The number of figures is pretty irrelevant when you factor in cost of living.

1. Find a job with an employer who will sponsor your visa. 2. Buy a plane ticket.

They don't and the pay is fine. Don't act like a d** and you'll be fine.

They're great while things work. If shit hits the fan, there's no support.

They didn't mention that so I assume they're more generally referring to the claims made in the article.

Interestingly, the guy who presents the counterpoints starts by saying he didn't read the book.

> And I have not read Count Down yet, though it's on my to-do list.

This if often claimed but there seems to be no evidence for it. If anything, all efforts to change humans using social techniques have failed. Take gay conversion therapy, for instance. It just doesn't work. There is no evidence for it. We just can't mold ourselves using social pressure -- because it's really down to biology.

Well, at the current rate of decline, it could.

> what is the actual relationship between lower sperm count and fewer children? I mean, you have maybe 2-3 children and millions of sperm, surely they are not linearly related.

Indeed they are far from it. If you "only" ejaculate a few million, you are practically infertile. Even with reproductive assistance like IUI, the chance of conception is something like 1% at a level of 2 million sperm post wash (i.e. when they've selected the most viable sperm).

If anything there are already too many guidelines.

(1) Try to be nice. (2) Don't be an a*hole.

Looks like it. Also from the article:

"One study published in 2017 found that sperm levels among men in Western countries had dropped by more than 50% over the past four decades after examining 185 studies involving close to 45,000 healthy men."

By the same line of reasoning, your customers could be faulted for believing you had a contingency plan.

> Our sites have been down for 3 hours now, and you're blaming someone else?

Well if the issue is at Google then maybe "blaming" isn't really the right word. No need to be rude.

I might as well make the same argument for your sites.

- Your sites have been down for 3 hours now, and you're blaming someone else?

> As a general rule, if you’ve served your time, then you’ve repaid your debt to society and should no longer be punished.

If you served your time, you spent the amount of time in prison that the judge decided you should spend in prison. That's it. There is no repayment. There does not have to be any reparation, remorse or consistency to the punishment.

> Having employers apply extra-judicial punishment to those how have already been sentenced and and served their time is kinda barbaric

You probably don't want the pedophile repeat offender to work at your daughters kindergarten. He has no right to be there and he is unsuitable. Not getting a job is not punishment.

There may very well be, but intelligence agencies don't want to expose their capabilities.
