Lenovo was never an "IBM brand." IBM sold them their client computing assets in 2005, and their x86 server assets in 2014, but Lenovo has never been a part of IBM.

They can work, but they have major issues.

1)For at least the first 6 months, if not the first several years, it will take more time and money to teach them than they generate. Why would any company do this?

2)As a hiring manager at company B, I see you apprenticed at company A. I have no idea if that means you're qualified. I can't trust company A to tell me, they're a competitor. Schools stand as a neutral 3rd party telling me that they've completed a set curriculum and should know that much. It's not perfect, but it's a start.

3)Some fields just have a huge amount of up front learning before you can be useful at all. Apprentice plumber? You can run and fetch tools and hold things in place while you watch and learn. Apprentice electrical engineer? You have no idea what inductance is on day one. There's literally nothing you can do. So basically at this point you're hoping the company sets up a school.

The fact that amino acids and other chemicals used by earth based biology can form fairly readily has been known since the Miller-Urey experiment in the 1950s, this isn't news. The problem is there's a big gap between biologically active chemicals and biology itself, specifically a molecule that can replicate, evolve will a surrounding framework of chemistry. We don't yet know if THAT can spontaniously evolve anywhere or needs to very particular conditions that happened to exist on earth after it formed.

I'm sure the shareholders will be lining up in droves to accept your offer of 1/25000 of a cent per share.

Nothing nefarious here, no potential for abuse, move along, move along.

Nothing happened to The Times. It's the best selling broadsheet in the UK and is far from being a right wing tabloid. Perhaps try reading it sometime instead of spouting some 3rd hand BS you saw on reddit.

Can we add "surprise and delight" to that list of firing reasons?

I didnt find canada diverse when I've visited, not compared to europe. So Quebecens speak french, bfd, it's not Martian ffs and it's a lot nicer sounding language than spanish with it's annoying babbling cadence and nasal vowels.

From TFS, this is serving commercial flights rather than general aviation.

Typo: should read 150 million cubic feet

Yet 150 cubic feet of gas per day will be burnt to run a datacentre to so what.... generate more AI slop and scan images in order to stroke Fuckerbergs ego and reduce what little privacy there is online that little bit more?

Probably some of

E) Users are purposefully using privacy blockers that don't leak details of their computer

  as well. Why should a website know my OS? It's serving HTML, it shouldn't make a difference to it.

I'm aware, but unless they're piping the input to /dev/null (which they of course are not) the data is almost certainly going to a "centralized purchase record database" which the grandparent has blithely assured us is not happening.

If that's true, why are they typing my driver's license number into the cash register?
