Your parents efforts, like many of the the good efforts to move humanity forward over many decades, have been thrown into the trash. The next generations of Americans will have social/educational gaps that CPB/PBS…
May I add; the Democrats In Name Only(DINOs) of Manchin, Synema, and others? destroying the slight majorities Democrats seem to put together when ostensibly "in power"... They need to exert more control over the…
Sarcasm, or not, I hate your correct assessment in so many ugly, broken people's perspectives.
Exactly; if you wish I replied below. That is exactly the point of staying in such organizations, especially if you wish to be on the edge, and especially if you wish to publish, yourself.
True, but it does depend on your field. I was fortunate/unfortunate to have my feet in both over the years, and could not afford either early on, when I truly needed access.
In the past I wouldn't go to IEEE for IT and CS, except maybe, possibly for the physical level; that's the ACMs bailiwick. I had the distinct fortunate/unfortunate to be an absolute crossover, but could afford neither…
I'm truly interested in your thoughts... where would you discover truly hard problems? What do you feel would make you qualified to work on them, over, say someone else? enough to prove it to someone that could…
agreed with your points... as a user of the current ath9k wireless problems, code changes to address security issues completely broke the wireless - for over two kernel releases until people alarmingly realized that…
6th Grade US, early 70s. We made fake checkbooks, we were given an income, had a small school store to spend it, had to balance checking and savings accounts. Learned about S&P 500 and looking up stocks, only avail. in…
Michigan has Proposal A, which limits property tax rise to inflation (or something close), until sold when it reverts to the current valuation. IIRC, it is exactly to counter throwing older people out of their homes,…
Agreed on the coherer, and on the motor-generator combos, but that seemed to be later than 1916? I understand that the coherers hated the broad spectrum of the spark-gap, so who knows?
On page 89 in the book Marconi's remote controlled boat doesn't talk about the transmitter (that I saw), but used a coherer as a receiver detector, something like a primitive diode I think. But if so, they probably used…
I don't disagree, but where I saw it begin was approx. +25 years ago when business started demanding degrees for jobs that had previously had no requirement, and for career advancement, as well as refusing on the job…
Education, educated IS work, and profitable, but apparently not the kind of preferred work. Just wondering aloud, how will Mr Trump satisfy the wealthy, wall street, and the fiscally conservative to do prevailing-wage…
Thanks you for the reply. Your rigid definition of GDP is only one of many models. GDP(I) and GDP are similar and should be exact but because of statistical and measurement defects, they are not. But GDP(I) does in fact…
I mispoke; GDP == taxable transactions. If it was taxable (privatized), it would increase the GDP, whereas if not (as if the government performed and didnt tax it), it would not increase the GDP.
Taxes are included in the GDP income method, which is why taxing even air (even if free) would increase GDP. The OECD defines GDP as "an aggregate measure of production equal to the sum of the gross values added of all…
I understand GDP as "taxable transactions".
I disagree (I think); I recently went to the Henry Ford where it has been transformed into a "learning place", where they present a narrative, catering to strolling through, the ambiance (and restaurants). The Henry…
Thanks for that; that was so difficult for then young, untrained me to get my head around, as well as reading the Amiga Reference Manuals - it was all so foreign.
The A2000 was in it's heyday, I think; you would see most of those commands (or their equiv) with an Amiga A2000 with the Amiga LANCE ethernet board A2065 and AS225 TCP/IP option, or maybe even the Amiga UNIX; there was…
Well, to start with, the zeitgeist of the times - https://dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/handle/1/8846774/Wall.htm... Then you can look at the consumer complaints to the US Government which spurred Congressional hearings in…
The regulation wasn't there because it was a thoughtful idea; it was implemented because there were real, loud, consumer complaints about how much fat/lean ratio was in bacon in a hidden container, IIRC.
I seem to recall people (felt they) couldn't identify leaner bacon or some felt they were being ripped off because not enough lean, just fat. All about the time, IIRC, that fat had began to be loudly vilified by the…
Bacon packages may seem of no consequence, but let me say kindly, just like Labor unions, there was a very real reason for these regulations to exist. Such things saved all of our rear ends until maybe today. A child of…
