Even Al Capone went in for tax evasion. If you are going to do crime, just report and pay taxes on the income you get from it as “other”, the IRS doesn’t talk to the police for anything other than tax evasion.

In my experience, offshoring is decided on entirely at the C level or just below it by managers wanting to save money and believing they can do so this way.

They want to believe so hard that it will work that they'll mostly ignore warnings from the people whose jobs will change because of the offshoring. That's just the nature of many businesses... if managers can't see a good way to make themselves look good, they start contemplating things like this. Usually, cognitive bias keeps them from putting the brakes on.

The kicker is that for some companies offshoring works well. It all depends on what their needs are and whether they can efficiently adjust to the new scheme of things.

Of course, if it happens to work, managers tend to take that as validation of their point of view.

It's like using "the cloud" for all your IT. For some applications putting all your data on someone else's computer works very well, and for others it's impossible. Whether your company can migrate to the cloud depends on what you do and how you do it, and I have yet to work at a company with enough self knowledge to make a decision based on that ahead of time.

I'm guessing we've already accidentally seeded other bodies in space (mars, venus, moon, various asteroids, etc) with life.
All phones have a 'baseband' firmware which controls the actual radio hardware - it's a binary blob installed by the manufacturer and generally not available to the user to tinker with, although as expected there have been many projects to reverse-engineer them. The firmware exists 'beneath' the OS and all user settings, so in theory, if it's compromised (and there have been PoCs), anything that happens in the baseband would survive a wipe and reinstall of the OS. Basically it means putting malware in a place that the user cannot delete it from.

Malware in the baseband firmware could theoretically intercept or disrupt radio traffic, or migrate from the firmware to the phone via other exploits in the OS to gain even more control. In essence, it's a particularly nasty thing that surveillance states would definitely use to their advantage.

This is why 'burner' devices should be exactly that - destroyed after use, because you simply cannot trust them after they've been anywhere near an invasive surveillance setting.

Where Are We in AR's Lifecycle?
Leaving your 20s and 30s with a career you enjoy, basic benefits such as health insurance, retirement funding, and paid time off, and the ability to afford a reasonably sized home without falling into tremendous amounts of debt seems less and less likely each year. I have a lot of family who have moved from the EU to the US and back to the EU, I have also lived there myself, and I'm intimately familiar with their day-to-day. If the average American knew what the benefits and lifestyle are like for a middle-class German family, all those totally disconnected accolades about job and GDP growth that our oligarchs like to shower upon us would do nothing to prevent work strikes and riots in the streets.
Yea, but fission is just a fancy way to generate heat. Rest is basically the same. Turn it into mechanical energy, and then into electric by moving magnets vs coils.

The only other ways of generating electricity we use are different way of getting mechanical power, like wind or water, and solar cells. The latter is the only one on top of my head that's not mechanical.

Maybe making electrons move sensibly isn't that easy. Heat seems easy.

Science is useful because it has the power to predict. It gains this power from getting the same output when providing the same input. If what you are doing doesn't have the power to predict it's not science. You can still apply the scientific method to what you are doing and if you're applying that method you might as well call yourself a scientist and what your doing science, but then again, a few hundred years ago scientists didn't yet know that things like alchemy weren't science, so they applied the scientific method to it and figured out that it isn't useful.

If you ask the government to do something impossible, such as provide COMPLETE safety and security, they will try to do that. I think the news media bears some responsibility in this regard, as they always blame or call out whatever agency that fails to maintain safety and security, thus leading to severe measures to try to mitigate the previous failure.

I'm a senior enterprise architect, specialising in designing and implementing complex, distributed systems that are highly performant and fault resistant.

I also do plenty of work in fixing existing systems that are in need of some help in these areas (recently: Big Data performance and tuning, AWS-based platform evaluation and refactoring, Docker/Openshift design, Cloud migration).

I am very hands-on and frequently do things like POC development, performance and tuning, etc. I also often end up leading teams for the full development lifecycle.
In my experience, the Indian contractors are going to be lower rated technically, but for 1/4 the price you can question whether you NEED someone who's a 4/5 or whether you can get by with a 2 or 3.

Determining what functions need top technical people is something most managers figure out after offshoring, when the damage is already done.

Contractors are incredibly valuable in certain respects, but one thing they don't do generally is write code for future maintainability... they're under a lot of pressure to produce workable results quickly, which opposes planning for the long term technically speaking.

Like offshoring itself, that may not matter depending on the company and what it does.

There's always a bell curve distribution of skill, talent, aptitude, whatever.

It was not Spanish. It's origins come from the battlefields of WWI.
Yes, except instead of a receipt the gate just opened and I went through.
The rank it gives is purely one dimensional yet comparing passport power is multidimensional. For example I compared Canada, Australia and UK. Canada got 166 just above the others but looking at the compare list some countries give visa free for fewer days than the others. Is that more or less "power"?

You are downvoted but I believe you are essentially correct. It is ridiculous to send voice data all over the globe to be interpreted and send back to IOT devices. Unnecessary and certainly not elegant, since mic and device are most often in very close proximity.

Good for learning to analyze voice on the other hand, but your point is still valid. We will get a compressed voice service that easily can be held in a small device at some point, that makes this ridiculous data exchange unnecessary.

No. It depends on the person entirely and if you start digging you will find about equal distribution of people who are calmed by a sativa and people who are calmed by an indica. I personally suspect that people who feel calm from a sativa are a little ADHD and it seems to make them think better and more calmly and indicas make them much more anxious because it exacerbates and existing condition.

Whew. That's a lot of labeling! And the solution is to build evidence to be used against these tiny criminals.

Rather than just presume the kids are little shits on purpose and recording them to prove it, why not ask the kid what's going on at home? I'd bet real money that "lack of discipline" maps pretty closely to "lack of a stable home environment".

Check out HomelabOS to help install a bunch of services that can be useful to have on a file server. Many of them are mentioned elsewhere in this thread. It currently has over 50 services you can optionally enable.

The idea is you download it, you run `make`, it asks you a few questions, and then you have a working Dockerized deployment configured via Ansible, with versionable configuration.

As a south american living in the EU, I grew up hearing people saying "ah, in the US..." and while probably they were thinking back to a time when the US wasn't as terrible as it is now, it's a bit irritating for me to hear that kind of stuff considering that I graduated in the top university of my country with a masters in engineering and had to pay nothing because university is free and for everyone. I've met so many american expats in Europe who basically fled their student debt by emigrating. And that's just one thing, the fact that healthcare isn't free, people avoid calling for ambulances because they cost money, and people are jailed because the prision system has become a very profitable business.

Actually quite a few countries have a high net worth investment citizen track. You promise to loan/invest in the country above a specified amount and you can get a passport.

Pakistan is down there with them. I don't know how much higher Iraq and Afghanistan would be up the list had the US never invaded.
