San Francisco: A world where people who make your food typically earn £13,850, whilst people who look after your children earn £16,700 and 'low income' is considered to be £87,970 - bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-…
... of course, that's nothing compared to the treatment of the homeless. What's horrendous is that some in the UK think we should emulate San Francisco. Just take a walk through the city for 8 hours, see the scale of the suffering and ... it isn't a model we should follow.
San Francisco hasn't quite got to the stage of renaming itself Stratos and referring to the less fortunate as troglytes ... but that's only a matter of time.

X : Do you have any thoughts on climate change.
Me : La La La
X : You don't agree with it?
Me : Quite the opposite. I worked in the industry in the 1990s when we had a chance.
X : What should we do?
Me : Apologise to your kids. Beg forgiveness from grandkids.
X : Is that it?
Me : What do you want me to say? Cut C02 omission by 50% by 2020, massively reduce consumption, massive scale planting of trees, redirect all society effort and focus on this problem?
X : Would that fix it?
Me : We're beyond fixing it. We're in damage limitation and recovery.
X : That seems a bit drastic. Isn't there a danger of scaremongering.
Me : Oh dear, that is the exact reason why every environmental report I've seen over the last 20 years has been watered down to wishful thinking.
X : So, what's the solution?
Me : More wishful thinking?

X : What's the best way to measure performance?
Me : Outcomes.
X : How about effort spent?
Me : And, how are you planning to measure that?
X : With timesheets.
Me : That can be a dreadful idea ...
... there's certainly value in general broad strokes of estimated time and elapsed time but timesheets can have counter productive consequences such as context switching.
X : What's context switching?
Me: Hmmm. Have you ever asked someone who was really busy and focused on something to spend half a day doing something else?
X : Yes.
Me : That half a day cost a week. That's context switching.

The next major battle for the future of IT which will reshape the tech landscape (winners and losers) will take place around the spoken word - conversational programming - not yet, but soon. Industrialisation is pegged to start happening sometime around 2020 - 2023 ->
... for the majority of those who consider themselves leading technology users, you won't really notice this until 2030-2035 ... for those more traditional industries, it won't impact until 2045-2060. But the battle is starting soon for that future.
Conversational programming exists in the stack above serverless and AI ... it's a higher order system. Messing around with lower order components - virtualisation, containers etc will soon become antiquated. But remember, the last punch card system was still in operation in 2012.

There *will* be a public enquiry even if we have to set it up and fund it ourselves. Here's something to bear in mind. In December 2016 the #BBC revealed private advice given to Ministers, by Sir Ivan Rogers, then our ambassador to the EU. Who leaked it?
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Who told the BBC? (I notice that John Redwood seemed pleased to see Rogers go.) On 3 January 2017, Rogers resigned. Was he forced? What on earth had Rogers done? He had told Ministers, CONFIDENTIALLY, that a UK-EU trade deal might take 10 years to materialise.(Btw, he was right.)
Ministers insisted a deal could be done within 2 years. Well, they certainly got that wrong! Nicholas MacPherson, Civil Servant Mandarin, now a Crossbench Peer, said at the time [Rogers'] departure marked a "wilful" and "total destruction" of EU expertise within Whitehall.

You think these rare occurrences are a coincidence?

If the knee doesn't bend then this will likely be the result for more exposed pedophiles to come.
