Or send in a robot. Japan should be able to find a robot.

o the government lies

o corporations lie

o hiring practices favor imported, low-cost labor

o older, sicker technical people are treated as unemployable and fireable if already in place

o arbitrary degree requirements place artificial barriers between employment and many technical people

o HR departments operate by rote and bean-counting, not "find a great employee"

o congress sets the immigration rules for imported tech labor

o congress is wholly corrupt and beholden to corporate direction via funding pressures

If you want to be truly successful, you'd better cultivate some creativity and start your own thing. The employment situation is horrible and constantly getting worse, with no end in sight. And if anyone thinks an artificially inflated number of STEM grads is going to do anything to alleviate any of this, they're out of their minds. The slope is only getting steeper.

1800 millisieverts is a dose, not a level. It's as basic a mistake as confusing feet with feet per second.

From other sources, it's a logical guess that what's meant is millisieverts per hour but an article should not make the reader guess what it means.

This leak is analogous to reporting "The US recruits spies". Nobody knows whether their networks are compromised or what to look for.

The kind of leak that hurts a country's covert operations is more like "The US pays Kim Jong Un's barber to make him look ridiculous".

If they have really developed software which can do that, they should share their techniques with the commercial world. Software that can continue to run even after a system upgrade? Sign me up.

Didn't we spend a lot of money on a space station to allow just that?

(Sorry, couldn't resist).

Complete enforcement of every law on the books is impossible. Making choices is inevitable.

With a hundred quatloos to spend, it is better management to spend a hundred deterring sales to minors than to split it between protecting children and harassing adults.

Making choices consistent with the will of the people and with states's rights seems like a good idea.

Drop from 22,000 miles: terminal velocity will be different than if you drop from 1 mile. So will several other things, like the temperature of the object, and the cost of the experiment. :)

then they're putting everyone at risk for mumps and rubella, both with reproductive implications.

yes, wasn't talking about python. Was talking about perl.

perl. Go ahead, show me a reasonable 2d (or more) array in perl, lol. I don't think you can do it.

in python, there's nothing to it, trivial to do and trivial to access. Not in perl, or at least, it hasn't been.

it's trivial in python. It's an incredible hoop jump in perl.

There's something of a difference between "hey, look, some guy in a neat car" and "John Q. Private is currently at mile marker 23 on highway 2, proceeding at 65 mph in an easterly direction, with 100 miles of range remaining."

Well, terminal velocity will depend on two factors: The ultimate wind resistance of its tumbling chassis, and how high it is above the ground when you drop it.

Maybe the project could treat it for tax purposes as one of those things where donors get something of value in return, which I believe is legal for 501(c)3s (DO NOT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT).
