(Hopefully this massive browser-crushing 10,000x5,904 jpeg will shut up the endless legion of idiots who complained about "sub-iphone" picture quality.)
The problem is statistical. There just aren't enough jobs, an irreconcilable jobs gap. While it's nice that you had the incredible luck to pivot into a completely different field, that just doesn't matter here. You can't base an economy on every worker flipping heads ten times in a row.
You're 22 and a half version numbers short. Emacs is more than 30 years old, remember.
[Wired's rebuttal is] kinda annoying. Ryan Singel, old white guy, repeats
Quinn Norton’s gender (female) five separate times (she is a girl)
because Sogohian, dirt-poor terrorism suspect, is apparently the
chairman of the Patriarchy.[1] Hey, you know who else has white male
privilege, Ryan? Editors at old-media print magazines.Unfortunately, the only time you really want liquidity is during a crisis, which is when all the HFT firms exit the market, since they're in it to make money, of course, not to act as a regulated and guaranteed market maker.
The first meaning: if you’ve conceived something in your
mind, decide to do it, and are willing to put in the work
– nothing can stop you.
Social engineering will always work.
Of course, the original post is only one paragraph longer than the boingboing excerpt.
A Data Grid is an architecture or set of services that enable individuals
or groups of users the ability to access, modify and transfer extremely
large amounts of geographically distributed data for research
purposes.[1] Data grids make this possible through a host of middleware
applications and services that pull together data and resources from
multiple administrative domains and then present it to users upon request.
Both places require pressure suits, but the Moon is a hard vacuum, which means you can do the usual vacuum industry tricks, while Mars has just enough atomosphere to rule out vacuum applications, but not enough atmosphere to breathe. Maybe in five thousand years we will have terraformed a breathable atmosphere, but in the near future it will be a neat place to plant a flag, like the top of Everest, but certainly not a place you'd like to live.
Wait a week, resubmit it with a different one.
No. China has a defense. A last resort defense. Because
they have this defense, the US will not attack China.
That's just how it is. Attacking China is suicide because
of China's nuclear capabilities.
That agreement's laughably unenforceable in a full-bird US/China shooting war; but it's there.
