He was a "cloud" salesman, so it looks like he did adapt to changes. This being said, experienced/old people often know what actually works for their customers. Sometimes on-premise solutions are best from a security, reliability, and privacy standpoint instead of airy-fairy "cloud" solutions.
If he was in sales, he was probably mostly on commission. And apparently, he did bring in the sales, so he was earning IBM more than he was costing them.
It's not a nanny state, it's a corporate-military state. Intel showing off its military technology. Think of it as the modern equivalent of artillery (which fireworks were meant to represent).
As long as you do your implementation well, future support is at the discretion of the client and how much they want to pay. As long as you're paid for the development and the client is happy, not your problem unless you (and they) want it to be.
The best gigs are found the old-fashioned way, word of mouth...
(1) Do I.T. for small/middle sized businesses on a freelance basis. This gets you connections to do more interesting jobs -- custom app development, databases, etc.
(2) Stay connected to a local university, either by taking classes or teaching as an adjunct. Lots of grad students who want to be the next best startup.
The issue is, what if it doesn't SEE the pedestrian? What if it drives off a bridge to avoid a pedestrian, hits a train, and derails it? It's still a 3000 lb hunk of steel moving at significant speed, regardless of what it's carrying.
Even with fetal stem cells, it's still worth it. Abortions will happen, legal or not. Might as well derive some use from them.
This being said, the goal is to grow lungs from a patient's OWN stem cells -- removes the risk of rejection.
What's wrong with not being promoted -- just do your job well, take your pay and vacation time. Work to live, don't live to work. A snazzy job title isn't the pinnacle of human achievement.
Military cares about items 1 and 3. The US used UDMH/N2O4 in its Atlas ICBMs -- had a few nasty explosions. Even if servicemen are expendable, silos and rockets are not.

You mean a "nipplemouse?"
Can you give it a WiFi network with no Internet?
As far as the mic, a pin pushed through the mic-hole would likely destroy it.
You can still buy something new, snip the WiFi antenna, and just use HDMI inputs.
Subsidizing useful things like education (as opposed to US military homicide sprees) is part of being a civilised society.

Just as bad, but differently bad.

Why copy the brain? Figure out how to get it to self-repair and literally plug it into a new body...

If they can use humans' own cells to print the lungs, they can do away with the rejection issue...
Not really - a lung transplant is a major procedure. Doing it more than a few times would likely kill the patient.
Sarcasm? Why is it a bad thing not to be "top dog?" Being less innovative with better quality of life is just fine with me.
NPs seem to do fine. There's also research/academic nursing. So not always...
Go back to school. Get a master's or Ph. D. Be paid to teach or do research on the public dime...
That's when you job-jump laterally between companies... loyalty is a cruel joke in IT.
Hire people as term-contract workers with the understanding that they're temporary unless otherwise informed.
Not enough. Money is not a substitute for time off and free time.
If the spike is a year long, time to hire more people vs abusing your own workers.

The medical field in the US still values its employees, unlike IT.
