Bitcoin holders have nowhere near the influence of the UAW.
They bailed out the pension fund. In the process screwing others who held bonds by putting the pension fund at the front of the line. It's still working its way through the courts.
This solution drives away the motivated. Self fulfilling, shitty workforce guaranteed.
Plus coders, how long before they are feeding the software bullshit metrics? Bet you can grab enough frames for a day in a few minutes of acting like you're working.
Unit tests should, more or less, be automated and shouldn't require throwing the code over the wall to QA.
It's not that coders don't test, it's that they don't do final testing.
Nobody sends every successful compile to QA. First you run you dev case, make sure that works. Then unit tests, make sure you haven't recreated an issue that was already known. Then you get the project to a milestone worthy of release.
Only then does QA get involved. Perhaps a little earlier if you're trying to compress the schedule, but early tests have to be repeated.
When QA finds an interesting bug, dev might have to be involved in adding it to the unit tests.
You're too late. MSM credibility was one of the costs of the last election cycle. CNN/NYTimes etc spent it all trying to get the bitch elected. Thinking they would get 'first question' for long enough everybody would forget.
They did that because it killed after market audio/navi, using the rational you list as an excuse.
Factory stereos etc have always been overpriced by factors of at least 5. Last I looked a single year of updates for factory navis are about $1 less than an entire new aftermarket one.
Their stupidity regarding touchscreens is another question entirely. As is the practice of putting a 'back of car' control computer in the rear, to save the cost of running individual wires to (tail lights/defrosters/wipers) etc and gain another expensive part with a built in warranty countdown.
Ford discovered that good pay got him the best workers. Like I said.
It's not like he just raised everybody's pay. He hired the best available workers and paid enough to keep them.
He was kind of an asshole about it, knowing he could throw in conditions of employment like 'right to inspect home without notice', 'no drinking off the job' etc.
Germany has some crazy laws regarding autobahn inspections. _Everything_ that was on the car when new has to work. Broken radio...failed. AC delete...failed. Missing back seat...failed. Seat belts replaced by 5 point harness...failed.
Brits funded themselves with a tea tax (80% of price IIRC). It was illegal for anybody except the English government's agents to import tea into the 'colonies'.
Drinking smuggled tea was an act of rebellion, dumping the king's tea in the harbor hit George right in the pocket.
And they got away with it. Neither pointless or impulsive.

Shockley was a smart guy, he could learn about Eugenics.
Chomsky wasn't stupid, until he took up politics.
Nukes kept Stalin out of western Europe. It is that simple.
Money today is worth more than money in a year. Sorry you don't like that, but it remains a fact.
Oppenheimer, Gates and company should have gotten the Nobel peace prize.
Longest period of relative peace in human history.
That said: Hawking has crossed the Shockley/Chomsky line. He is now talking out of his ass about things he knows nothing about.
Hit one key per drum beat or get the whip!

The flip side of bathroom timers is my friend Julian. He always craps at work, holds it on the drive in, everyday.
Get a few beers into him, and he will start lecturing anybody around him: 'Always crap at work, last year I got paid $15k for shitting.'
You know where to put their webcam.
Simpsons did it. The Japan episode.
Didn't sign them. Wrote 'I don't agree'. HR is clueless, use it to your advantage.
I remember my first job where I had engineers as end users.
It's better in many ways, but damn they want everything.
You are a bad coder!
The big try catch is so you log the unexpected errors. Not to trap the ones you know how to handle and recover from.

I knew a 'Director of IT' with 3 reports.
He traded a raise for the title. Thinking he could BS his way into a big cheese job elsewhere based on same.
It might have worked too, but never for him. Just obviously a poseur.

People learn to be competent. Best to start early. You might still have time.

HR Pufnstuf was the best kids show.
Q: When unloading dead babies with a pitchfork how do you know when you run into a live one that slipped through.
A: (Gesturing pitchforking motions) Dead, dead, dead, (hands shake while forking) live, dead, dead, dead...
Lady parts or flower parts?
AI will never get 100% on that problem.

Euro equivalent flew in 2011. It's just a slow hysteria day.
If only raw data was distributed, we might be able to figure out which dark smelly place 'the hockey stick' was pulled from.
