  1. >be working on a profit center rather than a cost center.

    I automate jobs. But my company sells products. Is that profit?

    It seems like a cost, but we eliminate head count.

    Hmm saying it out loud. We make profit, just not revenue.

  2. Does this apply to hitting trees/poles? That's a lot of extra force you need to stop.
  3. Disagree. Microsoft sells these as "unskilled", but at the end of the day, you still need skill but also perseverance.

    At least SQL is old enough to get plenty of relevant search results. You can be a copy-paste DJ if you really can't figure it out.

  4. After getting one of these short domains/urls and it not working on my browser, I'll be a late adopter. I think I spent like $30/yr on whatever I bought too.
  5. >Cost cutting measures to entire company functions

    Isn't that obviously what op is asking?

    Me and 18k people were let go in 2018. I was contract, so I knew what was going to happen.

    I was hired by a different company who was confident in their ability to not fire contractors during recessions. Before 2020 they let go of the contractors.

    I wasn't concerned because I had a ton of money + skills. But I'm pretty sure op is going to be dealing with a similar situation to me.

  6. I hope to have one of these articles about FreeCAD one day. Maybe the stakes are lower for movies than engineering and that's why it hasn't happened yet.
  7. What's the android security flaw? As far as I've read pegasus has 0 click exploits on iOS that has successfully infiltrated hundreds of people. I couldn't find documented android examples.

    I've read android has some malware that you need to click "allow from web" and manually install.

    I have some sensitive stuff on my phone so security is my number 1 reason for getting an Android.

  8. I don't really need another reason to doubt democracy.... Hahahaha

    Just keep your head down, the crowd is often wrong.

  9. Is technical limited to the publically available numbers?

    Or reading a vision statement, watching commercials, etc.... Because that is getting less technical and more feely.

    With some exception (Tesla), technical analysis has major limitations. I don't really have time to figure out if a CEO has new back pain and started taking opioids.

    There's a reason index funds are so popular. You hold a belief that growth will continue. You basically need that belief anyway when investing in individual companies.
