The White House has tapped a former leader of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the Indiana Wildlife Federation as the Asian carp czar to oversee the federal response to keeping the invasive species out of the Great Lakes.

To quote one of the replies at the end of the story: "This would be a great job for a bottom feeder. Obama should do the work himself."

Stimulus money at work...

funny how if pollution kills off a few indigenous species of fish in a lake everyone gets all up in arms, if an invasive species does it nobody even cares. but i'm sure the OP is well aware why this is an issue and not just posting this to try and bash that dirty muslim terrorist obama...

This is actually really important. So I don't mind they are using money for ot

Its important yes, but appointing a czar for it no way in hell is that needed.But I guess if you like your government full of people that needs not answer to anyone then czars are for you.

Unless this guy has some powers outside of what the job is actually going to cover, then what exactly are you worried about? Its not like Czars are new, though Bush and Obama have taken in a very large number of them to past POTUS.

Ugh seriously? Its a waste of money. No not trying to stop the carp thats fine, but putting in a czar to over see this is wrong.Why appoint this guy when the department of fish and game could handle this.

But its ok because its Obama right?

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns

      Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.

      If you have the budget...! Some solo or indies just want to either learn or start their game and aren't in a capacity to pay salaries or to contractors... Get real.
