For what purpose? If your salaries are not competitive, your senior doctors will happily leave for greener pastures, and in the real world not *all* job listings will be $7.50/hr.
Without new hires your business will deteriorate as people retire, move, get disgruntled with salary-independent reasons, until a point where the salaries don't justify the increased workload for the remaining staff and they leave en masse.
Never mind *they* can start their own clinic and buy your the equipment for peanuts as it's auctioned off to cover your debt.
Yes, there will always be lousy offers on the job market. Some people try to run their business around poor employee retention and cutting corners everywhere they can. It's very rarely a sustainable model; it works somewhat with unskilled labor but not in situations like these. It still happens, sure - but these firms are short-lived. Someone inherits a successful business and proceeds to bleed it dry, or there's a hostile take-over and the new board wants to destroy given business/brand and gut it of resources. But in the large scheme of things these are a small piece of the market.
Thing is, you can't just live off whatever you're leeching off indefinitely. Either you open that clinic and it starts earning you money, or you'll run out. So after a while you'll conclude "damn, maybe $7.5/h is not enough?"
With enough job openings salaries are bound to start climbing - but the system has a rather large inertia.
The situation is recent. Corporations and headhunters are still used to being in position of a lord mercifully throwing scraps to the people looking desperately for work. They need to wake up, sober up and see the job market has changed and they need to start competing for employees.
Never mind the spam approach; trying to find a sucker.
That's a drop-out's approach, with 0.1% success ratio. Quantity over quality. Copycats that think they can grab your attention through just flooding you with shit. You think this is it and that you're immune because you ignore them. Nope, these are dregs. You're likely unaware of the actual pros who already managed to grab you.
They will slowly gain popularity. Human-driven cars will never pass away, but slowly give way, becoming the same sort of niche as horses are nowadays. But it's a matter of good several decades. Likely not our lifetime.
- 100% robot factories are possible.
95% robot factories are possible currently, though not entirely economically viable. We still lack robots that can repair robots, or build robots nearly from scratch, and even then it will be maybe 99.5% robot factory. There's always the unforeseen that requires a human. Regardless, the shift will occur, slowly. Again, unlikely to happen within our lifetime.
- The free market fixes all problems
Bullshit. Pure free market is just as utopian as pure utopian communism.
- The Singularity is coming.
Unlikely to happen within our lifetimes.
- Everyone needs to be retrained in _______ and all will be well.
Retraining reduces the causalities. It's not a solution, just a somewhat weak mitigating factor.
It's different if "react" means "draw gun from the holster, release safety, aim". When you are already aiming at the target, the distance they can cover with a knife before you can pull the trigger is ridiculously short.
They never had any intention of consuming the Hitler birthsday cake. People have mapped it out, the Nazi couple drove past something like a dozen other bakeries specifically to target the Jewish one one because they are such sieg-hailing fanatics that they cannot physically function without calling inordinate amounts attention to themselves. The news made it out to seem like it was a surprise that the bakery wouldn't serve them, but that bakery had a well established reputation by then. The bakery was targeted because of their religious beliefs, it's the very definition of discrimination but because it's cool to be black , the other protected class won this round.
In UK it was totally successful. Almost all murderers have switched to knives. The number of murders and other violent crimes is about the same, or higher than before, but hey guns are no longer involved! Goal achieved, gun violence down!
Same as skimpy clothes are not justification for rape. Which still doesn't mean taking a stroll through the slums in a miniskirt at night is a laudable idea.
"This is functionally equivalent to an always-on phone call from you to Facebook." Except all the preprocessing can be done in the phone boiling the 3kB/s to 20 bytes per second, only when speaking. If you speak 4 hours a day, that's still less than 300K per daily digest. The built-in hardware of the phone is custom-made to make this easy and power-efficient (the GSM encoding!) and since it doesn't keep broadcasting live, with transmitter powered down the power requirements are minimal.
So, no need to keep gigabytes of database on the phone, no need to transmit gigabytes live.
And then their "nail to the coffin" - their description of Narcissistic Fallacy - "we were instantly struck by how small a fraction of Facebook content even triggered interest from the targeting machine. On the order of single-digit percentages[...]"
So over 1% of raw data fed in was producing results valuable for targeting ads? And you're trying to tell me you were disappointed about this, not ecstatic??
Yeah, lawyer's job is all about performing mental gymnastics and obscuring it so it "feels" right.
It's all about hiding the sliding scale of "able to give informed consent and/or willfully initiate". Same entity may be treated as having a full legal capacity/responsibility for one thing, being not legally capable or able to consent person for another, be an owned object for yet another; be simultaneously a willful, legally capable perpetrator of a crime and an unable to consent victim to the crime performed by the legally capable self.
It's a total bullshit, but a skilled lawyer can tell it in such a way you won't spot it's bullshit.
From bulk of available data, completely new, formerly unavailable data can be extracted. Correlations, statistics, trends - stuff "hidden in plain sight". Use geolocation and racial background and you can reliably predict credit capacity. Analyze shopping patterns and you can find hobbies. Finding political preferences, in particular "hesitant, open to suggestion" is definitely possible following history of likes on various articles, and sites frequented.
Of course the excuse of "misusing" here is total bullshit. Facebook constantly misuses personal information. Their app listens in while your phone is in sleep mode, to fine tune their ad suggestions,
The only "misuse" here was "regular use, but helping Trump".
Well, I remember in one state, they put the girl in a juvenile correctional facility and in the sex offender registry, with "production of CP" on permanent record. Surely she should be grateful, that's all to protect kids like her from the evil pedophiles!
I'm not defending pedophiles, but the the scale of the witch hunt has run out of control. This is no longer about protecting the children, it's a witch hunt for the hunt's sake. A lost child won't be helped by honest children for fear of being labeled pedophiles... until actual pedophile finds it. And few dare to call out and demand some sanity... because they'll be inevitably labeled pedophiles or pedophile apologists.
Well, depends, and sometimes requires some mental gymnastics.
If a 12yo takes nude selfies and posts them on the net without her parents knowing... since she didn't consent, and did it of her own volition (say, "wanting to be cool like the porn stars"), but she can't consent, did the porn generate itself? Or did she produce pornography - able to consent to being the creator but not to being the subject? Or is it "involuntary production of porn", akin to the distinction between manslaughter and murder?
Oh, you can argue, sure, but whatever argument you come up with, heavy mental gymnastics is involved.
Pretty big, but probably smaller than what the fuel takes.
The problem though isn't just touching at ~1m/s, it's touching within 89 meters of the landing pad radius. Parachute leaves the rocket at mercy of random winds. Soyuz is considered landing "on the spot" when it lands within 1.5km of the planned point.

Now that's a good business sense! They are CREATING a market for their flagship product!

Definitely not 101. 101 would tell you this works and is profitable. How to actually pull it off so that it works is more of PhD level.
Why, intelligence info useful for the evil Republicans!

Will the slider be spring-loaded, like in the Matrix?
