Desperate humans are a great fuel for any type of change. Those desperate people will not care about the world burning around them, or prevention of it burning. Walmart, insurance, and shipping companies are one of the top 5 or all in the

If someone has the tech to convert nuclear fuel to weapons, they are a short step from converting raw ore to nuclear weapons.

Uber has killed so much goodwill and their reputation so well that no one will be surprised at almost any accusation directed at Uber. I know my first thought was "not surprising", and I imagine others will think the same.

It's worse than you think for those with low balances. Gas stations and some other companies 'susceptible to fraud' Have the ability to withdraw cash before the whole bill goes through. So the swipe has $70 withdrawn, then

Probably not zombies, just miss identification of a deep coma. Especially during plague times, people knew to not linger near the dead and quickly get rid of them (a logical reason for the miss ID, rather than the normal stupidity people

Then replace anything that looks like an ad with their network. While offering other ad networks the ability to not get their ads replaced. Since they're more likely to stay silent.

SV just can not be trusted with biology. The mottos of failure is OK, lawsuits are cheaper than following laws, move faster than the ramifications, force it to be all or nothing, and just ignoring the fact that there will be fallout. I do

I've always made fun of tech diversity when I've been on their campuses. Most of them all had the same problems, the same rearing, talk to same, same credential's, and acted the same. Even though it looks like a rainbow of c

When interviewing for a field tech (electrical TS&R work) position I've been put in front of unfamiliar equipment to troubleshoot. Some companies will end up sending you for testing. Which normally have less than a 5%-10% pass rat

The social conflict would be the same as combining IBM, Dell, and Google.

Why would you think this is more likely in the IT field, at least in the States? It makes good sense to hold back a good worker so that they keep doing good work, instead of spending a quarter on learning a new job. It makes sense to put a

I was about to question the OP as well. The NAVY at least has gone through a bunch of work to make it difficult for skilled/invested-in workers to leave. If it was that easy to rid yourself of clearance, A LOT of programs would empty

Likely to fall on mostly dead ears here. Since unions stifle the concept of a 10x-er and other valley employment stories. Manufacturing unions are on their way down and have been for a while. The ease of having off site campuses and compan

In similar vein a tool that would let you 'play' with hardware functionality/config software without needing to buy it 'simulation on a PC or similar'. Just having a sane place that list specs for competing products

Does every company really think it's economical to hire Da Vinci like minds. If tech companies want people that can art and math (or think natively in both artistic and structural terms), they're going to have to change K-12 educ

If I were to blame one group, it would be the loan industry. Though I wouldn't fault them for it or say it was intentional (at least at the on set). First you become forced to make loans easier (it only take a quick glance to see them

Quite a few military personnel pick up few hard skills. Unless you're in a trade/rate with with high knowledge requirements it seemed like they preferred it to keep some people in. That being said the current business 'praye

You're asking to go silly places, and full conspiracy mode. So let's go there. I'd say Democrats, and the liberal press. What better way to show Republicans being bad, then how quickly companies go full abusive when they&#x

There are, but they're virtually reserved for ex-military. Though that can actually be an interesting problem for all three parties.

Why haven't lock screens gone with floating/moving numbers yet. Or at least a pin pad that randomizes number positions. MMOs have had this 'comfort' feature since the late 90s as a antikeylogger feature.

I would recommend the game SpaceChem. It is outstandingly parallel to programming in the sense there is branching, testing, looping logic and similar. You'll probably even love the game yourself. It has great commanding/m

Imagine the legal liability you'd incur if the layperson could track the source of inaccurate data, then proved in court it kept them from getting a loan. Those are provable damages, and maybe slander if they can convince the court the

That's about what I'd expect mid level union workers to make. Maybe skewed a little high. Similar for most skilled trades, though worse benefits for nonunion..

Actually Wisconsin isn't by any fault lines and occasionally gets an earth quake (very small). From the glacier recession of the last ice age. Turns out glaciers are heavy and bedrock is still uncompressing. So we do have proof of w
