Comment: Put it on your resume cover letter (Score 4, Interesting) 415

If you put what you wrote on the heading of your resume and sent it to some startup companies (or VC of those startups) you'll get attention.

Now, if your tired of telling people basic concepts because you're an arrogant ass, well, you'll get attention and be shown the door. If you're a person who has passion for good work, have done good work, and are willing to try something new with a similar passion, entrepreneurs will notice.

Whether the attention is good or bad is up to your attitude but put what you wrote in the header and you'll show you have balls, which is exactly what's lacking but needed most in many of the applicants I see for a startup company.

Short sighted thinking and way to make the injured feel second class.

What if I am an able bodied person and I want these improvements because they are better than my original equipment? What if, because of these exoskeletons, we may one day say "wow, those paraplegics are sooooo lucky because they get the automatic leg upgrade"

I work with a lot of injured and the last thing they need is to feel like they are waiting for yet another technology like regrowing organs.

The exoskeleton performance amplifier *is* the solution.

I went to my 20th out of morbid curiosity. So did 250 of the 400 in my graduating class as well.

The best story was the two people who had not seen each other in 20 years drunkenly decided to "get nostalgic" in a closet while their respective spouses were still at the bar. Comedic interruption occurs, followed by divorces in the following weeks.

Facebook kept the story alive for all to follow and keep dignity at a minimum.

Thank you Facebook.

Multiple laser eye surgeons assured me that there was absolutely no chance of flap movement after 14 days when I researched it.

Funny--my father in law, an ophthalmologist, makes a great living fixing the corneas of people who believed exactly what you were told.

This is why I still wear glasses. My vision is too important to leave to surgeons who say "absolutely no chance" just as I wouldn't like to fly with people who say "absolutely no chance"

"most government workers are paid less than equivalent civil sector workers"

Bull. Shit.

Do your own homework. Why let facts get in the way of your lie?

Page 1. Look at the plots on page 1. Total comp from State & local is $10/hr more than private or Civilian.

Second, according to a recent study at the University of Wisconsin/Milwaukee, education level is higher among government workers than peer private sector, so your comment of "government jobs are good for people in relatively low-skilled jobs" makes me think you're either making everything up or worse, people in government are reaching for jobs not to their ability yet wanting to be paid like they are working to their ability.

The fascinating part to me is people *knew* there was a link. It was in the literature. People with PhD's and MD's were trotted out saying to the masses "You don't have my education, my experience. This Autism link is real. Big Pharma is poisoning you"

I see a lot of similarities to Global warming ^C^C^C^C Climate Change arguments.

Many people are secretly interested in life.
