The real problem here is that HR is notnot able to hire based on skills,
FTFY.
HR drones come from the party schools, where they majored in socialization. They have no idea how software engineering is actually done, so how would they know what to look for in a candidate?
Tried to get my son to go this route, but he wanted the "college experience". As I was trying to keep my home out of foreclosure during the 2008 downturn, I didn't have the money for him to party for a year. He borrowed $6K from family for two semesters, and promptly flunked out.
Instructing the Sec of State is exactly what an Executive Order is, and rephrasing it as you state would have garnered the same response. This whole issue has followed the same pattern I've watched for years where conservatives attempt to implement a measured response, and the liberal leaning media go apocalyptic on it. No matter how carefully crafted the current admin worded an order to curtail muslim terrorist, the left was itching for a fight to shout it down.
I don't know why exactly appliance manufacturers want their products to be connected. I really don't.
It enables planned obsolescence. Got that from the horse's (jackass' ?) mouth. Marketing exec at a major appliance manufacturer that is no longer manufacturing appliances. Why do you need a computer in stove... a glorified heating element? Because, you can add whiz bang feature that make the appliance a fashion statement instead of an appliance. (Now with BLUE LEDS!!!)
Dude, I am quite serious here. Appliances are not a growth market. They have reached an end to engineering improvements that actually improve any of their functions. Now, they're left to manufacturing reasons to "upgrade".
GE has a device that connects to the appliance's serial bus. Many of the appliances have a separate computer for the display and control boards. The serial bus is very close to the CAN bus used in modern autos. The ~$50 device is a wireless module that you register through a website, and you interact with the appliance with a poorly rated phone app. Many of the more recent models have the wireless module built in.
Wasn't FB one of the actors that got caught in the last election trying to shut down viewpoints they didn't agree with? I read this "bring in all viewpoints" talk as "force the viewpoints I agree with on those filthy conservatives".
So America gets dinged because you Europeans can't settle on a common language. How inefficient of you.
WTH would I spend my time learning another language when I could travel 3,000 miles, passing through several different types of climates, while being able to communicate with nearly everyone? You claim it's a benefit to "visit another country" only because that "other country" is a Sunday drive away. It's not like it is a real journey. Get over yourself.
I concur on rejecting the lowest bidder. I've learned over the years to shop around to get a lower price, but that the lowest priced artifact in a group is usually complete garbage. By moving up the cost scale a bit, I get a usable item that is still near the bottom. By going for the lowest bidder, the government ends up paying for the company that lied the best and will cut the most corners.
The problem is that everyone is all for reducing spending and limiting government, right up to the point where it involves their own pocket. Take the EPA for example. The administrator flat out said that they could accomplish their stated mission with only 2/3rds of the money. But, Congressional beasts (even the so-called government reducing Republican ones), complained how some of the programs slated to be cut created jobs.
Trump, Obama, Bush, et.al. are Presidents, not dictators. Their power to reduce the sprawling federal behemoth is very limited. I doubt a revamping of the infrastructure will do anything to reduce costs, because the bureaucracy will pressed to find a "job" for all the dead weight.
No. Haven't jumped myself. But, I know people that have (they wore parachutes, BTW). Theory proved out exactly as predicted. I was a little higher up for my test. My airplanes engine quit when I was at about 6,000ft. 15 minutes later, I was in a chicken farmer's back field. Yep, more support for that theory of gravity.
Warmest predicted more floods, tornadoes, hurricanes and severe weather of all sorts. How has that been working out?
The claim is that there has been a few degrees of warming, and that the worst case is that there will be a few more. Few being on the order of 5 in each case.
Since there is much more variation in daily, seasonal, and yearly averages, I don't get how this will cause a mass kill off of trees.
I don't necessarily play the latest 3D game with my phone, but I would like to play a real game in the 3D world with it. Having to constantly worry that it'll get broke, or will go haywire if I get it wet from sweating to much.
"How *livable* is this phone?" is the only question I want answered from any reviews now-a-days.
I was spoiled by a Casio Commando which I kept for years until I lost it from the handlebars of my motorcycle while doing 80mph down I-40.
How can Tim Cook claim expertise in either climate change or immigration? He is the business leader of a large corporation. I don't see how that translates to being an expert on either climate or immigration.
I agree. Simply refusing to pay for the service will get you disconnected. However, companies are actively pushing these things. I worked for a major (at the time) appliance manufacturer. Why would anyone want their stove, clothes washer, or refrigerator connected to the internet? The lame excuses preferred simply boggle the mind with their stupidity (so you don't have to wait for your oven to warm up when you get home? Really? So you'll know when your clothes are finished washing? Want I know when the crappy washer stops banging around trying to throw itself apart?) And yet, there was a whole engineering team devoted to this joke. And they are organizing it so that you have to be connected to get software updates for your appliance to keep working. You will be assimilated, or you'll have to wash your clothes with a 20 yr old machine.
Yep, engaging in an online flame war with the Mayor of London for trying to reassure Londoners right after a terrorist attack really won us Brits over too, top notch communicator you have there.
Part of communicating is identifying your audience. You didn't really think that flame war was about talking to the Brits, did you? Dude, he was putting on a show for the people that actually have the power to make him President.
He understands who he is really communicating with. Which is why he is President, and not Jeb Bush.

You're also assuming she gets a job that has something to do with her major, and that she keeps it. No guarantee of any sort for that.
But, it has always been scraps. And yet, humanity still continues to progress...and the scraps just keep getting better.

I believe that was Andrew Jackson.
She doesn't have to be smart enough to earn the money. She has to be smart enough to marry it.

Every administration ever. For instance, how is that "most transparent administration in history" being touted by the last one working out for you?

Yes. It will take 18 months and then they will find no violations.
Doesn't make it a waste of Ebay's time. Ebay still gets paid. In this case, the "cheating" seller loses.

A better job is a night time security guard position. For the most part, you are required to sit at a desk, and most jobs allow you to read.
Maybe he thinks it is better that he gets to choose his sound bites, vs what the MSM does with an entire speech.
No. We should vote for the lizard. So that the wrong lizard doesn't win.
