Comment Re:Needs better Targeting (Score 1) 128

the fact that they keep falling for the tests as opposed to the people that don't. if people are getting 3 fake phishing attempts a day, and 80% aren't clicking on anything after a week, then maybe you don't need to keep doing 3 fake phishing a day for them and instead reduce the amount of time on it for them to a couple times a week. But conceptually the idea that if someone is a screw up we have to treat all employees like screw ups is problematic.

you're seeing and missing the point in the same breath. Universities used to be the only places where it was possible to delve into things beyond normal ken. They are not and that's why the education system is in the mess it is. It never adapted, now, other than a few paths, most college degrees are simply paper because the knowledge is available to anyone that wants it, and only specialized paths, such as medical for instance, would really require you to go in. what should happen, is that most universities either go away or become trade schools because that is what is needed more now. The knowledge for most things are out there, the application is what is needed. Given that Universities are for profit, it should be obvious why that won't happen though. So this will get messier and messier until enough people can't afford college and a couple of them end up collapsing on themselves anyway.

Comment Needs better Targeting (Score 1) 128

Harmful; no Annoying; sure The main issue I see with this, is the same problem modern management seems to have in general, which is they are unwilling or unable to target the people that actually need the training more and instead do the general blanketing 1 person needs more help than others, so everyone gets it. Where I work there definitely are a number of dumbfucks that click on everything, but whenever they do, the rest of us get hit with the punishment as well. I can't fire them and their management won't fire them but we're all held to blame. To bring it back to a tl;dr. The idea is sound, the execution and targeting leaves a lot to be desired.

Comment Re:Whatever happened to Hybrid cars? (Score 1) 294

that's good to know, after I get a car I generally lose track of latest trends but yeah, at the moment, would rather have a hybrid where, maybe I do lean on the electric 90% of the time, but still have gas for when I need it for the other 10% at least until infrastructure is better.

Comment Whatever happened to Hybrid cars? (Score 1) 294

it feels like it was around for maybe a 5 year period, solved a lot of issues that people wanted and would help bridge the gap while the electric infrastructure is brought up to speed. granted I don't really follow the car market so maybe there are still dozens of brands out there still but it feels like we started going the hybrid route and then said, fuck it, lets go full electric before everything is ready.

Fuck all, China runs 90+% of the world's logistics because it was decided that a single point of failure was a great idea because of money (dev ops and sys admins everywhere cry), and the global shortages of everything taught companies....not a lot, maybe a couple percentage points of things moved away from being routed through chinese shipping lanes but everything else is back to the way it was but with more hand-wringing.
