Except the CEO should not have anything to with operations. They are there for their connections in every company I have worked at. They are friends with other executives, or politicians and can sway things in the companies favor if needed. They hire their friends to work alongside them. The C-Suite team are just buddies and that is it. They are rarely held accountable and they get raises (along with their exec buddies) because they are friends with their board members who were previous or current executives somewhere else. They will vote on 100% bonuses for themselves faster than your boss can get you a 5 cent raise

Most government agencies cant even pick a different vendor for toilet paper. I cannot imagine the politics involved for trying to supply weapons. All those stories on Flock cameras and being insecure etc is politics at play. Companies know the government will take a decade or more to change vendors, if ever.

This should be up to parents to parent. If their child has social media, or viewing sites that are for adults then the parents should be fined. In the US every weekend teens are shooting each other, i think we have bigger concerns than them being online

The US would only be screwed in that type of scenario if they allowed themselves to be. If things really got to that point they would just take over the deposits.

I always hear about Taiwan and TSMC for Nvidia, but what I never heard until recently is that all these forbidden and banned chips are still assembled into GPUs in China. I am not sure how the US beleives any of this will do much good when the the chips are still sent to China to be completed into GPUs and other AI devices.

I've been using Getflix for years to have my location spoofed to another country. It is a pay product though. I've used it on Amazon and mainly use it for BBC Iplayer. I couldnt ever get netflix to play nice using it or a vpn, so for it I just tunnel to my traffic to a residential address i have in mexico

I look at it more as an investment in our citizens . If you don't keep your grades up or fail out you should have to pay it back, but if you graduate and start your life, pay taxes etc the loans should be forgiven. The country would eventually get their investment back via taxes. They could implement this and some type of oversight to reign in the university costs. Easier to control indebted people though so it wont happen.

Perhaps the author heats with a wood stove. You have to get wood through your labor or buying it though, so it's not truly 0$. Plus the time and effort to keep it going.

The referrals come from the c-suite. They can call up board they're on and friends that they have. I was laid off last fall and went straight HR told them where i applied and they reached out to the ceo and he called someone with me in the office. Had a job offer 1 week later

My perception of work changed after a layoff last fall. I had the typical C-Suite reaching out and 6 months of severance. After giving over a decade of my time to a company and given 6 months of pay in return my thought process changed. I was offered a job due to their contacts, but I would be in a similar situation with no laws to protect me, so I decided to decline and left the country. I had a contact in Mexico... after reading about their labor laws I decided while the pay was 50% of what i made in USA. I didn't have to worry about layoffs. For perspective had I been laid off in Mexico and worked the same amount of time my severance by law would have been about 3 years salary. That was the bare minimum by law (if the company offered a savings accounts, which most larger ones have here). A friend in HR down here did some calculations and said I would have been most likely closer to 4-5 years because of stipulations in contracts.

This happens to me and I just move to another AI program if i have 0 idea, but I have been getting better at figuring things out too.

I would fall into this camp. I don't understand everything I am doing, but I have learned a lot through trial and error. I have an IT background in infrastructure and dabbled in automation, but never enough to be good. AI has allowed me to create things from my ideas that interest me. Is it good, no. Do I sell it though, no. I create things for myself. I wouldn't be able to do these things without it though because I didnt have the time and the teaching I had tried didnt interest me.
