The GP is correct. To display most things you do not need javascript.

For most things there is little reason to use javascript. High bandwidth then reloading the page is not slow. If you have low bandwidth then initially loading the few hundred k of random javascript is slow and it tends to behave badly. (let alone the random adds that you will force on people (guessing your type))

Have you seen how much it costs to become a graduate of anything in the US?
Perhaps the High tech companies should start training people. Even starbucks can train people to make coffee. Coding to the standard these companies seem to want is not that expensive and they may earn some loyalty.

Acctually it would be quite funny to have to use a code editor similar to wordperfect just to have the "display codes F4" popup to show the hidden meaning of all the whitespace :)

Part of the concept of writing is to make meaning unambiguous. It is a very hard problem even in mathematics which is pure in and of its self (unlike spoken language). Over thousands of years it was figured out how basic algebra could be communicated well. How precedent worked. How to present it without ambiguity (more complex math still has specialized peculiarities) and now someone wants to fiddle with that using hidden characters? Do they even know how many non visible characters are in Unicode?

There are many such organisations.
Be careful though as many have many more than one side to them. The lobbying is not necessarily what joe public thinks it is and is not necessarily what the companies paying into it think it is. The NRA is a prime example.

Why do politicians get good pensions and health care and if high up security for decades after they have left office? Hrmm.

Being sarcastic.

That looks like a very very good return on investment :)

Bing. The bell rings and we have a winner. Not a very astute one as this is pretty much copypasta but sort of proves the point I suppose.

Also think of reducing the health care costs of older or retired soldiers. Hip/knee/shoulder replacements. They do not have to have been blown up of shot or anything violent.

Bones are not living. They are host to lots of living stuff but they are dead. There is lots of research and practice into building 3D frameworks for your body to grow back into. Not all three D printing is little plastic doodahs.

The manual does not even hint at why the experimental strong spaces may be a good idea. As far as I can tell they are a way to confuse people.

People do not learn arithmetic that way for a very good reason. You can't write it down reliably. I would claim that anything you cannot write down or write as plain HTML (as we are in the interweb era) is sort of broken.

Thats NIMH.

I'm not sure where you are going with that. Both rovers are still active even if one is stuck. The solar panels seem to work for them even if there have been issues wrt dust on them. Curiosity is Nuclear powered as it is much much larger and has vastly larger power requirements to even move let alone perform experiments.

"The perverse effect of permitting police to go ahead with a mistaken reading of the law, she wrote, is to prevent or delay clarification of the law "
And it is a good point. If the police can just say "I did not understand the law in question" where are the rest of us left?

Facts are facts. If you decide that they are bad then you will not have much fun in life, perhaps you should look at the upside and what you learned from those facts. Even if the rocket breaks up and plummets into the ocean there is information there that may be useful for your perfect landing criteria.

Only one of the goals is to land perfectly. Gosh who would have thought that there may be more than one goal.

Many liquid fuelled rockets never run until they run out of fuel. They are shut off at the appropriate time/place/velocity. So there tends to be fuel "left over" anyway. Now the total mass of one of these 1st stage rockets is primarily fuel/oxidiser. They do not mass much without anything in them. So trying to land it is not quite as expensive as you may think if you take into account the left overs. I presume they are going with the "If there is not enough fuel left let it burn" approach. Sort of trimming the margins to make sure it gets up but possibly it will not get down but should if it all goes well.
