And its cheaper to watch someone do it. Quality timber and tools are expensive.

Experienced a river flooding due to excessive rainfall. Both on a small scale on a camping where some tents floated away, which was kind of funny because the owners had warned not to pitch the tents to close to the river.

More recently witnessed a large scale flooding last winter when large parts of the rhine flooded. There were no casualties in my region, but the damage was quite severe. Very sobering to see the death toll in the upstream regions. Also the impact to agriculture and infrastructure, with frequent rain keeping the ground fully saturated for months al the way up to summer.

Water is so vital for human civilization, and yet also very dangerous.

I am not sure that this news relates to passing the content of telegram messages to any authority. If i read it correctly it is just about sharing personal information such as ip adress, phone number etc.

Robots able to do physical labor are complex. In the incredibly immense supply chain required to built them it will be possible to sabotage multiple sections.

Alse electronics can be hurt in ways that biology is immune. Mostly electromagnetic warfare, like signal jammers etc.

I prefer not using violence. However, if the owner class is unable to care for the rest of us, we will have to take matters into our own hands.

Why is it possible for a company to sue a union? Everyone should have a right to unionize and strike.

Just like regular bikes, it depends on how the bike and car lanes are layed out. If you keep them seperate the bike is unlikely to be hit.

Except wolfram alpha is able to correctly explain step by step solutions. Which was an aid in my education.

That would be highly unusual

The effort required to keep increasing resistors in a chip is just too high at some point. And the power required to run all the chips is becoming unsustainable. Besides that, hardware companies are way over valued if you look at earnings / market cap

When they got you by the balls, do you like them to twist them too?

Standing up for worker rights is a continuous process.

That’s only really true if your salary would grow at the rate of inflation. Which is definitely not the case.

Cern has produced quite some interesting systems for software and data management. I am sure the added value of the work is beyond just understanding particles.

Seems like a beeple artwork. He makes a artwork post everyday for the last 6 years or so, often using the themes of daily conversation as a topic.

Honestly have no idea how far 100 miles is. 100 km however is not too bad.

Great username btw, would love to see AdamEatsAss post this on my corporate forum.

I majored in physics, even living in a country with a ton of technology companies. There are only so many research labs, and only very few companies want dedicated physics people. Often they just want to run a mechanical simulation known as FEM, they hire mechanical engineers for it.

Also, physics is very broad. While companies are usually looking into a specific topic. If you didnt happen to stumble in the right area of physics you might not have valuable knowledge for a company. Often a Physics education is not even focused on deepening a specific topic, but more on how to solve complex problems. In my opinion that can be applied to many problems we face today, if given the chance.

Physics education is based on the idea of a renaissance man, one who knows how everything works. Companies simply don’t care about that.

As mentioned in the article, the numbers of elephants in botswana are growing. And the large number of elephants are causing problems with the human population. You need to do something with the situation.

Pretty decent article, thanks for posting it

Looks like optimizing value for shareholders is not compatible with quality, safety, or decent working conditions. There is too much control from these useless bloodsuckers in wall street.

A 90% agreement to strike sounds pretty high. The cohesion of the union is either very strong.Or, the potential impact to the passport control job is so high.

Either way i wish them good luck!
