and that's what this is. It's got nothing to do with Trump getting reelected. If the Dems bend on this they might as well just change parties because they'll be voting 100% GOP party platform from then on. That's what this is about.
At some point you have to draw a line in the sand if you're going to stand for anything. America does not negotiate with Terrorists, and hopefully in 2020 we'll stop voting for them.
it talks more about Tijuana becoming a viable city than about the fence keeping immigrants from crossing. More than anything that's what kept the illegals out: they had jobs in Tijuana as industry grew there.
Also, is it just me or is Politico getting really hacky, even by Politico standards. I mean, they've always been the propaganda arm of the Clinton wing of the Democratic party. But lately they've gotten unpleasantly click-baity...
isn't much more than minimum wage was in 1978. And I'm using government stats on inflation though which in my experience under report inflation for workers (e.g. the consumer price index has a nasty habit of swapping in and out items that aren't really equivalents to make the numbers look better), so the picture's probably less rosy.
What I'm saying is that those farm owners are in the throws of a massive labor shortage but still can't keep workers. What's supposed to happen is pay is supposed to go up until they have workers. There's plenty of folks who'd work a farm for enough money to have a decent life. $12 bucks in 2018 ain't that. $15's a start, but I'm guessing that's few, far between.
Doesn't help that farming is often seasonal work. If I make $15/hr for even 60/week but only get to work 6 months out of the year that's not gonna fly. You can't build a stable life around that.
so why would the sys admins expect there to be one?
I suppose you could argue they shouldn't trust the President to be stable enough to keep his word, but then shouldn't we be talking about the 25th amendment right about now?
And the end of a year is probably the best time. It puts the efforts to renew them right after your end of year tech freezes tend to life but before new development happens. It also puts the costs involved on next year's budget and gets them out of the way for the year.
And renewing certs is routine maintenance. I had my oil changed today because it was due today. Should have have gotten it changed 2 months sooner to avoid waiting until the last minute?
he had the House and Senate for 2 years and did nothing on the wall. It's pretty obvious this is just a political stunt to make the Dems look bad and to keep them from working on meaningful legislation in the house (like Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, etc).
The sick part is the GOP is ready to wreck the entire US economy (and make no mistake, if this goes on we'll have a depression on our hands, folks don't realize how much the government does) to score some political victories and maybe keep Single Payer healthcare & infrastructure spending from happening.
Eventually it'll hurt their base enough for them to notice, but I'm not convinced they won't just blame the Democrats.
You're assuming the other side (the GOP) is working in good faith. They're not. Their goal isn't to govern or help America. Their goal is to serve their donors, who are in turn the real ruling class of America.
You can't compromise with someone when you don't acknowledge their actual goals. Otherwise they just run rings around you during negotiations.
If we're going to pay that debt down we need to start being more efficient in how we spend money. Our healthcare system is the Whole Foods of medicine: overpriced crap sold to folks who aren't paying attention.
after the fact, likely as a money grab for future cloud gaming profits? I'd thought Unity normally charges per developer fees. It looks like they want to start charging per user or per processor fees like Oracle & IBM do.
it's only because the GOP has been actively sabotaging the government that this is a problem. This entire shutdown mess is entirely a creation of the GOP.
And I see what you did there with your anecdote where you tell a story with the most obnoxious person anyone can imagine (Big SUV, detailing, of course a Lady because there's a meme for that). Let that rub off on anyone who complains about the shutdown.
I mean, if we're gonna talk about obnoxious folks in the shutdown there's this gem. But there's also a lot of folks trying to figure out how to afford gas. Real Wages are down yet like the article says the GOP base is thrilled. Meanwhile it's not free to go to work. That "hurting the people he's supposed to hurt" lady (meme intended) has a 7 hour commute. Some folks need money for daycare too. Screw this noise.
another job. The reason to work for the government is so you don't have to do that every 2-3 years when the stock price dips a little or the CEO wants a new boat. If you take that away you'll end up with bottom feeders.
But that's kind of the point. The GOP is actively trying to sabotage the government so they can privatize everything and turn every aspect of our lives into cash cows. They even have a name for it, they call it "Starve the Beast".
TL;DR; Put people in charge of government who either don't believe in gov't or believe gov't is only for them and you get bad outcomes. Who knew?
the Data analyst jobs are too complex for the majority of workers to do, let alone people displaced by your work in automation.
If somebody with a high school diploma and a copy of excel can do these new jobs then they're ripe for automation or that person just happens to be a math wiz who had something go terribly wrong in their life that prevented them from finishing college (happens, my bro is pretty smart but his wife decided it was kid time while he was in school and stopped taking her pills).
