Forgot to mention: If you're self-employed, your social security "investment" triples but you get the same rate out. So "small business" really pays for everyone's social security and has negative interest rates.
But that's not entirely true. Social security works for a pre-1950's death and birth rate.
Nowadays there are more people retiring than people entering the workforce, which is unsustainable because, being a government-thing, they can't just adjust the rates based on age (eg younger people pay more because they will require longer payouts) which a private 'insurance' company can do.
There is an even bigger myth that the Social Security plan is a good investment.
The rate you pay in is 6.2% of your income for 47 years. If you retire at 65, you benefit ~18 years from said plan (you pay in 2.5 times longer than you benefit). However, SS pays out an average of ~$16k/year (2.5x less than median income). So really you're taxed 15% of your entire life's income and your "savings account" will have only accrued at a rate slightly better than parking it in a bank savings account.
Even during recessions a well spread rmarket investment on retirement funds accrues at 8-10%. If you have a private retirement fund when you're relatively young, you will know that you can match the social security projections (the 6.2%) at a rate of investment of ~2%.
A lot of the "cloud" load is poorly written, open and compatible across broad ranges. The drawback of writing in languages like Python/MATLAB is the immense language overhead compared to well-written, optimized C and assembler. That's why ARM in these kinds of load is suddenly 'good' because most of the time the processor is not spent calculating but sitting idly around reading in instructions or waiting for other nodes.
The problem with having facilities in the US is burgeoning regulation and taxation. You didn't like a factory in your town, tax it out of existence. You want to pay for "model city" Detroit, let's unionize and have GM and their employees pay for everyone's housing.
Social security was intended as a safety net of sorts but in the end it stripped private pension funding completely. The same happened with mental health facilities, once the federal government funded them, private and state funding disappeared.
I'm paying three times as much in social security than I do in pension funding and I'll get three times less out than I do from my pension fund. There is something seriously wrong with the system.
Humans rely more on strategy and intuition (which is basically an interpretation of what you think other people would do or have done), not pure repetition otherwise games wouldn't be fun at all.
If you conquer a puzzle game like described, you think more about how you would make the game and go from there. You visualize/fantasize realms you haven't quite yet seen. That's a level ahead of AI learning which right now just runs in a direction until it hits a wall, then retries with slightly different variables.
I'm from the EU,I came to the US, my credit score from France, Belgian, Netherlands and Scottish banks followed me (Equifax reported the length they were open, balances in them etc) even though I never opened a credit card. Matter of fact, someone later stole my identity and opened a $1200 credit line with Carrefour and also with RBS and debt collectors tracked me down and sent a notice through a US subsidiary.
It's not widely accessible but all those banks (Argenta, ABN-AMRO, EBS) operate a global credit reporting system.
Credit scores exist without having a credit card. Open a bank account and you have a credit history which is practically global (banks operate these metrics across continents) except for some third world countries.
If you have no bank account it will be pretty hard to get legal immigration into the US; it's a rather expensive process and US Embassies don't necessarily accept those amounts in cash.
If you were a legal migrant you would know that the DHS (INS) already looks at your self sufficiency before allowing you entrance. That is a process that can take up to a year to complete, making it easier by taking a statistical predictor of success and self-sufficiency makes the process easier.
As a legal migrant, your life is fully vetted before entry, integration into American culture, diseases (you need to submit full birth and medical records and have an American doctor vet you personally), criminal activity predictors and self sufficiency (income, savings and a social network) predictors are some of the biggest things they look at. Hence why illegal immigration is such a big issue (feelings of unfairness) across legal migrant populations (including Hispanics).
This is Europe, work conditions, wages, benefits and unemployment is guaranteed by the government. They're protesting because robots are taking over their jobs.
If you don't want to work at Amazon, you can go on unemployment pretty much indefinitely in Europe. Europe, due to these anti-capitalist movements by destroying innovation and guaranteeing a minimum income is now facing record unemployment rates (8% across the EU and 10-20% in countries like France, Italy and Spain).
We all know from history that once unemployment rates go above 10% that the system becomes unstable, right now they're protesting the corporations and asking the government to take care of them even though all their governments (especially Italy, Spain and Greece, but France is closeby) is pretty much bankrupt. Soon enough they'll realize the government can't feed everyone if 10% of the population doesn't contribute and then they'll be protesting the government.
That's pretty much the only reason it's famous, because it started leaning pretty much upon construction. Otherwise it would be an interesting, but by no means unique historical artifact in Europe.
