Is it ever right to pay disabled workers pennies per hour?
It is legal to do so in most American states
You mean the part of the team who isn't in China will become too expensive , or ...?My team used to be in India, that became expensive after a while. I assume this will also happen with China to.
ACK. They have their real state bubble, and what not. They're too capitalist, so they will repeat the capitalistic errors. It will happen later there because they started the game later, because they have more government control on the economy (not so much as the government pretends, but more than the USA or EU or so), and because they haven't ruined their education system completely. In some ways they have improved it. The quality of their education system will come down when the average of living lifts up and people become too comfy, but that's not happening tomorrow yet. About the Chinese government control on the economy, I guess they have expanded their economy by producing not only what is consumed in China but in all the world,so the government can subsidize companies to export and keep people employed and consuming internally and paying taxes and so on, but at a certain point they can't expand to any more markets, because they have them all, and the world runs out of resources, so the crash may come later, but it will come.Flight to the bottom. Apple is moving factories to India. China wants to move away from manufacturing to eg financial services and bleeding edge tech, at least that is what I am told. Good luck. And now USA is re-shoring and tech innovation is ludicrously capital intensive (AI, robotics, biotech). It's a mad world.
Usually management doesn't speak tech, so they want some people in office which can communicate with those external teams.You mean the part of the team who isn't in China will become too expensive , or ...?
Are you assuming the management (and interface people) needs to be outside of China ?Usually management doesn't speak tech, so they want some people in office which can communicate with those external teams.
Usually the complete company moves or only part of the engineers.
Maybe. I don't know. But the education system in the west is a different kind of torture. It looks like kids are forced to waste time in places where they learn nothing in exchange for their time and are free to bore down as long as they're not too noisy or antipathic.The Chinese education system is awful. They figured out how to game particular aspects - standardized tests - by forcing their children to sacrifice their youths rote memorizing. Parents take pride in how little sleep their children get. It's sick. All because the government encourages it because it wants to appear a certain way on the global landscape. In the west we will not make this sacrifice. And now the birthrate - a key metric of happiness - is collapsing. Same thing in Korea. The government prioritized it's image over wellbeing of citizens.
I already got new paste and thermal pads, but I also want to pick a maintenance spot where I can have enough time to do everything in one go. As I'll have to redo the CPU and GPU and nvme drive. Until I finish the job properly I cannot use the systemI replaced the thermal paste on my CPU, and the temperature dropped, and it makes less noise and it's performing again!
A reminder to other forum members:
1) Do a deepclean of your fans but be careful with static electricity.
and 2) Thermal paste does not seem to last forever (the thermic properties, at least).
Now working on my 15 year old machine: 96% idle, while having 1 VM running, listening to VLC streaming music, as always lots of tabs open in firefox.
Yeah, I would heartily recommend not to use any system at the very moment you're replacing its thermal paste or thermal pads.I already got new paste and thermal pads, but I also want to pick a maintenance spot where I can have enough time to do everything in one go.

Make sense. Just imagine what MAGA would be if they all understood "if it ain't broken don't fix it". Well, in that particular case one might add "and if it's broken, please don't break it any more."I probably worry too much as it shouldn't take too long. I guess I don't want to damage anything during the process. I rather spend time on other stuff instead of fixing stuff that worked before I touched it.
I want to add a new nvme drive. To do so I have to remove the GPU first, that's how they designed the motherboard. As the GPU runs hot easily I want to replace the thermal paste and pads. When I do so I could also do the CPU.Yeah, I would heartily recommend not to use any system at the very moment you're replacing its thermal paste or thermal pads.
I would even propose that as the definition of human-machine abuse. I'm generally against recognizing rights for machines, but they should probably be granted protection from some atrocities.
