As most people will notice, except regulators it seems, this is a scam to pay below the already pitiful minimum wage.
Jobs that take 6 hours to learn should not be permitted to misuse apprenticeships.
There is a place for white-collar apprenticeships but only for developing staff at a fair price.
Would be interested to know if a majority of companies could actually give an accurate definition of Agile.
Have heard from too many managers that a project will be 'Agile-like'. Generally meaning 'half-assed'.
A few big players will tend to dominate any arena, that is just what happens.
Let's take one activy that ought to be incorruptible - Yoga.
Originally a way of achieving spiritual enlightenment and a healthy body, yoga is now one of the best methods for separating women from cash.
In other words, give people any tool and they will find a way to either make money off it or kill someone. Don't blame the inventors, there is no way you can stop business being dicks.
Has it always been the case that 'investors' were greedy, ignorant sheep? Or are these the same percentage as usual, the ones that pile into the latest fad and make the real investors rich?
We have a messed up society where it is less effort and same reward for trading made-up numbers than starting a new business.
Technical trading versus fundamentals I suppose, but it also looks a lot like gambling - I would be interested to see if the long term prospects are any better than betting on the horses!
One more thing - how do bitcoin traders fill their day? How do you sufficiently fill your time enough to call this your occupation, as opposed to a well paying hobby?
IT is enormous.
Imagine if 'building' covered civil engineering, structural engineering, groundworks, bricklaying, plastering, painting...
The only difference is that we have been doing the above for a long time - 'IT', not so much. It's difficult for companies to work out what they need when every guru out there is peddling a new world-class information technology *cough* blockchain *cough*... and the layman has to call it all IT.
This is a subject I have been thinking a lot about and this news is actually reassuring.... kids today are essentially getting the 'greatest hits' of culture - they don't have to put up with filler, they just skip to the next song, episode, film whatever....
Thinking that kids will get bored out of their minds in the long summer break makes me reassured that they will appreciate the good bits a little bit more.
In the US, cheap foreign manufacturing has done more to improve the lives of the poor than any govt policy.
Sure, it might have taken a load of jobs, but look at all those cheap tellies and PS4s that even the jobless can afford.

Young, tech-savvy people prepared to spend 20 hours a day at a screen might be good at tech jobs?
Well yeah, as long as you don't expect them to spend hours a day doing free study - gaming is time consuming after all.
I get that students are responsible adults but when they are paying tens of thousands for their education, surely their tutors should be the ones noticing this, not a data mining operation?
Too many people onscreen - who the hell cares what happens to the thousand CGI extras that just got squished by Thor or Hulk? Their sheer number means I am instantly desensitised to whatever happens.
Bid for a paltry sum of money and hope that you and enough of your fellow entrepreneurs can support the mass unemployed?
In the UK, the tuition fees alone are £9k, so £10k is a drop in the ocean. Plus, something tells me lecturers aren't going to be the obvious first choice for arriving at paradigm-shifting solutions.
Don't know about you but I find stories like this depressing.
I imagine all Olympic athletes start as enthusiastic kids but to reach the top they have to become the equivalent of white mice, everything worked out for optimal performance by scientists. Sounds horrendous to be honest.
When we get some sort of failure and all the files are encrypted, those files need to be as retrievable as they would normally be.
I would be surprised if more than 20 people in the whole world are worried about security though.
If they are, just take the card out and swallow it before you reach customs!
If I was feeling generous, I might think that CC companies were trying to save stupid people from themselves. And having to swallow their unpaid debts.
If you don't have money to gamble with, then you shouldn't buy BTC or trade Forex.
Slashdot Mirror
If he was backing up deleted 4Chan posts he may have bigger legal problems than 'hacking'!
Go back to engaging flesh and blood contacts? Do you know your audience Slashdot? Who the hell has time or proximity to see real people?

Is this article from The Onion? Coal-powered Bitcoin may just be the pinnacle of the human capacity for assholery.

I think this scenario has been covered comprehensively by Hollywood. Always a bad end. Shirt Circuit is probably the documentary you want!

Dates with Palmela Handerson on the agenda.
Kids TV and conspiracy theories are perfect viewing for stoners. Are they screwing up the algorithms?!
I get that students are responsible adults but when they are paying tens of thousands for their education, surely their tutors should be the ones noticing this, not a data mining operation?
How about something basic, like Adam and Eve holding hands?
The stupid are unlikely to get directly involved in BTC, it's just too complicated. Easier to buy Oxy off the local contact.
Disrupting emergency services, helping global warming, distributing child porn... Is there anything Bitcoin CAN'T do?

Thought this title was the start of a murder-mystery. My guess: Richard Stallman, in the library, with the lead pipe.

So, not a good idea to change careers for tech, in your 40's?
