Oh, I don't know where to START with this one. I think people hear "private" and they think "better". Which in some cases, sure. But when you hear "private" you should think "FOR PROFIT". And we

The lesson you took from "American Factory" was that the Chinese workers "seem to care more"? In the west, work is a job, and we work it for (usually) 40hrs a week. The Chinese workers were often hundreds or thousands of

I think what happened was a lot of those low-tier workers had time to evaluate what they were doing during the lockdowns, and figured they didn't have to be treated like dirt anymore. Some people of course retired, and Covid claimed pe

From the article... "that malfunction caused traffic overload. And as a result of that, the whole system just shuts down" So, a bad upgrade causes traffic overload, yes. Then the system just shuts down? It's the CEO, so I don

Already lots of advice, but I'll chime in too. Telcos are actually a few parts -- there is Voice, which can be landlines or cellular, there is Data which is usually Internet but can be leased lines. Modern networks do allow a lot of ov

This is just a rehash of an article (Linked inside the article several times!!) from 2020.[1] They claim MASSIVE reductions in crime during the run of this program, over the years 2019 - 2020. Hmmm, what else happened in 2020? Covid and loc
