Yes! Thank you. Our company is moving to distributing our product as a "software appliance" -- docker, AMI, or VM image. Not only are our lives getting simpler, the product becomes more robust and is easier to install.
The title says we must hire based on skills. The summary quotes Rometty as saying "...these technologies are changing faster with times than their skills are going to change". Said another way, technology is changing faster than the workforce can adapt, therefore we cannot hire based on experience or education -- we have to hire for the skills we need. Where do these skills come from? If the workforce is not learning the new skills fast enough and education is not providing the skills, then how are people obtaining these valuable skills?
I live in Arizona and voted 'no', but my reason is a little different. State constitutions are not the right place for energy policies. The constitution should include things about the structure of government, human rights, who is allowed to vote, powers reserved for the government, and limits to those powers. What kind of ass-hat tries to stick energy policy in a constitution? We have laws for things like that.
I've thought long and hard about this problem. After wrestling with it for a few years I'm ready to support a radical shift in public education.
Use the term "math" (or "maths", depending on your version of English) to refer to arithmatic, geometry, and algebra "quantithinking classes".
Dump trigonometry and calculus from the curriculum. Replace with statistics, probability, design of experiments, and critical thinking. Call this new subject "quantitative thinking" (or whatever name you want) and give it equal billing as as language, math, science, literature, and physical education.
Posting about how important it is for school children to code has been elevated to a form of trolling. Next time you are tempted to post "Microsoft study concludes... schools... coding" or "Zuckerberg... kids... programming", stop. Think. And take your hands of the mouse.
I agree that the summary is misleading and unscientific. A more accurate the first line would read: "If you've got an unemployed, 30-year-old adult bi-value or gastropod still living in the basement, fear not."
I'm old now, but when when I was a lad my high school taught critical thinking. The term "fake news" wasn't in vogue at the time; schools used words like "fallocies" and "evidence". I feel like the principles were the same. Anyway, the idea was that you can't stop people from spewing crap, so let's teach students how separate bullshit from cogent thinking. All-in-all, I think it worked well.
I think inheritance tax can play a role in preventing oligarchic dynasties from running everything. However, 100% sounds too draconian. Having the first $5M exempt makes sense for smaller businesses that will pass from owner to inheritor. As poster Darlok points out, wealth from a business is tied up in making payroll, other operating capital, and capital for growth. When there is a big inheritance tax, the business has to liquify, borrow, or otherwise squeeze out enough money from somewhere so the new owner can pay the inheritance tax. A good inheritance tax should account for this.
I've never read Breitbart News. So I hopped over to their website just now. The head line was in large all capital letters. It declared that the Deep state was colluding with the media, soliciting anti Trump leaks.
I thought to myself, regardless of the administration or the bias of the media organization, the media is always trying to get inside information from sources both inside government and outside. So the news from Breitbart was not fake. But it was trivial and sensationalist. It was piss poor journalism.
Maybe instead of asking is it fake news, we should ask is it excrement?
It's fun to try and predict the future. Sometimes it's fun to dream up a utopian future where I finally get my flying car. Though sometimes admitting the future might be shit is cathartic. Point is, prediction is difficult. Especially about the future. The only certain thing is that people will trot out that Yogi Berra quote until the sun swallows the Earth. Here is what I know: machine learning is a powerful (and fun) group of statistical methods. Machine learning does not summon the Four Horseman.
Keep calm and carry on. The future will delight and disappoint you, and you will never know when either is going to happen.

That's enough to dampen my spirits. There has got to be an easier way to get rid of Springfield and Creswell!

I went looking for that quote and could not find it. Can you point me to your source?

Well, I did see that cat on a Roomba. So I didn't miss EVERYTHING.
YouTube had a golden age?
AND I MISSED IT?
Shit.
I miss everything.
If I had points, I'd mod this up.

Success is a conviction or aquittal, depending on your interest in the trial. I know which one defendants is hoping for.
Exactly. Some people have no problem that kind of equivalency. A lot of people do. I'm glad this is getting some study by psychologists.

They do have a long word for that!

Interesting conundrum. What are the possible solutions?

-Don't use social media irresponsibly
-Don't stub your toe
-Mind the gap
-Don't eat yellow snow
-Don't proclaim trite warmings

There are short-term city planning solutions. Block roads to limit ingress and egress like housing developments do.

I watched studio's earlier demos of the game. The thing about procedurally generated worlds is that after a while they all feel the same.
I agree. Not every libertarian is crazy.
How about: "Support for neoclassical economics, popular among libertarians, got us 2008."
Or civic-minded programmers to write bots to do it.

I don't think they know how to frack at the bottom of the ocean. The subduction zone is under 2000+ meters of water.
