Thoughts about outsourcing


Outsourcing the work doesn’t mean that the work doesn’t exist. It means that the work is transferred to other company. The reason for the outsourcing is sometimes that some company wants an actor, what knows something better than themselves. And that causes sometimes problems at the workplace, because those jobs, what has been just given to micro support are now behind some ticket.



There was a time when the trend was that micro support was outsourced to some other companies because the need to get “nerds out of the house" was what every company in the world should do. The reason for outsourcing was that the company could now transfer those people to other companies and that’s why they would get more effectiveness to their business, what is true if offender of the service works legally and follows the standards.



They forgot, that every company will send a bill for their services. The outsourcing doesn’t mean that services of that kind of companies are free. They always send a bill to their clients. And those contracts are made like all other contracts in the business environment. If those contracts have a time limit, they might become a very expensive to clients, because the offer of the service would not quit service before the deadline. They think that those services are part of their revenue generation model, and that’s why there will become bills until the contract will come to a deadline.



And if the customer doesn’t know that, will the service become quite expensive. The problem of those outsourced services is that those companies bring them own experts to the workplace, and even if there will be some problems with those workers, the customer must realize, that those workers are working for another company.  If that company, what replaced company’s own workers works in ICT-sector like micro support, the case looks like this: the customer might give to those people keys to their bank-account, e-mails, and other stuff what is in normal cases confidential


That's why the company what works for that sector should be carefully chosen. If that kind of actor plays the unfair game, the results for the company might be devastating. Should I keep micro support as the company’s own business or should it be outsourced is a question, what sometimes is shown in every company around the world. If outsourcing partner is a strong actor, the result could be a success for the company. But good actors are expensive, and in this kind of question we must say, that is somebody offers cheap service, they might want to steal information or they professional skills are disappointing.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
