A lot of these organizations are going under in a short time frame, and I think its funding drying up from people who gave them a cash infusion after having been sold a bill of goods about internet magazines and social media clickbaiting.
Kinda reminds me of the Dot Com boom when ignorant investors were sold a host of bullcrap about the internet.

Oh, c'mon man! I have been supporting these kind of causes for years. I remember during the Civil Rights marches, after a long day of facing down fire hoses and police dogs, Marty King and I would go to a karaoke bar. He loved it when I sang that Curtis Mayfield song, "People Get Ready, There's a Choo Choo coming".
We can all make the world a better place through song and interpretive dance. I'm going to make it a Cabinet Department.

I finally figured out why that doesn't happen. Media jobs are largely concentrated in major cities and what that means is the people who work in the media have little to no contact with each other outside of their jobs. They don't live in the same neighborhoods. They're kids don't go to the same schools. They don't attend the same churches or social organizations.
So when media people lose their jobs, it's like they just disappear and the ones still employed can remain in denial about the situation because it's like the fired folks just vanish from the face of the Earth. Which is something these Think Progress people are going to experience first hand.

Trying to unionize your workforce when your company is circling the toilet = dumb. Lets freeze employee compensation & benefits and dictate work rules at the time when a company needs the most flexibility to survive.
Posted by: Liberty at September 06, 2019 04:13 PM (BvMja)
Unionization at press outlets is usually an attempt to avoid being fired, either for cause (reporters revolt against the publisher, Santa Barbara News Press vs Wendy McCaw), or like with TP as a side effect of the business running out of money.
I didn't say it was a SMART way to go, but that's generally what happens.

(To the tune of Let It Be)
When I find my code in tons of trouble,
Friends and colleagues come to me,
Speaking words of wisdom:
"Write in C."
As the deadline fast approaches,
And bugs are all that I can see,
Somewhere, someone whispers:
"Write in C."
Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, oh, Write in C.
LOGO's dead and buried,
Write in C.
I used to write a lot of FORTRAN,
For science it worked flawlessly.
Try using it for graphics!
Write in C.
If you've just spent nearly 30 hours
Debugging some assembly,
Soon you will be glad to
Write in C.
Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, yeah, Write in C.
Only wimps use BASIC.
Write in C.
Write in C, Write in C
Write in C, oh, Write in C.
Pascal won't quite cut it.
Write in C.
Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, yeah, Write in C.
Don't even mention COBOL.

"Not at all," he told France 24's Vincent Roux. "I've worked with hundreds of actresses, not one of them has ever complained about me; not a single complaint. I've employed women in the top capacity for years and we've always paid them the equal of men.
"I've done everything the MeToo movement would love to achieve."

2. C
3. C++
4. RPG-III
5 Fortran
6. BASIC

Run out of fuel a few seconds before touchdown. Hit hard enough to damage the upper stage motor, but not hard enough to completely crunch the lander.

I happened to be watching (it was kind of a fluke thing). It seemed to be coming in at the wrong angle towards the end - falling short - and when it got to an altitude of about 400m, the data stopped coming in for some reason.
If it had crashed, you would expect the data to stop at 0m, not 400m, and they still seem to be talking about what might have transpired.
So I'm not sure if they even know that it actually crashed. Where did THAT come from?
Really, I find the whole thing a little disturbing. It has a "meet your new masters" feel to it, and these are the guys who brought you the Caste System (has it really gone away completely?)

If you asked me in the 90s, I would have absolutely told you we would have a moon colony of some type before I died.
Now ? I don't think so. I think we're going to regress. I think we have to, and probably need to. Our tech has outpaced our politics. We're going to have to correct that balance - by giving up one to advance the other.

Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to rest in peace.
These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.
These two men are laying down their lives in mankind's most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.
They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.
In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man.
In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.
Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man's search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.
For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.

Well, it's not like they were flying it like a drone, where you need a pilot. It would be able to operate autonomously. All we really know is that the comm link is down, which leaves a number of possibilities open.
Obviously, losing your comm link is enough to make you look "not happy". Makes you frustrated and worried. Even if it didn't crash, the mission is pretty much a failure, if you can't get that link back.

That's a long song (especially for 1959) -- good for a DJ smoke or bathroom break. The wisdom among old-timer DJs was, that when you heard "Something is dreadfully wrong, for I feel / A deep burning pain," it was time to get back to the console.

The curly CFLs are good for nothing but proper disposal. Don't break them or throw them in the garbage unless you know the're non-mercury (not Freddie). Beyond anything else they're fragile.
There are many good screw/plug-in LEDs thse days. They're not stupdendously expensive but their advantage over glowing-filament incandescent is dependent on how often/long they're operated.

Maybe in the 1950's, this would have been a boon for our side, but just about every modern CEO is a virtue signaling douchebag that wants to impress his wife's friends.

But they're cheap, and that's good for po' folks. And as noted above their light is better for reading.

No no, the new plan is FLUCK old people, we're supposed to die. We're full of old evil America thinking, we're cluttering up the job market, and we're taking the money out of systems we paid into for 50 years and won't be leaving any for the people who've only been paying in for 5 or haven't paid into at all!
We gotta go!

Yup. Replaced all bulbs with leds 4 years ago. They all still work and have paid for themselves.
Now I'm saving money every month.

Yeah. If they'd waited a few years LEDs would've eventually won anyway. I love that I get 60 watts of light for under 10 watts of power bill.

Too late, as intended, the incandescent ban killed the manufacturing industry in the USA. Whatever you buy now is made in a fourth world hell hole with slave labor and an average lifetime measured in weeks to months, not years!

Challenger blew up because of a well known problem that everyone blew off because the problem hadn't killed anyone yet.
Columbia burned through because of "environmentally friendly" heat shield tiles that replaced the older, better tiles.
Space is hard, but it's impossible if you've decided to be fucking stupid.

Thank you. That is much better than running down to the store to pick up a bulb for 49 cents like I had been doing for 30 years.
Only the government could solve the problem of having a very cheap way to light a room.
Posted by: SH at September 06, 2019 05:09 PM (sX1BW)
The only thing that LED bulbs fail at is making heat they last longer are more efficient than the old incandescent bulbs and they are getting better while dropping in price. I really do like them.
Posted by: USNtakim at September 06, 2019 05:10 PM (0OmEj)
Close. The tiles were the same. But the insulating foam on the external tank was changed to something environmentally friendly which also happened to be hard enough to wreck the tiles when it flaked off.

Had 5 25 watt chandelier bulbs i replaced with 3.5 watt leds.

And no accident of that nature ever happened again. That's what solving a problem looks like: when you fix it, it stays fixed.
