The dark side of this is how they damage the total sales in their "explorations". The actual performer doesn't get a cut. They don't get to know their market value, or how bad the pricing hurts the fan experience.

Irony: In trying to win, the Chinese leaders are enforcing a death spiral. History judges with brutal honesty, and not on intentions.

Play it through: - they can't back down --> means they can't not lose half a trillion per year in current revenue --> means they don't get to spend that money on "Chinese advancement", but they might foolishly think they look "tough".

I can think of five ways out of this where they win. If they are too stupid to do so, then they don't really deserve to be in power, do they. One of the big arguments for the authoritarian structure is that they get fewer pretty faces, and 3/4 the way up the chain of command they should get higher levels of actual capability.

I'd be surprised if some analog of this didn't come out in the 80's. The fundamentals were all there, even arpanet.

This relates to the ongoing opiate crisis. Lets think about it.

Fentanyl comes from pharmacies, not the black market. The ecosystem that makes this reasonable and normal also normalized the last "zombie (drug) apocalypse".

If this dies, by clear public visibility, any group making radical profits above normal price can be made grossly visible. This would make folks like the Pharmacy in West Virgina that gave out 1500x more opiates per capita than the average across the nation - stick out like a vast sore thumb. And it could be stopped, early.

Dry up non-value-add cost increases, and healthcare might get less bad for humans.

Who are you kidding? They aren't hungry. There is lots of propaganda flying around, but they aren't really even looking hard.

HR games the system.

Wrong/weak metrics.

A better metric than the max, one that is less susceptible to noise, and more indicative of the trend, is the sum of an upper quantile. A common one is the "top 1%".

I would have loved to see a graph of the total remuneration to the top 1% of college leaders (pres and others) by year.

Steve Jobs would not approve of how auto makers do this, even though the article pretends to quote his style. It actually doesn't and falls prey to the one-at-a-time test problem.

I think the guy was out of line. I'm an engineer. I had to put at least a decade of my life, 1/8 if stats are right, into freaking hard work to earn the right to use the title, and the skill-set to not kill people while doing it.

That guy is a slap in the face to every engineer who had to work for their credentials instead of "name it and claim it" in the name of "free speech".

This is like shouting "fire in a theater" - it causes harm. Claiming to be an engineer, and driving public opinion based on that false credibility, is dangerous. Setting a precedent for it absolutely and without a single doubt has already cost many people their lives (look at Mexico deaths from earthquakes) and absolutely and without a doubt stages for more people to lose life and substantial property.

If one falsely claims to be a police officer, and extorts a fine, it is a crime. I see this as being on the same order of harm to the society.

I'm a mechanical engineer with strong minors in applied computational mathematics and scientific computing, and math has been, for me, a super-power. It opens all kinds of thermal, structural analyst jobs. I can optimize all kinds of stuff. I can automate simulations and plot the results in ways that the non-technical can get a good idea of the right direction to go. That all comes from math.

Can you hand-code a solver for Maxwells equations or Navier-Stokes (lid-driven cavity flow)? That opens electronics and thermo-fluids. How are you with classic and singular perturbation methods? That gives you signal integrity at Intel - they pay pretty well. Get a few languages under your belt - icky things that are gold plated. MatLab, LabVIEW, Python, SQL, and C. That gives you most of mechanical engineering, lab-based data collection, tons of current "data science", being able to work with previous content, and making your code go really fast, respectively.

Try not looking for jobs on monster, or dice or such. Get friendly with a technical recruiter at Manpower Technical and ask them to get you a few decent contract positions to help you both return some excellent value, and to grow your professional breadth. Make sure some of the positions are business, production, design, and leadership in that order. If you do leadership first without the others, you are wasting yourself.

Read a few books on how to negotiate salary. Your earnings at age 25 determine your total lifetime earnings, so if you let yourself get low-balled early, it can cost you a few million in total lifetime earning. You don't want that.

Once of my heroes is Karl Kempf. Read what he, applied mathematician that he is, has done. He returns a defensible $8 billion per year every year in new value to his company. He is someone to emulate.

Industrial engineers work on production processes. You can't make a bridge better without fully "grokking" the physics behind the original design. It isn't exactly amenable to incremental improvement.

FELCMSMRCS <- you are welcome, even if you never said thank you per our agreement.

It is called "technical debt" and "organizational momentum". What do you do to stop a few million person-years of investment in a toolset without loss of value? ... usually, nothing much. This is one reason that new OS and new Office versions also raise substantial ire in those same folks.

There are semiconductor fabs running most of their machinery on Windows XP for the foreseeable future.

What is your learning level and dominant modality? What is your background?

