own trucks, have thei

The language has stagnated in many areas. Meat is flesh. Maybe we can call vegetable products that try to emulate meat: veat, in English anyway. There's probably already a term that has fallen out of common usage, maybe we can look i

In stores around me, they put 'beyond meat' (meat's in the name for crying out loud) products right next to the actual meat.

At the end of the article, the author makes the appeal that self-driving development should continue and increase on public roads because the companies can't develop their products otherwise. The companies can absolutely develop their

I didn't take it as an insult. I truly want other people to not want to come here. The downward pressure on IT salaries is impacting all other sectors of the economy and denying people here access to the economic ladder. Canada wants

For now, H1Bs don't replace truly highly skilled workers. What they do have an impact on is companies not investing in hiring junior employees and training them up. Thus, the disadvantaged people that can't attend college, who w

H1B is a non-immigrant visa. They're not supposed to be here long.

Yes. It will raise wages for everyone.

My mistake, thanks for the clarification. Anyway, Google re-implemented the Java API in many areas, not just wrote code to interact with it. Either way, I think a loadable module would fall under similar treatment.

Nvidia wants to distribute their proprietary driver separate from the kernel. GPL is a copy-left license, meaning any derivative works are subject to the GPL. Currently Nvidia creates a proprietary driver that is not specific to linux, thu

by linuxftw 3y ago
Technically that's wrong. Anything you distribute to another person needs to be GPL. You can link and load anything you want into the kernel for your own purposes. Personally, I'm not persuaded that a loadable proprietary kernel

You can look at the 'record lows' map and see that the vast majority of these wells are in the south west and California. And for the east coast and Mississippi region, they don't use deep aquifer wells, they use rain-charged

California grows very little for the 'rest' of the nation. Outside of oranges and almonds, most produce is produced regionally during the growing season.

The farms I'm personally familiar with use multiple smaller ponds. I would say they have 1/10th of the acreage in retention ponds, if that.

We exports huge amounts of grain. The groundwater we're depleting isn't for our own use, it's to feed other countries. I don't see why this requires a federal solution. Those states own/control their own water. I

America's not. The southwest and California are. The rest of the country has a surplus of water from rain. The farms near me all use rainwater retention ponds for irrigation, it's much cheaper than digging a well (the farther y

If working in a solitary codebase, this problem isn't very interesting. Do whatever makes your life easier. If you're working on any kind of code that serves as a library to other code, don't mutate the signatures of your pu

To actually be seen, you mostly need a disability rating. Every veteran has 'free medical care' much in the way that every poor person has free medical care. It exists on paper, but it's impossible to obtain.

My grandfather was killed by agent orange. He wound up with some extremely rare lung condition, but according to the VA, it wasn't the right lung condition so they denied his claim. He didn't die in his 80s, he died in his early

Unlike the Stein recount, it seems Mohave County actually possessed the ballots. I'm talking about 100's of ballots going 'missing' and having no paper trail whatsoever. Also, 46 'races' out of 30k+ races, bec

That's not how recounts work. Please, inform yourself.
