You can prejudge based on facts (you never have complete facts).
I am prejudiced against crack heads and tweakers for example. I don't have to know they are thieves, I assume it. That's prejudice, but it's completely reasonable.
Next time they tell you you can't have time off, remember their decision not to hire you a PFY.
Take the time anyhow, fuck them.
I'll believe their is a genuine talent shortage when I'm given a team 'assistant' just to run for team members (explicitly including 'personal errands'), when middle managers stop wasting everybody's time with useless endless meetings and when actually making a schedule is more important than protecting higher management egos. I don't expect to ever believe their is a talent shortage.
There is a difference between being necessary and being irreplaceable.
A good chunk of what is called IT is now as commodity as fuel. That's the harsh reality. But it's nowhere near all of IT, and the PHBs don't have a clue as to the difference.
What REALLY doesn't work is outsourcing your janitorial into the building lease.
That leads to janitorial staff that are so poorly (paid/vetted) that they have to steal to (survive/feed their habit).
Letting the landlord pay for janitorial sets all the incentives up wrong.
I kind of expect that will be the endgame with 'cloud'. Cloud customers have outsourced their digital janitors to their digital landlords. Of course right now, cloud providers come in all shapes, from 'fly by night' to 'buttoned down'. What do you think price competition will do over 20+ years?
I know that has already happened. All that's required is DOT approval to log hours in automated mode (differently/as rest), which will take a decade+, easy.
Might end up with 'truck trains', only the first trucks driver is 'driving', the remainder 'resting'.
Highway driving is the simple problem, especially when you can just fallback to human driver when the conditions go to shit or the road is anything other than divided highway with sane traffic (e.g. not in Boston). Than you are just looking at the economics of losing anything past 8/12 hours manual drive/day when conditions are bad vs. not paying the second driver all year.
Working your math backwards, I get 40.5 working weeks/year? A factory doesn't take vacation in England...not like France, Brits spread the vacation around the workforce and keep the factories running (such as they do). Holidays take a bite, but not 12 weeks.
Being manufactures they would lose another bite to regular retooling. But I'm sure this dweeb assumes they will have a perfect design, day 1, and retooling is just reprogramming the CNCs and 3d printers.
Read his links folks. They don't support his post.
There are models that attempt to follow water up the atmosphere, but those aren't the world wide global warming models that produce actual temperature increase forecasts. The big models just take an feedback coefficient as an input.
Highway only will happen. But they will have a driver in the cab for everything off divided highways. It will be the end of 'driving teams', one driver will keep it rolling 24x7.
They claim that two shifts of 10 people each working a year will make 10,000 trucks. That's about 4 person hours/truck.
They are assuming majic automation in the factory. For a truck with no prototype, they likely also have a factory with no design, thought up by a person with no manufacturing experience, claiming production numbers that still smell of the dark place they came from.
All the models include a CO2/Water vapor positive feedback coefficient.
By adjusting that single number you can get the model to tell you anything you want it to tell you.
CO2 is a minor greenhouse gas (in terms of what's in the atmosphere) Water vapor is by far the largest greenhouse gas. If the increase in temperature caused by CO2 results in a large increase in atmospheric water vapor CO2 induced global warming will be bad, if the increase in temperature caused by CO2 result is a large increase in cloud cover (lowering the earth's albedo) global warming is a non-issue.
Climate 'scientists' early in this process, having more enthusiasm than knowledge, selected a very high feedback coefficient. The first exhale would have led to runaway global warming and earth being venus. They defended it until the laughter got them to reconsider. We are now supposed to take their words for the newer model versions.

1 month 'term limit' on 'owning' an article and only being allowed to own any article once would be a good start
Vote gridlock!
Same as all the VPs back to Quayle.

Games with PC versions still don't support KB&M on consoles.
The controller users just won't have it.

The only thing I know about MySQL is to 'run away'. _Never_ take jobs/contracts at companies that incompetent.
If MySQL wasn't leaking root privileges it would be an OS bug. For MySQL to leak it, it has to have it.

MySQL and its metastases is just non-standard enough. Once you use it, you're stuck with it or you get to start over.
MySQL runs a thread or process as root? Why?

Two shifts.

Convertibles are for those that like convertibles. This is a terrible substitute.
Introduced in 1955 by Ford. Market failure (rare as fuck, worth good $ now). As you say, sucks in the sun.
No substitute for a convertible.

For English 'workers'. Four hours if 'assembly' amounts to putting on the wheels (tires already mounted) and driving it to the done lot.
Not sure that's what they are claiming.
They claim that two shifts of 10 people each working a year will make 10,000 trucks. That's about 4 person hours/truck.

Chinese use coal for local heat. Same thing that caused the killing 'london fogs' of the 1800s.
A nation can simultaneously be building coal electrical generation while stopping coal burning for heat.

2 shifts, 10 people (Brits at that) each, 10,000 trucks/year.
Self driving software, done in house, _ready_ to be uploaded as soon as it's legal.
No prototype, only CGI of poorly thought out 'trucks'. which will cost the same as gasoline/diesel cars, they promise.
Self righteous ass in charge: "We find trucks today totally unacceptable. Loud, polluting and unfriendly,"
So much bullshit. A British /.er should go by their mail drop/fake office and kick the lead grifter square in the nuts.
