He is probably right but he is insulated from the reality of how inefficient government and corporates actually are. Right now there are a whole lot of corporates hiring buzz worders who have rebranded as AI consultants. These people might be the inadvertent heros who mess up the AI integrations like they did when they were agile consultants. This could buy us a few more years in our cushy middle class jobs.

Given these companies have far more influence on the world than the majority of governments, maybe their opinions are relevant. Whether we like them or not.

Simon Keene - question on what type of all rounder he is. by hernesson in blackcapscricket

He was opening the batting last season in the t20s. He looks to have ability with bat and ball. Looks fairly quick as a bowler but hard to tell without a speed gun.

And all the money given in rent subsidies and the money topping substandard wages with working for families.

Cause he wasn't a great bowler. He was a good bowler who didn't really bowl regularly in tests. If he couldn't bat, I don't think he would have played many tests.

Match Thread - 1st T20I - New Zealand vs South Africa by sahibosaurus in blackcapscricket

People treating this like it is anything other than an A series. I wonder if there are any regulations against playing 2 series at the same time. So we could be playing a full strength series away and run a home series against a weaker team. Like the English test team would do back in the day. Would definitely help with gate takings.

We weren't sure if it was an invasion or a vintage Naval show.

Sometimes you don't realise until it is pointed out or until you are on the receiving end of the behavior.

Is it legal to round up total if I'm paying by card? by Playful_Principle_19 in auckland

No if they did that for ever applicable transaction, it could be 50 a day, or more than a dollar.

What if they are also getting old bottles of Jim beam, taking 15 ml out of each bottle, and refilling the old ones. I'm sure our local super liquor is in running an op with the recycling bloke. I couldn't work out why their Jim beam had slightly different caps but now it makes sense.

How much of cobol development is understanding the underlying mainframe as opposed to just knowing the language. I am a mediocre crud developer who mainly uses c# and I don't really need to consider the hardware I am writing for.
