Cool, so does this mean Apple will let contractors park in the front lot or Google contractors actually get perks???

In all seriousness, it is cool as long as you have another place that is home. Traveling for a living gets too much after awhile.
The parties involved right now are resulting in a much worse than medicare solution as it is similar to the three wolves one sheep version of democracy (which is the whole premise of libertarian concerns about democratic socialism). It is an attempt to obfuscate the otherwise obvious corruption and theft that is healthcare. Here the wolves are the AMA(doctors), insurers, pharma, and the politicians claiming to want to solve healthcare. The AMA and insurers have insane billing policies based on assuming inept doctors and corrupt patients.
Most insurance today is just passing on the discounted (actual) price on to the insured co-pay or deductible. They cover very little normal costs of medicine nor do they provide any actual services for their premium.
The main reason we don't have universal medicaid/medicare is similar to why the IRS doesn't do electronic filing themselves. Billions of dollars of middleman and tens of thousands of otherwise worthless jobs are on the line.
We need a private/public system. It will initially look costly and it will suck (differently) for doctors and hospitals. However, in five to ten years the costs will stabilize and insurance and other services will be more honest as they will have real competition.
Also, he should try to just fly back to the UK for non-emergency issues. Most foreign friends I have just keep insurance in their home countries as it costs usually 100-200 a year. A $1k flight back to see your family is cheaper than any surgery in the US.
Better productivity? Man my eyes die a bit each time I zoom in on EDAs. I can't imagine editing docs this way...
For inventory you could use decawave, but it would be pricey.
They were already in the class or network of people. They knew they were going to be 'doing that work' because they were already recruited into that world long before university. It has nothing to do with their degree other than a passing qualification that they were expected to receive and in many cases the school just hands them no matter what their grades really were.
The degree is a technicality to their position and I am saying that the example you gave while interesting is not normal for anyone planning to work for a living.
I worked peripherally to publishing and am quite familiar with the situation. We had $1 million plus commission sales people 'of the right sort'. Did they know what the tech they sold did or have any real sales skills? Did it matter?
This is complete garbage. Some relationship to the internal frequencies of the brain, ie. its various analog clock tree mechanisms means that because all matter is based on subatomic vibrations rocks and atoms have a degree of consciousness too?
Wow, my laptop running at 2.2GHz(and various other frequencies) must be a supreme being.
Yes, obviously a clock tree is important to sync various neurons together efficiently and where ever there are conflicts, ticks will be lost or (whatever the thought real equivalent is). The more sync'ed the more complex the brain obviously, but whether that is 'consciousness' or just efficiency... or anything else? This writer obviously has no clue. At least they didn't say the brain is a quantum computer because of vibrations.
They could get execs to save face and sign off on bumbling through two years delivering non-functional crap that could never do what was promised for millions.
HR is almost always the failure in hiring and I am sure the recruiting/admissions will fight against whatever 'grit' factors and measurement is figured out as they still feel good personally about good grades and test scores.
Of course the US is getting that way with politics, including a mass shooting so I guess I can't talk much.
The only comment I have toward the discussion is to remember that the medical field (especially in the US) has a strong religious bias to diet. There are universities, medical schools, and hospitals built by religious groups who have very strong opinions on what is a 'good' diet. Medicine is more craft than science. Medical study quality and governance board decisions should always be questioned.
Republicans are usually a middle aged male female team. They are very polite and will discuss the election in general before admitting who they represent. They will also try to sway with fiscal voting histories and moderate policy choices.
Democrats will usually be a group of twenty year olds or middle aged teachers. They are pleasant, but immediately hand you the flyer and start to discuss 'stopping' this or that. They usually don't talk about their candidate, but discuss negatively the competition and Republican national level platform concepts and of course recently Trump. The majority of flyers they send out are negative campaigns.
There is one campaign this year and the only ads running on TV right now is a negative ad against the Republican because he voted against funding bills that claimed to support some senior citizen project and schools. I honestly think this is a smooth play on the Republican party to keep quiet.
Similarly, the Republicans where I live are always sending DC interns to us for state legislature. I guess it is an attempt to give the intern running experience. The campaigns hardly ever seem to be an actual attempt to win.
The area is full of good paying jobs. What that means is the local politicians are usually some rich person's partner. Otherwise the crop is usually public employees with an ax to grind or personal trainers/masseuses looking for a steady income.
I live in a state with caucus primaries and it prevents any non-party candidates. Even at the local level you get some horrible choices of picking the least bad, corrupt, or even crazy guy.
Luckily, for at least some positions there is not enough party interest and there are 3 or more candidates that have to explain their platform and reasoning. If only that was the case with the more important positions.
