It is a trick, a scam of misinformation. Pause and think about it, they are studying currently existing companies and the impact that adopting automated devices had upon them. Still miss it, how about I call those current companies, only those companies that survived the adoption of automated devices, the other companies, the ones that failed and do not now exist, well, as they don't exist they can not be evaluated.
So the companies that adapted to automation and produced more dominated the market and hired more. The companies that failed, went bankrupt and fired everyone, for the purposes of this study, well, the don't currently exist hence they could not be studied.
Hardly surprising there are more millionaires in India than in Russia, as there are many more peasants who can be ruthlessly exploited in India than in Russia and if fact try to do in Russia what you can get away with in India (in terms of what is charged to customers for workers labour compared to what is paid to workers for their actual labour and the working conditions they are forced to work in or starve) and you likely would be, prosecuted or killed. This is likely to make Russia safer for business than India because inevitably that exploitation will explode in the faces of the millionaire exploiters class and when those Indians get fired up in mob mentality they can become really destructive (hence growing levels or censorship in India).
Basically we need more computer programming taught at all levels of schools, so more jock strap douche bags and cheerleader wannabes can beat the piss out of nerds and geeks, when the jockstraps and cheerleaders fail at coding, which they will do in huge numbers.
You will not teach one person destined to be a trades person or a food services industry person or unemployed production worker, much code at all but you will piss them off no end and their frustration will be targeted at those few who succeed or is that fail to hide their skills and abilities by just doing barely enough to pass.
So computer geeks and nerds with historically poor social skills are designing how the most intense social environment, schools, should function, yeah right, that's going to work well. Even worse corporate psychopath executives are also sticking their grasping claws in, for some of the worst reasons imaginable.
There is an old saying in geek world, "do not feed the trolls", apparently this needs to be updated with "or the threads they purposefully generate to flood page 1 of comments". Why would they waste this on a seeming non story, it seems like a practice run to see what they can get away with.
Actually this seating arrangement brings to mind the vomit comet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Quite amusing to think of the chain reaction of people facing each other as those taking off backward find the ride most interesting.
No matter how well run a corporation is, it can be bought by a vulture capitalist and run into the ground in a crazed profit making scheme. Government departments can not be bought as least not legally.
OH that right, we will all go spy on GCHQ and see if they have ever used the data inappropriately because of course they wont prosecute you for espionage and lock you up for life. If you seek inappropriate data then your intention is to use it inappropriately. So the intention in targeting political activism organisations is to attack individuals with false prosecutions that are meant to punish with legal fees, loss of employment during the trial process, threats against other family members and then the case extended out for as long as possible, with threats of extreme punishment to try to force a guilty when innocent plea. They are seeking to cripple these organisations by targeted key individuals at key times in order to cause maximum disruption. This is not done for security of state but for security of political affiliation and is driven from the top by corrupt politicised appointments. Straight out of the police state play book.
It has nothing at all to do with economics and everything to do with psychology and genetics. Regardless of availability of resources psychopaths and narcissistic will seek to distort availability in order to generate exclusivity in order to feed their own ego and lusts. They will actively seek to subvert the system and create chaos in order to be able to exploit that chaos. They will seek to lie, cheat, steal and kill, that is just the way they are, it is their genetic nature and they will seek to create an economic system that favours them.
If you had a fully functioning Star Trek economy, they would actively seek to subvert it and bring it down because they absolutely do not want a system based around the equitable distribution of resources, they want one based around lies, the lies they tell. Lie the most infamous lie of it, "greed is human nature", no it is just the nature of that parasitic sub-species psychopaths.
To achieve a Star Trek socio economic system, the psychopaths have to be removed first.
If it is not 'OUR LAND' why should we defend it or you? Psychopaths and narcissists routinely seek to exploit people by any and all means possible. The obvious one paying for less or even nothing for services than they charge at maximum prices or even false charges to end users. It is 'ALL' public property, we just allow 'LIMITED' private control under specific laws and regulations.
Perhaps the creation of restricted access and especially restricted egress (people and technology, you enter the zone naked with nothing) 'Public Wild Human Zones', where individuals could be allowed to run wild or even by exiled to those zones, would suit libertarians. Humans who want to express their animal side could be more readily handled by being able to destroy themselves and each other in those zones. Perhaps you belong in one? We could record the chaos, it would make for interesting analytical viewing for some and raw entertainment for others, especially those in turn destined for exile to the wild human zones.
Certainly better than execution or even life imprisonment. Just let them express their true nature upon themselves and each other, for good or ill.
We had to nuke the site from orbit to neutralise the shoplifter. Basically for swatting to work, law enforcement must be a bunch of fuck ups, end of story. There is no excuse for subjecting a whole community to that level of risk, crazed steroid freaks running around with fully automatic weapons, rounds chambered and safeties off.
Yes, every time the police endanger the lives of citizens, let alone actually kill them, they have to be right 100% of the time, fail and jail. That should be the reality and it is in countries where the police have killed less people in a past fifty than US law enforcement has just in the past month.
