. It's difficult to fake skill, if your skill review is being done by someone who cares, and has knowledge to call you out.

You must live in a shithole.

China and India aren't responsible for the accumulated anthropogenic CO2, which is actually causing the warming.

That CO2 is 2/3 from trumpistanian, 1/3 a mix from mostly Western Europe with bits thrown in from Japan and the former Soviet Bloc, although today the last item has been reduced to practically zero.

If China and India would continue to output at their peak rates, they'll begin to catch up with the currently accumulated CO2 in about 50 years. There is also the part that a lot of what China and India output is actually output on behalf of consumers from the richest world anyway.

This rule seems to be trying to discourage other countries from acting upon their own laws and morality.

A firm doesn't need to have plans consistent with climate goals in order for an investment in that firm to produce results consistent with climate goals. The reason oil and gas companies got such a large share of green investment is because they ... invested it in green energy.

Yeah in the past year they've all backed off, but that didn't mean that BP wasn't one of the biggest wind producers in America, or one of the largest solar companies in Europe, or that Shell doesn't have a *massive* EV charging network, or that Total isn't at the forefront of floating windfarms or that Chevron isn't building massive amounts of green hydrogen generation.

The investment here is in engineer, and fossil fuel companies are the undisputed leaders in execution of major energy engineering projects.

This entitled moron wants you to believe he did 1290X the work of a salaried employee at 150k.

>But why should we accept that a contract between an individual and a multinational corporation is fair? And that one between a union and a corporation is unfair?

It means that when there is crunch time for a release of a "product", in this case technical updates to an existing platform, you are expected to work after hours and be ready on a moment's notice to do some hardcore coding for extended periods, which can in fact be considered working hard.

What kills me is vax deniers claim to have "done their research" but seem oblivious to what life was like before vaccines. Pretty much every one of us would know someone who had died or had lasting side effects from diseases that we now have vaccines for. We really don't want to go back to the way things were before vaccines or we'd have shit tons more horrible stories like yours, many of which would end a lot worse.

Because not vaccinating is simply one thing: dumb. And not vaccinating your childen is child abuse.

Yes, anything has risks. Not doing something alos has risks. The smart thing is to honestly and neutrally look at the data and then make a decision. Instead panicky, insight-less and idological approaches have replaced rationality. Pathetic.

That means that salespeople are best on the road seeing clients in their home territory, not sitting in a home office, in front of a computer or in meetings with middle managers. Pulling salespeople back to the office will probably reduce sales performance, not enhance it. This means that IBM is expecting a MAJOR sales drop in the coming months and, yes, this is a stealth layoff. I’m not sure how I feel about stealth layoffs. In many ways, they’re more humane than the standard in-your-face layoffs.

To be completely fair though, President Trump to do $THING is often followed by disaster. Check the stock market today, for example. Oh, I know, fifth dimensional chess and all that, but still. My 401k valuations look like a rollercoaster this week.

What you get remotely is a pale imitation of the bonds built through direct interaction. It's kinda hard to go out for a post-work beer with your colleagues if you're not working together. No office birthday parties, no community-building activities, no chit-chat at the copier... The claim is a load of nonsense, either intentionally or delusionally.
