I heard of someone doing a data mining project who paid a guy in India like one cent per photo to go through thousands of them tagging things. I mean I know it's efficient or whatever, but goddamn. Union needs to get onto it before we're all out of a job.

I worked on a thing recently where there was the ultra high tedium job needing to be done. The Indian guy did it (and best I've seen that sort of job done) for $4,000. The lowest quote from a local was $47,700. You can't compete with this. Don't try.

There is no set of circumstances that could take place that would result in Trump being elected.

In spite of his poll lead, there is a very remote chance that he could even secure the Republican nomination. His support is highest among the republican contenders but is nowhere close to a majority and when the field starts getting picked off and people drop out, the "not-trump" votes will coalesce around one candidate whose votes will significantly exceed Trump's.

Even if it doesn't, the Republican party is already talking about political dealings they can put into place at the time of the convention to ensure that, even with the remote possibility that he attends the convention with a majority of votes, he can still be denied the nomination.

If you go back through history there's lots of popular candidates that drop once time to actually nominate comes around. I think Giuliani had higher levels than Trump has now a year out from nomination, but by the time it came around reality sets it.

Trump is good because his party can't get elected with the likes of him speaking for them and Aus won't end up in more wars that we cant afford and dont care about. Trusting that Clinton won't go full warrior on us.

My old employer was doing this for a lot of software dev stuff. Rather than having contractors come in they would just outsource on e-lance for a fraction of the cost and if a guy wasnt working out or was doing a bad job then they just binned him and got someone else immediately.

it basically turned the entire development team into project managers who delegated work to an invisible workforce. it sorta sucked tbh. totally killed the awesome collaborative vibe we had in the team.

Apparently now that company is gutting basically every department except for the heads and outsourcing everything that is 'work' and when something needs to be 'created' its done by one of the skeleton staff left behind.

I knew Trump was leading in the polls but it's actually horrifying to see by just how much:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationwide_opinion_polling_for_the_Republican_Party_2016_presidential_primaries

All the other Republican candidates are getting piddling little numbers like 3% or 4%. Trump has been consistently polling around 30% since the middle of the year.

Maybe not retraining per se, I'm sure the buttons are right next to each other and it could've been an accident.

Good luck with that.

Basically we need Sanders and Corbyn to be elected, and hope they can spend at least a first term of 4/5 years unfucking the Anglosphere from decades of horrific, and warmongering, neocon shitlords. Then maybe the ALP left will finally catch up and realise they shouldn't be slapped around by the right, and effect change from within lol no they won't, vote green.

It wouldn't surprise me if he got the Republican nomination at this stage. Sounds like people are suspicious of the mainstream candidates after decades of the establishment republicans loving them over in the name of big business but are too conservative, uneducated or afraid of breaking the family voting tradition to make the switch to the dems.

He'd have to be an outside chance at best of becoming president, but at the same time it seems risky to bet against the stupidity of Americans. At any rate, he'd be a laugh for a few weeks until we all remember that he controls the worlds largest nuclear arsenal.

The one positive thing about the idea of trump getting nominate is the likelihood of voting is far more dependant on your fear/hatred of the other party's candidate than belief in your own party's. Trump will scare a lot of people into turning up and voting democrat.

The Anglosphere is a collection of successor states to one of the largest and most warlike empires in Human history. We've never not been horrific, warmongering shitlords regardless of the group in power.

A house in north Queensland has been graffitied with anti-Islamic slurs and set alight by vandals apparently angered by an innocuous Arabic welcome sign.

Slogans including "f*** Allah" and "is this where you hide the terrorists?" were scrawled throughout a Townsville home, with sections of the carpet set alight in an attempt to burn the house down.
