I've only had to deal with IT, but I've found the ones my company has retained tend to be those who have a great breadth of knowledge across platforms.
Being an engineer, most of my contacts are pretty tame. I'm that guy who gets locked out of their email or intra net, or need to order a new technical setup which my department insists should be done by IT.
The best IT guys I've worked with, I have been able to ping about remote server access questions or public key requests and they responded with a great understanding of the situation rather than just dropping details saying "I think you need this". This way I could zone in, and keep my nose down in the actual work rather than the process. I suppose they bled more into 'dev-ops', than IT.
The greater question is probably 'what kind of IT'. There's server admins, database maintainers, and a whole number I'm probably glossing over; my exposure tends to be limited to department IT, the 'classical' assumed definition (correct me if I'm wrong here IT pros).
Natural gas is a fossil fuel, that is cheaper to extract, burns cleaner than coal, and is plentiful, and in general requires less workers to extract than coal or oil.
? If I worked at a bronze mill hypothetically, and a new steel mill opened using new technology that I refused to learn about on my own. When my plant starts to upgrade, and is refocusing on steel milling procedures and practices....
Am I owed a job? I'm owed an opportunity to a job, and if the company can afford retraining that can help me, but I can't -- expect -- to receive retraining. Those who trained on their own are immediately more valuable as they have the skills without having to be trained. Not to mention, those who are trained at expensive aren't -- guaranteed -- to stay at the company.
As an employer I can hire college graduates in X discipline, or I can hire out of high school and at expense, "train them on the job". Both have their benefits and risks.
Neither should expect complete loyalty from the other. All that is guaranteed is a degree of fairness (no black lists, etc,). I'm pretty liberal on most issues, but I'm fiscally conservative. I'll help my local soup kitchen and habitat for humanity. I'm for some degree of fair taxation to help those with unfair starts, but I'm not for handouts or subsidizing obsolete industries that need to be propped up for market viability.
Retraining is expensive, and there over all would be less jobs in availability. From a business stand point, and given that GE was bleeding money, they needed to cut their losses.
As an employee, you should always be flexible, and train new skills to keep you market viability, nobody owes you a job, but you're owed an opportunity to have one. Never a guarantee.
I always anticipated this. Tidal forces affect liquids far more than rock or hot pressurized rock (mantle). I mean IO doesn't have anywhere near the amount of water that Europa does and it's being torn and scewed by these immense forces.
I don't see how this makes it more habitable however as large glacial tectonic forces, while similar is appearance to regulr tectonics don't seem to make life any easier on the surface. If anything it makes it more difficult to establish any kind of surface base given how quickly the ice can shift compared to normal mantle based tectonics.
You're hooking teachers in for profit, possibly even pushing kids who don't want to perform this activity. If you want to get more 'coders' as this articles like to say, then advertise cool activities that they're familiar with.
Making a simple smartphone app, quick, accessible, and they can show it off. It has cool factor for tweens all over it.
Or perhaps a Tumblr or Wordpress page widgets and additions.
Some of you might cringe, but this is what's hip for kids, and honestly it's a better lure than shaking money and the promise of karma at educators.
They get their laptops from the generic laptop manufacturer that supplies both Clevo and Sarger.
The only real add they have is a small crack driver support team and a little customization before shipping it to you.
That said, it's guaranteed to work with the hardware, and I've had several s76 laptops both personally and purchased on my behalf at the workplace. Not really sure how I feel about them, but I do like their mobile workstations (a 'special' kind of laptop).
For rescue, or military, or even bomb detection. They're a comfort pet. Outside of biological advantages of dogs for these tasks, cats are difficult to train in those tasks as they're solitary animals.
They're looking for more recent embedded technology. I'm talking about micro Linux kernels, Yocto linux, as well as (but not surprisingly) Qualcomm and Broadcom tech (ie snapdragon 800+).
I worked on the PMIC for an OMAP based system used for smartphones. There's a large development space for smartphone-like technology in getting IOT with similar features. This is what's currently sexy in embedded design. Older boards used in long-term serviceable technology (think rail-road, construction) tend to be getting phased out with the newer batch of chipsets and technology.
These job openings when I applied for them have been open for years, not to say they didn't get applications, but they didn't get someone with the relevant skill set.
You assume all 'tech jobs' worth having are in SV. There's a great need for technical experience outside of these hubs. The most experienced and high demanding jobs however will be at these hubs. Data centers need engineers as well as the software to maintain it which may not be a priority for 'hub' locations.
Embedded software engineers are also scarce, many employers are trying to train their EE guys which lead to the IOT security fiasco as they try implementing plug and play tech without much thought.
.. especially in a permission per app restricted environment, is dangerous. Root your device and do what you will, but this is a secure move for the public facing store where the general layman won't know what completely entails 'accessibility' permissions.
To take a cherished series that already has a complete movie adaption? Either we're watching the events unfold with un-filmed scenes from the books at a slow rate... or we'll be getting non-lore spin-offs in middle earth.

This is a typical China play. In addition they have full control of the data which they won't if they let foreign companies do it.

You mean boeing was first to secure lucrative contracts from the Gov, then got fat and lazy. Them and Lockheed both.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

The new, modern, low end work... with some ""technical"" skill required.
My contributors sent to me..
They truly missed a great pun here...

Well now.
For rescue, or military, or even bomb detection. They're a comfort pet. Outside of biological advantages of dogs for these tasks, cats are difficult to train in those tasks as they're solitary animals.
While in space most likely. The fact that we're even able to classify it bacteria rather than a foreign micro organism is telling.
You forget that there were those who refused to try to adapt to those changes.
Those were hit the hardest. All emergent technology requires adaption by the adopting civilization.
I mean, I come here for Linux and technical stuff with the occasional society tech write up...
Nice try MS.
It's more the advances in heat mitigation, this I wager will be the new bottleneck rather that chipset size.

Then side load, and root. There's nothing really stopping you..

Both sound awful.
Now that's some insane spin there.
