The reason Amazon treats its warehouse employees so badly is because it considers them a temporary and costly inconvenience. Their only role is to serve as temporary placeholders until robots get good enough to run the warehouses entirely, then there will be no more meatbag employees.
This will finally allow Amazon to realize their long-awaited goal of operating their warehouses with NO human employees at all! Then they won't even have to worry about sabotaged machinery, since there will be no workers in the place at all.
Norway consists of a mostly peaceful homogeneous society. Send them a few hundred thousand MS-13s who are from places where human life is very cheap, and see what happens to their society. It will break apart really fast.
Most ghetto-dwellers never had any of that freedom to begin with. They don't give up shit when they go to prison. Depending on gang affiliation, they can live a much better life behind bars than they ever did outside.
Name a society that bases it's entire operations and legal system on hard objective facts, where feelings and opinions never enter the picture. Where is this practiced with perfect consistency? It would have to be some place where humans don't exist.
If UPS drones operate anything like their human drivers, they'll just drop packages in random locations, mark them "delivered", and nobody ever sees them again.
Manufactured goods have not seen a noticeable decrease in any quality across the board.
You obviously haven't bought a major appliance in the past 10 or so years. The best appliances today are of lower quality than the cheapest ones used to be.
100 years ago companies were in business to actually build stuff. Sure they wanted to make money, but it was understood that you had to spend money to make money. Today, nobody has any interest in building anything that won't be insanely profitable right away.
Throwing money away on "app companies" that will never be profitable such as Uber, Snapchat, etc no problem at all. VCs never tire of wasting money on anything that attracts eyeballs, figuring that someday they can somehow monitize it. But building physical infrastructure, sorry that's too expensive!
Try getting modern taxpayers to support a bond issue to expand the library for the purpose of storing more physical books, at a time when fewer and fewer people are interested in physical books. Try being a politician facing re-election who voted for such bonds. The attack ads would write themselves.
My utility (ComEd, a division of Exelon) did the opposite. And they want to raise it even more based on "peak consumption". If there are benefits to smart meters, the subjects of Illinois certainly haven't seen any.
You can tell a company IT department is run by clueless morons if they install McAfee products, which have always caused many more problems then they've prevented.
No, that's not how it works. You interview for jobs requiring virtualization skills, and you tell them you have virtualization experience. You can talk the talk and answer any questions asked of you intelligently. That's all a modern tech interview is about nowdays anyhow: winning the quiz show. Your future employers don't know precisely what you did on the last job and don't really give a fuck anyway. Just so long as you fit their salary requirements and pass their quiz game in the interview.
I eagerly await the responses about that one guy who's new boss knew his old boss. They're the extreme exception, not the rule.
The problem is, you'd have to somehow implement the tax where it becomes effective world-wide all on the same day. Otherwise the first market to pass the tax will see a flight of trading activity to other markets that haven't yet implemented the tax.

Where are you applying? Big companies in small towns?
The last full week I was able to take off was in 1983.
That's your fault.
Got some numbers to prove your theory?

Google is the worst search engine in existence, except for all the others.
LOL, block Word documents. That would be fun to explain to your userbase, and management.
Yeah I know. Everyone knows.
How original. Did you come up with this all by yourself?

That is very true, but the Trump justice department will operate under very different rules.

That surprises me. I've never heard of cable TV contracts being negotiable.

IPv6 is a very typical problem, in that if you continue to ignore it, it will eventually go away.
LOL techbros
It being United, I'm surprised they paid at all. They treated him WAY better than they do a paying customer who gets bumped from an overbooked flight.
