So does the boy scouts program indoctrinate kids that they should harass, belittle, and ostracize homosexuals, or does BSA only do that in the real world?
I honestly think that balance is key. No, your kid shouldn't be in front of a screen all day every day, and TV and games are never a substitute for parental attention. Kids need socialization, kinesthetic learning, etc. However, the AAP says my 15mo daughter shouldn't get any screen time except for video calls until she's 18mo. I think that's a bit too far. We DO spend a few minutes a day with some learning apps, usually 10min or less. Because of it, she's starting to associate letters with the sounds they make, and she's starting to differentiate different numbers and letters. For her age, that is absolutely awesome. We use endless academy, khan academy kids, and as stupid as it sounds, purina makes a "cat fishing" game for cats which is super simple but seems to be helping our daughter build hand-eye coordination. There are probably a ton more simple things that would be helpful. So, I believe some amount of purposeful screen time used well can definitely benefit even very young children. But it should never be the "only" thing.
You're forgetting one thing in your example - if foreign steel goes up to $120, that means there is now a massive run for domestic steel. That means domestic steel prices skyrocket due to demand - this is basic supply/demand curve stuff from economics class. So, the price will rise to that of the foreign steel, or even higher. So, if you make finished steel goods, no matter what, you pay a much higher price, and domestic companies get screwed.
Because the current administration is run by freaking morons. The tariffs are against raw steel imports, not finished steel goods. So that means that US based companies that take raw steel and turn it into finished products now have to pay a much higher amount for raw materials. If you cut off foreign raw steel, now the price of domestic raw steel skyrockets due to demand. That's basic economics. Either way, those domestic companies face massive increases in costs and a loss of most of their margin. Oh, and because the tariffs only focus on raw steel, they now have to compete against international companies importing finished steel products who don't have to face those same tariffs. It's basically a policy assembled by people who have no freaking clue how economics work. But what else do you expect from a guy who literally destroys everything he touches, supported by people who don't understand that macroeconomics and microeconomics aren't the same thing.
This is 100% true. My grandfather was a gunsmith. He showed me how you can use a rubber band, a nail, and an old car antenna to make a small calibre zip gun. Like you said, guns have been made from the 1300s. And almost every failure prone part has been engineered away and combined into a modern bullet (wadding, spark, gunpowder, projectile). At this point, most of what a gun does is hold a bullet in place so the primer can get hit by some kind of pin, and point the projectile and gasses somewhere.
I wouldn't worry, given the current political climate in the US, our leadership has done everything it can to scare intelligent people away from our borders.
If you are going to pay someone 150k/year, do you want to bring them on board in a state where they are currently useless, and then have to spend 2-5 years training them to make them productive? What if you are looking for a candidate who is capable of being productive now if you are actively competing against another company?
US being a member state doesn't mean it actually controls the development. I can be a member of the NRA, that doesn't mean I control what it does.
3GPP is the US approach to the IP Multimedia Subsystem working group. IMS itself is most heavily deployed in Europe due to its complexity, and has only seen minor penetration in the US. Thus, the majority of the working group is still controlled by international communities. You don't know what you're talking about.
Like other posters have said above, if your company can't find skilled labor, you're not paying enough, your company sucks, or you need to think about internships
Or, there are niches that you simply don't want to consider because it doesn't fit your narrative.
Six figure salaries for employees await folks who can architect nationwide voice networks and stay on top of ITU telecommunication standards, understand telecom architecture standards and rising trends, comprehends and can build NFV and SDN technologies, etc. Apply at your nearest MSO or carrier. It's all infrastructure and can't easily contracted or outsourced. I've done over 90 interviews in the past 6 months, with 10 different recruiters. Very few qualified candidates who understand the technology in enough depth to actually be useful without sinking huge amount of cash just to bring them to a level where they are productive.
A huge problem is you have people who get an A+ certification or an MCSE who somehow think that that will make them stand out in the tech world these days. It doesn't.
The company is established in the US in one sector, however continuing development in that sector exists outside the country. Several hundred billion in infrastructure are already established stateside. For example, a company like CenturyLink, Comcast, AT&T, or Level3 already has a massive footprint, and is well established. But, new development is most likely building off of standards orgs that are largely based in Europe. Do you really expect them to just close up shop in the US simply because most of the people who understand and develop those standards are found in Europe?
Telecommunications research and development. Most of the standards bodies involved are international - ITU, 3GPP, etc. So, if you need someone who is an expert on their specs they are rarely going to exist in the USA.
It's not globalist bullshit. I assist in doing hiring for the jobs my company has open. The number of candidates who simply have no experience is astounding. Especially when you are dealing with niche standards that aren't heavily used in the US. Is there H1B abuse? Sure, just like there is abuse of everything. But this will only serve to make it harder for people who are using the program legitimately.
"If we need to compete in technology, we should be hiring 100% locally.
I'm sorry, that's BS. There is no incetive for someone to learn technology if it isn't used in the US actively - that means no local talent pool outside of people who maybe worked internationally. If a domestic company begins using that technology, they have no choice but to pull from overseas. Likewise, a lot of major standards bodies are international (3GPP, ITU, etc). If you need someone with that tier of expertise, they are rarely going to be American. But, hey, whatever helps you justify your nationalist agenda.
First, I reported your post for being abusive abusive. Want me to take your argument seriously and have a real meaningful dialog? Talk like an adult. Second, yes, companies do use H1B visas this way. Good luck finding someone who actually has experience working on niche technologies in the US that aren't currently booming, or for standards that don't exist in the US. Guess what, if there is no one using the technology domestically, people rarely study it. That leaves companies who try to use the tech to shop overseas. Example, finding someone who fully understands the IP multimedia subsystem for telephony, understands the interfaces, and maybe helped participated in formulation of 3GPP spec. That's the sort of folks we hire, and they don't exist domestically. 3GPP IMS spec is barely used in the US, which means no talent pool outside of overseas.
There is absolutely H1B abuse out there, but acting like that is the only way it is used is simply silly.
I really wish these morons would understand that the US needs to compete in technology. And when you get to the bleeding edge of technology, the people who truly understand and are working to develop the "new things" are usually just a handful. And that handful of people rarely lives in the US. In my career, there are about 70 people around the world who work on the same technology, and the vast majority aren't American. We already have to get tons of H1B visas to compete. There simply aren't people in the states with the skillset, knowlege, and desire to work in the area.

