So what if the coal mines close down?
We dont live in aculture where needs stop evolving. Where there's a need, there's industry of some sort.
Humans brains adapt, especially generationally.
I dont see Germany suffering any detrimental consequences of the modern workplace (where I am right now) and infact it's flourishing.
That Said, the education system and the industrial system works close together here, and it's a better system than most. So countries need to pitch in to the effort if educating it's populace for modern day jobs
That said, infedility is also a corner stone of our civilisation.
Yes, old school partnerships are dying, but that doesn't make males more disposable.
If anything,it gives men and women more options and opens up our society to fine tuning. (effects of large scale single momhood/dadhood, competetive job markets and novel family and supporting social structures) the old was nice, but if a single unit can function and achieve what a complex unit used to, wed all benefit. Supposing the experiment doesn't end in failure and twist society. Though even if it does, we'll self correct. After all, nature still rules us.
It's a culture of work hard, fuck-young and marry-old(er) for partnership for the coming future, we'll see where that takes us.
solar power grids. excellent!
as long as they stick to being rich and stay out of our lives, i guess they'll be ok.
if they actually manage to take over some major power or gain major political power to suppress us, well, that could/would end badly, unless they manage to convert the world. im really interested to learn more about their philosophy and their inner workings - sad they're so secretive - that only gives more weight to the suspicion that they're a malevolent organization, especially if what the news portrays is true.
sort of reminds me of the movie equilibrium.

Honestly, I don't see it as a problem.
I think I even forgot the difference between conjuncts and adjuncts, too. Grammar 1/2/3 were tough courses.
I'm leagues below the level of a native speaker, I'll admit that! But I did still do a ton of reading, which did improve my English, but won't protect against common pitfalls :P it could've been worse. At least I don't make those "your" "you're" mistakes, too often :D
And it's been a while since I was a student. Cut me some slack :p
And I know I should've written 'i have' instead of 'i've' - in Arabic we say 'ill efforts blacken the face'
I've learned German, too. German is 'difficult', not because of its grammar, but because how mistakes are handled. Which is often with harsh commentary, ridicule or confusion. Not sure why that is the case, but English speakers are often kinder when offering corrections!
Im new to scala and I love it.
Also sbt > maven!
Theory is nice. But Experience trumps all. Esp when you think it mostly boils down to PCA/DBSCAN, regression and scatter matrices.
A month of Python/R/D3 on some initial data like pubmed/twitter or any toy dataset would go a looong way.
Pdf is a curious case, sort of like flash, but has no real html5 variant, if that makes sense.
The challenge in the end, I suppose, is to overcome yourself. Being 10, you're only starting, and things will get better, especially mid-twenties, so you've a good road to walk. Step by step :)
Pdfs also allow arbitrary code execution, which is not a new result.
