Companies shouldn't get handouts from governments. It goes against all the rules of capitalism and the free market. If they can't make a go of it without corporate welfare they should shut shop.
I was in the shed with Dad pre-school, helping him fix the car, build, carpentry, crystal radio, metal work.... He was multi-skilled - old school trades apprenticeship on the docks, then wireless, tv, early computers, and I picked a lot up from him. I did mechanics, electronics, chippy, plastics, farm work.... Got a picture of my youngest in a nappy, spanner in hand, covered in grease, fixing my outboard.
Australian aborigines have lived an advanced life on this continent for over 50,000 years. Since white colonisation 250 years ago we've nearly destroyed the continent. What's different, aborigines lived a sustainable lifestyle, whities are greedy fucks. We always looked at aborigines as primitive, but we are coming to realise they used sensible technologies. So is it technologically advanced to use technologies which, in the (not so) long run destroy you ? And as we 'advance' we accelerate destruction on ourselves. So let's not say technology extinguishes, but rather, being greedy fucks does.
Programmers should have a duty of social responsibility to not develop AI which will eventually replace any worker. The easiest person to replace is an AI developer.
When an auto OEM company works out a system to retrofit electric motors to petrol cars we will see a drastic turn around. rip out petrol engine, petrol tank and drive train. Install batteries in place of engine, install electric motors, control system Install charger at home on solar system.
WTF? Up to 205W, man that would glow without liquid cooling. Fully agree they're stuck on a track of blindly making it bigger. networked processors http://www.greenarraychips.com... 144 separate processors in a chip, all running, well under 1W Chuck Moore's been doing it for years, nothing new, and it doesn't glow in the dark.
I'm still waiting to buy a legit copy of GoT from last season here in Oz. Fuck 19th Century Fox, come join us in the new century. The Channel 10 melt down is to push our ass licking politicians to relax the media ownership regulations so Murdoch can buy all newspapers and free to air broadcasting. He already has his puppet Michelle Guthrie running the ABC into the ground.
One Trillion dollars of national debt. That's the real cost of the longest stretch of increasing corporate profits and greed ever. The real estate market is a ponzi scheme, propped up by tax dodges instituted by the Howard government. When we say the mining boom is over, that's just the construction phase, now they're extracting and exporting, so minimal local jobs for maximum multinational profits. The costs of development are offset against taxes so the multinationals will reap years of tax-free profits. The (Liberal or Labour) government is directed by it's corporate overlords. We're being held upside down and all the pennies shaken out of our pockets.
My last IT contract had a clause prohibiting me from disclosing my remuneration to anyone, and I mean anyone. Company confidential, and a future employer should respect abiding by a contract.
It's all about corporate profit at the expense of natural people. Efficiencies allow reduced employment, but where do those people go ? The corporations don't care. It could be more people spending time improving society and general quality of life, arts, humanities, environment. Superfluous people go on the scrap heap.
Just put up 5KW of panels last week, for a good price. Our govt subsidies are going to shift next month and the current LNP government is pro -coal, anti-solar. While every other country is going gangbusters on solar our dickhead government wants to dig up more coal.

Just another case of multinationals are outside any countries control.

Took the aborigines thousands of years, we've done worse in a couple of hundred years

For everybody to enjoy the benefits of automation we have to BYOD.
I do and I'm a happy guy now.

They're backing up the backup.
If you can't trust the nice new external drive, don't buy it,
just backup to the cloud.
Seems like a marketing failure.
