It's been a while. But I deal with recent college grads _all_the_time_.
The good ones understand theory (that they got in college), have practical knowledge they kept up with since _before_ college.
The really bad ones, tried to learn practicals in 'college'. Their skills will be obsolete in no time, if they aren't obsolete already. With no depth of understanding, they will be lost.
It's still true that in 4 years, you can learn a good slice of theory, or you can learn a good slice of rapidly expiring practical skills. Thank dog I didn't spend college learning how to configure and admin Netmare. While it wouldn't have been immediately useless, my time in college was much better spent on VMS and Unix. Sure, not much practical knowledge left, but the point was to understand, not learn monkey skills like some Devry grad.
At many jobs in Germany, you can be liable to your former employer if you quit outside a scheduled window (often every 6 months) in your employment contract. Same is true for them firing you.
Which is a partial explanation for why it's so hard to GET a job in Germany.
IIRC all naturalized citizens in the US have to give up their original citizenships. IIRC there is an exception for Israel, but that might be another legality (Jewish people can become Israeli citizens without giving up their original citizenship).
Most dual citizenship people in the USA get their American citizenship from birth and their alternative citizenship from their parents nationality.
You mean ship it to local retailers by the truck/train load?
The price of _local_ ground shipping exceeds the price of dry dog food by a substantial margin. Try and get local delivery of a bag of dog food from a grocery that delivers. The delivery charge (possibly obfuscated) will exceed the price of the dog food, if they will even deliver that low a price order, at all.
Chewy.com is losing money on every bag, running on VC money, same as pets.com was.
Ammonia was the first 'widely used' refrigerant. Granting not as widely as later. Early commercial ice making industry ran on ammonia, as did early electric ice boxes.
See the text message exchange between the (feds/lovers) working on the Clinton (investigation/cover up). They would never have exchanged those texts, if they knew they'd see the light of day.
Now they have to get honest jobs (not really, they'll have work telling libs what they want to hear forever).
This whole thing will produce one good outcome. Serous information security in politics. Next time, Russian hackers won't even be plausible. Internal leaker will be the only answer. I bet both Ds and Rs have deep cover operatives in each other.
The point is: Technology is moving too fast for university training to keep up. People need to continually re-train. People that do that already have jobs.
Pointing out that 400 year old technology (mechanical watches) is 'trainable', isn't on point. If they found low residue oils that broke up the Rolex maintenance gravy train, they wouldn't use it.
Also: List is woefully incomplete...Wikipedia, what can you say? I know for a fact that NORINCO (chinese weapons maker) is owned by the Chinese communist party, it's not on the list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
That list apparently doesn't include CP China's holdings and certainly doesn't list the holdings of central committee members families.
You think the NSA and DRA are so incompetent that they let foreign spy agencies run fake cell towers in DC (maybe Mossad, but not for long, and not without a consult)?
Do you also think they (American spooks) can run fake cell towers in London, Monaco, Jerusalem, Moscow and Beijing?
No. As it is, it has them buying weapons from us (and the Ruskies), while the war draws their most militant people into a blender.
Remember Iran/Iraq? That was the prototype. When two of you enemies fight each other, that's good. Especially when one of them is pretending to be your friend (Saudi).
About the only thing we can do to make it 'even better', is make sure they are misequipped, so they learn bad tactics. If we could only get them fighting in infantry blocks, Waterloo style, that would be perfect!

Bubbles are rarely economy wide.
The SI valley job market is certainly hot.
Election of Trump, soon Hillary going to prison.
Also every 8chan troll.

Part of American naturalization is swearing off old loyalties, which typically requires giving up original citizenship.
Canada is the 51st state, so...
College isn't job/software training. The theory I learned decades ago is _still_ not obsolete.
Minimum delivery amount?
I suspect they _won't_ deliver a six pack of beer for $0.60 or a 40 lb bag of dog food for $2.
Also note: Safeway pricing, aka obfuscated delivery charge.

Dual American/German citizen...Speaks lousy German.
On the other hand, technophiles that just naturally continually retrain can write their own ticket.
Some employers are blinded by need of formal training or certs. Hence cert monkeys...
Do it right?

So you do understand why we all laugh at you when you freakout? It's just good fun infuriating pieces of shit.
I knew that back then, it was a common hack.
It was not recommended, until it became the official solution.
Freon 12 is still worth more than $10/lb. It's the most valuable scrap (by weight) in old fridges.
Recovery is routine. Home central ACs are freon recovered before removal.
Why? Ignoring them is just fine. The general assembly has no power by design. Damn good thing.
You can call anybody anything you want. That's how we'll get four more years of Trump. Good job!

It's way beyond that. Anybody with security clearance didn't volunteer anything too bad.
Family members and powerful people outside government etc are also spied on.
They're selling bags of dry dog food on the internet again.
I thought that was a sure sign of impending pop, but it's been over a year.
Correction: NORINCO is owned by the Chinese army. Still not on the list, so basic point remains true.
They were/are overconfident.
See the text message exchange between the (feds/lovers) working on the Clinton (investigation/cover up). They would never have exchanged those texts, if they knew they'd see the light of day.

That was quaint. Back when there were laws against this kind of thing being enforced.
Even with 3 (or 5) eyes running, Hoover spied on all people in power, to say nothing of regular people.
Fake cell towers broadcast their location, they have to. Only those with local spook cooperation can pull it off.
