"adopting mixed portfolios with different time horizons and risk levels, while recognizing organizational friction points for a purposeful (and holistic) integration."
Several CEOs around the world just jizzed in their pants without knowing why.

Whoever wrote that sentence needs to be castrated.

Comment Re:There is already a safe subset of C++ (Score 1) 24

Ish.

I would not trust C++ for safety-critical work as MISRA can only limit features, it can't add support for contracts.

There have been other dialects of C++ - Aspect-Oriented C++ and Feature-Oriented C++ being the two that I monitored closely. You can't really do either by using subsetting, regardless of mechanism.

IMHO, it might be easier to reverse the problem. Instead of having specific subsets for specific tasks, where you drill down to the subset you want, have specific subsets for specific mechanisms where you build up to the feature set you need.

Hey for half a sentence you were actually right. Good show! Build on that!

Conflating people that operate like you described is a surefire way to make yourself guilty of the very things people like yourself on the other side of the spectrum accuse the left of.

You and the people you just described are working hand in hand like a well oiled machine to fuck the world up for the rest of us.

Realistically, what will matter is what currently-clean-on-opset Pete will do to organizations(likely with Brendan Carr's slimy assistance). If they think that just doing journalist-level is going to work there's not much reason to just designate someone who can stay awake while holding a tape recorder to go collect the party line while everyone else skips the event. It's not like they are going to answer any but the most softball questions.

If anything, unless there's someone significantly smarter than Pete moderating the policy behind the scenes, this seems less likely to encourage compliance than the traditional measures; where you dole out little nibbles of exclusive and technically unauthorized 'access' to people you deem largely friendly precisely because the stuff at press conferences and releases is pure commodity(especially now that chatbots can, badly, munge it into other formats so there probably isn't even much future in rewriting or reading from the teleprompter those commodity releases).

Comment Re:Beer? Who cares? (Score 1) 67

I you drink enough that the PFAS in the beer is a concern to you, that means you drink so much you don't care about your health since you drink so much beer in the 1st place, which is not good for your health! That is really the point of what I was saying.

Nobody cares about old history where people can only drink sewage; also, bottled water is way cheaper if you are too poor to have safe drinking water you shouldn't be buying beer.

Not that people are rational. I knew an addict who didn't drink beer because "that stuff will fuck you up" while he ended up in jail while high on some mix of illegal drugs driving recklessly under the influence in a drawn out police chase. no kidding! drunk driving is bad, he'd never do that.

Comment It's a lie (Score 0) 216

The guy almost never tells the truth. This is just to sound good. He streamlined H1B last time but couldn't / didn't change the cap on workers. It became easier while he sounded like he was against it last time. He can't legally set this fee but the law doesn't matter anymore. This will have EXEMPTIONS for his "friends" besides it sounding like it is still a bargain that won't really deter large companies. They may even write it off on their taxes! Except big loopholes and exceptions for the "right" people.

Computer Science is a flawed degree but you are way off! It was a math degree initially and it was theory bound. It became corrupted into software engineering. It sounds better so the name sticks but it is more of a software engineering degree today. It really should be a math degree that has nothing from industry in it. Let them research new algorithms and have very few job prospects. If you want software engineers, then make a proper engineering degree! Stop this widespread false advertising!

Even so, industry will bitch because businesses don't do job training anymore and externalize all responsibility they can. You can't learn all the specialization out there in the industry and the things you do are possibly moved to "legacy" by graduation. Software Engineering needs to cover the common themes and theory not a specific framework. The industry needs a professional union... laying people off rather than training them or allowing self-training is a shitty thing to do. No worker should be loyal to a business that is just going to fuck them 1st chance the new CIO or CEO gets.

I've seen deported students. didn't finish their degree. I've seen self deportation too.

Why you would stay in the USA as soon as you had a chance to leave..after the degree? You are not treated well and somebody you upset can accuse you of anything and you are deported. But we'll fix that as our already declining education system gets further harmed by Trump over the next 3+ years. It is already so poor that many students don't see hardly any difference between online learning and in person learning.
