Learning from history and still ending up on the side of almost every issue that is considered unspeakably cruel a generation later.

Slavery, segregation, women’s suffrage, child labor protections, labor rights, Social Security, interracial marriage, homosexuality, civil rights legislation, same-sex marriage, the Vietnam War, the Iraq War, prohibition, environmental protections, public education expansion, healthcare reform, voting rights expansion, immigration rights, disability rights, reproductive rights, minimum wage laws, workers’ compensation laws.

This sounds like a non true scotsman. If large societies buying into a story doesn’t qualify it as a success, what does? M

Im just someone interested in geospatial. Im a regular SWE. Seems like <1% of SWE jobs have even a nominal geospatial element like putting pins on a map.

Any tips in general? Not just for breaking in but what you wish you knew

Safe relative to what?

Being a Venetian banker or Chinese tea exporter wasnt that safe. What about prospecting for gold in Colorado river valleys where bears hang out? Moving trains of camels thru the Sahara? Chasing whales around for years at a time without going home.

Today is way better.

I don't think OP is arguing in bad faith.The fact is it's unclear what laws this legal argument is supported by.

Yes this sounds like the best of both worlds tbh. Id like to find a list of companies which have this.

Interesting that galaxies can collide without a star hitting another star.. but would it also be that the distances are so vast that the stars dont even (or mostly dont even) affect each other?
