You mean the Non Disclosure Agreements that they signed as a condition of employment?

a reply to: Ohanka

They can find themselves new jobs then, can't they?

Uh huh. Just like everyone else. I hear there's gonna be a bunch of temporary construction jobs building walls, roads, tunnels and a pile of other stuff. Federally funded, of course.

“They haven’t been directed by us to do anything,” he told reporters at the daily briefing.


“From what I understand, is that they’ve been told within their agencies to adhere to their own policies. But that directive did not come from here,” he said.

There, you have it. Either believe the government or the press. Whatever fit´s your prejudice.

No. 'Cuz soon, about the ONLY jobs for humans will be government funded ones. The new factories that Trump's demanding will be automated.

…A report put out in February 2016 by Citibank in partnership with the University of Oxford predicted that 47% of US jobs are at risk of automation. In the UK, 35% are. In China, it's a whopping 77% — while across the OECD it's an average of 57%.

…And three of the world's 10 largest employers are now replacing their workers with robots.

…Automation will, "in turn will accelerate the already widening economic inequality around the world," Hawking wrote. "The internet and the platforms that it makes possible allow very small groups of individuals to make enormous profits while employing very few people. This is inevitable, it is progress, but it is also socially destructive."

Let me change the wording a bit

Yeah but think about the poor US 'scientists'! Where US actually means government and scientist means data-doctor.

No... Science is not a Liberal conspiracy. People like you are the problem... not the solution.

a reply to: Ohanka

Sure they can. I'm sure countries like Japan, China, and India would love to hire some US scientists. How would that look for Trump if the US started falling behind because all our top scientists moved to other countries?

You want to edit Stephen Hawking too!?!!!

Oh the hubris. Or are you saying that he too is a political shill?

You assume...

In fact Trump may be in violation of several Federal laws... Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act under which mandatory communications with Congress and Inspector Generals are protected.

a reply to: Sillyolme

These are anonymous twitter accounts that are being set up. ANYONE can set one up and CLAIM they work for XYZ agency, then make any claim they want.

Any of us can do this, maybe we should all set up anonymous accounts and state we are scientists and spew whatever information we like....hmmm.

You call a wall "infrastructure"? It's a huge waste of taxpayers money. As for the rest; roads, tunnels, and "piles of other stuff"... that remains to be seen. Haven't heard any plans from The D.

I quoted what you wrote, there was infrastructure such as road, tunnels and piles of other stuff that will benefit the nation in the list. I am not in favor of or against the wall, I do not know enough about it at this time.

Oh the hubris. Or are you saying that he too is a political shill?

:rolls eyes:

I doubt Mr Hawking does much more than dribble and wee his depends,yes he's a shill they program and trot out when needed heres a good example.(for a laugh)

Jeez. I said "I hear there's gonna be a bunch of temporary construction jobs building walls, roads, tunnels and a pile of other stuff," here. Then D8Tee called it "infrastructure" here - You wrote "You call a wall "infrastructure"? It's a huge waste of taxpayers money," here, not me.

My focus was on automation, the emerging new economy and the future of work. For a quick reality check:

The CEO of United Technologies just let slip an unintended consequence of the Trump-Carrier jobs deal

…….Yes, low-skilled jobs are being lost to other countries, but they're also being lost to technology.

Everyone from liberal, Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman to Republican Sen. Ben Sasse has noted that technological developments are a bigger threat to American workers than trade. Viktor Shvets, a strategist at Macquarie, has called it the "third industrial revolution."
