"Old IT Workers". It is one more stereotype. There are weak "Young IT Workers" too.
For example, one may think that workers in advance age miss work due to illness more often than young workers. It is a stereotype too. The research shows the opposite.
It is due to such managers we have got cute baby-face puppets at about any office and counter who do not have a clue, who do not have any real life experience. And as a result the production goes away from Europe and the US.
I would start with the retraining course "Prejudice or discrimination on the grounds of a person's age" for this IT manager.
if not more dangerous. There are more than 1.25 million road traffic deaths globally each year: http://www.who.int/gho/road_sa... . Millions more are badly wounded.
SF chose a cheap conservative PR, instead of making a serious effort of ending this WW3 on roads.
I would like to correct the wording of my previous post above. It should be definitely - a part of people. Probably, a small part.
Because, the only general thing which could be said about American people is that they are all different. Undoubtedly there honest individuals among them.
Some US athletes were claiming that they were robbed at gun point in Rio during the Olympic Games. It was a big story in the media.
Until it was proven irrevocably by the organizing side that they were just lying brazenly.
I guess that at least some part of the American people believe that they are kind of exclusive, much cleverer than others. And that they can get away with about any lie. My point is that one has to look for irrevocable evidences as soon as one hears such unusual claims.

“Russia has stabbed us in the back, and each day that Mr. Snowden is allowed to roam free is another twist of the knife,” said New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer in a statement.
What I am trying to say is that it is all a big misunderstanding. Mr. Snowden is sort of too big, they cannot touch him, cannot extradite him due to the internal public opinion. And the senator erroneously thinks that it is done just for spite. Probably because he does not speak the language, is not aware the situation.
And this tit for tat, as it seems to them, will continue perhaps still for decades.
All this hoopla, - Russia this, Russia that, Russia doping, Russian hackers, Russia & US election, etc. - started after Snowden's revelations. It had not been like this before.
Some officials in the USA said that Snowden affair was the largest and the most expensive intelligence catastrophe in the US history. A lot of money was lost, many carreers were broken. Initially Russia had not been involved in this at all, and at first it could not figure out what to do with him. He had been an US government agent after all.
But later, as often happens with underdogs, Snowden became kind of popular in Russia.
My point is that the US officials are making a mistake, because they think erroneously that Russia is ruled by a totalitarian government which can do whatever it wants, including extraditing Snowden. But in fact the political system in Russia is a complicated equilibrium, the same as in many othere lands.
My feeling is that extraditing Snowden may cause an instability, or even a revolution. It will never happen. So this story should be over and done with. It is time to get serious again and stop the naïveté.
Edward Snowden's asylum would continue to cost Russian companies dearly.
What the US bureaucrats do not understand is that a president of Russia is not like a sultan. Russian people are hard to rule to a degree that the leadership cannot do whatever it wants. They have to listen to the public opinion.
In my opinion, it was impossible to extradite Edward Snowden. They were just unable to to it due to the public opinion. I think the US has to forget Snowden as if he did not exist. You cannot win them all.
in all those recent stories? That anyone could just type root, leave password blank, and get an unlimited access to all the data he/she wanted without any hacking?
Why not? In any case it was proven still in the 19th century that breaking glass windows in a town systematically does not make a glasscutter rich, since it makes the whole town poorer, interferes with the whole economical model, distracts people from their tasks, etc.
Standard does not mean that they are the same or ugly, just a finite set of dimensions and shapes, so that the machine can recognize what it is dealing with.
In millions of cafes, restaurants, canteens, eateries, an army of people have to pick up a plate with hands, clean it from remaining food, and put it into a dishwasher. It is hard debilitating manual labor, which less and less people agree to do for any money.
An small indelible QR code on both sides would make it much easier to recognize an item.
I realize that it is very hard to implement, because the majority of people still think that we should kind of live in caves, i mean the so called status quo bias: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... . It is a powerful phenomenon, no argument about it.
Good idea. Why not also an indelible QR code on both sides, so that the machine knows exactly what it is dealing with both from the RFID tag and QR code for reliability.
the problem is to introduce the standard plates, cups, forks, spoon, ladles, etc. So that a robot can recognize them.
There should be also a place on each item where robot can take it safely.
But it is not a technical problem, but a social one. Try to explain to people basically from the stone age, especially at leadership positions, what is standardization, unification, etc....
More than 1.2 million people are killed every year in traffic accidents http://www.who.int/gho/road_sa... , about 3 times more badly wounded. These are the figures of a WW3.
The situation will only worsen since cars become silent, overpowered, oversized, overweight, and capable to pick up a high speed almost instantly.
It is not only traffic accidents, terrorists got it too. Overpowered cars and automatic guns are being used to attack innocent people in reality. However instead of regulating really harmful items, we have got 700 pages of the civil UAV regulations.
The alphabet of English is definitively Latin. The Ancient Greek alphabet, however, strongly influenced other languages, - the Cyrillic alphabets, for example.

I personally know a man close to 70 who runs the marathon, 26.2 miles or 42.2 km, for less than 3 hours. Two hours faster than me.
The same for science and technologies. A talent and discipline could be young and could be of advanced age.

Architecture is still stuck in 30s. It is so easy to build an apartment or the whole house with an inbuilt system for internet deliveries.
2500 - 3000 kg SUV emits more CO2 that a 1300 kg Volkswagen due to the Newton's second law of motion: F = m*a, i.e. Force (fuel) = mass * acceleration

Why would Cuba want to irradiate the American diplomats? It wants the good trading relations with the US as far as I know.
It is rather seldom that a crime is being committed without a motive.

Perhaps, the DJI pilots in the USA should register themselves as Foreign Agents? And this is it. The problem solved.

In a restaurant before putting a dish into a dishwasher one has to clean it up manually. It is a back breaking work.
A true dishwasher robot could free an army of several million people from physically and morally hard manual labor.
the problem is to introduce the standard plates, cups, forks, spoon, ladles, etc. So that a robot can recognize them.

I mean collecting billions of people's private posts and leave them open online.

or an Airport English, is the future.
But why not return to the roots - the Latin language, Lingua Latina.
I did not understand - what is the domain extension?
It is also images, videos, wikidata, etc.
Now the economical LED lamps make electricity savings by the DST ridiculously small if any for the whole hoopla.
