Skills Shortage: The situation in which employers find themselves victimized by price gouging by employees with said skill in the form of demands for higher than minimum wage for temporary employment.

Anyone who watches movies knows about the blond bad-guy and the blonde goddess. This blond gene apparently has pleiotropic effects that make men disgusting scum-of-the-earth and women the object of every man's desire.

Strange how that works.

The question on everyone's mind that no one is willing to openly state:

Will this article get Arthur Chu a woman?

Oh wait, that can't happen because men who go to prison and start engaging in homosexual activity are clearly doing so because they were simply sexually repressed homosexuals before being liberated by prison life.

Spreadsheets make code review difficult. The code is hidden away in dozens if not hundreds of little cells If you are not reviewing your code carefully and if you make it difficult for others to review it, how do expect it to be reliable?

I agree with this assessment which is why the algae macroengineering part of the Diogenes Institute's comprehensive plan for energy independence and the environment was done with a customization of Mediawiki that lets each "cell" be a compete document with the value taken by the model, the formula and comments with citations.

The "cell" identifiers are complete names suffixed with the units in which the quantity is expressed.

See The full "spreadsheet" page for an idea of how this plays.

...the reason the Mill CPU hasn't gotten VC funding.

This was their opportunity to dominate the CPU market with the MIll CPU architecture and they blew it.

See, the funny thing is that this already exists. It's called cjdns, and it's a protocol for a decentralized internet where individual nodes connect with other nodes via public keys. We're* already building a not-yet-global network of wifi and lasers, it's called Hyperboria. You can read the cjdns white paper here: https://github.com/cjdelisle/c...

Cool!

Just have a different public key for each service whether they are on the same machine or not. Every public key is a "port" into the service space.

You shouldn't be connecting with "host IPs" but with services addressed with their public keys.

U233 is the limiting resource for starting a thorium economy.

Dumping it is a good way to kill LFTR as an energy source.

The individualist culture of the United States is being intolerant of other cultures centered on the extended family. We should refuse to tear these households apart in the name of nationalism. Extended families are the norm in the most populous cultures and, indeed, extend to the size that we might think of as an entire country. So let's just invite the entirety of Asia into the US and admit that this land was made for you and me!

They had a freak show featuring the conehead family.

One more target for EMP.

Race: "Race is a classification system used to categorize humans into large and distinct populations or groups by anatomical, cultural, ethnic, genetic, geographical, historical, linguistic, religious, and/or social affiliation."

This study is enabling not only genetic but geographical distinctions. The connective "and/or" is synonymous with the logic connective "or" which is inclusive.

Racist: "Some definitions consider that any assumption that a person's behavior would be influenced by their racial categorization is inherently racist, regardless of whether the action is intentionally harmful or pejorative, because stereotyping necessarily subordinates individual identity to group identity."

While it is true that, in itself, mere genetic distinctions do not imply any distinctions in behavior, it is also true that if one finds genes influence behavior (which one can clearly see in the distinctions between species) then one can reasonably impute that there will be statistically significant distinctions in behavioral predispositions between genetically distinguishable groups. This "reasonable imputation" does not have to be proven or shown to be the case to be applicable in practical everyday life for the average person -- it merely needs to be not disproven to that average person.
