Look at the head of the EU! They literally chose the most mediocre bureaucrat in Germany to run the whole area. It's emblematic of how the EU functions.

FT had an article about this a few months ago- Arianspace is seeing their business evaporate overnight, and they have no reusability story, and Europe doesn't do enough launches to really drive much business. EDIT: Link: https:/&

Enter the cartoon with a banker with the mob outside all "occupy wall street" on the phone with his PR firm, instructing them to the tell the mob "what identity politics is".

Yeah, FT has been harping on this for a while now. If you have reserves you can prop up your currency, but the clown world can only last so long until you run out of money.

The 737 Max quote "designed by clowns, who in turn are supervised by monkeys" seems appropriate for USB-C too.

My favorite part of conducting design interviews is when a candidate has pulled some complex distributed system out of their ass, and I ask them what the actual throughput/memory usage looks like.

Sayeth OkCupid's blog: "As you can see from the gray line, women rate an incredible 80% of guys as worse-looking than medium. Very harsh." Unfortunately was removed, presumably due to being bad for business! * https:/&#

You are correct. It's a pity they didn't focus on our society is affecting men and women differently- for example 90% of men being excluded from online dating, or many small liberal arts colleges being 70+% women, or women unable

The combination of aging populations and automation slowly reducing the pool of careers even skilled workers have available is a vicious feedback loop. - You can import skilled labor, which if done in sufficient quantities drives down wages

In fairness to the UK, they probably aren't going to become 80% foreign real-estate scams, 20% resource extraction. Well not the latter, at least.

Scandalously underpaid is putting it lightly. We've basically transitioned to scientists being minimum wage workers, with the main incentive being permanent residency for the legions of foreign phds. Of note, engineering other than sof

I'm amazed how few people are aware of this. Even conventional conflict beacons- an unstable Ethiopia + Egypt coming to blows, for example.

No shit, it's just someone's project to get a promotion, again. Nobody cares, nobody will use it, and it'll go into the graveyard in a year or two.

We already spend a shitload of money on education here, and it's crap. Same with healthcare. Our spending is not the problem. Spending more money on schools will not fix a social problem.

The author of the post deserves an award for doublespeak. It's like Facebook's lawyers saying "user privacy hurts small businesses, therefore let us collect all your information".

Inquiring minds would love to know about a practical solution. You can add more material, but that's extra bulk and weight. I think we can agree that a mountain is bullet proof, but that's not really practical. Also, rifles are re

No, what grandparent is saying is state politicians and most Americans in general are unable to do simple math. Compound interest? Forget about it!

In the US, in the states where we can make decent money, yes, it is normal. If middle class is defined as being able to afford a modest house/condo and retire at 65, yeah, this country is fucked. My experience parallels yours for 20-40

Carmen San Diego was able to steal the Statue of Liberty... ...but seriously, how many places do you think in a city you can store a car? How do you recognize said stolen car? How long would it take to verify the vin numbers? It sounds like
