And the all-too-common problem is that firms haven't prepared for the necessary knowledge transfer when those boomer workers do retire. If you've got a millwright who's been working in the same plant for forty years since it opened, he'll know every detail of how things work, where things don't match the schematics, what's been tried and how well that worked out. You can't just start that process when they turn in their two-weeks' notice; you've got to have somebody or somebodies working as assistants, and you've got to pay them adequately to keep them around. Nobody wants to do that.
It’s funny how when asked about it, google instantly stated that it was being removed and all location data was purged. It’s almost as if they saw how bad it looks and how it hurts android’s reputation, but hoped no one would notice/care.
Google can use user prediction to guess which account you are with your browser, ip, ism, mac address, and other persistant metadata. Its how their whole 'you signed in from a new location' security scheme works.

Good call. But... I mean... if I'm gonna have these with me all the time I'd better make sure they're good ones. You know, durable, pleasant to use. burns 400 hours researching and buying notebooks and pens, never gets around to actually using them.

Sweet. But you know, I bet this could be more efficient if I color-coded. I wonder if I could mix a calendar in, too? What about things that aren't exactly things to do, but I want to record? What about appointments? Hm, I wonder if someone else has figure this out. wastes 400 hours looking at instagrams of other people's bullet journals, never actually bullet journals for more than a day or two

Which gets right to the point. Bread supply is elastic,you could quickly set up shop and produce more bread to satisfy demand whereas skilled labor is highly inelastic. Training, gathering hands-on experience, it's all a time-consuming process so there's a long time delay between when demand rises and when supply can rise to meet it

It can be hard. It may be less painful to do it slowly and gradually over time rather than some sudden pronouncement.

To some degree, any time anyone says they "can't" do something like this, they are saying they don't want it bad enough. I have done a lot of rearranging of my life to get things to work in a satisfactory fashion. This includes but is not limited to changing my relationship to how I use my phone. I used to be a big phone person. I now do most stuff online. After a long time of doing very little with my phone, I am slowly doing more with it these days.

But there is also this: If your family, friends and work all are basically making you crazy, they would probably do so even if phones did not exist. So, this might be an indicator of deeper problems.

Or it might be an indicator that you aren't being driven as crazy as other people, so it just isn't really that important to you.

> For me it’s not so much about maintaining authority as it is about not letting the people who you’re trying to lead walk all over you anytime they disagree or push back.

How not letting the people to walk over you is not maintaining authority? It is pure hierarchy game. "Who is more dominant male here?" Even if you are Buddha and can control your mind perfectly, separating lower instincts from rationality, then dude you are speaking to is not Buddha (most probably), and he would interpret situation as pure hierarchy game.

> How does just doing someone’s work for them indicate any kind of effective leadership?

When we see disobedient teammate we already know that leadership is ineffective. The only question remains: can the leadership become effective in the future.

> What lesson or mentoring does that provide?

It is generally good idea to reach several goals by one move. But not every time. If you cannot simultaneously reach work goals and education ones, then you can split goals and reach them in more then one move.

There is not much sense in trying to push while conflict is at its peak. Emotions get over mind on both sides. Possibly time is pressing and it is not the good idea to start discussion right now.

Later the lead can find time to speak about incident, with all its aftermaths, including him doing work for other (It gives the lead real power on conversations, like "Unprecedented! Due to your stubborness I has to do your job. Should I take your salary also?"). It should be time when the cause of conflict is in the past, when there are plenty of time to talk the past conflict through, when emotions not the present reality but tool in hands of the lead. And one more: when no one around except disobedient team member and the lead to exclude influence of social group effects on both.

At that moment the lead can calmly and purposefully explore his disobedient teammate motives and let teammate to understand the lead. Ether they will find mutual understanding, or not. In the latter case the lead would have all the reasons to fire employee who does not understand what team work is. In the former case conflict would be solved once and for ever, and there would be no need to repeat it again and again, which is real threat to authority of the team leader.

In contrast pushing conflict at its peak just to settle authority of the lead is not constructive. Disobedient teammate will learn nothing except his leader is a authoritarian headstrong dominant male, even if it is not so. The only consequence will be increased chance of successive conflicts with this teammate. It is simplier to fire him right now, than to wait for sequel.

Alternatively he will learn that his opinion is not needed, and will become silent obedient and non-creative worker. A kind of dump machine to type on keyboard. But if this is the goal of the lead, he'd better find another employee. Breaking human by force can be loud and unpleasant for the whole team.

