Both parties had this view even up to a decade ago. It was actually right-wing libertarian fanatics that advocated mass unchecked immigration with a view to cheap labor. The Koch brothers(now singular) and the vast amount of billionaires wa

Not fair on you. I did not mean to have a dig. I get where you are coming from, and should have elaborated. I've worked with those one or two engineers who were rude by default. Who had an extraordinary knack of vaguely describing the

"If you can't write well, communicate well, plan and organize" Straw man. Pretty sure, this is the dilbert equivalent of "I can problem solve". If you are an engineer, we are making boatloads being brought in to fix

Wait until you try to explain basic concepts to such people! What's annoying is HR employing more of these people and not understanding why the dial does not move. What is baffling and infuriating is when such people are put in manage

Beyond engineering itself, strictly computer engineering? How many coders have no idea what goes on behind an IDE. Have not even the slightest notion how a computer works. Who thinks building a computer means watching a Youtube video and bu

Software 'engineers' are going to have learn the hard skills that they have gotten by without thus far. The ones who were never engineers in the first place will have to learn 'soft skills' because they are incapable. I

That's not how it works. Once in control, vanguardism defends itself by suppressing all dissent. It does not dissipate. It grows like a virus.

I just watched the film about Spotify "The Playlist". It took a few minutes before I picked up that it was dubbed. I switched back to Norwegian with English subtitles and the film became instantly enjoyable. All languages hold a

"What are you going to do about it." is the new mantra of the oligopolies. These institutions, both private and public sector, are now so big, they get away with things like this all the time. It's only when the big dogs figh

There was no reply button. No it's definitely a True Scotsman. When you cherry pick what authority to quote, and therefore imply it's the only true position to have, it's a true Scotsman. Your next line affirms this. "My

As opposed to figuratively. "If you were to remove all the illegal immigrants right now from the US" The wage levels and benefits would have to rise to meet the demand for labor. The US would also have to sort out its education an

Never piss off engineers. So many software cartels went so far in ripping off their customer base that it caused a blistering clap-back. Companies like Maya were just taking the piss with their prices effectively pricing out all but big com

Poe's law. If you use a spreadsheet as a DB for any sort of application, you should be tarred and feathered, and never infect any engineering team ever. Your 'trifles' are the biggest screw-ups from functionality to INFOSEC.

No. In the West, there are competing news sources(despite the best efforts of many). They might be equally biased but you do get a devil's advocate system. China is a one party state that controls all media. Not remotely the same. In

Sure but it's email too. And just checking that website again. It's like a fidget. Hands up. I am guilty of that more than most, but I do avoid all social media.
