What you're describing is a communist welfare system. Little incentive for individuals to work hard, you'll just increase the number of people totally dependent upon the system. Not sustainable.

What you're missing is, someone applied for and received a grant to perform this 'research.' Now they get to publish this paper, and that comes with whatever other benefits.

That's what unaffordable means. If it's unaffordable, you can't maintain it indefinitely. You might maintain it for some time, but inevitably it's going to have its budget cut, which will induce more problems, rinse, r

Socialized medicine was always going to be unaffordable in the long term. If it wasn't a burden, then the 'cost cutting' measures probably wouldn't have been implemented. Having the government in charge of something mea

Who's going to invade the US? Much easier to buy the politicians like how it currently works. This would also require several years of naval and long range bombardments to even be a possibility. Just a non-factor if the planet looks

Definitely. If you're not fighting an unpopular war far overseas somewhere it's not really a problem.

If you set your DB password to 123456 and open it to the internet, turn off all logging, will you have proof someone unauthorized accessed your system? Probably not, unless they did something really overt. That's the level of the inte

There's simply no more room for people in San Francisco. More housing will only cause more problems, the rest of the infrastructure in the city isn't going to scale.

I feel like when legislation is proposed about 'right to repair' or other tech-specific topics, it's fine. This is just partisan politics, there's no reason this should be here.

That's not a manager, that's a secretary, which is my point. Engineering groups don't need managers, they need lead engineers and clerical staff, similar to a group of lawyers or doctors.

I don't want the janitor's role either, but that person isn't in charge of me. Engineering managers are glorified secretaries. We should replace them with actual secretaries that are subordinate to engineers.

Not all birds are equal. I believe the turbines are making a sizable dent in birds of prey, whereas the 14m is probably a variety of birds.
