Failure of government results from hijacking by corporate interests. As you say, they'll always seek to pay the least, hence years of the tax code being adjusted for profit.

I've recently gotten back into a programming job after 8 mo out of work and ten years before that doing desktop support instead of my original focus on coding. Getting back into the flow is certainly doable. Be honest about the basic s

I have the original Mount and Blade, never got a chance to delve deeply. Does it handle well on Win10?

And screw themselves in the process... not a net gain unless someone's wanting to share a bad day, I suppose.

That's unbelieveable... I can't imagine that there's any real way to control swarms that large, and the idea of burning the entire country clean to starve them out seems a bit counterproductive.

I've sen quite a few quotes around that very point, similar to "You'll get the teacher you need when you need them" or "You'll read it again and understand it on a whole different level" or "The peopl

Nope. I don't think patient details are required for determining an equitable markup per drug. It's the companies that are relying on the relative invisibility of their pricing decisions that have all the power in the current dyn

Wow, you believe companies actually pay taxes? Ok, a bit hyperbolic, but really. A half a century of deregulation and tax breaks isn't making this _worse_ for companies.

You're way overthinking this. What needs to happen is, again and again with health care issues, transparency. Manufacturers should be required to declare and with audits prove how much they're spending to manufacture everything. T

And as I said in another comment, let them make that decision... I would love to see them attempt to justify denying life saving medication in only one part of the country because money. Might just be the straw that would finally break thei

Let them choose to not sell dirt-cheap-to-produce insulin in a state because "It's not economically viable". I would love to see those marketing execs strung out in the court of public opinion for denying life saving medicati

Had a single board Synertek kit, 6502 based with 2112 RAMs... in 1979? Had to do the math, didn't realize it was that "late" in the 6502 history. Such a fun fun processor to work on at age 12... and I've always been grat

Wow... it's been a long time since you bootstrapped yourself through minimum wage jobs and had do work for anyone who would take you until you could save enough to start to crawl up out of that cycle... Took me a tour in the military t

And many read it and can't digest it, let alone put it into practice. A couple of very capable people I know can hear the story of something that happened to someone, and they get glazed eyes and can only say "Huh?" Then I r

I'd like to frame this question as "What percentage of people have left Google for other better SEs?" I'm curious to see that number climb.

It's actually impossible for GPS to show your current position. The signals have to be received from each satellite, then processed to yield a position valid at the time of transmission. Every GPS fix you get is delayed by AT LEAST tha

I personally would volunteer to be on one of the teams in another van with directional antennas to triangulate your transmissions and shut down you ASAP. The fact that no one has ever truly tried that sort of poisoning of radio calls is mor

I think in this case the use of 'de-orbit' only means removing it from its in-service geosynchronous orbit, to the graveyard orbit. De-orbit down around usual LEO altitudes is more drag-effect, you will return to Earth soon enough

by zentiggr 7y ago
At these orbital heights, there is no atmosphere for drag effects, so adding energy to move to a slightly higher orbit, outside of true geosync altitude, is a permanent change. Low Earth orbits do have atmospheric drag issues, and those ite

Funny thing is, no one programmer can know all languages and systems, and with a short consult into an aspect of a system they're unfamiliar with, would be unlikely to give more than general advice. Sounds an awful lot like the situati