Any chance this is a red-fish (herring)? honeypot?

It is amazing to me that contractors have left NSA content on AWS then Army content on AWS. Red usually means bad, in terms of teams, and has since the cold-war. Russians like "Red" so the enemy was "red". Remember "red route 1" from Red October?

I'd imagine that, seeing how intelligence folks can listen to any cell phone, they might be able to listen to any cpu. If they could do that, even in a greatly limited sense, then any software that gives a clear "characteristic signature" would really be bait, no matter what else was in it.

So after it is exposed, after 3 generations of products, do they admit it is not a "feature". I can't imagine why they thought this kind of escalation couldn't be cracked by a 3rd party, or how it would bring brand value. This is "clipper" and yes, the hacker can control it. Dangit. Sell-outs.

I'm just waiting for the ransomware that lives on AME, and is burned to the various dies instead of on hard-drives. Isn't that what this open door means?

So much for "service economy".

Work for what? If you are a pig, then they might work well for your porcine purpose, no matter what you pen on paper to justify the expense.

What if they win where goog-boston dynamics took a left turn? China is getting good at AI and robots.

So is this tool meant as a road-map to literal pirates, so they can know what to target and when, or is it to let folks know what pirates know, so they can be taken out by the navies of the world?

Seriously - AIS "provides position, speed, heading and other metadata about its movements" and Enigma public gives "what the ship contains".

I hate the title because it sounds like a failure when in fact it is an excellent thing Delta did.

The sad question is more if I do mentoring inside of work.

Before google they were running higher than 33%. They fell down flat on their faces because of the union of greed, technical illiteracy, and market illiteracy among managers/leaders.

It looks like it was first posted to redit 40 minutes ago.

It looks like it is online during typing of annotation, trying to predict annotations.

When it says teaching, it means teaching the AI. When it says "radical" it means ... getting slightly more data input, and in an online manner.

So this is just fluff?

find the root cause by looking at rising college tuition, and by transfer rates. The root cause is not the community college. The community college is the destination.

Truth is powerful. It is stronger than willpower.

Anger is not a primary emotion. It is a secondary emotion. It cannot exist without thought. This is fact.

Anger is a response to unmet expectations. You expect and feel you deserve some "state of the universe" whether it is success, recognition, remuneration, respect, or basic human treatment. You then do not receive that thing you expected and believed you deserved, had a right to, earned, or very much wanted. That mismatch is where anger comes from.

The first way to stop anger, is to stop it from growing. If you know where it comes from, then you can change your circumstances or your expectations. Your body is presumed to have overcome an invasive bacteria when it can stop the invader from net growth. The same thing works for anger.

Anger cannot remain unless you replenish it. If you do not feed it, it does not grow. Do not review the thing that "made you angry" over and over. There is an brain hijack where you get a short-term emotional high, and find it harder and harder to resist replenishing the anger. You can't tell yourself "don't think of pink elephant". Instead you can say think very hard of "a". Read "how to live on 24 hours a day" for a good guide on focus mind on single topic.

If you don't like living in a world that makes you angry, try to make it a world that does not make others angry. If even a small majority has this as their process, then you get to live in a world where others help you to be less angry, less unfulfilled, less disappointed. You might find that fulfilling.

After you have the mental and emotional roots resolved, then you can look elsewhere.

Also, stay away from prescribed hormones. They hack the wetware. They make your biology fight your mind, instead of being its servant.

Best of luck.

It sounds like "obamacare" because "we have to pass it to find out what is in it".

No they don't. They don't want or need them. It is one of the female dominated fields, and the pay is horrible. Economics 101, if you actually wanted it, you would pay for it. I cannot accept a field where it is reasonable to pay someone with a solid Bachelor of Science, recent grad, $12/hr. That is a joke, not a profession.

link isn't working..

It is a cycle. It relates to bureaucratic and cultural inertia. The pendulum first goes to one side, then to the other. The juice thing is a moronic thing, and those who love it deserve what they supported. That means those in charge, the organizational equivalent of the 1%, are morons and anti-innovation. Those folks got to where they are from where the other 99% are, by being innovative. They have way too much capital, and too few brain-cells to differentiate anymore. It also looks like they didn't do their footwork.

Give it a few cycles, a few years, and let a few of us hard-working, thinking, and innovating 99% get a decent shot that isn't shot down by the current batch of bucket-heads at the top, and there will be another wave of "innovation". The truth is that the killer of innovation is much more about how the overall system functions, than the capacity of innovators. Did you know that Peter Principle Revisited actually leads to organizational topologies that reject talent. HR, who doesn't do math or graph theory has no idea what that sentence means. This is why there is a current drought of actual innovation.
