Who ever thought that it's a great idea to connect our Dams, Power grids, Nuclear reactors, ballot machines, weather warning systems, water supply system and shit like that to the internet, must be a god damn genius.
This happens all the time. Investment banks do this all the time in the name of interviews. A head hunter is hired to call up somebody from a rival bank, with the lure to double their pay. The candidate attends the interview at an unofficial location, such as a hotel, and the interview team questions him about the rivals products, algorithms etc. Once they get what they want, the interview is over. There are entire companies that are engaged in corporate espionage. They do this to extract insider information about companies on the pretext of interviews and sell the information to hedge funds for money.
"In 2017, the country saw $15 trillion in mobile payments, the Wall Street Journal reported...". China's nominal GDP is $12.24 trillion. And the statistic claims $15 trillion was made in Mobile payments! Gas.
Surely this "reporter" was paid by brats in Cupertino. Any sort of analysis of cheap phones would require comparing a few cheap smart phones before coming to any conclusion. This "reporter" buys one single phone and concludes all cheap phones are bad.
Is this some kind of way to pump money into IBM's Blue Brain Project ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... )? As I remember, that project was trying to build a rat's neocortical column and was headed by Henry Markram and was funded by Swiss govt.

because people report vulnerabilities against very old versions of Android which, while they do still exist in the wild, constitute a fairly small number of devices...
Android KitKat, which was released in 2013, is still being used on 22.1% of the devices out there. And 36.3% of the devices out there run KitKat or older versions of Android.
Amazon is a global company and people outside the US can work for it too. So when you say 'Federal minimum rate' which country are you referring to? I assume its the US. But USD 7.95 per hour is more than the minimum wage per day in many third world countries.
Now a days tech companies are all about creating too big to fail entities. Be it Uber, Amazon, Google, Facebook... The amount of trust we are placing on them, our dependency on them, can turn out to be dangerous in the long run.
That's what I was about to say. Arbitrage in labor markets takes a long time to go to the no-arbitrage state. There is friction from Labor Laws, Labor migration rules, other local laws in general (such as data privacy laws, data warehousing laws).
And then there is government interference. The US government for instance, encourages international Phd's and Masters students to find jobs in the US by giving them OPT permits and favoring them for H1B etc.
And then there are managers, who know that if there is no one around to report to them, their job will soon vanish too. So they resist outsourcing of jobs under them by hiring bad people overseas, by showing that the overseas workers can't handle it all (which to some extent is true) etc. All these artificial barriers delay the convergence in labor markets. So ya, you can expect high wages for longer than you think its possible. In the mean time, try to change the rules of the game to stay ahead.
The method used has deep implications for security and encryption methods, but not faster than light data transfer. Just wanted to clear that up.
The parent explicitly says that faster than light data transfer is not possible. It's really sad we are unable to capitalize on the 'spooky action at a distance' phenomena.
The key takeaways from this article are:...said an Air Force spokeswoman....The F-35 program has a proven track record of solving issues as they arise. Wow!! That instills a lot of confidence in F-35's.
Mark Laret is a genius. He is a winner. So his pay is well deserved. People who work hard for UCSF are losers. People should learn to work for themselves. They should view themselves as a company that is contracting its services to another company. And deliver just what is needed. They should seize every opportunity to grow their own company, even if it comes at the expense of their employer.
Even then it does not add up. $50M/80 jobs/8 years = $78125 per employee per year!! So much for an Indian HCL employee!! They are worth more like $20K per year.
In this case doing simple math shows that the replacements are coming at $125K per year. $50M for 80 jobs for 5 years. Outsourcing is actually costly. I have had first hand experience for an outsourced project at AT&T. The Indian IT co. ended up charging 1.5 times more than what the in house employees were being billed for. And the quality sucked, and yes the management had no clue. They thought it was a smart move, patted themselves on their backs and took home a good bonus I guess.
Go get an MBA instead. The costlier the blunder you make with an MBA, the bigger the bonus.
How can we end up eating all the food meant for the whole year? Who is giving the food for credit then? The Fed? Are the plants doing "Quantitative Easing" of food then?
Very true. It is the fear of the consequences of non-conformity that makes people conform. And seeing bright people conforming, turns the dumb into fanatics. Its a vicious loop. I would have modded you up, but I do not have mod points.

The lack of cues IS the cue. You are free to pick up any thing and run away with it. Most people don't know that.

Leaving -10% of the coral reef in good shape.
Yet another shallow article on HBR. I can safely skip these HBR articles. These are more baits for unsuspecting businesses than anything else.

Jelly Bean 11.6%
KitKat 22.6%

I want it too! I will take that money and relocate to a third world country and live a easy and comfortable life there.

Why isn't this being covered on Yahoo news? This is why the Yahoo portal sucks...