Medical treatment was important 230 years ago too, they had doctors and hospitals and knew the benefits of them. They also had machine guns and chemical weapons. They also had police brutality, illegal immigration, racial issues, illegal drugs, independent militia, mass media, fake news...
Yet none of it was important enough for them to grant control for any of it over to the federal government.
I tried a Sun USB mechanical keyboard a few weeks ago and tried an actual IBM mechanical one, I don't like the fact you have to punch the keys so hard and deep to get it to work. I have a soft, chiclet style, mechanical Apple keyboard from a few years ago. I want minimum effort and more importantly settings that allow me to repeat keys very fast.
The subway runs ~100 trains and has nearly 1.8B riders every year and is heavily subsidized as well. They collect more than twice in tax-subsidies than fares and have more than $30B in debt. The real price of the subway should thus be ~$6.
The first problem is labor unions: Average cost per year per unionized worker for the transit system: $140,000 - a lot of people in NYC make a lot less than that.
The second problem is mismanagement: None of the managers want to challenge the unions and billions of dollars disappear every year without being accounted for
The ford CEO is talking primarily about loan data. The rest of that data can already be collected from your smart-whatever, cars have had GPS and remote data connections since early 2000s as well as on board car computers that the dealers with their "free service during the warranty period/10y/forever (Ford/GM/VAG/Hyundai/Honda etc all have it)" can download and send to the manufacturer.
Things are getting more detailed and more on demand, but you're deluded if you think data collections are a new thing.
Employees, not contractors. Contractors are not Human Resources, they're literally counted as an expense like a computer or a software license subscription.
That's why companies love contractors, they don't have to do a bunch of paperwork like pension funding or worry about compliance to various frameworks. When it comes to liability it's a "third party vendor" to blame and it doesn't count towards your H1B and other statistics.
I have no problem finding the right skill sets in people to be able to do learning on the job. I'm also looking for people with at least some experience, I've found that hiring directly out of school comes with its own problems, most often that kids get a degree for the money until reality sets in, I've seen many people drop out of the field entirely 1-2 years into a real job, schools do a poor job preparing kids for jobs, I'd rather get a high school dropout with a few failed startups. I've also interviewed people that were expecting their CS degree would get them a managerial job (preferably at Google or a Unicorn startup) right out the gate.
I rather find people that like doing their job, if you joined a robotics club or a hackers group, those kids generally have the right aptitude but across hundreds of students in a University providing EE and CS, that club is maybe 50 members large.
You can beat them - it's called capitalism, don't like it don't use it or buy it. Plenty of people seem to not care about Facebook. I do, I don't use them, never had an account, use adblockers to not load their crap on other sites. But a lot of people griping are just virtue signaling with "Facebook is so bad" and then having a "follow me" and "thumbs up" button after the very article they decry those practices.
I haven't seen many false positives. Not sure what programs you're running but everything being blocked is actually doing something weird and supposed to be blocked. It also sounds like your support structure sucks which is probably why you are having the issues after deployment.
BlackBerry has been in use by governments and big enterprise for decades. They moved to the "security" and traffic inspection part of their platform. If you are a big corporation with government ties/oversight, BlackBerry systems on the backend of your email is practically a requirement since they're one of the few corporations that shares encryption keys with government agencies.
I've found it hard to hire high quality CS people. Even at premium rates I only got a handful of applicants and most of them didn't have any experience (some had a degree but then went on and did basically data entry).
The problem the US has is that anyone can pass an engineering education, the standards have been lowered due to all sorts of social improvement/engineering and equality of outcome programs. If you HAVE to graduate x% across all sorts of arbitrary dimensions, the standards are lower for everyone.
I have people graduating with a CS/EE degree that know a little C don't know Python, can't even program an Arduino.
The problem with bounds checking on variable data is that it's slow. For every operation you have to first do a bounds checking operation (that's a JMP and a CMP at the very least). You can see these things in performance comparisons (both in memory and CPU cycle overhead) of Python and Rust vs C/C++.
In rare cases, your compiler may even strip the bounds checking anyway depending on the platform this could be safe but injecting registers or variables from other programs (eg through a buffer overflow in the other program) then make it theoretically unsafe.

that this is allowed, if not expected. Moreover, the Trump family could easily destroy all the evidence during the investigation.
So you want them to be quiet and do it?
If you don't think this has been going on for decades, then you're an idiot.
