As Ricardo's comparative advantage would say: Not everyone is fit to handle a start-up, nor should they be pushed to it by policies making every other condition second-class.

Of course, that may not fly well with some.

Given that the Tesla is just a very large & powerful golfcart by performance, it's not going to make the sounds typically made by cars.

That's something that will have to be addressed some time down the road when it's possible to get an American-sized (read: something Chrysler-sized) alternative fuel car that costs the same as its conventionally-fueled brethren. Faking it only works if you remove every other option (see Ford and Eco-Boost).

Still wouldn't excuse it on cars that replace displacement/cylinders with air.

If the engine can't do it, faking it with air or noise won't help.

1: That any SSD's available for the platform aren't bottlenecked
2: That the machine in question has the room to hold both drives
3: That SSD's have no issues with write times, space allocation, or the like.

Physical drives are here to stay given that they don't rely on those three assumptions to exist.

Apparently you've not heard of the world of contract labor. Staffing agencies, and all other equivalent forms of contingent labor are the employer's version of the union.

This is due to:
* Employer pays dues to agency for a set pool of workers
* Agency organizes workers
* Businesses gain labor-union style of protections from workers

If anything, this is a case where Right to Work should be applied, so that workers are not bound by conditions of employment to go with some form of contingent/temporary/etc. employment.

Nice, but it relies on unreliable sources to make these assumptions. When they can do it without handling improperly disclosed material, perhaps they might have a point.

The silver lining of it is that these individuals won't be getting clearances anytime soon.

Ford stopped being an American car company about when Mulally decided to eviscerate every single American car platform from the lineup, replace them with Eurotrash, and then put the abomination of Eco-Boost on every engine (including the Mustang).

General Motors is less so, but can still be considered American for what has been left alone. However, that isn't much given the amount of captive imports(Cruze, Sonic) and entirely converted divisions(e.g. the Opel^W Buick division).

About the only car company left that has mainly stayed American in the face of international pressure is Chrysler. Fiat has wisely kept them American without falling to environmentalist pressure to go Eurotrash.

If you're wondering, I've driven/owned mostly from those three. Not interested in something that sounds and operates like an oversized lawn mower.

Some of the features of the US system that make it more permissive:
  Highly permeable education tracks - moving between each is performance based(and sometimes not even that), not specifically test-based.
  Three named tracks exist(Honors/AP,Regular,Remedial), but all provide the same opportunity to access post-secondary education.
  Post-secondary options provide the same opportunity to all participants - a 4 year degree.

In short, one test score at one point in your life won't determine the rest of your life, unlike about every other nation in the world.

When Glass is available in a full and free form for the Rest of Us, then maybe some of this might be of good use. It seems like about every interesting use is being removed from it until it is turned into something that pales in comparison to the developer units.

Of course, some Glasshole (or a few of them) would take that as a personal offense instead of responding to the top shortcoming of Glass - lack of general availability.

The only way that PISA results can ever make sense is if you understand their primary flaw: they do not control for admissions standards and thus penalize more open admission systems (like the US), versus more closed admissions systems (about everywhere else, namely Europe and Asia).

As for assembling a computer from the parts up, it would require a lot more than one might think.

The only entities recognizing it are with Russia. The rest of the world sees it for what it is, Russian-occupied Ukraine.

Such a case seems ironic given that this is the same university that was (recently) involved in a scandal related to such crime.

Not everyone is more suited to running a business than working for one. Taking your advice would be worse than taking Corley's.