There are no possible happy endings if the lead values authority above all and does not use his creativity to work with people.
The bus terminals are owned by the cities themselves and only at the busiest stops we have those booths. Also a lot of our manpower goes into planning new lines, marketing and customer service. And not having to buy buses at 275k € each allowed us to scale up business really quickly.

Also we really see ourselves as a technology company and are always looking for more engineers. So if you want to work in Berlin or Munich in an international team drop an email to jobs (at) flixbus.com.

I'm partial to the idea that companies should put human decency above profits, for sure. But let's talk specifics.

Making a principled stand is often important, and can make a big difference in the world. That said, I often see an assumption that China would bend if companies would just stand their ground. History suggests that this is not the case at all. China would be perfectly happy for all non-Chinese companies to withdraw and leave WeChat to stand alone. WeChat which happens to give the Chinese government access to any and every message they want. So other companies might be able to feel better about themselves, or not, but we can assume it will have no bearing on China's actions.

So, how does it benefit humans or the cause of human rights for Apple to completely withdraw from China over this? Chinese users would lose access to secure iMessage and a device with a secure enclave, but would gain... what?
The blue-green distinction is interesting because it's different in East Asia:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue%E2%80%93green_distinction...

The color of a traffic light can be referred to as blue or green. This sometimes leads to interesting translations where the color 青 can be translated as green or blue (eg 青茶 being translated as "blue tea" in Taiwan instead of "greener oolong tea" or something).
I think it's both the dog and the owner and our culture that looks down on the trades, or blue collar work. Kids are being raised and taught to work hard so they can avoid working with their hands. Trade jobs are almost seen as a punishment and schools do nothing but funnel all students into the college pipeline.

In the vision of life that is projected for students, the trades do not find themselves anywhere in that vision. It should come as no surprise that we have a shortage right now, it should only surprise us that it's not worse. Immigrant labor has long hidden the fact that American's are raising their kids to avoid the trades, and we will all pay the price for it.
There's a difference this time around: once online streaming became a viable option, people started more actively restricting or resigning their cable tv service. Until that point, there were few viable alternatives. There won't be anywhere to retreat this time. And it's not just your tv shows and movies, it's your online banking, a large part of your social life, your homework research tool, your livelihood in some cases, and so on.

I'm using a general "you" here. It's far more a pervasive presence in peoples' lives than cable tv was.

And I've commented as such already, it likely won't be restrictive and demanding all at once. It will be a progression likely starting with something like:

"Now that we are no longer bound by restrictive government regulations we can offer you new value-added-services that benefit you!

With [company]'s new Speed Boost(TM) packages, you can access your favourite web sites at a higher speed than your current base package allows starting at the low monthly fee of $5! (on a 2 year contract, $10/mo month over month)"

Once the customer base is accustomed, the language changes and becomes:

"Now with [company]'s new Choose What You Use(TM) bundles, we've retired our base packages and now it's up to you what you want to pay for of the internet! Another way we're saving you money!"

And so on. Marketing teams wouldn't let it look like: "Well, you're ours now, bitch." At least not that straight-forward.

In a port there the big ship to shore cranes and there are the smaller mobile gantry cranes. The smaller gantry cranes look like this [0] and 1 operator may be controlling half dozen simultaneously. There are huge cost savings involved because 1 person can move multiple containers, simultaneously.

These systems aren't cheap and it requires more skill closer to IT than your typical stevedore. So it can take years to recoup any savings in labor. Recouping time costs are almost immediate.

>No, you're not, and you never were, and it's bordering on dishonesty to make this claim. At best, you're paying comcast for the same quality access to anything that can reach their network at that same quality. Even that is arguable

I'd like to see where in the marketing literature it says this. Right on the pricing page it says Internet Access plans.

It doesnt say Comcast network access plan.

Also, I dont make Comcast oversubscribe their network. Thats a business decision on their side.
If the complaint is that you can't find enough workers because too many are failing drug tests[1], then your hypothetical of having "two job applicants" (for an implicit one spot to be filled) is already moot.

LE already supports SAN, which seems like it would cover quite a few of the reasons people want wildcards already, shouldn't it?
The time measured is artificial but not necessarily uninteresting. You can't measure the true end to end latency this way, but you can compare different user applications to see how much latency they add. It's not perfect but it is the best available way to measure latency of arbitrary applications without extra hardware.

