One with, and one, with a smaller code base, without?

Over what time do your figures for the dot com bubble bursting cover (and the numbers would include me, personally)? This is *just* this year, not even a full 12 months.

No, it wasn't then. Charlie Stross revealed the TRVTH the other day - it was when a pine marten cut the power to CERN, and one entire trouser leg of time vanished... in the spring of 2016. Otherwise, one Trump would be sitting and weaving baskets in an assisted retirement home.

Ok, what's a "workplace practitioner"? Is that someone who actually works, or just studies people who do?

And let's see, so there's a smaller entry workforce - that is, population dropping is suddenly one-tenth what it is today over the next 20 years? How, war? Plague? And middle management will go away. So... who the hell will the C-suite scam, when there are no such jobs, and so no one can afford goods or services, much less have money to invest in their scams?

Also, I see, they expect upper management to say what it wants and the AI will do it, with some small help from their reverse centaurs. Right. SQL was innvented by IBM to "cure" the programming backlog, so that managers could write their own brief queries. (Should I have warned you not to have a drink in your mouth when you read that?)

While we're at it, "training"? Let's see, in a 39 year career... I had some audio tapes once. Real training? Once. Training, of course, is "just a waste of ROI".

What a crock.

Wrong answer. As it is, generally, you have to get consent to take a picture of someone. Why is this different?

And if you say it is, how 'bout I take a pic of *you*, and put your image in a compromising position, and get it going viral?

You really are an ideologue. You have no idea what "far left" actually means, but from your point of view - fascist - everything to the left of Faux Noise is "far left".

Your opinion, without facts, is meaningless.

FACT: Canadians I know consider most Dems on Congress would fit comfortably in their CONSERVATIVE Tory party.

I, an actual socialist, don't qualify as "far left", but how 'bout we nationalize all electric companies, and the grids?

Are you that desperate to meet your expected number of crap propaganda posts this week? Not only is your post word salad, based on nothing but the garbage between your ears... why shouldn't we assume it's right wingers? YOU are the ones who are all guns, all the time.

Hey, clueless...
1. They are separate countries, not US states.
2. They have their own laws, and if US companies want to operate there, they have to follow THEIR laws.
3. They're fed up with no right to repair, and the probability (not "possibliity" that US companies have kills switches. You know, the way John Deere shut down the tractors that the Russians stole from Ukraine? Like Demented Dozy Don got all upset with the INTERNATIONAL Criminal Court, and had M$ shut down all their online operations/

Not paying any attention, are you? Datacenter buildouts are 90% of the current activity. Excluding that, the US GDP rose... I forget if it was 0.1% or 0.01%.

Oh, and there's two datacenters in Nvidia's home county, completed.. just sitting there because of lack of electricity.

taking away incentives, but adding taxes.

Gee, and here I thought they were all "the invisible hand of the free market"...

Except Venezuela's oil, I understand, is high sulfer, and heavy. Nasty stuff.

...then, with no Glass-Steagal, screw around.

Another major bank that will crash when the bubble pops.

Am I going to have to find another browser? One with NO chatbot functionality? Maybe there'll be a non-AI fork of firefox.

A *lot* of HR is now outsource. They have NO IDEA what the hiring manager needs, or would like, and ask for years experience for entry level. (No, of course that makes no sense, neither do they have any.)

I'm reminded of an ad, what, 20 or so years ago, requiring five years of python experience... when the language had just been released three years before.

And they want degrees, *and* certifications (right, you've got $5k or so burning a hole in your pocket, for *you* to pay for Oracle, or some other certification).

Come the Revolution, HR will be led into the parking lot, asphault tossed over them and they'll be paved into the roadway, and thereby serve some use to society.

Oh, you mean like the children of the wealthy? Like Trump? Or Barron Trump?