As the saying goes, the plural of anecdote is not data. Go talk to some economists about automation. They're even less rosy about it then I am because I'm a Democratic Socialist who grew up watching Star Trek and think folks like Alexandria Ocassio-Cortez will eventually move us to the Nordic model and solve these problems. But I realize I'm being almost childishly naive believing that given our country's puritanical history.
And history is the problem. It shows that when we don't have enough work for people to do we traditionally let them starve. Then they find an army to join and we get a Junta.
There's nothing to copyright here. Yes, the program code on the scooter is protected, but it's not in and of itself a protection mechanism or DRM since it's not protecting anything. They have to know this isn't going to work. Was their lawyer just bored that day?
So California had a problem with small towns funding themselves with speed traps. They'd take a section of highway they were responsible for and drop the speed limit from 75 to 40 for a 1-3 mile stretch. The local cops would learn which cars belonged to residents and target out of towners who would pay the ticket to get along with their trip.
So they passed an anti-speed trap law. Townships were required to measure average speed on roads and if they wanted to set the speed lower they had to do an (expensive) traffic study every 6 years to prove the limit should be lower. The studies were independent could backfire resulting in a higher speed limit and even fewer tickets.
This is the next step. To hell with the camera programs. They're just a crappy way for people to avoid paying their taxes. I don't normally call taxation theft, but when you're doing crap like this and you have the means to raise revenue legitimately then this is nothing more than a shakedown. Crap like this is what gives government (which gave us NASA, clean water, the highway system and higher education for working class folks) a bad name.
it's a regressive tax. e.g. it disproportionately impacts the working class. That's why the Yellow Vests are targeting it. It's designed to shift the cost of maintaining civilization from the 1% (who receive by far the largest biggest benefit of civilization) to the working class.
where a group of people could coordinate action without a central figure telling them how to act. Why, they could post comments all over the place saying all manner of things.
Luckily we don't live in such a terrifying dystopia. And once we take care of Joe Union and his French compatriot (Pepe Union?) we can focus our attention on our true opponent: the Turks of the Ottoman Empire.
in an interview, but only if you get the interview in the first place. As for them catching it before the interview, if you're just glancing at a resume it's easy enough to miss.
The thing about AI and data automation is that it makes it practical to catch things that time pressed humans miss. These little efficiency boosts add up with mega corporations resulting in tens of millions of dollars in savings. On the downside those savings usually come at the cost of longer hours and harder work for anyone who works for a living.
I know folks over 40 who hide their age because they won't get interviews if the company realizes they're over 40.
AI and big data have the potential to break that. There's still markers left over from the places you worked, how long, the types of apps you've worked on,etc.
You used to see this with black neighborhoods unable to get mortgages because of their zip code. When you put numbers into a database without regard to what comes out you can end up with crap like this.
is they're selling CPUs without the iGPU. Meaning they're talking CPUs with bad GPUs and putting them on the market. That tells me AMD is really putting pressure on them since they haven't done this in the past in order to keep chip prices high.
I haven't heard anyone give a viable answer. Most folks aren't good enough at math to get the jobs in demand (computer, data and biotech sciences). That leaves tens of millions of people who aren't smart enough to go back to school but are smart enough to hold a gun. If we don't do something with them it'll end badly for everyone except the 1% (who'll have automated killbots to keep them at bay).
So I'll ask again, what jobs will they retrain for? Can anyone be specific?
to say you can't retrain folks. Multiple studies show people learn more slowly or not at all past the age of 25. And the jobs people keep saying we should retrain for are high end computer, biotech and data scientist jobs that most people simply don't have the capacity for. They just don't have the math chops for it.
You're asking people who couldn't get through college in their 20s when they had access to grants and loans they don't have now, didn't have families to support or children to care for and had the malleable brain of a 20 year old to somehow pull it off now. That's disingenuous at best and an outright dodge at worst.
And if you're not going to tell them to get advanced degrees then what specifically do you intend to retrain them for? We're about to put 7 million cashiers and drivers out of work in the next 20 years tops. Hell, just tell me what you're gonna do with the 3.5 million cashiers. They're probably 10 years out from unemployment. From an economic perspective that is overnight.
And please, don't say welder and HVAC repair. Everybody I corner on this question says welder and HVAC repair. What do you think adding 3.5 million welders and HVAC repairmen in 10 years would do to their wages?

none of them mean much. This is a political tactic to make the Dems look bad, see here.
this is a cold hearted calculation meant to make the Democrats look bad and likely to succeed because the GOP controls the media. The Dems have been complaining about this for years

with the money we'd save by giving everybody healthcare
If we're going to pay that debt down we need to start being more efficient in how we spend money. Our healthcare system is the Whole Foods of medicine: overpriced crap sold to folks who aren't paying attention.
but somebody pulled a switcheroo on us so they wouldn't have to pay their taxes.
They've had rollable phones since the 80s.
