  1. Amazon should buy them. on China's LeEco Calls Off Its $2 Billion Purchase of TV Maker Vizio (axios.com) · · Score: 0

    Amazon should buy Vizio, they have a similar business methodologies and it gives Amazon more access to the living room.

  2. ...it comes with a power supply and keyboard and can connect to old televisions, try that with Raspberry Pi.

  3. Big Texas Company Way Of Doing Business on Southwest Airlines Is Doing Away With Pneumatic Tubes, Paper Tickets (consumerist.com) · · Score: 0

    I'm not sure if it's like this everywhere, but it seems like all of the large Texas corporations are extremely slow at adopting new technology and are struggling to compete with the modern world. I work for one and we struggle to make 5 updates to our web site per year....and that's with dozens of employees and contractors doing work.

  4. Re: that's it. the end game. on Bill Gates: The Robot That Takes Your Job Should Pay Taxes (qz.com) · · Score: 0

    It would need to be a sales tax on industrial robotic supplies.

  5. They are, I see it first hand. Under pay people desperate to work in the US, force them to work long hours, if they complain you ship them back....it's that easy.

  6. Only helps California... on Congress Will Consider Proposal To Raise H-1B Minimum Wage To $100,000 (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    ...and go figure, look who sponsored the bill. Since most H1Bs are already paid $100k+ in Cali, all this is doing is moving the H1B work pool from other states with lower incomes to Cali. I think they need to tax the sponsor for each H1B they have. And partially do away with the lottery system to where the more you pay, the more you is the primary selection process.

  7. ATT & DirecTV wouldn't be a violation. on New FCC Report Says AT&T and Verizon Zero-Rating Violates Net Neutrality (theverge.com) · · Score: -1

    The ATT and DirecTV deal doesn't sound like a violation since it's a first party deal. It would be like you provider letting you visit the provider's site for free for support or calling tech support and not getting charged for it.

  8. Just delete everything. on Facing Layoff, An IT Employee Makes A Bold Counteroffer (computerworld.com) · · Score: 0

    Just delete everything on the way out, what are they going to do, fire you?

  9. Good, it's being abused. on Will Trump Protect America's IT Workers From H-1B Visa Abuses? (cio.com.au) · · Score: 1

    They really need to make it a mix of the current lottery system (to give anyone a chance) and a more-you-pay-the-more you get system (helps companies who need actual skill and not just warm bodies. My company has dozens of H1Bs, hundreds of offshore contractors and refuses to hire any local talent, including low cost college grads. They would rather may Accenture, TCS & Infosys $150/hr for what amounts to slave labor for years instead of hiring a single college grad for under $40/hr.

  10. So it will jump from $5 to $10?

  11. Lesson learned... on 'Radioactive Boy Scout' Reportedly Passes Away At Age 39 (harpers.org) · · Score: 1

    Lesson learned...don't build a nuclear reactor in your backyard....do it in a friend's backyard.

  12. Hiring slave labor is the first sign of failure. on IT Workers Facing Layoffs Jolted By CEO's Message (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    These jobs were going away anyway and the company is just hiring under paid, overworked slave labor as a way to keep themselves profitable for a while longer....enevitably they are going to fail or be bought out.
