That worked well for the auto workers, the steel industry etc. etc.
If anything the lack of unions is the only reason not more jobs have gone to India. If all you are allowed to employ is 'slightly below average', you can outsource that anywhere. IT is to me more like a lawyer *ducks*, doctor, engineer or an architect. You not only need someone knowledgeable about the company or client they work for/with, you need someone that can see the big picture, can work independent and knows exactly what to do in every situation.
The mythical man month works to an extent in manufacturing (the more people and resources you throw at something, the more of something gets produced) but never works in IT because our jobs just don't scale like that.
What do you mean what Putin wants? You actually believe these conspiracy nutters? If everyone voted against someone because of a conspiracy theory how did Obama get in office?
Well, let me know how one will afford that "out of pocket max" of ~$14k/year + $15k/year for the 'average' insurance cost = $29k in health care costs alone and then you still have to pay several thousands in Medicare (the thing that one time was supposed to be used to pay for 'universal health care'), Social Security and other taxes.
My premiums have risen to ~$1.5k/month for a family (we were promised ~$400 after ACA) and both my deductible (before 1.5k, now 5k) and out of pocket max (before 3k, now 10k) makes health care practically unaffordable, that is because my private insurance now carries the cost of ObamaCare (or so they say) and the maximum limits Obama promised to impose during the proposal of ObamaCare are either non-existent (as in the premium caps) or about 10-100x as high as promised.
The average ACA insurance cost is now ~22% of your wages, where before ACA they were only ~10-15% and will increase to ~27% in the next 5 years.
Insurance used to be affordable before ACA came along, it's just people had the choice and chose not to, Darwinism at it's best I would say. In many cases Medicare and individual states would take care of the 'gaps'.
Although it is oft repeated (e.g. During the debates by Clinton) that the ACA "fixed" being uninsurable or having a cap on out of pocket costs it is incorrect. There is a cap on your deductible (~10k/year) but you're still on the hook for 10-40% of the cost once your deductible is met. Sure the ACA assures that everyone has insurance but "the poor" and now even the middle class still can't go to the doctor because 10k out of pocket per year is pretty much unaffordable.
Off course the unpoor (people intentionally making less than 20k/year) still get Medicare as they did before that pays 100% of the bill but a lot of Medicare and free medical aid beneficiaries (20-40k income) have now been shifted (or should I say shafted) by private insurance.
If you understood the technical aspects of what went on, you would notice that it is impossible to (at this point) blame the Russians.
Her e-mails were hacked decades ago. This Podesta guy was "hacked" simply by guessing a password. Any hacker worth their salt would've used a proxy or Tor or something similar. Whether or not a node or even the IP in the logs was in Russia is not evidence.
It's not like the hackers left a note "KGB took this, thanks for Mister Trump"
Yes? EVERYONE tries to influence EVERYONE's elections, the US meddles in pretty much every "election" overseas. A lot of the 'elections' in South America and even the Middle East have historically been heavily influenced by the CIA if not outright manufactured by them. If these candidates were on the up-and-up they wouldn't be able to be so easily influenced.
Physical tethers for high-end stores also have alarms so when you snip them the alarm goes off right away. Either way, the iPhones are indeed bricks when stolen and quite honestly, the majority of people aren't thieves. And even if one gets stolen (perhaps for parts), I doubt Apple cares very much, they write the potential lifetime value of the phone (device + apps + music + recycling/resale perhaps ~$3-4000) off as a loss on their taxes.
If it IS fully automated based on all the information out there, then how will the system know what's real and fake? At some point someone will have to do the curating and that's where the bias will show.
The easiest way to fact check stories is as follows: - Was it said by a politician: It's false - In all other cases: Inaccurate at best
Well, you have Russian Trump on one end and Obama/Clinton picking a fight so they can blame the Russians. They're already talking about executing retaliatory cyber attacks (at least they're giving Russia advance warning). This might not evolve into a WW3 but with ISIS almost dead, the American leadership needs a new enemy.
