You have no idea how many horses you just offended...
There are ways to ensure a person has to stay for a while when you train them, it's all a matter of contracts. Mine stipulates that if my employer pays for my training, I have to stay around for 3-5 years (depending on how expensive it is) or I have to refund them.
Sure, one could argue that refunding may be financially more interesting than staying, but I guess that means that you should pay your workers more because if they can command a salary difference higher than the training cost, you would not have kept them either way.
This right there.
It's amazing how often I got hired for what I know (and learned on my own), for a multiple of what it would have costed to train someone who already existed. For some weird reason they have no problem hiring someone for six figures when training an existing person for four would do.
Have you tried doing that? The false positives from various electronics make the whole shit moot.
Ask me in a year.
I wouldn't discount them just yet. Does Russia still sell the products we sanction? Yes. Sure they do. We don't control the behaviour of other countries. But it means that they have to sell at heavily discounted prices because they need that money and can't really find any takers for their very one-dimensional exports.
One can argue that China is profiting heavily from this, since they got Russia by the balls and they sure know it.

This is maybe the most terse and sensible statement about AI generated content I have read in the past couple months.
Nobody had that kind of vans. How the hell would you detect a receiver that doesn't transmit? That scare tactics were employed by all of them, and everyone laughed at them for trying it.
But yes, those "triangulation vans" existed. Back when it was illegal to operate a TV broadcaster and some pirate stations did.
Just watch out, when our public extortion broadcaster noticed that people not only cut the cord but them, too, because nobody watched live-TV anymore, they went and turned their "Live TV broadcasting fee" into a "household fee". In other words, it doesn't matter anymore if you watch any TV, you pay.
And that's what I'd be fine with. I pay for it, so I don't get to sit through ads. Ok, fair deal.
What bugs me to no end is that I pay for our public TV and they still have the audacity to cut ads into their movies. "Oh, but it's less than at private TV". Yeah, so what? You want me to be happy to get the same shitty shows I get over there just with only 2/3 of the ads but paying for it?
Netflix is losing subbers from that practice. Take note.
I'm ok with adding new angles and villains, after all we wouldn't have gotten The Silence or the Papal Mainframe if they didn't dare to go outside the tried Cybermen/Daleks/Master plots.
Let's be honest here, after a while, it would have gotten boring because we already knew what to expect from the old villains. A bit of a new angle spices up the life of the show.
What bothered me in the last few seasons is the exact lack of such a recurring villain that gets built up. It was monster of the week over and over without a connecting thread. And when they tried to build up a new Teh Badz, they failed miserably and were tone-deaf to ending it before people got entirely fed up with it.
I don't think she's to blame, you just can't polish a turd of a script, no matter what actor you are.
Where there's a will, there's a relative.