Cheap ass people who buy stuff on special at end of life expecting miracles ie believing the lies they are told because they want to believe what favours them. That distorts the measure because of course by then many people believe the product is a failure. Now if they were early adopter failure selectors, hmm, now isn't that what early adopters who pick the right product are, people who have figured out what the losing products are and picked the winner.
Everything about bit coin is scammy from the get go. From the psychopath term mining bit coin, you are not mining, you are simply insanely burning energy for nothing wasting computing cycles on a complete illusion. Secret transaction seem to be the goal, especially for the originators who computer cycled huge numbers of bit coins for little effort, the top of the pyramid scheme. Who backs bit coin, no one, don't compare it to a countries currency, a whole country and it government backs that and they still fail, so what chance does an imaginary currency whose only benefit is the facilitation of crime and tax evasion have, considering that countries can effectively zero it's value by legally making it illegal at any time and you know it is just a matter of time.
A shark does not play with it food, that stupid meme is a stupid meme. Consider the learning exercise, you are born into a sea with no help or guidance, just genetic guidance about likely edible and inedible flavours in the sea you swim in as well as specific trial and error testing method for food sources. So safe trial and error method, be wary, approach target carefully see what it does, hmm, not much. So swing around again and bite, not a too small bite, else target will escape, not a too big because there could be a negative reaction, counter attack or toxic response. The just right bite, which will cripple the target reducing the chance of escape but minimise ingestion of possibly toxic substances or risk of counter attack. Now hang back for a bit and wait to see if minimal blood consumed toxic, takes a few minutes, cant not wait too long else other predators will turn up but need to wait long enough to make sure. Of course that's only the first time that particular target is met, from there on in, easy prey eat at first sight. What makes human difficult initial prey is of course once bitten they seek to immediately get out of the water and they are a vengeful species and do not tolerate eaters of people in any form. Keep in mind, 'missing, presumed drowned', can and often does mean successful shark attack, we only ever really see the failed shark attacks, shark learning about a new potential prey. A successful shark attack you will hear nothing about except a missing person report.

If you can shoot at them, they can shoot at you. The longer you take to aim, the longer you are exposed and someone else can aim at you or as is more often the case, take a snap shot at someone a few metres away and hit you by accident as they spray out bullets. Somehow a exo-skeleton that makes me stick my gun up with my head exposed behind it while it demands I take aim, kind of seems wildly offensive. Reality if the people you are training are too incompetent to learn to shoot relatively accurately with minimal training, you should not be giving them a gun because in the field they will revert to pray and spray and that is worse for your side rather than the other side. Many armies make recruits run/march for fifteen kilometres, then immediately get you on the firing range to shoot off twenty shoots and if you miss with too many shoots you fail and you are out. Of course it depends whether you want professional soldiers or just cannon fodder you can chew up and spit out, dumping them on the streets with crippling injuries.
More the reality is that human society as a whole has to relearn the lesson of the difference between the allocation or resources and services versus the allocation of imaginary capital. Entirely too much emphasis is being placed upon the fantasy of imaginary money making more imaginary money and somehow that imaginary resource equating to real actual resources like food, water, energy, accommodation and clothing.
The future of capital has to change and it needs a realistic basis, that logical basis will likely be energy generation capacity. You can do lots and lots of stuff with energy, it's generation and use can make or break our world. More clean energy means making far better use of resources. With oodles of energy you could desalinate sufficient water to turn the worlds deserts in farms and turn current farms located in more fertile high rainfall regions back into rich bio diverse national parks, you could more effectively manage the world resources.
Tying capital to energy generation capacity, would create energy generation growth and create a focus on making energy cheaper, to generate more capital. Part of that energy equation is of course paying to clean up the pollution created by generating energy, a real cost, so logically cleaner energy generates higher returns.
Custom OS is not about what is in it but all about what is left out. Custom OS for appliances that only has in it what is actually necessary for that appliance, maybe just maybe incorporate application into the OS rather than a separate post boot load.
I think future trend will be a shift from more flexible universal operating systems to more modular, take every out that is not necessary for this particular appliance operating system, this to simplify security and even application level features become modules added into the operating system, so one quick boot to full functionality. So a much more modular operating system.
Human Rated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Seriously only idiot conservatives could call a full test prior to using a human crew a waste. I'll bet the conservative response to the test was, just stick a bunch of liberal scientists as crew in an untested (full in flight test) and if it blows up, who cares, just fewer atheist scientists so a good thing.
A full test is not a waste, if it fails at least it fails without killing anyone. They could adjust the test to add a science package and thus get some additional value.
Your propaganda is mind boggling false https://www.youtube.com/watch?.... He was a part of it, he did not create it and he warned about it. Socialism wants to spend money on hospitals and schools and social welfare. The right wingers want military for the main reason, if they can not get want they want via diplomacy and espionage, they will invade kill all who protest and take it. Infrastructure spending is socialism.
