If Trumpkin ever pulls the trigger and cans his butt-kissing, lying with a straight face, soulless mouth piece Sarah Huckabee Sanders - we've found someone just as adapt at shit spinning. David Marcus.
When I was a young programming in the early '90's, we had to develop on the oldest, slowest machines that our user base could possibly have. We used the term "eat your own dogfood". Maximizing algorithms, memory usage and performance were part of the process. Today's abundance of cheap memory and fast processes allow horrible coding. Maybe we should go back to teaching low level stuff on in 64K RAM with floppy's.
Saturn, the former GM subsidiary heavily invested in automation. If you remember their slogan "A Different Kind Of Company, A Different Kind Of Car ", their goal was to produce high quality, low labor vehicles. They never quite hit the "quality" mark, and that's exactly where they are today... gone, almost a decade now.
The fact are - "AI" doesn't exist yet and automation is way over hyped. Thus the nexus between the 2 is vaporware and will be for another decade or 3.
Why do you as a recruiter use lInkedin? I get people who've never worked with me "endorse" skills they have no idea what those skills are. I get constant requests for connections from marketing people. If I approve the connection I'm guaranteed a phone call from someone who trying to sell toner, services, or wanting "a 1/2 hour of my time next week to review my business needs"... it's painful.
Sorry, but Gates, Buffet and 12 other billionaires signed a pledge to give most of their fortune away. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/3...
Bezos refused to sign (as did Bloomberg). They are greedy self serving pigs.
If Bezos paid his warehouse slaves a livable wage, there would many fewer poor. But then he wouldn't be worth $163B...
Think of it this way, you could give EVERY SINGLE AMAZON employee (all 563,000) a one time bonus of $177,500, and Bezos would still be worth $63 Billion dollars.
How much does a king need?
I personally remember the Internet of the '90s. Back when it was used by us computer folk as an unbelievably valuable resource. People who had knowledge, drivers, insight we're happy to assist others with issues. Back before websites became unusable by multi-media bloat, addware, pop-ups...There were no paywasll, and people just shared because it was the right thing to do. It was really wonderful.... then the marketers ruined it.
Ya, in 20 years when you're too afraid to walk out the door, you be demanding that "universal basic income" because you never developed communication or personal skills and it's society's fault -you're just another victim.
Unfortunately corporations and patent holders make more money off short term use and rights limitation. We are long down the path of profit trumps everything, licensing, clean air, even now web link clicking (see the EU recent vote : https://www.theverge.com/2018/... ). Since corporations and the donor class fund our representatives and their election efforts, none of this will change without campaign finance reform.
And therein is the Great Lie of the digital age... nobody buy's ANYTHING! You are simply paying for the right to view something as long as the owner / licensee allows you. You own nothing.
Think about that next time you choose an Amazon digital book over paper for roughly the same price. Don't be schmuck.
Choice is still at the local level. You choose to vote for tax levies or against, them. You vote for a helmet law or against it. You vote for a bond issue or tax break to an arsewipe corporation in exchange for the promise of jobs, or you vote against it. Majority wins. If the majority are to ignorant to look long term, too poor to look beyond hand-to-mouth or just don't care, the fools win. sound familiar?
Suddenly, while staring at his declined debit card for a 6-pack of brew with a $20 sales tax, Joe realized "free money" isn't free....someone has to pay taxes to fill the Government coffers for redistribution of "basic income"!
That's the beauty of Democracy - don't like something, get YOUR representatives elected to change the law. The only way to get the corporate butt muntchers out Capital Hill is campaign finance reform - at the State level, across enough states to get changes voted in Nationally.
If you can't do that, it's plunders away.
Absolutely true! People voted for less regulation. Regulation also stops corporations from doing things against the pubic good in the name of profit - like polluting water, using cheap fire loving clothing on babies, MPG automotive requirements, and the list goes on.
And yes, regulations cost money and thus can kill some jobs. But you have to make a choice - do you want water you can drink, or a higher pay check?
The problem here is that those in charge (the pro-corporate profit over people, global warming denier types) while most Americans are distracted by the Trump circus, the GOP is busy shoving as many pro-corporate federal judges into office as possible. This changes the rules well beyond an election into future generations.
It's pretty clear from the comments that virtually 100% of readers this site have poor opinions of these devices. I think it demonstrates the clear lack of understating in "joe 6 pack" when it comes to technology and privacy.
This is nothing new. What do you think happens to the children of women who give birth in prison? Do you think penitentiaries have daycare and schools?
Children are pulled away from their parents when they go to prison and always have been.
Corporations are allowed to donate unlimited funding to companies courtesy of "Citizens United" - all the benefits, none of the responsibility of people. Limiting donations removes the ability of wealthy corporations and the donor class from appointing their own representatives - at cost of "the people". It flips the balance of power back to the constituents. So our "elected" representatives do our bidding, not their corporate masters.
Obama sitting next to Steve Jobs at a meeting asked "when are the jobs coming back", referring to the million Foxconn workers. Jobs responded, "never, that ship sailed". China has no labor laws.
Just prior to the release of the phone 4, a flaw was found the required every single phone unboxed, fixed and reboxed . To make the marketing date all "employees" (slaves?) were forced to work round the clock to fix every single device so Apple could make the marking date. Also, Foxconn has workers as young as 14 chained to desks, workers live in "barracks", and conditions are so grueling, Foxconn installed nets around it's buildings to catch suicide jumpers.
Next time you love your little icrap gadget, think about kids chained to their desks so you can blissfully listing with a your ibuds connected. No way any US based company could get away this.

That question was answered 50 years ago when the Government enacted affirmative action.
aka "reverse discrimination".
because some of those all male boards who created some of the largest and most successful corporations in the history of humanity could have been SOO much better if a vagina sat in a the board room.....
This is a "thing"?
Get a job and go talk to real humans....
Why bother invading - just "vote" all our rights and money away with the right "encouragement".

Sounds like a perfect environment for a patent troll explosion.

Sorry comrade,
This is nothing new. What do you think happens to the children of women who give birth in prison? Do you think penitentiaries have daycare and schools?

Separation of Business and State would be instant with campaign finance reform.
