so how does the Japanese raw denim industry compare to US/China?

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 o…

What does "goofy message passing architecture to get polymorphism and inheritance" mean?

> Where is the support for the citizens? Why should citizens be treated differently when H1Bs pay the same income and other taxes as citizens? H1Bs even pay into social security, e…

Not to mention the C8 fiasco in WV, courtesy DuPont.

Windows 10 isn't free, only the upgrade (from 7/8/8.1) is, and it's a limited time offer.

Have any of the major players (Geico?) signed on? Do they feel threatened by Goog Compare?

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.

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'…

No it's not trolling. I just want to see if a human's workload on space missions can be replaced by a set of sensors and robots. > Primarily, the reason to send humans is because w…

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 pr…

I like the "Delbert" at the extreme right of the spectrum.
