CNBC states it, so it must be true? Come on... I don't believe this article on little bit. The jobs I see posted in my area for "entry level" are asking for all kinds of experience. I just have a general distrust of corporate media.
3-5 years tops in the tech industry. Unless you do gov work your not getting a pension or even thinking of lasting there till retirement. They wouldn't keep you, but odds are good they wouldn't exist anyway...
There is a certain amount of truth to this because the moment the economy takes even a slight dip or the company might be slightly less profitable, your job may well vanish. For the most part employment is contingent upon profitability.
The gig economy is ultimately not sustainable. For one thing, the gig economy cheapens real world skills. For example, the recent law school graduate that might be in an area saturated with lawyers might advertise basic services for dirt cheap just to get money coming in the door. But this amount of money comes nowhere near to both providing food and shelter and paying off the enormous student debt. For another, the worker participating in the gig economy must continue to chase micro jobs that pay peanuts in the hope of getting enough volume to make it remotely worthwhile. And, there are more service providers than there are people to consume them virtually ensuring that gig economy participants are competing for scraps. I kind of liken it to being the low ranking wolf in a pack - it's competition for scraps that still won't fill the belly.
They typically have to go through a formal process with allies like the UK. And the UK is less and less inclined to extradite when the possible sentence in the US is disproportionate to the crime.
And lately the sentences are getting stiffer and stiffer for even petty crimes and it has nothing to do with public safety, health, or morals. It's all about the money! Tougher sentences mean more prisons which need more services and that means more money to the corporations that profit from the providing those services. Furthmore, law enforcement equipment providers make more money providing equipment and services.
I was under the impression that the oil bubble was finally what pushed the US economy over the edge and into recession back in the summer of 2008. Are we in another oil bubble now? Maybe or maybe not?
Clearly this is a reference to Norman Bates and the Psycho movies. It made me laugh quite a bit. But it is disturbing that AI data scientists were actually trying to create a psychopath. I wonder how this will pan out as the AI evolves.
Stop waiting for the government to take action. If everyone wants to teach Facebook and the Zuck a lesson, all you have to do is to close your account. If millions of people left Facebook for good, it would implode under its own weight. But alas, too many people are addicted to it. Sometimes it's the people who scream the loudest that are the most addicted to it.
Since the major code refactor, Firefox has now leap frogged in terms of performance and memory usage over Chrome. I switched back initially because I of the reports that Firefox uses resources much more efficiently. Now, I am happy to be using it and not have my data mined.
No, most are not charged for incoming calls. The only way someone would be charged for incoming calls is if they have a cell phone plan with a limited number of minutes. Most people have unlimited talk and text.
We don't need more computer scientists and software engineers. We need more people capable of doing trades like electricity, plumbing, and auto and truck repair. Let's shame the schools into bringing back shop classes.
And David doesn't win. The oil companies have revenue that is larger than the GDP of some countries. They have infinitely more legal power as well. I doubt this will go anywhere and the only folks that suffer are the tax payers of Richmond, CA. Their tax dollars are going to get wasted on a folley.
This doesn't surprise me in the least. America is due to experience the fate of Ancient Rome. Our elected leadership is corrupt and self-serving, income inequality and average debt is rising, and our infrastructure is decaying. Methinks revolution is not too far off.
These guys did the worst thing imaginable: they made law enforcement look bad.
If anyone condemning the SWATters stops to take a breath, the public might have time to consider the danger lurking in their communities, waiting for a call to go shoot some people.
It could be anyone, in any circumstance, at any time. There's nothing to prevent it happening to you or your family members. There's nothing to prevent the same people shooting more innocent people over and over, year after year. The shooters deny any responsibility for the shootings. They are accountable to no one.
I cannot disagree even more. This was an incredibly stupid thing to do but there was no intention on the part of the SWATTERS to cause a death. Maybe they should catch an involuntary manslaughter charge but locking them up for the rest of their lives is something I would expect to happen in China or North Korea. The whole problem with people like you is that you are lock them and up and throw away the key type of person. I have no problem with these guys doing some hard time but certainly not nearing or at a life sentence. By advocating such a harsh sentence, you make all of the industries that profit from corrections more money at the tax payers expense.
The people in the state legislature are pretty clueless about most things. Our Lt. Gov. is a farmer with a pony tail that almost reaches his ass.
In per-capita spending on our public colleges, we come in dead last. And they wonder why all the kids move away.
I work from home for a company in Virginia. Some of the benefits of working from home is that I can wear pajamas all day and take a short nap in the afternoon if I want. I can't do either of those if I have to drive into town to work from a office that I share with other people who all work for a different company.
Pennsylvania's state legislature ain't much better! In fact I'd argue that it's worse.
Gee, what could possible go wrong (sic) here? People will downrate the credibility of a journalist simply because they disagree or do not like them. That is hardly an objective way of determining the credibility of reported news. I thought Elon Musk was smarter than this; the idea reeks of utter stupidity. It doesn't take into account the vindictive nature of human beings or the tendency to just scape goat others for personal frustrations.

I would just like to see prices fall on SSDs to the same level as regular hard drives. SSDs are still kind of expensive.
I'll take an AMD EPYC 32 core and overclock that bitch!

Actually, this would make aircraft safer. Windows create a structural weakness in the fuselage, and without windows, it should be stronger.

The Prison-Industrial Complex of America. Big Corrections is hungry for profits.

Laws in America are often differentially enforced. Usually, the the law does not apply to the wealthy businessman.
Instead of footing the bill for more useless college degrees, why not just pay the employees a livable wage?
But this invisible scum may actually deoxygenate the water, killing off the fish life.

I work remotely so that I can work from home, not so I can commute to an office that happens to be remote from the company's office.
Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head. How is this different than "going to work?"
The best way to prevent revenge porn is to not send digital nudes to your boyfriend or girlfriend and to not even use Facebook in the first place.

I basically just use an old Dell and threw OpenBSD on it. I have something that is really functional and secure.