How about, everybody gets the same amount of time. If every yahoo fires up BitTorrent, they consume 'their' bandwidth with BT but not "my" bandwidth. If there is limited bandwidth, be honest about it and say "we can only provide you 1Mbps continuously unless someone else isn't using theirs, then we can provide you up to 100"
then when you have more power, you'll only use it to benefit yourself, right Are you that big of an idiot to expect any different from any leader? The only reason someone wants to be a leader is because they want something. Nobody does anything unless they benefit. Pretty much any creature is selfish that way, one will always maximize the immediate benefit for their perceived selves, whether that is for survival or reproduction.
That largely depends on your contract if you agreed on severance regardless of your last month's work, they have to pay the severance they agreed to. If it's not in a contract or an employee manual they aren't required to pay your severance in any case whether you train them or not. I don't know if I would take the 3 months severance package if it gives me a 1 month jump start on finding another job. Within a month your local job pool will be +100 unemployed (and several hundreds more if a lot of businesses depend on you)
LOL. I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not. - Data scientist: other word for programmer - Cloud specialist: other word for systems administrator - Critical infrastructure specialist: other word for network administrator
The problem is that these sorts of companies don't really lift anyone out of poverty over there. They don't have the same labor standards, they exploit their workers while paying the minimum they can get away with. Many "IT workers" moved from the farm to live in city slums while destroying the environment doing so.
Sure people over there need to eat there too but they're barely eating and corporate colonization is not a good solution. This is akin to saying "hey, don't worry about us outsourcing the cotton picking, those Africans need to eat too, they were dying in Africa to snake bites and lions, as slaves they get steady meals and a house to live in"
Why would you then train him at all? You got your 4 weeks notice, go to work, throw them a manual and let them figure it out. If they complain, say "he doesn't understand me very well".
At least his comments can be condensed into a tweet and is thus a great source for comedians. Trying to get your head around and subsequently condense 35k documents into a soundbite just doesn't work very well. That's the primary reason Clinton is getting away with it: people are just too stupid to pay attention to a complete narrative. Independently these emails have no weight, everybody relates to office gossip sent by emails. It's what they imply or admit is happening (getting the town hall questions in advance, receiving money for favors from "state enemies" etc) even though there is no direct evidence (anymore) but trying to translate, following the narrative, filtering relevance and the reading between the lines Hell, even just their stance regardless of the content of the emails is telling. There is no way someone can fake 2000 messages per day, let alone 30000 emails with all the correct dates and names and context, even the best story writers couldn't do this in the months she's been a candidate. Saying a reputable media organization faked the entire thing is just ludicrous and just crossing your fingers and hoping the media follows your instructions.
So Wikileaks releases information about government officials lying and scheming to the American public. That's fine because it was a republican president. Now Wikileaks releases information about government officials lying and scheming to the American public. That's not fine because it Is about a democratic president(ial) hopeful.
As long as you use object oriented programming, that's exactly how it will have to work. You can't load an object into memory and declare them static. Take any library (eg. jQuery), call a function and it will change the entire library object's internal structure meaning you need to either have several copies in memory or do a memcpy every time you call an object.
A lot of the devices Chrome runs on only have 1 or 2GB of RAM or sometimes even less. Not desktops but mobile devices is Chrome's biggest target market.
We need a new enemy. Islamic terrorists turned out not to be all that scary (even with all the false flag operations), China hasn't been taking the bait the last 8 years (and the US tried so hard to start a trade war) and North Korea has failed in pretty much everything because Dear Leader is a verifiable idiot. So now Russia is back to be the new American boogeyman, not sure whether Putin will fall for it, he's after all the 'strong man' that has an inane need to show off (much like Trump) but he might be smart enough not to care about the Obama/Clinton grandstanding in the upcoming years.
It's one thing collecting and holding onto a 15yo off-air audio tape from a third grade idiot on a second rate radio show vs. collecting and holding onto what our government and representatives did and said.
The first thing is the job of the government and the second is the job of activists and collectors. Wait, I'm confused, no, that's right, the NSA does the first and we have to hack our own government to get any form of accountability.
He's only a rapist if you redefine rape, which in itself would be raping the English language. Sure he's a sexist scumbag but he's no worse than any of his predecessors or his opponent, both in context of his personality and history.
You can also turn the phrase around depending on who's side you're on: Quick! Dump some more 15yo audio tapes! We need to distract people before they realize they're considering voting for a criminal!

This may be a shortcut button but anyone can stream any app to any AirPlay TV on iOS. Not sure about Google Cast, that's always been a bit broken.
