What is the average education level of a SK woman? A study I read about showed a direct correlation showing the more educated the woman was, the fewer children she had. This was even starker where it was Mathematics or STEM she was educated in. I think the Taliban Moslems know this implicitly and that is why they do not allow women to get schooling. If a woman knows she has options and can get a good job, she is less likely to stay at home an have babies.

Which privacy was invaded? Was it from his phone? From the phots in the cloud? Was it the email that was sent? Was it on Google's fiber? Could the picture have been encrypted before sending to the Doctor? Or was it already in Google's clutches? Who looks at how many of your private photos? They certainly looked at the baby, did they also look at all your photos of your wife? If your GPS coordinates along a highway indicate a high rate of driving, will they call that into the police too?

He is a blithering idiot, who has read too much crappy sci-fi. He wants to give personhood to bits of code (even big bits of code). Is it the piece of code or the piece of code running on THAT machine, or that instance of the code running on that machine? Would rebooting the machine constitute murder? The person who owned the code has been wiped out.

They voted for people that made CA someplace they don't want to live in. They move to a Red State. DON"T VOTE for the same policies you moved away from! Grow up and vote like an adult. All that crap has to be paid for by people who work for a living.

The one bonus of Covid is, it is now acceptable to wear a mask in public. Wear a fresh mask, ball cap and sunglasses. Facial ID that! I would also like to make a mosquito net for over my ball cap. (global warming etc) See how the facial ID works on that.

The rich are already usually taller and healthier that average. Why not have 7ft 350 lbs with 10% body fat? All the Olympic medals will go to the genetically enhanced. Max them out - Straight 18s. If your parents cannot afford the gene cleansing, you will grow up KNOWING you are inferior. Only the best will have the best chances at upper level government positions. (communism works that way - ask China)

The IT department there, did not have firewalls setup or backups in place? A college is supposed to have smart people there. It is a shame for what this means to students who were close to graduation.

Dam failures have killed more people than any other power source. They also wreck the habitat where the lake is formed. They tend to mess with fish spawning and migration. More nukes, less kooks!

legal profession isn't as glamorous or lucrative as people imagine-- When you see a commercial say: "you will speak to a real lawyer". I means there is a law school grad with a JD and passed the bar, sitting at a small counter watching a phone, praying it will ring. They are paid about $60k to try and build up a clientele. You don't get that glamour until you have gotten a bunch of rich guys to bring you their problems. Very high burn out rate. Plenty of trouble paying back loans.

You have a crappy algorithm that uses more $$ in electricity then mining real gold would cost. So you try to hit with the Springfield will be left behind without a monorail argument.

On the other side: All that spyware the US government was/is afraid of, China WANTS in its computers. They can then know what is going on with all of its employees.

There are reasons why most of the world's launch facilities are close to the equator. Hmm I don't think Maine is. I wonder how much stock the Gov's family has in the companies that will benefit.

If you have a company, it likely uses some tech. You create a company in Ireland, where taxes are low. You then sell the tech to the Irish company for $1. Then you lease the tech back from that company for whatever profits your company makes. Your company effectively makes $0. The Irish company makes the money and pays the low Irish tax rate. It will then buy whatever you want and lease it to you for $1. You don't need to make a big salary when you lease everything.

A six week course where they teach how to Kiss Ass, Shift Blame and play Golf (sometimes badly on purpose). How to take notes and delegate work. They certainly will also teach how to be tall, white and have just the right touches of silver in your hair.

In Ye Olde Days, If you did not purchase A/C etc you would not get the equipment. You would not be carrying the weight around, you would get better mileage. With software rights, managing it, do you have the compressor and the other hardware? I seem to recall a BMW that had the pulleys etc dragging the engine even if you had not paid for it. It makes the upgrade a simple database flag and away you go.
