Took an introductory HR course once. Apparently you are allowed to lie if you are asked illegal questions during an interview. So if they ask if you want children? You can say no, even if you are on iousky carrying a child. Union took care of that. Greetings from the EU.

Isn't that the problem? 200$ an hour? Do due diligence, charge for 10 hours of work, 2000$. Do 10 cases with Ai in 10 hours, 20000$. A few fake references slip through during review. Some get noticed, fine for case 8: -3000$. 17000$ earned.
Go for the red pill, the blue one is for pansies, some would state.

Exactly! Oil prices are up, profits are up, the US is safe from shortages and it is all Obama's fault. He could not be happier.
Meanwhile my country is struggling with rising costs and outing warnings for energy shortages in a few months. He is doing it. He is making the US great again. Not by improving life in the US, but by downgrading it everywhere else. He is even framing it as if it is our own fault. "Stupid EU, helpless without the US and too lazy to get stuff in order by sending ships." He may be smarter than I thought. Interesting to see how he will frame the recession though. It may be the thing that bursts the Ai bubble. God I'd want to fast forward 10 years to see how it all turns out.
Oh well, we're prepping for blackouts, there may actually be some fun and quality time in it.

Teacher here... I have an old colleague who patrols the school. An old woman that made an art of scolding someone out. Her husband was a heavy alcoholic. Life was tough on her, but she uses that energy brilliantly. She is fun to hang around, but oh boy, even if I am only slightly out if line, I get the full blast. Just put those old guys in our school under her supervion. She will have them saying sorry to the world in a week. No water boarding needed. Men...

Depends on who trained the Ai... Some of us expect ai to be better than humans, more rational, but it has the same weaknesses as we do. It all depends on how it is brought up. It is an interesting philosophical theme that leads to questioning what the meaning is of life, the universe and everything. If it is trained well, it will say 42. In a few seconds instead of billions of years.

The whole "do not work from home or else" rethoric, wasn't that a US thing? They have been pushing back on working all week from home here, but that in my opinion is quite reasonable. Good ideas form when people are annoyed by each other... ;-) To my knowledge a lot of companies have a "one day work from home a week" policy if it was practical.

Comment Re: I get that they don't like MS office (Score 4, Informative) 77

I like Microsoft office, better than Libreoffice, which I used a few years before I got Ms office at home through work. But since Snowden, it was pretty clear to me that there probably were intentional back doors.
Best case, this was only used for (inter)national security. Worst case? This was abused to do industrial espionage, extort people, ... With Trump? You bet they will abuse it without a second thought. We are switching back to Libreoffice now. Too bad though. I miss PowerPoint and OneDrive. Oh well... we will adapt. It is for the greater good.
