Do you want coworkers who are there only because they perfected tripping others up when the bear comes? The problem is not just that eventually you'll be at the bottom of the ranking when the bottom gets culled regularly, regardless of how good you are. The problem is that you get a toxic work atmosphere where it becomes important to outmaneuver the others into a position where they'll be gutted next. Of course you can choose not to play that game, but the end game will be among those who do. Even supposing you are always at the top of the ranking even as new people get hired. You'll still end up with colleagues that are better at looking better than they are than the ones who get fired. The decent and good ones will watch this once or twice, then leave on their own accord.
Having been a contractor on a new project with Amazon.com, I testify the above quote is 100% accurate, and yes, crying at desks *does* happen and is laughingly referred to internally as 'an activity', and brought up during interviews that I overheard.
That said I purchase almost exclusively from Amazon when I shop online. Go figure.
So we are replacing 'known oil reserves' with 'Known lithium reserves' now.
What happens after we reach 'peak battery production'? They guy asking about batteries for 2 billion cars per year was emotionally modded to oblivion but it's a very valid question.
Charging a battery may be renewable, but those batteries need to be replaced after a certain life-cycle as well.
Worldwide Hoomans produce more than 60 million cars. There's presently about 1.05 billion cards on the roads today and increasing. 2 Billion for new cars, and spare parts / replacements isn't too off the mark.
When we run out of Lithium, what will we turn to next?
Here's a quote for those whose reading comprehension is compromised.
Normally if I woke up feeling like this, I would go to the emergency room. But no one at the hospital will have seen symptoms of having been in space for a year...
The symptoms he's describing could be age or space related, but they could also be a real symptom of something different, new, or something exacerbated by his time in space. Since he's an astronaut, and not a medical doctor, he should fucking go see a doctor.
If it's simply atrophy then he needs to hit a gym.
Since I am no medical doctor, I think he needs to fucking go see a fucking doctor fucking right fucking now.
I have so many problems with the astronauts premise I don't know where to begin.
Of the 15 people that have spent more than a year in space does not constitute a statistically significant sample size to determine whether or not space flight is feasible. If anything it's a sign that we need to send *more* people up to quicken the pace of discovery.
Staying in shape is a struggle even on Earth. There should be some effort expended in keeping fit above that what's already been done if no-gravity is an issue.
I would argue that he *should* go to the E.R., or see a doctor for the pain at least. There are doctors that have seen at least one of the 533 people that have been to space. I bet you NASA has the number to a few of those doctors too.
LOL Sounds like you are drinking the koolaid big time. Let me guess, you are a dev? I hate to break it to you, automation frameworks don't actually
That's as far as I got. I skimmed the rest.
I have been in the IT Industry for more than 22 years and was a dev and system builder on the side prior. Been doing DevOps in the enterprise for a few years now also. I have worked in some pretty big shops. In some cases I came in and supported stuff others built. In others I am the one that built it
You're completely out of your SME friend. God Speed.
sounds like, Like in every other large enterprise, want everything fully patched on a schedule that simply isn't feasible at that scale operationally., Generally, something like, in a large enterprise environment you probably won't even find out all the applications that are running in 1-5yrs, probably ancient,
Please refrain from speaking about things you clearly know nothing about.
This may be true for small shops where the IT force is one person with zero automation. But anything enterprise these days is automated to a large degree. Even small government shops are capable of turning around 2 day patches of critical vulnerabilities even if the whole system hasn't been updated until more formal testing can occur.
As noted elsewhere in this topic, They have nearly 2k employees world-wide. They can serve queries at pace with no delay. The excuse that one person didn't patch is BS.
Considering the volume of inquiries they competently handle on a daily basis I am disinclined to agree. Performing those tasks at scale requires a competent IT force or it wouldn't happen. The fact that they can get the job done so well points out just how blatant the lie was.
If.25Bn has been invested then there's sure as hell no process that could have allowed a single critical patch go unchecked as described. There's teams, or should be teams of people watching these things.
No, the weapons were not a match. In fact, the U.S. Came up with advances in armament as well as tactics. The latter of which were learned from the local Indians. that gave us the advantage. And the vehement adherence is based in the knowledge as demonstrated numerous times throughout history. You cannot easily get back what you have given up. And trust me, you do WANT U.S. Citizens to armed to the teeth.
Imagine a world where the most powerful military on the planet can run amok without giving it's citizens the means to control it. With our current president, I am certain everyone is grateful we have guns even if nobody wants to admit it.
That man having the same fingers he tweets with close to launch buttons is not a pretty thought.
You may not like it, but the 2nd Amendment is doing it's bit to prevent WWIII, as well as prevent what has been a very repeatable history in other governments that have fallen to dictatorship, TIME AND AGAIN. Proven, patterns and demonstrable fact is not a conspiracy theory.
The 2nd Amendment can be considered just as much a deterrent as a stockpile of nuclear arms. Neither is appealing to the general populace, both are just as necessary for preserving freedom.

-substance x- is one of earths more abundant minerals, there is no running out.
Said every industrialist ever. Crude Oil used to come up in springs fouling everything around it. Now look at us.

Thank You for that.
I swear at this pace they are going to start teaching the flat Earth theory in U.S. Schools.
On the other, the current form of racing to do this or that before anyone else is going to end up costing someone their life.
You may not have noticed, and I don't condone it, but progress is fueled by the blood of the innocent.
This has to be a troll.

Also this,
Stop sending senior citizens into space.
Wtf right?

After reading this it occurs to me that it's much more likely someone sold the info rather than had it hacked.
By this time it's very obvious it's nothing to do with a security team.
This is just smoke from the CEO trying to protect his ass.
I caught that part but was much more incensed by the lame attempt to parry liability.
If .25Bn has been invested then there's sure as hell no process that could have allowed a single critical patch go unchecked as described. There's teams, or should be teams of people watching these things.
I smell a really shitty cop-out excuse.
Yet they marched barefoot through the snow to earn the freedom you inherited.

Btw, to the world, You're welcome.
Same argument as in 1765, look how that turned out.
Never underestimate determined and / or desperate humans.
black people being armed hasn't made a blind bit of difference.
It might help if they stopped shooting each other but you can't say that 'cause statistics are "racist".
No, And fortunately the good politicians haven't been politicizing on it.
Regardless of the criminal in Nevada, killing people is already illegal and that didn't stop him. I am going to call your argument a straw man
More to the point of the article; What empowers the people of the UK to get their rights returned if they have to do it by force?
Your cherry picking skills are masterful and very non-representative of the actual state of this nation.
How are you Wiggy Buggers over there going to get your rights back without guns?
*Ahem*
