Stop the fraud. These companies are firing Americans and replacing them with H1B individuals. And saying we can't find Americans with the skills! If the Americans they are firing don't have the skills, how could they be asked to train their replacements.
And if their replacements had the skills, why would they need training!
I have never been trained by an individual I was replacing;) I was just dropped in the fire.
i have a 1999 Ford Expedition, great truck for the 2-3k I drive it a year. Had a cracked windshield replaced which leaked (they fixed it) but it got my Gem Module(General Electronics Module) and fuse box wet. Darn truck, kept draining the battery, most of the electric stuff did not work, no lights, flashers, turn signals, dash indicators, windows;) lol, !. Got it to the dealer. They said my GEM Module was bad, and they would order one.
It would be 700.00 dollars up front and they had no idea when it would arrive. In fact they had one customer that has been waiting 7 months.
OK so I talk about getting one from the junk yard. But!!!! it needs to be programmed with the exact options my truck has and only Ford can do that and that is 500.00
I went home and just charged the battery everytime I wanted to drive the truck. And over time things dried out. All is good now.
I have been gathering every scrap of info so I can build a jig and write a program to dump the firmware from my electronic modules on my truck, since I am keeping it forever;)
When I think about this election. I can not help but think of Issac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy.. And the various eras of leadership and government the foundation went through.
Maybe we are transitioning from the era of the modern profession elite career politician (which I think may have started with Kennedy). And now it has ended with poor corrupt incompetent status quo leadership. Ending with presidents, Clinton, Bush and Obama. They were not bad presidents, they just were not very good at the job.
To the new era of Corporate Business Tycoons (no elite political background). But (I hope) strong leadership and competence. Maybe the next 50 years will be a succession of Business Tycoons from both political parties. And in 50+ years Business Tycoons will be the corrupt incompetent status quo. And something new will arise.
I saw something (could be wrong) that said most of her popular votes excess came from 3 precincts in CA.
I think she lost 200 counties/precincts? that President Obama won twice in fly over country.
Maybe if she connected better with everyday middle class voters and those votes were spread out. She would be taking office Jan 20th.
This person should not be in government at any level or have any power anywhere!. This individual is an idiot! Mandatory, manufacturer installed content filters;) Yea like this will work, NOT!;)
One does wonder what politicians and government bureaucrats would do! Since they are the ONLY ones who would be to stupid to know how to bypass things;)
mmmm Maybe actually do something constructive for a change;) duh! Fat chance of that;)
Nope they would sponsor bring your kid to work day and have them remove it;) lol
I have been a self employed work for hire software developer/troubleshooter for 27+ years. So have a lot of experience with work areas.
Choice 1, for servers would be lease virtual servers, Where ever it works for you.
Choice 2, if want full control of physical servers, rent a half rack secure space in an established data center that has full power backup, fire control and 24/7 access control security.
Choice 3, rent commercial space at least 2 rooms, one office, one servers and storage.
For access control setup full VPN access for work and management. And only open public ports where needed./wanted.
Do your server stuff using option 1, 2 or 3, I use all 3 options and have never had issues, Don't try to duplicate what they do much better than you ever could do. And the comments about not working where your servers are except when needed IS very valid. They are warm and noisy;) I know when I go to the secure data center. I wear a t-shirt and take headphones for ear protection;) I also have an office (2 miles from my home), 2 rooms (one for my office, one for some servers) with a door between and I still work in my home office most of the time;)
Then make a really nice office work space in your home. And it must be isolated. Dump laptops and go with a nice workstation. Multiple monitors, etc. if you do go with a laptop, get one capable of having a nice docking station, that can support multiple monitors real keyboard, mouse etc. I do have several laptops I use for onsite stuff based on the needs.
I know it really does not address your question. But in my experience your option is not one I would entertain. Because in the past I have tried it. I did everything in my home, various rooms, before I got married;) Thankfully marriage forced some great for me;) changes;)
He sees the writing on the wall. Once Hillary is President Congress does not matter anymore. She will rule by executive order from the White House. Coomy is trying to save his ass and make sure he does not end up in prison. He is a corrupt deluded idiot because there is no way he can save him self.
Because on Jan 20th 2017 the corrupt criminal Clinton cabal will be running America.
