Point 3 -- How does this help them?

Flooding the job market with fake ads makes it harder for their competitors to recruit.

The proposed law is unlikely to be effective because it's difficult to prove an ad was fake rather than just unproductive.

Like many other regulations, it kicks in only for companies with 50 or more employees. For years, I worked for a company with exactly 49 employees. Anytime we hired someone, we fired someone else to keep the headcount below that deadly threshold.

Comment Re:Was he held on gunpoint for this deal? (Score 4, Insightful) 29

We hear this a lot, and I wonder if it applies here too.

Of course it does.

Hint: The deal was announced in Washington, DC, not Seattle or Chicago.

This was political.

I assume the Koreans are shrewd enough to write the contract so they can back out if Trump fails to keep his side of the deal.

First off I would have to have a bank willing to loan me to Capital to do that.

Not really. You can start with a GPU, which you almost certainly already have. That would be enough to test and debug your model.

You can rent GPU time online by the minute. You can leverage open-source models. You'd need very little money to get started. Then bootstrap from there.

In practice, that's what they do.

Most scientific conferences are in English. International tradeshow exhibits are in English. Anyone working in a customer-facing tourist job is expected to speak English.

The same is true in Asia. There was a recent summit between Japan and Korea, who rarely speak each other's language. So the meetings were conducted in English, which is widely spoken in both countries.

What happens when a "small government party" takes over a company and begins to micromanage?

You get Lemon socialism .

No one without a vested interest thinks this is a good idea.

The stuff the trump party is and has always been against, except when in power.

That was the past. Trump has transformed the Republican Party from the party of the bourgeoisie to the party of the proletariat.

Comment Re:I threw away polystyrene today. (Score 1) 62

When I was twelve, my mom asked me what I wanted for Christmas, so I told her I wanted the Anarchist's Cookbook.

I have no idea where she got it, but it was under the tree on Christmas morning.

I loved that book. I read every page at least five times.

Most of the electronics information is way out of date, but the rest is still good.

I had my kids read it too, and we did some projects together. It was a great father-child experience.
