Normally most businesses are too lazy to go that far. If you abuse the system too much you will probably get caught. However minor tweaks. Such as closing the ticket then follow up, and complete the job. You probably will not get noticed.
Well I would quit about all this doom and gloom. Trump is set to be a horrible administration, and I am still POed at all those people who got hooked on Clinton's Emails (After he look to hire someone who leaked information to a journalist he was sleeping with)
But I besides his big mouth I doubt he is going to use the American Alert system as his personal toy. He has so many more ways to address people then abusing the alert system.
I am sure for all of you who work in an organization with some sort of performance monitoring method can tell. It is rather easy to hack the system. Where people are paying more attention to beating the numbers then actually trying to achieve the goals these metrics are meant to measure. Lines of code: short lines, with blank comments and a lot of extra line breaks. Time to close ticket: Get a ticket do the most basic fix and close it without verification. Time to respond to a call. Pick up the phone then hang up.
Metrics can be hacked so people are working on the metrics. Causing the system to break down.
It isn't about not having internet connection but expensive internet connection. Cell Data is still wicked expensive, and access to free or cheap Wi-Fi is easy to find, but isn't always available.
The point on a mobile device is rather easy to see. If you are at home you will have a network connection. While if you are traveling you may not have one. And if it on a PC it is way to easy to pirate the movie. If there is wide pirating of netflix movies then studios will drop netflix like a brick and they will not have any good content.
There had been many bad arguments for most things, with saying illegal item is safer than legal item so illegal item should be legal.
Too much of anything is bad for you. How much is too much varies on what it is. Is the Reward for smoking pop, worth the risk of its side effects should be the real debate. Not people saying it is going to kill you or it is perfectly safe.
Uber and Air B&B really had turned into something different than their initial business. These were for people who wanted to do some Parttime work. Rent out their home when they are away. Drive additional people when commuting to work. The the Recession hit, and this became more of a source of income, vs just getting extra spending changes. It didn't help with these companies changing their buisness structure to compete against Hotels and Taxis.
Working for any big organization if you get in the wrong unit, with the wrong set of managers you job is hell. If you get in the right spot, your job may be great, until that manager moves to a different unit.
Most of the this is simple crap is done by fat shamers who want to feel like they are a better person due to the lack of excess fat. I have lost 50lbs and kept it off for over 3 years myself but it is hard, very hard to do. It was akin to getting my masters degree while working full time hard. If you eat less you feel more hungry then when you get some food you will over eat. When you start to exercise you get sore and hungry making you want to just sit and eat. If you substitute your diet you are often not getting the nutrients you need causing you to feel out of sorts. It isn't will power to not eat from the candy bowl, but to fight your most primal instinct for a long period. It takes a lot of hard work planning to do it. Any small factor could derail you at any time catching an illness, changing jobs, birth or death in the family. Diet science has been pathetic because so much of us fall on the simple plan. With Diet food companies sell their plastic food as diet, where they are designed to fit this simple plan and cause us to fail.
Linux in terms of UI features is far mor gearded towards developments. Windows 10 just gave us a Hail Mary pass of some low hanging fruit and tell us it is just as good for development. It really isnt.
Well dispite common belief most politicians do try to keep their promises for their agenda. However complications come up. Opposing political parties who are also in power. Changes in the conditions makes such changes impractical. Or just having it on so low priority that it never is gotten too. Once you get into power those armchair quarterbacking simple answers quickly become far more complicated. Those policies may work for 51% of the population however it may significantly hinder the other 49%. When you run the country you have a lot of conflicting interests to maintain. Too bad see this fact as being dishonest or wishwashy, because not understanding such issues cause people to vote for some jackass who can make broad promises.
It isn't about being right but timing. Listen I hate the idea of a Trump presidency and I was very worried seeing all these anti-Hillary posts on Slashdot during the election. But if you change the current system now a bunch of bad mojo will happen. Both sides are so polarized that a change in the current rules could spark violence. Right now the biggest fear about Trump is the fact he is a habitual lier so we have no idea on what he will do. So the people who support republicans will place their fondest hopes in him, while those who support democratcs will place their biggest fears in him.
The real problem is these new jobs require more and more for the people to be smart, creative and ambitious. Those jobs where you clock in do the same thing everyday and punch out will be gone. Remember about 50% of the population has below average intelligence there is a good part of the workforce who just doesn't have what it takes in today's economy.
In short that will happen. This double price if made in America is based if they make the phones in America the same way they do in China.
The low skill manufacturing job is going to go out the window, no matter how much the low skill laborers complain and have political pressure. Because It comes down to simple business. Hire 20 people at 100k a year and invest 50 million in automation that can be depreciated over 20 years. vs hiring 100 people to work the line at 50k for 20 years.