For good or bad this will happen. The most direct effect I see is monetary. ICANN can now set their share of the revenue from each domain name with complete freedom. It is now 0.17 cents, I think!! I see that increasing "A LOT" in the future.. The other thing will be attempted global laws and regulations placed upon all internet users (crypto?, etc) to satisfy governments. After all every government whats to read "ALL" the communications in order to protect their people.
Whether these will be good or bad who knows. Only time will tell.
But it is going to be interesting;) As said elsewhere if problems come up the internet will try to re route;)
This is interesting when you consider the companies out sourcing their IT. So that they don't even know who has the keys to their infrastructure;) I can see the CEO and exec's disclaimers now, "Hey it wasn't our fault, We had nothing to do with it!" while pointing fingers;)
In Dec 1987 my boss called me in to his office. Starts out with, "your the highest paid technical employee I have." then goes on to say "Have you ever thought about going independent?"
I said "Yes! In fact! Tell you what, I'm done!" I think he was going to propose a pay cut. But I will never know;)
In Feb 1988, I started my Computer Consulting and Programming business. Been good and bad times since then. Doing contract programming work is not for the part timer, 40 hour a week crowd that counts their sick and vacation days;) and does not acknowledge the time hanging out chatting about their weekends and getting paid. When your self employed and not doing billable work, your not getting paid!
Being self employed is a crazy up and down world of private victories and good/bad times. In fact most of my friends, have done better than me by staying in the corporate world. But even today I look back and would still make that spur of the moment decision.
Remember! A bad day fishing;) Is infinitely better than a great day at work!
So! Don't like current reality! What are YOU going to do about it!
I did not read it as Anthrax caused by Climate Change. My immediate thought was Climate Change in an area of Russia where the environment was colder, and maybe the warmer temperatures freed up something that was kept in check or trapped.
I have no problem with the theory of Climate Change. In fact, I truly believe that Climate Change.does exist! The main issue I have is, No matter how much money is siphoned from the Western Economies (up to and including everything along with shutting down the economies) and provided to other nations, the UN or what ever scientific or world body. They will not change anything. Most of the money will go poof!! Nothing useful will ever get done. Leadership/Governments/World Bodies today are incapable of solving this or most any problem. The only hope for mankind is to get off this planet and into space.
I continue to be amazed by the stupidity of Microsoft. Just when you can't believe there could be a worst version of Windows, here comes Windows 10! An invasive, poorly designed and unfit for any business use at all.
I never thought I would say this but maybe Windows ME had some redeeming features after all. When compared to the turd that Windows 10 is and is morphing in to.
Come on Microsoft!!!! make Windows 11 an updated, business usable Windows 7 Pro lookalike! Otherwise, I don't see how business will continue down the Microsoft road.
A shill for the Dem, Lib. Progressives. They can not win unless the voters are uninformed and do not know the facts. That is why the teachers unions only teach lies. they need to keep the masses uninformed esp. African Americans.
Ade Lincoln was a republican!!
The old south slave owners pre civil war war were dems
The post civil war leaders who passed the segregation laws were dems, old slave owners who wanted to control African Americans
The last member of congress who was a member of the KKK was a dem. Senator Strom Thurmond
Truth is freedom, From Stroms wiki page
In opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957, he conducted the longest filibuster ever by a lone senator, at 24 hours and 18 minutes in length, nonstop. In the 1960s, he opposed the civil rights legislation of 1964 and 1965 to end segregation and enforce the constitutional rights of African-American citizens, including suffrage. He always insisted he had never been a racist, but was opposed to excessive federal authority. He attributed the movement to Communist agitators.[5] In 1948, Thurmond said:
all the laws of Washington and all the bayonets of the Army cannot force the Negro into our homes, into our schools, our churches and our places of recreation and amusement.[5]
The dem party is using welfare and the lies of oppression to control what why once owned.
Why any African American would be a dem is beyond me.
Hillary as Sec of State worked to create TTP along with President Obama. And early in the election cycle fully supported it. It was only as Bernie started to cause her problems that she said she was against TTP.
This opposition to TTP is only a smoke screen. Once safely in the Oval office she will return to fully supporting TTP. And will be pushing hard for it's passage.

Thank You ;) I will check that out ;)

Sorry to tell you President Bill Clinton Signed the DMCA into law and in 1998 I think. The congress was republican but President Clinton is a dem.
;) Just saying, since I am a bi-partisan and an independent, I dislike both political parties ;)
So both parties are equally guilty

I am not a big Apple supporter and I think our patent system is corrupt and totally broken.
But this smells, isn't this being adjudicated in the Eastern District of Texas the center of all that screams PATENT TROLL!
