We have more guns - so everyone else doesn't have to, and counts on Uncle Sugar to keep them safe. I guess you are now surprised that there is some minimal cost for that.

I wasn't talking about companies struggling, but your very odd delineation of "Europe" where many of the most successful European nations are "not European" by your frankly insane measuring stick.
@Excelcia was joking, too, I believe.
We should all go have a beer.
That is mostly a myth. Looking back at the line of CEOs till Stonecipher, only one was a Harvard type. The rest were scientists and aerospace engineers.
I find it hard to digest that the scientists and aerospace engineers created the MBA/CFO culture.
I've worked in groups of each. Scientists, engineers, and Accountant/MBA types all lead differently. Perhaps Boeing is the exception, but they would seem to have the latter culture.
Boeing, for its part, was once the big house on the hill company. They produced a lot of iconic planes In the Jet age, the 707 and 727, then the revered 737 line, now dirtied by what's actually an imposter. And then there is big daddy 747.
Now? This new culture might just put an end to Boeing.
Contracts that require an employee to pay back training costs are often unenforceable in practice.
If the employee quits, what are you gonna do? Sue them? It can cost $100k to fund a lawsuit. Even if you win, then what? Good luck collecting the judgment.
What if the employee doesn't quit but intentionally underperforms to engineer their firing? Recovering training costs will be difficult.
Hiring someone already trained in the skills you need is much easier.
For some weird reason they have no problem hiring someone for six figures when training an existing person for four would do.
1. People who lack the initiative and ambition to learn independently often aren't the best employees.
2. Once trained, the employee's salary will have to be raised to retain them. So it is more cost-effective just to hire someone with the needed skills.
You are responsible for your own career. Your employer isn't your mommy.
I keep telling that but then people insist that solar and wind performs 120% of their nameplate capacity.
I think you overestimate how far your EV goes and the overhead in charging it.
>Does article mean Europe or the EU? Either way, the UK voted to leave the latter and is therefore effectively not part of the former.
By that logic, Switzerland and Norway are also not European. Kinda weird how all those really competitive and wealthy nations are "not European". Almost like you have a specific bias.
nVIDIA specifically has dkms or even pre-compiled drivers these days for all major Linux distro's - eg: https://developer.download.nvi... If you have a NIC that doesn't live in the Linux tree, you're probably doing something wrong, but both Broadcom, Intel and nVIDIA (the major players) have 'newer' drivers properly packaged.
Because a nation that large has much greater absolute numbers in the tail ends of pareto distribution of talent and skill.
I.e. they have massive amounts of people at the low end in terms of absolute numbers, and they have a massive amounts of people on high end as well. And they do invest in their high end much more relative to keeping low end up as opposed to many Western nations. Which leads to situation you describe, where low end of society is really badly off, but upper end of society is thriving so much that they take over much of the high skill work abroad because there actually isn't enough demand for their exceptional skill at home.
It's a policy choice. How much you want to spend keeping those worst off better off, vs how much you want to spend making those that are the best and the brightest even more competitive. Amount of total money to allocate is finite. And "Apu" will work for less because he's seen what actual privation looks like, unlike his decadent Westerner counterpart. So he's way less picky about getting his hands dirty, and way more hard working and diligent so he can rise above having to get his hands dirty.
This policy generates the hyper competitive Indian cadre that conquered much of IT sector across the world. And it generates utterly stagnant lower classes that still live in what resembles subsistence farming. In fact, the system in India actively promotes that sort of inefficient small scale farming because they make for an important segment of society politically, as India is a democracy. And those people are in many ways catered to to have the bare minimum level of satiation without having to work much.
Cases like migrating factories from China finding out that a lot of lower class workers in India just ask wife "do we have enough rice for today", and depending on the answer show up or not show up for work are a great example of this culture. Where people are just satisfied with their meager lot, because it also means that there are minimal demands placed on them as well. India is that weird place that really managed to sit out much of industrial revolution related societal changes, and remained that strange place that is hypermodern in cities, and hypertraditionalist in rural areas. Where you can still observe a lot of people living an actual pre-medieval peasant's life during peace time, mostly just doing nothing waiting for crops to grow unless it's time to actually do something to the crops. In which case, it's hard labor from sun up to sun down. And then it's another bout of doing nothing. And a lot of people like that lifestyle, where there's a lot of empty time to just do nothing.
You can build safeguards around it now, there is always nGINX and other app firewalls. The app inherently doesn't have to be insecure, it's just all its dependencies are but you can handle eg. TLS in ultra-modern containers.
Sure, at the very core training happens through a form of ML but LLM are really large graph databases.
Due to that propaganda, you've already been blinded. You claim not being able to see a public WaPo story lol.
The problem is that Boeing has all the safety and process certifications and people that know their way around the bureaucracy. Those things are the problem.
Factorials were someone's attempt to make math LOOK exciting.
