And when the American company of empowered workers goes to compete with foreign company offering the same services for 1/3 the cost what "bargaining stick" will the American company have to win that business?
No 'professional organization' is going to stop free market forces. Many have tried, all fail eventually. What you're up against is labor arbitrage, brought about by the globalization of the workforce. It first started in blue-collar professions; with advances in technology it has moved to knowledge work as well. Instead of thinking about India being some distant country think of it like the business next door, competing for the business that your employer provides. Why would a customer pay 3x for your employer's output than they would the Indian company? Do you think passing a law that prevents the business next to yours from competing would ever work?
So just one week or so after the CO2 emissions scandal came to light we already have rank-and-file employees admitting fault. Contrast that with their NOx emissions scandal that has dragged on for over a month with no hints from VW about the perpetrators - that should tell you the blame there lies with executives.
Surprised to see my comment modded down as troll. With all that Snowden revealed I would have thought most would understand by now how the government will do anything to coerce their way into violating our privacy by strong-arming technology providers.
Seems to me that something as important as evidence testing should be carried out by at least two separate, independent labs. The extra costs are significant but less so than the ramifications of false results being introduced into the process (intentional or not)
I wouldn't be too concerned about it. Warranty Service is the biggest profit center at most dealerships. Third party repair centers would happily take over that role if given the chance.
If someone has the ambition and aptitude to learn how to code they'll find a way to do so, with or without specialized schools. All those schools will serve to accomplish is to spit out borderline engineers who never should have entered the field in the first place.
When you look at the intensity history of hurricanes hitting that region nearly all of them follow the same pattern as Patricia - significant structural weakening as they approach the coast. This can't be explained as an eyewall replacement cycle.
160 MPH was an estimate at landfall based on satellite images. Having been through many hurricanes those estimates are many times wrong, esp for storms that are rapidly weakening as they approach land. It's not well understood but a storm that is strengthening as it approaches land is much more dangerous than a storm that is weakening, irrespective of absolute wind field values.
As often happens with Pacific storms since ocean conditions for maintaining strength are rarely favorable near coastal areas in that part of the world. Winds were down over 50mph by the time it made landfall.
Humans have been saying this since the advent of communication, although the original translation involved a bunch of clicks and grunts, usually aided by violently waiving one's arrow up to the sky and cursing the gods whose climate he doesn't understand.
Think about the problem a little more deeply. Cloud servers have tends of thousands of concurrent users and hundreds of thousands of concurrent transactions. They definitely stand to benefit from faster storage (particularly IOPs).

What seasoned security pro would click on a link that takes them somewhere that requires account credentials...and then enter those credentials?
Intel has a lot to learn from its smaller rival's marketing department :)

Which is exactly why non-traditional engineers developing software have progressed so much more quickly than other engineering disciplines.
Is that they're terrible photographers.
If it looks like BS, sounds like BS, and smells like BS, then it's probably some stupid marketing exec's scheme to drum up publicity.

Was wondering when the US Government would find new ways to shakedown US tech firms for not acquiescing to their encryption back-door demands.

Colors? I bet he counts binary as "one potato, two potato, four potato".

the investigation investigates the investigators.
That's a good strategy because anyone working with Perl has probably already pulled all their hair out.

Their citizens actually believe it makes a difference whether a "liberal" or "conservative" is in power.
