He thinks he's playing the "smart game" by sucking up to the industry because we all assume he wants a kushie job/position after he's put in his time at the FCC. Yet, industry (no matter what they make or do) isn't loyal. At the rate Pai is going, he'll be a bigger liability then an asset to any company at this rate.
Constant internal wrangling because no-one is willing to make the bold decision in case it comes back to bite them.
^^^^^ Pretty much says it all. And it doesn't seem to matter which country it happened in, be it government or private industry, etc. It's have the balls to make the decision and then to hold the line on that decision. But.. profits, job fear, and pressure make weaseling out of a decision preferable.
I recall going through this about 40 years ago and it seems like history is repeating itself. I went to interviews in engineering but for a period of time, white males weren't being hired. At another point, Vietnam vets weren't being hired. Then the dam broke.. males who were Vietnam vets were in demand. At another point, the ideal job candidate was a 60-iish, black woman, single mother, and had one leg. I guess things don't change at all except we now have the SJW tag.
Interesting issue. Will it create more jobs, etc. Or merely line the pockets of the stockholders who will hang onto it? The ones who would spend (locally and otherwise) are middle and lower class. They'd buy (probably Chinese made) goods but also services. The uppers... maybe a new Ferrari or another house. The rest of the money into the stocks, etc. Might get a bit of trickle down from that via startups but who knows.
Indeed. It would appear that item (2) is pretty much a catchall for even possibly just making grumblings not in favor of the government.
Sidenote.. the US military has one of those in the Uniform Code of Military Justice... Article 134 (if I remember right.. it's the last article). Basically.. if we can't punish you for anything else, we'll hit you with this one. Let's be careful out there.
Or go for JATO or RATO bottles on the aircraft. They've been mounting the military has been mounting them on various C-xxx aircraft for some time. Noisy, smoky, and the expended ones need to be dropped after use. The dropping part might clear the neighborhoods built at the end of runways, however.
The military has also been fitting them with more bottles than needed for a launch as a backup or for missed landings and requiring a go-around.
he wrote in a treatise posted to Twitter.
The concept of a treatise posted to Twitter just boggles my mind for some reason. I do hope it was a short summary and not a full treatise.
On second thought.. nevermind. I see he did an image copy/paste. Still boggles the mind a bit as it doesn't enlarge for me and is pretty much illegible with the last parts cut off.
The longer I look at Alexa, the less I see a first-world toy and the more I see a universal tool, that’s meant for everyone, everywhere.
Spot on. Hopefully, Google won't kill it of off or "improve it" to the point of uselessness. They've done this before due to problems, lack of interest, or lack of profitability. Not trying to be pessimistic but Google being Google and their history.
I'm thinking along the same lines. Why does the equipment have to be on the main hospital network except (as the article points out) most hospitals don't have a security department in IT. If all the equipment were on a private, isolated network, it would make an attack damn difficult. I see no reason for most equipment to be public facing.
Sure, they connectivity for the equipment and the computers for patient info. But reality.. none really need to be public internet facing. To move data from doctor's offices to patient files could be done from internet facing equipment via filtering computers (for lack of a better word) and securing the network interfaces... the switches themselves. Won't completely solve the problem but it would sure as hell remove the low hanging fruit that is there now.
I agree, although actually it's safe to drop a politician, because being full of hot air.......
Well, there's the other type that is full of male, bovine excrement. They tend to explode on impact and make a bigger mess than in Congress/Parliament*.
*With few exceptions, all countries have one of these esteemed offices but the occupants all seem to be the same.
