Obviously we need programmers to work in interactive debuggers at all times, and, when the environment detects a bug, it gives the developer an electric shock. The shock would be mild at first, but would increase in severity for each subsequent bug. After twenty bugs have been detected in a single day, the program could automatically terminate the employee and outsource the project to an offshore resource.
I'm sure this approach would increase both software quality and employee morale, just as it did at Milgrim Codeworks...
Sure Greece lied to get into the EU and tax evasion is the national pasttime. But the heart of Greece's problem is that faced with an economic crisis, they refused to cut outlays to match tax receipts. Not once did Greece balance their budget since joining the Eurozone. For all the talk of austerity, Greece never practiced real austerity, i.e., cutting budget outlays until they matched receipts. They just pretended to temporarily slow the rate at which they were going broke. That is because the welfare state had become more sacred to them than the underlying economy required to support it, and because they figured the EU (which is to say the Germans) would end up bailing them out. Which is, in fact, what basically happened with much pain and suffering along the way.
Contrast that with the Baltic states, most of whom bit the bullet and balanced their budgets, and after brief downturns their economies were growing again.
...are such economic paradises right now. And they were just practicing everyday garden-variety socialism, not this pie-in-the-sky land-of-the-lotus-eaters guaranteed minimum wage fantasy.
Now cue the "that's not true socialism/communism" loser brigade to explain how ever real-world example is somehow flawed and inferior to the pristine imaginary socialist paradise that exists nowhere but in their heads.
And as long as I'm offending all the true believes, let's throw another log on their rage fire: I read a book once about a world where everyone stopped working. It was called Atlas Shrugged...
Russia’s biggest bank uses The Podesta Group as its lobbyist in Washington, D.C. Though hardly a household name, this firm is well known inside the Beltway, not least because its CEO is Tony Podesta, one of the best-connected Democratic machers in the country. He founded the firm in 1998 with his brother John, formerly chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, then counselor to President Barack Obama, Mr. Podesta is the very definition of a Democratic insider. Outsiders engage the Podestas and their well-connected lobbying firm to improve their image and get access to Democratic bigwigs.
Which is exactly what Sberbank, Russia’s biggest financial institution, did this spring. As reported at the end of March, the Podesta Group registered with the U.S. Government as a lobbyist for Sberbank, as required by law, naming three Podesta Group staffers: Tony Podesta plus Stephen Rademaker and David Adams, the last two former assistant secretaries of state. It should be noted that Tony Podesta is a big-money bundler for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign while his brother John is the chairman of that campaign, the chief architect of her plans to take the White House this November.
Sberbank (Savings Bank in Russian) engaged the Podesta Group to help its public image—leading Moscow financial institutions not exactly being known for their propriety and wholesomeness—and specifically to help lift some of the pain of sanctions placed on Russia in the aftermath of the Kremlin’s aggression against Ukraine, which has caused real pain to the country’s hard-hit financial sector.
It’s hardly surprising that Sberbank sought the help of Democratic insiders like the Podesta Group to aid them in this difficult hour, since they clearly understand how American politics work. The question is why the Podesta Group took Sberbank’s money. That financial institution isn’t exactly hiding in the shadows—it’s the biggest bank in Russia, and its reputation leaves a lot to be desired. Nobody acquainted with Russian finance was surprised that Sberbank wound up in the Panama Papers.
Though Sberbank has its origins in the nineteenth century, it was functionally reborn after the Soviet collapse, and it the 1990s it grew to be the dominant bank in the country, today controlling nearly 30 percent of Russia’s aggregate banking assets and employing a quarter-million people. The majority stockholder in Sberbank is Russia’s Central Bank. In other words, Sberbank is functionally an arm of the Kremlin, although it’s ostensibly a private institution.
And yes, he's Hillary Clinton's campaign manager. no conflict of interest there...
That would be the Panama Papers, with more than 2.6 terrabytes of data on global financial asset hiding released, including documents implicating Putin and his cronies.

"Doctors in Cuba’s public health system are pressured to induce abortions for potentially problematic pregnancies in order to artificially lower the infant mortality rate. Stusser estimated that if the deaths of living fetuses older than 21 weeks had been reported, Cuba’s infant mortality rate would be at least 50 percent higher."
And the conditions in Cuban hospitals are horrible.

High taxes, business-strangling regulations, insane housing prices driven by land-use laws that strangle supply, and the future is further imperiled by unsustainable public pension debt and rising labor costs due to the minimum wage hike.
So I'm sure Denver is benefiting from the exodus of high tech jobs, just like Austin, Durham, DFW, etc.

I guess now is also a good time to note that coming up is Victims of Communism Day is just around the corner on May 1st. You know, the day when we honor the memories of the 100 million people killed by communist governments.

This is not exaggeration. John Podesta is literally (not figuratively) a registered lobbyist for Vladamir Putin's bank, as shown by the recently released Panama Papers:

About a year ago, Twitter was trading in the 50s. So Jack Dorsey has managed to destroy more than half the value of the company.
What do you expect from the genius who hired Sarkeesian to protect free speech, which is like hiring Ted Bundy to run a battered women’s shelter
Hey, remind me: Which political party has ruled Detroit as a essentially a one party state the last 50 years?
Oh yeah, that one.
The one pushing the minimum wage hike.
The one pushing for higher welfare payments and eliminating work requirements.
If the policies of the Democratic Party worked, Detroit should already be one of the best places to live in America.
How did that work out?
...when all their money is going to high salaries and benefits for union employees?

Judging from the suspension of the account of journalist Robert Stacy McCain, disagreeing with Anita Sarkeesian seems a far more serious offense to Twitter's "Trust and Safety Council" than openly supporting Islamic terrorists.
They also refuse to restore his account or even detail why it was suspended.
Meanwhile, more and more unstable third world dictatorships and Islamic theocracies are either on the path to developing or already having nuclear weapons.
