Really good way to sell electric cars. Good job Elon.
The only honest answer in the whole thread
“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure” exists exactly for this, I think.
‘final’ offer
Ah, I see Boeing execs still have not realized that the skilled labor makes the company work. The ‘final’ offer will be Boeing falling further towards obscurity because the C-suite can’t see that they are the problem.
In stark contrast, you can put any old exec into an exec spot and they’ll be just as useless as any other exec.
For a company as large and influential as Boeing though – this is why other countries have nationalized entire industries for less.
Yeah fair enough. I probably should have qualified it more.
And it is why we are starting to see so much more unrest regardless of what country you’re in.
Global communications are now such that it is impossible to hide a worldwide trend like this. It is also becoming easier to make direct comparisons between conditions country to country as a side effect of globalization.
The trend itself is not surprising, but it does highlight a need for action which is not limited to a single place.
Old Man Trump doing old man things.
This is one reason it is so wild that corporations in the US are entitled to “free speech” (in the form of spending) after the Citizens United decision. They get benefits as if they were a person, but far fewer of the natural restrictions.
That dude ain’t protecting anything but Trump’s ego (and his own). Vote these clowns out.
RDR2 was a beautiful game and one of the few that gave me a serious emotional response at the end. But it was a bit long winded along the way, so I’m OK with this.
He’d be 82, and the implication is that the country would have just had 4 years of a relatively young, female President.
He doesn’t sound like a viable candidate at all in that scenario. (Not that he’s a viable candidate now and they still ran him, so I guess all bets are off anyway)
It will be largely dependent on your industry. But I do have a couple general comments:
If you’re coming from academia, you almost certainly value your degree more than an employer will, at least at first. Certainly, some industry positions will require a Masters and some may even be PhD preferred. But this is going to be an extreme minority of positions, such that there are far more people with MAs and PhDs than positions (same problem as professorships in academia). You will almost certainly need to cast a wider net than you might feel is appropriate.
Getting a foot in the door is almost always more important than finding the perfect role early on. Plan to iteravely improve your positions and “fall up.” Just as lecturing or adjunct positions are a reality of academia, job hopping is increasingly a part of industry life. If you do it right (try and stay in positions around 2 years, then start looking at other options) you’ll get a significant raise every time you hop – typically way more than you would get staying put. The perfect role may come, but it won’t be your first. Probably not your second either, so focus on building industry experience rather than one specific job.
Since you’ll need to cast a wider net, you may be applying for roles which do not require postgrad stuff. It will be necessary to show transferrable skills rather than relying on academic experience or accolades. I’ve felt that my academic experience has been helpful everywhere, but people don’t tend to get hired for that alone for most positions. It is imperative that you are able to show your worth in a way that is not pointing at a piece of paper. From a hiring standpoint, if it is between you with degree(s) and another applicant who may have far less academically but showed the skills, the employer will pick the other person most times, because they likely suspect you want more money on the basis of having the degrees.
Just a few things that come to mind. But of course, once you get those first couple roles under your belt, it’s a different story. “This person has years of good experience and results AND they have a PhD?” That’s when you start looking for the perfect role.
And especially for #2: job hopping is infinitely easier if you can land remote roles. I have been lucky enough to have been in remote roles for nearly 10 years. The same logic applies: show your worth. And, take that remote contract to start. The need to build experience is annoying, but it is a necessity, and if you’re coming from academia, it’s one thing for which you are automatically behind the curve.
Would be a great Outback Steakhouse for those who want to be down under but never leave South Dakota.
I played the game for a long time. Then I went to industry and never looked back.
I totally, totally get people who stay in academia. I’ve had and in a way still have the dream. But: the struggle is just as bad if not worse than industry, while the money in industry is much, much better.
How do you know it’ll flip? Could just fall straight into the hole.

The existing MSFS is already effectively a live service. Lots of features which make it stand out are not available in offline mode.
But they do follow the phonotactics of the speaker’s language – the rules of which are ultimately arbitrary.
She was wonderful in everything.
Perhaps it’s just because maybe it was the first time I saw her, but I’ll always associate her with the 1990s film “Hook”. She played someone much older than she was at the time. “Peter, you’ve become a pirate.”
