I've yet to encounter a trouble-shooting AI bot. Can anyone recommend a registration-free instance so I can kick the tires? Preferably, a reasonably good one, if that's even possible.
They've been slapping a big patriotic logo on the few percent of their items actually made in the US, and the rest have "Made in China" in teeny weeny little letters. You have to buy their Chinese-made magnifying glass to see it.
Kids today are not looking for manufacturing jobs.
Realistically, what do they want then? Not everybody is cut out for STEM jobs and not everybody has enough people/schmoozing skills for sales, and you have to know the ropes of some specialty before you become manager.
Factory jobs can get really boring, but some people are okay with the redundancy.
It's amazing how little value companies assign to domain (industry) knowledge in IT workers. I often look back at the apps/systems/designs I've done when a newbie at a given org, and laugh at how naive I was about the domain, and thus how clunky the results were.
PHB's are dazzled by the newfangled UI/UX the newbies often bring in, functionality and maintainability be damned; for those fall on somebody else. The shiny red ball wins the monkeys' attention.
Agree. Why should tech CEO's or celebrities be a better source of general political ideas than Joe Sixpack? Opinions are like assholes: everyone has one. If they comment on technology as it intersects politics, then they can be considered subject matter experts; granted a biased one, but at least it would directly involve their field.
If military generals commented on this topic, it would be newsworthy because they have experience with military crew interaction. But if the military generals commented on say the iPhone's UI, their opinion is no more valid than Joe Sixpack's. (PS, yes, the Orange Man is a jerk.)
I swear their telemarketers called our house at least 50 times the past year. They use a robo-dialer, and if somebody answers, immediately switch to a pooled human (no water jokes, please). I did Trump impressions to fuck with them.
Indeed, with ramp-up time, ramp-down time (landing), boarding time, and between-hop time; it seems flight speed it not really the bottleneck: it's a case of hurry-up and wait. Maybe it would matter for the rich who buy their way around most of those other things.
I've been hearing "Flash is dead" for a long time, but it still lives. For one, there's a lot of on-line games that are not practical or reliable in JavaScript/Html5 yet. Kids love those games and won't accept PC's without them.
The difference is in "1984" people were forced to have a Snoop-A-Tron in their residence. The plutocratic version of "1984" is the oligopolies offer you a "deal you can't refuse". Getting discounts will override fear of corporate snooping for most poor.
In 1984, if you badmouthed the system, you share a cell with fellow soap-droppers. In the plutocracy if you submit a bad Yelp review, you could be locked out of discounts, lose your credit rating, and can't get a ride when the slimy Uber types control the whole thing. Thus, you either starve or steal to survive, and end up in jail with the fellow soap-droppers anyhow.
Different approach, same result: large % of population locked up or on parole watch.
You are focusing too much on party. Corporations use big money and big lobbying to heavily influence ALL politicians. It's harder to win without campaign money. We'd have to change our campaign system to fix that.
At least Democrat politicians seem to feel guilty kissing up to corporations, while Republicans wear it as a badge of honor: "unleash the job creators! Let wealth trickle down!"
I disagree with some of your "they're the same" points.
Hillary, Bernie, and Martin O'Malley were for expansion of higher education subsidies/loans. Almost no main Republican candidates were.
And the Obama Administration did pass infrastructure spending as part of the stimulus. Although, it was light in "big iron" projects, largely because those were seen as ramping up too slow to help the slump. If we didn't have deficit issues, there may have been more big-iron projects.
(The wars in Iran & Afghanistan sucked about $4T already. Too bad that couldn't be USA infrastructure. Sigh.)
And I've seen more complaints about telecom oligopolies from Democrat representatives than Republicans.
I agree these are informal metrics; but to settle it, both sides would need more formality.

Indeed, Trump's statements are as reliable as mud, both in terms of what he actually wants, and what Congress will approve.
They should make wiring taste like skunks, then critters wouldn't munch it.
Do you really want somebody living off of really low wages poking around your house? Poverty creates desperation.
I meant an online product support chat-bot, not a physical bot like R2D2.

Then call Brain Support and ask them why. Oh wait, they are swamped, nevermind.

Captain Obvious changed jobs; he's now Captain Reminder.
The new editors won't remember old articles and post dupes, causing you to complain about the new editors, admit it.

Let's split the USA. The reds can't stand the blues and vice versa. Why rage the culture wars in perpetuity? Lincoln made a mistake.
They will when they run out of people who want to die in useless wars.

It's because we don't play enough football.
Do you want a powerful brain or powerful balls?

Yes, but then babies cry twice as hard.

Correction: should be Iraq war, not Iran war (although it might become one under the New Guy.)

Close: break up the party system(s), or at least weaken them.
