From what I know, all the blue collar labor is imported, and the Saudis don't work that much (or at all?). So, there is no worry of generations of workers getting trained etc.

Can someone tell me what problem it solves that other architectures don't? All I see is a lot of buzzwords and very little technical details on why it is better...

I don't understand this about healthcare in the USA. Why not import a few thousand doctors from Asia through H1Bs, and drive down the cost of medical care? Remove artificial caps on licenses imposed by the AMA while at it.

I don't think it was a teaching job...really low teaching loads at Harvard. More of a research job.

Could you explain what you mean by "deal with infrequent flyers at security"? What exactly do infrequent flyers do wrong?

Maybe it depends on the song as well? Classical music is supposed to have a much greater frequency spectrum - meaning, the effects of MP3 encoding becomes apparent when played on high fidelity equipment.

24/192 flac as opposed to 16 bit flac. flac/mp3 is about compression, bits and khz are about sampling/representation.

That's great, but volunteering for adventure etc. should best be left to private enterprises. When NASA is funded by taxpayer money, the goal should be science and not adventure.

That's interesting. I'll try to look for a human vs. robot comparison.

by induscreep 12y ago
Adventure is kind of a selfish goal, considering that only one or two humans get to enjoy the experience. All those resources and manpower is a waste if the rest of humanity doesn't benefit from it. It's perfectly OK for a rich bi

What exactly is the need to send humans to Mars? Why not robots? Is it worth risking a human's life for science, when a robot can do an equally good job?

I don't understand what everyone is up in arms about. H1B visas increases the supply of programmers. You don't exactly need a CS degree to be a programmer, so there are a lot of programmers. If people are complaining that H1B visa

What I don't understand is that this sort of thing happens between other sectors - for example, 'defense dollars could be used to provide healthcare', or 'subsidies could be used to pay teachers more and improve schools&

I saw discussion about this on reddit. The top comment noted that kids sit on the couch (and do not need move) while playing this video game - so it's not clear how this video game helps. I guess it's a very bad idea that also was

Open access can be mutually independent of "selective" for a journal. How readers access a journal has nothing to do with the pedigree and the quality of the articles it publishes.

A solution would be for universities to host the journals. They can hire salaried staff for proof reading/marketing etc. Scientists can volunteer for peer review. The journal can be as selective as it wants. Once an article is accepted
