Not just progresses, mind, but also continue to propagate. We're not nearly done implementing current good practice and software, never mind near future advances. There's a decently sized chunk of our workforce that's hanging on as much due to admin et al lollygagging about upgrading and updating as anything.

I've helped with navigating paper records before, recently-ish, and it's a bloody farce compared to what something digital can do. When a conversion processes is done and tasks that once took hours plural take sub-10 minutes, unless your product output multiplies by a staggering amount (and it pretty much never will, due to insufficient demand if nothing else), well... you don't need as many people anymore, heh.

I'm not sure why Mathematics gets lumped in with STEM.
'Cos otherwise it'd just be STE? ;)

It's been made clear several times over the course of history that humans do not understand how acronyms work.

Meanwhile, USCIS is trying to get rid of H-1Bs and foreign students, sounds like: Forbes Link
interesting how Republicans xenophobia has over taken their neoliberalness.

If you call them abbreviations instead of acronyms, it sits a lot better.

"Microsoft" called me again. Third time in a week. This dude actually tried to argue that he wasn't a scam. Normally I'd mess with them a bit, but I'm feeling a bit under the weather and am grumpy.

Rodriguez was going for a walk in his neighborhood when he encountered the assailant. Once he was on the ground, a group of men started kicking him, the witness said. The female attacker told Rodriguez, a U.S. resident who is from Mexico, to "go back, go back" and cursed at him, according to the witness. “She was yelling at him, ‘Go back to your country,’ or ‘Go back to Mexico,’” Borjas told the Los Angeles Times. “It was racist.”

A motive for the attack was not immediately clear, investigators said.

Well the lady that attacked him was a black lady. Black people can’t be racist.

Goddammit, head is really not working today.

Still, Ameripol is pretty close to WTF thread most of the time, and Microsoft is pretty much a sovereign state anyways so eh. Close enough.
