A lot of blame-trump-copium, itt

this has been happening before anyone even thought trump would run: in 2015 trudeau ran on cancelling the f35 purchase. So what did obama do to canadians?

Unskilled labor yes there's a surplus, but many skilled industries face large shortages.

>Surely there is enough accumulated capital to pay for the things you mention with higher wage

Then hyperinflation will eat it up. And I'm not a finance guy but isn't a big portion of wealth just on paper? Hypothetically, Microsoft share price could go to 0. And then stocks are owned by pension plans and state debt financing -- future debt that also requires constant new input, at some point wont many governments go bankrupt?

Some interesting details to consider that I haven't seen mentioned in the usual hn discussions.

eg. Cities failing, no revenue or employees to keep electric, water, sewer, police, etc., infrastructure funded.

Canada must integrate with USA and help subsidize advanced tech, not freeload and nickle&dime it's giant landmass defense as it has been for decades.

This shitshow's been going on long enough

While girls are looking at planet alignments and star constellations for zodiac signs, we nerds get hi-tech informed astrology... complete with a horoscope at the end, hehe.

Would be interesting if they also recorded steroid hormone contraceptive use by the women, and perhaps their menstrual cycle phase.

There seems to be some dispute whether strong daily doses alter preferences.

How about making it submit the "off" value while you're at it? So I wouldn't need js hacks for arrays of checkboxes on forms.

idk, hard to believe that with spellcheckers being built into every text editor, the post is riddled with errors. Very sloppy or almost intentional.

This is something I really hate in KDE- you choose date/time formats with a dropdown of flags, and it doesn't even give you a preview of the short format, so you have to cycle through hundreds of options and click-click-click each to find what you want, when all that's needed is [Language] + [yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM]* (or whatever) format string.

there are far fewer format options than countries, so this is an exercise in frustration

I'm saying that there are real differences between men and women and what they look for in a mate, and what ultimately matters over a timespan >1 generation is who is making more babies, because without that preliminary step nothing else matters.

The 'ground truth' is biology and genetics. Women are attracted to men with certain characteristics. Only women can have children. Men are aggressive and fight wars and impregnate women.

If you're not reproducing>2 and want to be a creature of pure intellect that's great; you get one generation to fart around. Meanwhile the traditional religious conservatives shall inherit the earth.

your theory does not match reality, and it's a political movement. As pointed out in TFA gandhi was killed by a (fellow?) hindu nationalist in 1948 because gandhi was in favor of giving part of india to muslims

Most jobs I've had require some dealing with the other. Knowing the differences and how to handle the interfaces would be a requirement for either position.

I'd certainly prefer to hire someone with both tools available, to use where appropriate, not a religious ideologue obstinately refusing to consider anything that's unpure.