They have enough machine learning ability to look and tell if something is a hot dog or not a hot dog. Or are they going to rely on human beings to review every photo and validate that it isn't, say, a cat photo?
Parents need to remember that your kid is learning from your behavior. If you have your nose in your phone and tablet all day every day, you are teaching your kid that that is acceptable behavior. No matter how much you try to restrict their access to it, they are very likely to mimic you in the end. If you use a phone and tablet sparsely and put an emphasis on doing other things, the kid is much more likely to do the same. So, giving them a tablet isn't that huge of a deal so long as you yourself don't have one surgically attached at the hip.
So, I also wonder if any focus has been given to the health impacts of breathing in polyethylene glycol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerin, etc. By volume, you're using far more of those than you are the nicotine.
Likewise, the flavors can have any number of different ingredients that are ok for ingestion, but not necessarily for inhaling.
I always get the tonic water. I'm not a huge fan of tonic alone on the ground (too bitter), but at altitude it tastes amazingly lemony, with the bitterness being quite refreshing.
While I have never directly worked in hospital IT, I know plenty of folks who have. I did work for a PACS/RIS/HIS vendor, and I spent about 6 years working beside them. Not only do hospital IT teams chronically get underfunded and understaffed, they have to deal with vendors who give absolutely asinine support requirements ("no, our software only runs on windows NT!" or "Sorry, HP only allows you to use windows server for storage appliances for this device, why no, microsoft has never released a service pack for it, why do you ask?"). Worse, a lot of their extremely expensive equipment has embedded OS's that will likely never see an update because the vendors simply don't supply them, or because risking a bad update can quite literally cost lives. It's a really, really tough IT segment. People like to derp at them "well why don't you just update things!" without realizing that in many cases they simply can't because of the vendors who release the hardware not providing adequate support. Preventative measures would be their best bet, but boards of trustees rarely see it as worthwhile to give those IT departments funding to implement those preventative measures well. It's a shit sandwich.
I'm sure that a large anonymous donation from Microsoft will make the "do not recommend" turn into a "Recommended A+++++++" just like it did for Apple's Macbook Pro.
Sh was a successful musician before she ever married her husband thanks to the Dresden Dolls. That you automatically assume a woman married to a famous man is successful only because of the man in her life is pretty damn sexist.

And we do. That doesn't mean we can't also do activities that do require screens. It isn't a zero-sum game.

Well, it makes sense, considering she literally has been pushing for this kind of funding for the arts, and even has a Ted talk and book about it.
