aircraft carriers are already obsolete. You just can't hide from satellites. In the first major war they are going to be the first things sunk. Their carrier group isn't going to be able to stop 2000 guided missiles shot from 1000s of miles away. And if that doesn't work, they will just shoot a nuke into the middle of the group. Or under the group.

Comment people don't understand things (Score 1) 255

People in that generation just don't understand technology dangers. They just don't grasp the whole an email is a master key thing. They don't understand why the NSA reading emails is like having a cop read your post office mail, why your online life is your life. How it is so easy to go from email + name to having someones SSN and then address then credit in their name.

Right? No not literately. besides the bottom of the programming market is about to fall through once the rest of the worlds children catch up. It looks like they were about 10 years behind in having kids grow up with computers. Those days are long behind. I fucking hate techogly in grade school, give them paper and penicls and have them write and do math for years in-till they are masters at it. That is all. Does anyone realize there are about a million other jobs besides programming? Does anyone realize 99% of companies use the same software?

This is bad data in so many ways. The first one is in the summary. You never ever compare wages or companies across industries and expect anything but nonsense numbers. I want to know if female CEOs in home health care make more than male CEO companies in home health care for example. There are other problems here, like using 'revenue per employee' as a useful number. This is beyond ridiculous. Male hating feminists used these techniques to distort and widen the media reported wage gap for years.

You might have also heard this: "25% of women in college will be raped. " Another completely false bad data point. Using bad reporting and a bad definition of rape. I grew up around this male hating culture that told me I and every male was a rapist and other male hate attacks, I heard this starting in the 90s. Fuck you FUD spreading. Here is a fun fact; most feminist organizations are staffed with lesbians. I've looked into this, true story. One day the vast majority of women are going to regret selling themselves out to a minority hate group.

Comment Every job is like this now (Score 1) 170

There is just not lots of good work around anymore. Even fed ex drivers are independent contractors that don't get any benefits or company paid unemployment services. So everyone in those jobs are fighting to get the few better jobs, driving everything down. There is good work around, but it's so limited, even middle class work is becoming a elitist circle. Those inside the circle just don't get how many more people are outside it now. "I'm making 80k out of college, you can too" is just not true for the vast majority of people.

You have been lied to your whole lives. People still try to tell me dietary fat becomes body fat in big amounts. People still try to tell me certain fats are bad for you, such as saturated fat when the only bad fat is transfat which you rarely find in nature. protip: There is no such thing as an essential fructose.

It's really a failure of politics too thou. Back in the 60s a major 8 country study was done that showed fatter diets caused heart problems, except later we found out he had data from 20 countries but only used the data that fit his model. Heart problems it seemed were actually caused by consistent inflammation which was more a sign of lack of exercise. protip: margarine is much worse for you then real butter, in several ways

So the government tried to get fat out of foods, which they thought would mean people would eat more veggies, but snacks just changed from high fat to high sugar "hey look! this food is low fat" except the sugar spikes your insulin, causing most of the calories to be stored as fat. I still hear myths like a a calorie is just a calorie, or low calorie diets are good for you. protip:exercise requires calories. I mean just look at all the people buying lowfat milk, which is mostly milk suger with all the healthy fat taken out.

another example is the whole wheat sensitivity wave, when really it is mostly the additives that make the bread shelve stable for 2 weeks that are bad for you.

Then you'd better offer a lot of free Mountain Dew and Nerf toys.

I never understood the whole cratering to infantile tastes like nurf balls and free drinkable corn syrup candy in the lobbies. The best engineers are not highschool wiz kids, sorry. I'd rather work with adults. If you want to be awesome, look at stuff like Disney washing your car and dropping the keys in your office and delivering your dry cleaning really fast.

If you are responsible to the shareholders to be stewards of their investments, you have to take whatever measures you can to avoid heavier than necessary taxes. Hence people park their money off American shores.

Oh pleaseeee. Where is your sense of civics? If they want to live and work and raise kids in Colombia, then let them. But they want to live in the United States with US citizenship, that made it's self powerful with a expensive navy, that provided a stable government, that gave them peace of mind, etc, etc. Then live with American higher taxes. It's not like the shareholders are going to be staving. And sense only the mega corps can afford these tax havens anyways, it's really just another way to be anti-free market, by playing by different rules. It's people like you that will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.
