Comment Re:In-house staff do have advantages (Score 4, Insightful) 232

10% cost saving which you will likely need to help your new potential employees fight their non-compete contracts with the employer that you just poached them from. And possibly to fight your own lawsuit for poaching them in the first place. Outsourcing firms are typically fully aware of the possibility of losing their mostly underpaid workforce to their clients. Most have non-competes in place for this very reason.

Comment Re:Time to move. (Score 1) 377

What would the USA look like today if Ben Franklin, George Washington, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, Sam Adams, etc., etc. had moved somewhere else? "Be the change you want to see."

What would the USA look like today if the first colonists had never packed up and left somewhere else to move here? Works both ways.

Comment Re:Why all the docking hyperbole? (Score 1) 127

We can't get computers to drive autonomously on earth, but we can program computers to automatically dock with the space station, that tells me it's EASIER than driving.

Your analogy immediately took a nosedive when you compared driving a car with parking a spacecraft. Computers are already somewhat decent at parking cars. However, if a computer had to navigate a spacecraft safely through a congested orbit of spacecraft piloted by humans it would likely be just as bad as it would be driving a car.

Put simply, you've overlooked the reason computers can't drive cars autonomously - it's impossible to predict with 100% certainty what the humans driving around the computer will do.

Compare the results of a crash with someone who has used those comforting seatbelts to the results where no seatbelt was used. I think you'll agree that they provide a lot of protection. Most people would say they aren't especially comfortable; people only use them because they don't want to get a ticket.