Slashdot ebbs and flows, and as old readers and commenter move on, they feel it is dying (it is really just their interest is dying) and new readers and commenter try to shift it's content. Paid trolls of course abound, more in registered users than in actual individuals but they tend to fail and give up but they always return.
It seems like that coder because they obviously enjoy coding fails to grasp that many coders abandon coding because they do not like it. Those coders go on to sales and support and they do a good job because of they coding background. This does not stop coders from looking down their nose at those ex-coders now sales people.
Likely his wife in learning how to interact with her child had picked up skills and abilities that will help her deal with the typical troublesome customer.
It is all so funny. Some management tools at M$ generated glorious completely spurious spreadsheets how that investment of $2.5 was going to generate huge returns. Now those people who created those spreadsheets just dumped the spreadsheets and the hot potatoes on others and said make it work because that spreadsheets says it can work. This leaves those poor victims with coming up with all sorts of crazy ideas to make it work, even though, in their hearts of hearts, they know it is absolutely impossible. Of course the more crazy ideas they come up with, desperate to generate that return on an investment, most players are now getting bored with, the worse it makes that investment look. Next will come putting the squeeze on players to generate more income and which inevitably drives them away. Then of course the biggest threat to mine craft, 'LEGO'. The huge advantages with LEGO as a competitor for Minecraft, is LEGOs merchandising is already rock solid and of course if they do completely custom sets, what you build in a virtually lego world, they can sell you as a package and LEGO has a whole range of games and media content.
This is I believe that M$ might have been hoping for mine craft, only problem is mine craft in the real world is a great big zero and it has a huge existing competitor. M$ should really have bought or partnered with LEGO, that was the more sound and logical choice.
Private corporations also generate "stifling, inattentive bureaucracy, under motivated employees", this as a direct result of nepotism and of course under paying and overworking employees that corporations routinely treat as disposable.
So private corporations exhibit all the worst behaviour of government organisation they just another layer of crap on top being greed and egocentric management and nepotism.
Seriously Wall street should be gutted and no corporation should ever be allowed to be worth more than a billion dollars unless it is willing to abandon the protection of limited liability for share holders. Share holders in over sized corporations should be fully liable for those debts generated by those corporations due to the impact upon society when they inevitably fail.
So a total success in the eyes of the military industrial complex plus the added bonus of various US vassal states (Britain, Australia, Italy, Turkey, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Canada), who are required under threat of disruptive espionage activities to pay tribute buying that hunk of junk. So billions more in income and double plus bonus, it will need to be replaced in the near future. It seems to look like the US military industrial complex has picked up on the M$ tactic of every 2nd version being crap, so schmuck customers feel better when they pay again for the other every 2nd version that is at least somewhat functional and usable.
Make no mistake no matter how crap the F35 is, those vassal states will pay full price for them and for their replacement, it is most definitely not a choice. Not only will they have to buy them, they will be required to say how great they are.
I am a non-native Australian and hence things like a 'Fair Go' http://www.theage.com.au/news/..., supporting the 'Battler' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., cause me some problem with regard to the treatment of the 'adjective' people of Australia (adjective as the Australian government refers to them via an adjective rather than the names of their appropriate nations) and just like other countries their culture and religion are somehow considered foreign to Australian religion and culture. So it is not the question of a particular cultural or religious element but how it is refereed to as not being part of that countries culture and religious elements.
You are being purposefully obtuse. They are American hence their culture and religions are also American, not my definition of what is or is not American culture, theirs. They are American hence their culture and religions as also American. It is obvious that the only American culture celebrated in America is immigrant culture and native culture is excluded from public recognition and celebration. Every time they challenge actions based upon their native culture and religion, it is emphatically rejected by the majority of Americans and the American government as not being American. Nothing to do with what I define as being elements of American but everything to do with 'ALL' immigrant nations and how native culture, religion and history are not accepted as being the countries culture, religion and history but being separate from it.

Make no mistake no matter how crap the F35 is, those vassal states will pay full price for them and for their replacement, it is most definitely not a choice. Not only will they have to buy them, they will be required to say how great they are.
I am a non-native Australian and hence things like a 'Fair Go' http://www.theage.com.au/news/..., supporting the 'Battler' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., cause me some problem with regard to the treatment of the 'adjective' people of Australia (adjective as the Australian government refers to them via an adjective rather than the names of their appropriate nations) and just like other countries their culture and religion are somehow considered foreign to Australian religion and culture. So it is not the question of a particular cultural or religious element but how it is refereed to as not being part of that countries culture and religious elements.
You are being purposefully obtuse. They are American hence their culture and religions are also American, not my definition of what is or is not American culture, theirs. They are American hence their culture and religions as also American. It is obvious that the only American culture celebrated in America is immigrant culture and native culture is excluded from public recognition and celebration. Every time they challenge actions based upon their native culture and religion, it is emphatically rejected by the majority of Americans and the American government as not being American. Nothing to do with what I define as being elements of American but everything to do with 'ALL' immigrant nations and how native culture, religion and history are not accepted as being the countries culture, religion and history but being separate from it.
