I got it, I was making a joke about your script name showing as a clickable link to a website of a Polish property maintenance company

Your Polish real estate maintenance script? πŸ˜†

Not strictly technical, although organizational science might be seen as a technical field on it's own.

Regularly rotating people between teams is desirable.

Many companies just assign you in a team and that's where you're stuck forever unti you quit. In slightly better places they will try to find a "perfect match" for you.

What I'm saying is that moving people around is even better:
You spread institutional knowledge around.
You keep everyone engaged. Typically on a new job you learn for the first few months, then you have a peak of productivity when you have all the new ideas. After some 2 years you either reach a plateau or complacency.

Understanding that other protocols are possible is important. Sure, reality doesn't fit neatly into the OSI model, but it gives you a conceptual idea of everything that goes into a networking stack.

Healthcare is the only thing Cuba used to do well. How did they fuck it up so much?

Edit: Read the article. It's an epidemic of a new disease (for Cuba). Any healthcare system would be overwhelmed. And the article is seriously overdramatic. I'm not making light of real people who are actually dying, but the article tone is jarringly melodramatic.

How does one become a welder? I'm already mind-fucked by IT, it's time to change careers

I'd aim for countries that have few American immigrants, like Eastern Europe, South America, anywhere but Thailand and Japan in Asia... Of course avoid those actively hostile to Americans.

Alternatively somewhere English-speaking so you'd barely stand out - Canada, UK, Australia

Actually most countries in the world have little American immigration. Avoid Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Thailand, Japan, most small Caribbean countries (I guess). The stereotypical "expat" places.

It's like any kind of immigration. A small number is always welcome, but once many immigrants of the same origin come you get social cohesion issues.

In person interaction is infinitely superior to anything done online. "Meeting" people online just doesn't hit the same, even with video calls.

Reducing the number of false accusations. Prevents situations like someone claiming "Xyz stole my car 30 years ago, arrest them!".

Lack of evidence. It's almost impossible to definitively prove something that happened long ago to the level of reasonable doubt required by courts.

Relevance. Theft from 30 years ago has no bearing on anyone's life any more. For same reason the statute of limitations usually doesn't exist for murder. Murder from 30 years ago still impacts people today.

Yes you're right. But it was connected with the December date. It was the first youtube video to achieve 1 billion views on or around Dec 12, when the apocalypse was prophesied.

The Mayan one in 2012 was pretty good, I really enjoyed it. It ended with the masterpiece that is Gangnam Style.
