Y lo peor es que, confrontado con los hechos, algo de razón tenían.Efectivamente, en Hispanistán "el salario es mucho más una cuestión de política y enchufes que de méritos".

Arthur, 94, Market Basket bagger, gets $7,000 giftCustomers express their support after he loses all his working hours
STRATHAM — Arthur St. John is still out of work, but the 94-year-old Stratham Market Basket bagger showed up at the store Friday to collect a check that he never expected.The part-timer who's been working at the store for 22 years received a $7,166 check. It was money raised by generous donors who contributed to an online fundraiser on the crowd funding site GoFundMe.com.St. John is one of thousands of part-time workers whose hours were slashed as protests continue over the firing of CEO Arthur T. Demoulas.A resident of Exeter, St. John has been a dedicated employee who misses working his three days a week.After hearing about his hours being cut, Bonnie Gervais and her teenage son, Christian, of Medway, Mass., created the online fundraiser last week to help him out, but never expected it would raise thousands. Gervais is a part-time worker at a Marker Basket in Massachusetts and never met St. John until Friday when she, her husband, and their son showed up with the bank check.“Arthur cried two or three times. He was very appreciative,” said assistant store director Dean Clevesy.The money will help St. John pay his bills. He said he brings home $125 from his Market Basket job.While he was thankful for the financial support, St. John told Clevesy that all he really wants is to return to work.“Arthur told me he wants to work another 10 years,” he said.Many of those who donated to St. John's fund were customers who posted comments about their own personal experiences shopping at the Stratham Market Basket and the service he provided while bagging their groceries.“I've been shopping at the Stratham store just a few years longer than you've been working there and I've always enjoyed seeing you and appreciate your courtesy. Hope this all gets resolved soon and you get back to enjoying what you love. Thank you, Mr. St. John,” one customer wrote.Another customer posted: “It is always a joy to see Arthur at the end of the conveyor belt. He is always so sweet to my little son.”
Solo un mensaje para que clarificar lo que diferencia al "empleo" del "trabajo, si no se ha evocado antes en este hilo. El trabajo se extiende mas allá del salario mientras el "empleo" es aquello que proporciona el salario en el sistema capitalista. A mi parecer el hilo versa mas bien sobre el "empleo" asalariado o mas bien su colapso. Trabajo siempre habrá de una manera u otra.
If you've seen a sci-fi flick with autonomous robots in the last 40 years, you may be wary of giving robots any semblance of control.But new research coming out of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) suggests that letting robots have control over human tasks in manufacturing is not just more efficient—it's actually preferred by workers.While manufacturers have long recognized the benefits of automation in streamlining processes and freeing humans from tedious tasks, such as aisle-running, there's always a concern that workers may feel devalued or even replaceable."In our research we were seeking to find that sweet spot for ensuring that the human workforce is both satisfied and productive," says project lead Matthew Gombolay, a PhD student at CSAIL. "We discovered that the answer is to actually give machines more autonomy, if it helps people to work together more fluently with robot teammates."Specifically, in the study, groups of two humans and one robot worked together in one of three conditions: manual (all tasks allocated by a human); fully autonomous (all tasks allocated by the robot); and semi-autonomous (one human allocates tasks to self, and a robot allocates tasks to other human).The fully-autonomous condition proved to be not only the most effective for the task, but also the method preferred by human workers. The workers were more likely to say that the robots "better understood them" and "improved the efficiency of the team."
Gombolay emphasizes that giving robots control doesn't mean a team of cyborgs will be running the show. It means the tasks are delegated, scheduled, and coordinated via a human-generated algorithm."Instead of coming up with a plan by hand, it's about developing tools to help create plans automatically," he said.The algorithm can also conduct on-the-fly replanning, instantly developing an alternate "schedule" for a task if, say, a new part arrives or a machine malfunctions—a clear advantage over its human counterparts, who generally require time to call an audible.The research—developed by Gombolay, MIT undergraduates Reymundo Gutierrez and Giancarlo Sturla, and assistant professor Julie Shah in the Interactive Robotics Group at CSAIL— is part of a long line of recent advances that allow robots to interact in less predictable environments, and to therefore collaborate directly with human workers in factory settings.Gombolay says that, in the future, similar algorithms could be applied to human-human collaboration (like scheduling hospital resources), search-and-rescue drones, and even one-on-one, human-robot collaboration in which the robot could help someone with discrete building and construction tasks.

No creéis que la ausencia de trabajo es debida no a la sustitución de trabajadores por máquinas, sino por todo lo contrario, falta de revoluciones tecnológicas. Digamos que desde la industrialización y sobretodo en el siglo XX gracias a la electrificación de los países , la construcción de viviendas dignas , la revolución de la automoción y la industria del consumo han supuesto un gran progreso para la humanidad, necesitando siempre una gran cantidad de mano de obra para llevar a cabo estos progresos. En cambio hoy en día vivimos como un estancamiento , donde lo que más progresa es la eficiencia en los trabajos gracias a la evolución de la tecnología, pero no revolución. Por eso creo que los países ricos o más avanzados tienen muy poco margen para crecer , no existe ningún motivo para hacerlo. Y esto explica porqué los países pobres crecen tan rápido, tienen mucho margen aún para adoptar todas estas revoluciones.Si a esto le unimos el fin de las materias primas baratas tenemos el caldo de cultivo para sembrar una larga etapa de estancamiento o bajo nivel de crecimiento.
Los empleados aceptan mejor sus órdenesLos trabajadores prefieren antes a un robot que a un jefe de carne y hueso[...]Lejos de sentirse un trabajador devaluado o incluso reemplazable, la condición totalmente autónoma resulto no solamente ser más eficaz, sino que también fue el método preferido por los trabajadores de carne y hueso. Los empleados solían repetir que los robots “eran a los que mejor entendían” y que “mejoraban la eficiencia del equipo”.[...]http://bit.ly/1nz4BlU
