Outside of engineering, probably. It's a simple ROI problem.

These are NOT "design" jobs. They aren't "knowledge/service" jobs either. And fun fact: retraining absolutely does not work. Less than 10% can be retrained and usually they are the segment that could have ret

No choices. This is in the Midwest in the middle of no-where. No you can't realistically move - every other location is far more expensive and would require significant relocation expense, and you'd have to leave your community,

This is why stealth recording is the best way - don't put the phone/camera/recorder in their face. Pretend it's a conversation not being recorded in any way (but actually is). Police are putting their guard up because t

Personally I NEVER want my vouching for or receiving of vouching to be automated - by definition that's not vouching. It never can be. I can never trust anything but the person with whom I have a history. I would never drop an endorsem

:-) Yep. I'm glad others are aware of this. There were certain manufacturing processes that needed to be sustained for "national security" reasons. GF was an imperfect solution but it was better than the alternatives at th

LOTS of companies are either suing or thinking of suing GF for failure to uphold technology development/adoption agreements. IBM is one of those. This Intel situation is certainly part of "keeping it in the USA" though it wo

Strictly SOS was more theory than practice. I sounds really good on paper. In manufactured practice it has major problems. Bulk CMOS was largely adopted in the late 1980s by DOD and used ever since. The ONLY source for SOS was RCA and the

This is why big name degrees on resumes are generally a red flag for me. The bigger the name, the more likely the value of degree is BS.

Yes. We already knew this. Elon is a marvelous marketer and salesman. He's frequently MISIDENTIFIED as the new Edison or Tesla. He's NOT that - both of those men were insanely technical and enough so the jump into technical prob

This can't be done safely or without putting yourself in the hands of one central authority that likely DOES NOT DESERVE your trust. Just HELL NO!

Reddit has become irrelevant so good luck with that!

These are NOT problems - they are simply differences. They happen to not be as "convenient" as the 100% artificial system INVENTED several centuries ago which is not necessarily better than more ancient systems. Equal tempered I

Yeah, really? Economic conditions are important for an economic activity that depends on making money from its market?! I would hope so.

1. Taiwan barring its citizens from taking such jobs - that's what the story is - did you even read it?? 2. Any person who left TSMC for SMIC is blacklisted now. They'll never work in Hsinchu et al. again.

You obviously know nothing about the geopolitical situation. Pretty much negates what you are saying.

TSMC pays very well compared to other companies in the same market. I'm guessing you are hearing from people who've never worked for UMC or PowerChip! Of course, the other fun fact: ANY TSMC employees who went to China will never

You have to start somewhere but it will involve pain. No matter what you do. You also have to be willing to let go of everything you think you "can't live without". Likely that means being willing to dump/avoid women a

Be aware: contractors and other workers fall into this category of "gig workers" - this will end 1099-based work as well.

What's more amazing (reading the case) is that the school was losing at each step and still was insisting on wasting government on appeals. Willfully bankrupting the school out of mere ego and hubris!

The nearest charge station to me is >100 miles away. Seriously any EV is NOT remotely in my future.

I don't see the value of any of this. I guess I'm not their target market.

Strictly no. You need "free" zero interest money from the Fed! That's how MOST stock buy-backs are financed - it going onto the balance sheet as debt which someday will bite them. This is the shitty side of many modern CEOs

Well, yeah. Because "machine AI" has NOTHING much in common with how our biological brains work. And we aren't smart enough to know what intelligence really is when we can't even define it for ourselves or in animal mod

If and only if you own the land (or enough land) to put solar collection on!! That's NOT MOST PEOPLE. And not that many "average people".

LOL. Well Duh! Most ML etc. is criminally and delusionally overhyped. But hey, Silicon Valley baby! Am-i-rite! It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that we are 10-30 years away from level 5! Level 2 is barely possible and on
