105 thoughts on “Adventures in Cost Savings through Knowledge Process Outsourcing”
Increasingly, the iconic American planemaker and its subcontractors have relied on temporary workers making as little as $9 an hour to develop and test software, often from countries lacking a deep background in aerospace — notably India.
Well, why hire staff at skilled American Aerospace engineer prices when you can go and spend $9/hour for offshore engineers? So what if they have little commercial flight systems programming and manufacturing experience, they're titled and saving the company money. Why do you hate Capitalism?
Rabin, the former software engineer, recalled one manager saying at an all-hands meeting that Boeing didn’t need senior engineers because its products were mature.

Ah. Thank you. I had seen people reference the App in this context but never went and looked.

Rain gets right-up next to Blue and says, "look honey, I don't wanna go all the way. How about just some wind. That'll be okay , won't it? Imma go rain with someone else."
That cold front pushed a line of towering meso cells fast, hitting hard with big wind and rain for 30-45 minutes. Just 1/2" of rain this time. Temperature has nosedived, from 91F at peak to 71 now. I missed the scattered 60 mph winds, downed trees and limbs and hail, though and I'm good with that.
I just went outside with the dogs and the sky is gin clear and starry overhead.

Tucker is pretty sparse on this issue. Others much worse
[ from Newsweek ]
Tucker Carlson, host of Tucker Carlson Tonight, blasted media personalities who criticized the summit and said the meeting was "kind of remarkable" considering how few times Kim has left North Korea. In February, however, he said "progressives have a long and dishonorable history of supporting the world's most repressive regimes."
He added, "It's hard to find a dictator the left has not supported."
"Portland police have claimed that some of the milkshakes thrown by the antifa activists on Saturday contained quick-dry cement."
[ no links because cesspool. ]
Being a concetean I must note that the Portland PoPo shoulda said "quick-set" cement. Cement sets due to chemical reactions, it is not adobe/mud that dries.
Whatever they called it, they're full of shit. No such compound was added to any milkshakes. This is an okeefening in which PDX police is complicit. https://www.portlandmercury.com/blogtown/2019/02/…

Sadly, my cat had an abscess that now requires oral antibiotics. You can't feed a cat meds, it's in the rule books. I've been putting it on canned food, which he's never had here before. Now I'm afraid he'll never eat kibble again, so will likely starve to death.

I am friends with two brothers who were in Manzanar as children. Their family stayed behind in the valley after they were freed. One brother became a surgeon, the other a business owner. Bet your ass they never forgot.

It is a "point of pride", so to speak, that the nuclear weapons complex is not run as a for-profit enterprise.

So the infrastructure repairs need to extend beyond bridges to the PoPo.
You should write them a rant about how the stupid police don't use the correct terminology.
Anyway, I'm sure that one way or another they will present the concrete milkshakes to the press.

We were somewhere outside the clinic, at the edge of the tarmac, when the cat drugs began to take hold.
Sadly, my cat had an abscess that now requires oral antibiotics. You can't feed a cat meds, it's in the rule books. I've been putting it on canned food, which he's never had here before. Now I'm afraid he'll never eat kibble again, so will likely starve to death.
