IT or STEM? I find that people in government are too dissociated from reality to know the difference. "Who are they? Oh yeah, those boffin people or whatever."

Id love to see the breakdown on where they came up with this number.
1. Lobbyist sticks pipe up some presidential ass
2. Blows smoke about the STEM crisis OMG!!!!
???
4. Wages driven down --> Profit
I was recently presented with a job description that included a lot of web dev. stuff like Angular as well as niche EE dev. experience in the VHDL language. This was a former DJIA listed company. It was completely baffled but let the recruiter submit me for the job just for kicks (I'm an EE). Needless to say I "wasn't qualified" for the job.
When I see this crap it's a signal to run away fast. It's clear that the the person who wrote the job description is a clueless moron and the person who approved it is too. One of them probably works in HR and such confusion would be partially understandable but the other must be the manager you'd be working under.
The SIGINT satellites with the sensitivity to pick up the sort of transmissions from the plane's transponders have steerable antennas that must be pointed in the vicinity of the target to get a usable signal. Unless you come up with an elaborate conspiracy theory where the US planned this whole thing, that couldn't have happened.
The irony is that it is patently un-American to ban things that do no harm to others and yet these politicians have all taken an oath to uphold the constitution and will claim to be the most diligent patriots ever.
The Lisa's rectangular pixels would have made the design process problematic.
20 miles out is still dense and urban
Depending on what direction you go.
Westinghouse, not GE.
Implement a turtle-based drawing API and build a curriculum that introduces programming concepts with turtle graphics.
It would also help to have mandatory, accurate caller ID that can't be spoofed or monkeyed with.
If anyone did this nowadays they'd be facing 20 years minimum.
I miss Google Maps. The laggy pile of trash they have now makes me go to Bing when I want to map things out now.
We all have a timeline already. Acxiom has been tracking electronic spending and any other records they can get a hold of since 1969. Every adult in a first world country who isn't living off grid is tracked. Your profile is meticulously maintained and sold off to whoever wants it. They can infer women's menstrual cycles and let marketers know the best time to send targeted ads when they are most likely to have success. That is just the tip of the iceberg of the way these big data companies can influence your life.
The Middle East doesn't want or even understand the idea of absolute freedom. They want absolute control and will pay lip service to "Democracy" to maintain the illusion of freedom. Sort of like what the clowns running the US have done.
Looks fit to be Neelixed or Quarked though.
With your bare hands?!?
