Great in theory (well, the work bit) but managers favour people they like (eg people like them).
Drone #212 is going to have to do an awful lot to get noticed and in the meantime, there might be somebody in the same office, not as good, but happens to sit next to the right people and support the same football team.
We live on a tiny windy and wet island and still we decide to pay the French and Chinese well over market rate for a NUCLEAR reactor! We have the chance to be self sufficient but apparently that's not desirable... renewables have smaller brown envelopes maybe?
No hear me out, it's not so ridiculous... maybe Twitter was originally invented to keep trolls/Nazis away from other social media? Like a giant flytrap?
Will it restore any of the useful web automation tools that make my life easier? Firebug and Firepath have both been killed off, and too many XPath bugs in the new Dev tools.
Sorry Firefox, I've gone to Chrome.
Maybe people are more reluctant to spend their weekends wandering like zombies around shops to buy some Chinese-made junk that they could have bought online in half the time and half the price.
Maybe I shop in the wrong places but I rarely have interactions with shop staff that make the mark-ups worth it.
Shame this has pretty much killed web automation on Firefox. XPath support through Firebug and Firepath was unrivalled but at a stroke this moves to Chrome. Firefox dev tools have some serious XPath bugs, combined with less features.
A lot of speed cameras in the UK are out up purely to make money and are almost universally unpopular. Uninsured drivers are scum though, they are the assholes who run off after hitting you and drive shitty unsafe cars.
All I can think is that this guy is trying to bring down the rotten Pharma system from within, and possibly become a martyr in the process!
How else will govt become involved unless someone makes them look ridiculous?
UK resident here - much as I like wfh, I have to wonder whether these figures in the US are more a symptom of a move towards casual labour and zero-hour contracts. If I didn't see my employer occasionally I would worry about being binned at the first sign of a downturn - employers generally look after people better if they are part of the group, and that is hard to achieve remotely.
Blame MS for not planning ahead, but blame cheap-ass customers for not upgrading when given plenty of notice. The NHS would not give people drugs with expired use-by dates, so why is using expired software different?
I'm beginning to wonder if the military is not just a clever invention by scientists to get funding for cool stuff like the internet, VR, smart drugs and electrical brain zappers...
If academics asked for this research directly they would be laughed out of the country, but if they dress it up as new ways to kill foreigners it's suddenly ok... people have such weird priorities!

Averaged across the entire population, we are working about 20 hours a week!
If you can't record a few videos to upload to Facebook, were you really there though? Oh, and please ban huge flags at festivals too, ta.
I need to physically move my phone out of eyesight, otherwise it gets checked obsessively :(
It's great for my company though.
Just one aspect, often ignored by management-types... The cost of buying software is often the small bit. The real money is spent on staff to use it.
People go to fast food places DESPITE the human interaction
Go outside, look at some trees, smell some flowers

The more productive people we have, the more the rest of us slackers can sit around enjoying cheap tech (and no jobs)!
I don't get the people who pay for little treats all the damn time. It's like they need constant rewards or they'll just stay in bed.
Firebug was essential in the web automation business... Imagine if Excel suddenly removed Pivot tables with no warning!

Not only is Trump discouraging clever immigrants, he is also dumbing down the country with his anti-science stance and soaring cost of education

I find many of my tech colleagues are nervous, probably stems from too much coffee.
Fully expecting to be working 4 days a week well into my seventies so yeah, this 30 year prediction sounds spot on!
That's unpossible!

What do you expect, when you outsource hi-tech and manufacturing? Of course they are going to surpass you someday.
