you can't have it both ways, if rentable apartments and houses aren't going away then neither can landlords. a large portion of people cannot afford to buy, no matter how reasonable the prices, also a portion of people don't WANT to buy as renting allows freedom of movement.

putting people on the street just because they can't afford a house is NOT good. Pathetic scum like you would see the most disadvantaged people in the world punished all because of your moronic jealousy of those with more than you.

fixed price contracts are good when you don't have a good idea of the real costs. however fixed price contracts basically come with a huge premium on the price as Vendors have to build in large margins to take on the risk.

Not really, systems like SAP, Oracle, peoplesoft etc all almost always require some customisation, it is why they are so fucking expensive to implement as they require teams of consultants and devs to implement. If you wanted an actual packaged solution you would not be buying from any of them

We were idiots to pick SAP, So we went with Oracle instead, a company with a fine record for ontime delivery and cost effectiveness.

while possible they are doing dodgy, you can't say "look you fired 10k so you can't hire any H1B's" the ones they fired are almost certainly not the roles they filed with H1B's, they are a huge company and have strong demand in some areas and weak or even cutting back in others. You can be firing and hiring at the same time for completely different purposes.

except Intel have subpar manufacturing, they halted one of their builds as no one wants to use them to manufacture anything when the competitors are so far ahead of them.

They sell, Xbox, accessories, mice, keyboards. Their surface revenue is now around $7B. They also had a multi billion dollar hololens business (which obviously they are now exiting). For those Datacentres they are both the customer AND the developer, the hardware is mostly custom specs and boards similar to how Google and AWS do it, they develop the machines then farm out their production to vendors.

Microsoft IS a hardware company, despite most of their money coming from software they have massive investment in hardware development that dwarfs most purely hardware oriented companies. Hardly suprising considering the hundreds of billions they spend on Datacenters and servers.

It is a morons dream, The only way to get to that is to massively lower the standard of living across the american population. Too many people stuck in the past..

This should help drive jobs offshore and not just the H1B's as those that need to work with them and manage them may as well be in other countries too.

smart move, don't hitch your wagon to a single model/vendor at this point as the field is rapidly evolving.

that works if you have the data to look at. The problem here is that the data is not available to be processed in many cases.

given some of the ancient tech many hospitals use you are probably not far off the mark.

Get a hub or adapters. Seriously this sounds like exactly the same garbage argument people were making for serial ports and parallel ports in the day. The reality is USB A is moribund and the sooner we put a bullet in it and bury it the better. We don't want manufacturers to live in the past simply to support luddites that simply can't give up their ancient tech.
