Now, Will US workers revolt when they are set to India to be paid $1.21, in accordance with local laws and scale? Or will they quit, solving a problem.

For the explanation.
I expect the feds to rule on the fraud aspect once word gets out, to prevent the burden going to cardholders.
I expect all these new systems will indeed reduce fraud. The USA is the last to use chip and pin cards (we have had them here in Canada for 2 years). Chip and pin has stopped most frauds.
I think competitive forces will cause people to avoid shopping at those places for a year, and CVS etc will find it costly to deny both Apple and ANdroid NFC systems, once their competitors get on board.

The credit card people - where are they in Apple Pay? Are they out and apple pay is between you and apple and apple provides the credit and take the fee? Or is there an extra fee overlaid on the credit card fees that the retailer pays?

These added fees now reach over 4%, which is a lot.
No wonder Rit-aid and CVS are against it.

These officers should be fired because they know better than to be a bunch of giggling school boys, and should be judged accordingly

Buy an industrial aluminum external mount box with gasket sealed top and bottom you bolt on and seal.
It must also have sealed power and monitor data entry/exit and whatever on-off/reset switch is needed.
You need to transfer heat from the CPU to the walls. The standard CPU cooler is fine, it transfers the heat to the inside air - but you also need to couple the internal air heat to the wall. So you mount a few aluminum fanned heat sinks flat to the aluminum walls by screws to the brackets that the case will have because you chose such a case from a catalog. For a typical system that dissipates about 300 watts, and the heat sinks will need thermal grease to the walls.
A sealed oil filled case will also work, remove the fan and rely on bulk convection to the low viscosity oil that fills the case totally. This will also need power, data, reset in/out.

There might be cases that fit your needs off the catalog floor = $$$

Some egg laying related chemical change causes the female octopus to die after the breeding cycle is complete.
I have never heard of any of the many assorted species of octopi to be long lived - please correct me if another know differently?

If this process can be halted, there seem to be a number of species of octopus that might develop intellectually to rival man, since they already seem as capable as many lesser species like crows and monkeys - to a degree, as the life media differs so.

I wonder if there have been any training trials with octopi? I suspect there have been. some links

I think there is a need for some research into the life cycle to see what can be done?

once the issues are clear and a position is taken and the movement gathers steam, then a campaign of obfuuscation will be created to muddle the minds of a lot of weaker minded voters.

How can this be guarded against?

Yes, the facts should be checked and once the truth is known, the proper action taken. This can range from full re-instatement of the job offer to confirmation of academic fraud. As it sits, it appears that someone who lost out on that $350,000 job decided to poison the waters, and it worked. Be a good idea to inspect those on that short list...

many companies all over the world hear as their business goes down the drain.

Traders in the distant past found good far far away, in distant lands and imported them to USA/Europe etc and often made huge profits. By control over sources by distance or contractual right or a royal decree, these traders became the huge mercantile traders of the olden days, when stuff went by camel or sailing ship etc.

Fast forward to the era of the container ship, computerized customs clearing and full information via the web. You can now order a 10 pound amount from Alibaba for $10 a pound, delivered to your door by UPS for $100 plus local freight and the small duty (under 5%). The local guy who used to buy 10,000 pounds and import it, store it and break it down to 10 and 25 and 50 pound lots to buyers is totally screwed. He can no longer ask for $30 per pound - or more. repeat this with the 5000 differnt products he imports to his warehouses and sells and hie reason to exist vanishes, along with his employees, his warehouses etc.
All that remains is a container yard and each container holds hundreds of pre-sealed and addressed boxes, with all import papers done online, with each imported earning the complete trust of US customs by never making an error in prior inspections of random boxes = very low cost and delay in the process.
This is part of the great commercial leveling that is underway (and has been underway for the past 50 years, with electronic communications and container freight and relaxed trade barriers).

So stuff gets cheaper, jobs here go away, and jobs in other places happen. The only way to fix this it we all get the same wages for the same work all over the world - which is slowly happening. After all, why should guys in China work for less than we do? we are all men and women of equality?

So a guy, or gal, with a lot of cojones may well need a cajones to keep all that power in reserve

The elevators are obstinate, bullheaded, piggish, among many other dysfunctions....;)

Tech jobs want specialists in the product, be it hard or software. We live in the age of specialties, since few people can master all tech knowledge. Management should be equipped for critical thinking, by nature or by hiring the needed skill. If a specialist and his friends start a high-tech venture, surely they will hire lawyers, accountants and other non tech specialists? The markets will require a prospectus, which begets lawyers and financials, which begets accountants, and as the company grows a hired cadre of people will emerge with all the needed skills because market feedback will ask questions that rewuire those specialists to answer them.

They want to build the Great Wall of Canada - Good Luck with that, and good luck getting elected on it...
