CE does it for the lulz while CN does it because fuck it, why not?

The linked article has a table that gives 1.74 uW/cm^2. However glancing over the rest of the paper there’s a ton of variability of output.

Tell me you didn’t read the articles without telling me you didn’t read the articles.

While on the one hand, that’s true and has always been true for journalism, if you’d read the articles you’d realize that the content of them does contain truth and informs.

Did you read the articles? There are no polar opposites here. You’d know this if you read the actual articles instead of going off the headlines.

I mean, both are true, they just cover different stats. You can still a large number of layoffs while still having large job growth. They also cover stats available on different days. Indeed, the second article notes that one of the stats in the first article was wrong. It also indicates that predicted stats for December and November were both underestimated. December and January were both underestimated by half. Also, the layoffs came in fields that are different than the ones that saw growth.

These articles are complimentary, not contradictory as you’d seem to indicate. Perhaps you’re just going off the titles and not actually reading the content?

I stumbled across this and I found it particularly interesting that 93 years ago the GOP was being called out for their use of this myth. It is one the GOP has continued to rely heavily on, especially in modern times. It is also interesting that this myth almost never benefited the real frontierspeople, but rather the rich industrialists from the East and Europe. I was hooked after the first paragraph,

There is no more persistent myth in American history than the myth that rugged individualism is or has been the way of American life. Many influences have entered into the creation of this myth, but the man who is chiefly responsible for its general acceptance is Frederick Jackson Turner, who, in 1893, when the western states were loud in their demands for national regulation of industry, said in his now famous Chicago address that the American frontier had promoted democracy—a democracy “‘strong in selfishness and individualism, intolerant of experience and education, and pressing individual liberty beyond its proper bounds.” Its tendency, he said, was anti-social. “It produced antipathy to control, and particularly to any direct control.” It permitted “lax business honor, inflated paper currency and wildcat banking.”*

Sure sounds like not much has changed other than the scale of the belief in this myth.

God damned sewcialists. You never know when a seamstress might strike.

That requires the people at the top to have the intelligence to hire a competent IT department and keep frequent enough back ups. This is a line of though most of American civilian leadership rejects outright. They see IT as nothing but a huge cost that can be cut at a moment’s notice and then offshored to some third world country to “save money.” A move which invariably costs them more money, but that’s next quarter’s problem.

Wait, didn’t you just describe a fair chunk of the US?

The link has an extra ‘t’ at the end. Here’s the right link

I get your anger, but if they no longer have the license to play the song, they cannot allow you to play it, even if the file is on your device. I don’t find it scummy in the least. You didn’t own the file, you were renting it from Spotify.

It’s almost like most of the time in history cutting edge tech tended to be unusable by the public until it matured enough to get businesses interested. Then they’d invest in a usability layer that was unimportant to the cutting edge research.

Lol. I think I still have a bunch of the old Slackware floppies somewhere.

I’ll tell you what they’re missing - maturity. They’re acting like a spoiled child.

For old timers like myself, Tom Baker was our first Doctor. He’s the bar by which all others are judged by us.

He is well aware. But if he did that he’d make maybe one tenth of a percent less and we can’t have that!

It looks like it came straight of a cheesy 80s B movie called Megaforce.

Won’t happen in Texas. There are so many people in this state convinced that unions are a horrible evil. Then they complain about how their job mistreats them, doesn’t pay them enough, etc, etc, etc. You know, all the problems a union fixes. These people here are the very definition of sheeple.
