cable tv you see ads.
You know Cable TV started on the premise of "no ads", right? Now they have nothing but ad channels. The 80s were a glorious, ad free, time all supported by your monthly payment.
Yes, it was ad-free and it cost less than 1/5th of what it does now. They must be enjoying some seriously crazy profits after bumping the price up 500% AND charging the advertisers.
That advice doesn't work so well in personal relationships.
Of course it does. if you ask permission, you will 100% never get what you want. If you ask forgiveness, you will get to do what you want 100% of the time and will get forgiveness greater than 0% of the time.
Then you lose your offer when you're asked for a recent pay stub.
I've never had a company ask for a recent paystub, but if they did, I sure would want to know what possible business of theirs it would be. Of course, I wouldn't lie about my salary either. I would just say it wasn't applicable.
So then who can CMU hire to replace the people that Uber hired?
Both CMU and Uber want 40 people with these skills, there are only (at least according to Uber's hiring practices) 40 people available. That's 80 jobs, and 40 people. In what way is that not a skills shortage?
There are more than 40 people available.They may have to raise the salary high enough to attract people away from whatever they are currently doing, but in a country of 350 million people, there are probably thousands of people with a PhD in AI.
The problem with your line of reason is that most Taxi drivers are NOT paid by the hour. They rent the Taxi, and have to pay for the fuel as well. Getting paid by the hour, they would make money. I cannot speak to how its done in New York City, but in this state drivers are contract labor with no benefits and pay by the hour. Being a Taxi driver is very much like being a Truck driver and they are both jobs that no one who has ever done would WANT to do. Most times it's that they need 'quick' money to pay bills and don't have the time or money to get a better education since in this county you have to PAY quite a bit for that education.
I believe that lower income contract jobs are basically a way to get around the minimum wage. If you look at places that pay contract rates for things like taxis, newspaper delivery, magazine subscriptions, envelope stuffing etc., you will often find if you do the math that they are not making the minimum hourly wage. Not only that, but because they are contract labor, the company "employing" them does not have to pay Social Security, Medicare or Unemployment insurance.
Some of these jobs it is POSSIBLE to make more than minimum wage if you really work your butt off.
the underlying economic principle behind replacing humans with machines is that humans (in this case, taxi drivers) won't be needed no more so they'll go back to school and get a better job with more value added to the overall economy. on the short run it may hurt (because yeah, 60yr old taxi driver won't become a doctor...) but on the long run its what makes economies evolve. thats why the average american is more educated and has a better job than the average chinese... FOR NOW.
And it has worked so well that we have gone from the 1960s model of a single earner working 40 hours a week bringing home more than enough money to support his family, to the current model of two earners working 60+ hours a week struggling to survive.
I found it rather amusing, especially the part where they among the listed "benefits" of upgrading is how Windows 10 enables you to "multitask like a master - with the ability to snap up to four things on the screen, at once". I literally lol:ed.
Snap? Is that supposed to mean something? As far as multitasking, 4 sounds like a downgrade. I have 25 applications open on my Windows 7 system at this moment in time.
Apart from that, it is not uncommon to deliberately avoid upgrading, certainly in the UNIX world.
Well, of course, if it ain't broke why bother fixing it? Especially since "not broke" is kind of a rare condition for Microsoft software? Plenty of people have been burned by upgrading a perfectly good version of the OS to the latest and greatest. With Microsoft, this has definitely been the case of "fool me once, shame on you...Fool me 4, 5, 6 times, shame on me."
Saw San Andreas and was pleasantly surprised they didn't moralize it or make it the Republican's Fault.
Yes, it is nice to know that Hollywood understands that occasionally natural disasters just happen and it is not always mankind's fault.
A database administrator? You ask them to grant you the required permissions to do your work and then you ask them every now and then to restore some data, why the database is performing so terribly and if they have any idea why the database crashed again (if it's an Oracle database anyway).
You don't seem to be talking about a real database administrator. Maybe a MS SQL database installer, I mean administrator. I've known people who put data into a GUI who think they are database administrators. Plenty of people who do the job you described above also fancy themselves database administrators. It goes far beyond that.
The good news about automating Computer Programming jobs is that for every programming job that gets automated it takes 1.01 Programmers to maintain the automation.