I built a browser latency benchmark based on a similar method: https://google.github.io/latency-benchmark/

I did plenty of testing and found that the measurements obtained this way do correlate with true hardware based latency measurement.

All that said, it is a travesty that modern OSes and hardware platforms do not provide the appropriate APIs to measure latency accurately. A lot of what is known about latency at low levels of the stack is thrown out before you get to the APIs available to applications.

Spectrum is a product of the Charter Communications company[0]. Further, it is very rare (possible non-existent) for 2 cable companies to operate in the same market. Time Warner Cable and Charter did not compete in any market, as far as I know, so it is unclear how their merger would create less competition when the cable industry mostly operates as a monopoly in any given market in the first place.

"...the fact that you can't buy a processor without it."

Not true.

"Processor" is a large category and includes much more than Intel's products.

As far as we know it is only Intel and a select group of their competitors that offer a ME.

There are processors from other sources that do not have a ME, as far as we know.

I remember when there was such a diversity of processor architectures in use that programmers had to consider this when writing programs. Nothing stops this diversity from returning except of course a mistaken belief that Intel and its competitors make all processors on planet Earth and this is what users want.

1) Contract language that says your workforce has to be drug free (government sourced contracts doubly so)

2) Insurance. If you have a fork lift driver run into a rack of transmissions (or drive your work truck into a building) your insurance is going to demand a urine test. If the urine test comes back unclean they will deny your claim.

I think that because it is moving so fast the net would have to be accelerated significantly so that it wouldn't just tear through the net.

Proof of work systems (such as bitcoin and ethereum as of now) inherently cannot be made more efficient - their security requires that approving transactions must take so much computing power that an attacker can't afford to burn as much resources as they'd need. It'd be trivial to make the processing 100 or 10000 times more efficient, but that would defeat the whole purpose - instead, the computational (and thus energy) requirements must grow as the currencies become more valuable and processors more affordable; that's why we have the scalable difficulty factor in bitcoin etc - so that the mining gets less efficient with time.
AT&T does not have any content prior to this deal, which is why it is called a vertical merger. They are simply not competing in any business. It is quite similar to Comcast buying NBC/Universal.

Assume that this is the case… then just do the same as they already do in Australia, and put caps on how much you can download. I assume that you are totally cool with that, and indeed they already do this with a lot of mobile plans. Then Granny, who obviously doesn't watch Netflix, can get a cheap very limited plan.

The issue here is that what comcast really want, is to sell Granny a cheap plan, and sell Netflix a plan, and google, and Apple (that app store and updates you know). Oh but wait, Netflix you are already paying a bunch to throw data on the net by the bucket? That doesn't matter… you have your last mile, and you also need to pay for everyone else's last mile as well. Oh, and Google, you also need to pay for everyone's last mile as well. It's just like a Winfrey episode: You can pay! you can pay! You can all pay!!
That could be fought while there is little leeway in terms of fighting "my training and 15 years of experience allowed me to determine that the subject was impaired".
Right, but you're not seeing that everything else will most likely get higher charges. So you'll stop paying for Netflix and whatever else and they may or may not survive with others making that decision. Amazon will because it has all of these other revenue streams, but its AWS offerings will probably rise in price.

Free alternatives, like being able to stream Youtube, could be in danger of fees too. Google might have some sort of bargain with the government to keep it charge-free (like selling more data on its users). But any other video provider without Google's deep pockets will be in trouble, like Vimeo, Twitch, VHX, or some other company that hasn't even started up yet but might not be able to afford the double-dip.
Yeah. It's an absolute slap in the face to be told "Just pick another provider, you have 2 alternatives!" when those alternatives are 10x slower and my main source is already below the fastest in the city (gig). It's like telling me to turn in my cell phone for a rotary land line or to just suck it up.

If the ISPs go that route, they are creating a massive amount of regulatory debt in the same sense as programmers create technical debt. When a different party takes over the Whitehouse, they will be scrambling to manage all this regulatory debt.
I don't get what you're saying. How am I making Granny pay more? There are bandwidth caps and data usage caps, I pay for what I use. If I'm paying less than the cost of the resources I'm using, charge me more. Why does Granny or Netflix have to pay comcast for what I do on the internet?

My electricity provider does not charge differently for setting up and maintaining the connection based on what I do with the electricity, they just charge me for what I use. Why should an ISP be treated differently?