It is more economical to pay more of the skilled labor with automation vs. Lower waged workers to do the grunt work.
The problem isn't the stance of "build a wall" to prevent illegal immigration. It is the idea to build a wall because they want to keep out groups of people, because they are not the same as they are.
With those stories of mob violence. There are also stories about minorities being threatened, bullied and abused. Because the Hate speech now got authority behind it, allowing people with the hidden feeling that they are emboldened to act on them.
Now during this election season there was talk about "Second Amendment supporters" preventing a Clinton agenda. And if Trump lost he will rally against a Rigged election. Now if a few votes had changed to the other side... And the other people were causing the problems...
Both sides are in the wrong here. Twitter cannot stop people doing physical harm, but they can stop hate groups from inciting it.
There is being offended then there is being threatened. It is the difference of saying "Group X of people are getting a disproportional amount of assistance." vs. "Group X should be shot" Now members of Group X may be offended from the first statement because they feel that they may be placed in harder circumstances and people don't seem to care about that. vs. Members of Group X being afraid of the people who state the second statement. Where they are fearful of unjust action taken against them.
This is a two way slippery slope. Too little regulations could cause offensive to become a call to action of a harmful activity. While too much regulation will limit the idea of free expression of ideas. As Group X may not like your idea while it may have to be a suitable idea.
You have the right to bear arms. But not the right to shoot people, just because you have a gun. The same thing with free speech. Bullying isn't protected by free speech, as it is a form of attack
The problem is the news is written in a way for us to react to it. (Both Conservative leaning and liberal leaning). Instead of news spitting out catchy headlines, I would like more time dedicated to in depth look at what is going on and the details behind it.
When choosing a language for professional development there are a lot of factors some technical and some not so much. 1. Do we have a sustainable staff to maintain the project, even if a few developers leave. Java has been taught in College for nearly 20 years now, often as the primary language. This means college grads will at least know some Java. This means if you lose a developer chances are you can find a new one who will be able to understand the language. While I hear the argument that any developer worth his or her salt can pick up a new language in no time, which is mostly true. However if you putting in the job requirements skills in something more obscure some developers may not take the job, not because they are unwilling or unable to learn the language, but fear the job interview is going to hound them on details of a language they are unfamiliar with.
2. Support. Java has a major company supporting it, as well as a decent sized community to help keep it going. So chances are if you need a module to do something crazy or unique there may be something already pre built vs. having to build it yourself wasting a lot of effort to get some minor part of the program to function.
3. IDE Support. Sure real developers can program use edi, vi, edlin... however why make their lives difficult where you can have a fancy IDE to make sure they are not compiling invalid code.
4. Future planning. Are you planning to just be stuck on windows, or do you want to support multiple platforms?
5. Getting past the CEO. The CEO may not have heard of Node.JS or even Python and Ruby... But C++ and Java they have heard of.
6. Enterprise features. While I cringe when ever I hear the word "Enterprise" in software. As the Enterprise development model is akin to career death. Being able to some of the Enterprise features to shut-up your boss. is a big thing. And some of them that are in J2EE are better than what some other languages offer.
7. Features to ease development. A good set of defaults and settings for your job is important.
8. Performance. Will it do the job that you want fast enough?
I can keep going on, but there are a lot of factors in choosing a language. Sometime C/C++ and sometimes Java. Sometimes you can go with a newer language. But there are so many factors and saying Java isn't a contender is just false. It is still strong and still has a lot of development and new development. Much of it you don't see because most applications are web-based and all you are seeing the HTML output and not the internals.
I am sure colleges don't have full administrative control over the students on what they do. You can say you are a Dry campus, but there will still be a lot of drinking. You can tell students to use their internet responsibility... But they will not.
So lets be honest with ourselves. for every Legitimate use of turrents they are 100 illegitimate uses and for that Legitimate use there are a numerous workarounds.
So you block the feature. you don't have to punish kids, you don't have to deal with take down notices at all.
Gone are the days like when I was in college where every student had a wide open static IP address to the internet.
Other than downloading Linux Distributions... Most other Legitimate turrents don't have enough members to be as effecient as just downloading it directly.
"what sort of monster uses Bittorrent on shared Wifi?!" People who do not know or care about bandwidth limitations and sharing with others.
Aka. Late teens who are more interesting in getting their stuff faster without little regards to others.
I would like to point out how many Anti-Hillary posts were on Slashdot leading to the election. So either a lot of you were thinking it was just cool to sound anti-establishment, or many of you got caught in the web of lies and hate.
Well one thing we learned about the election. We were seeing all the polls showing Clinton had a near certain victory. And we assumed trump was lying when he said that his polls are showing something different. Unfortunately that raises the question how good are the sources to figure out truthfulness.
Now Trump could had been lying about his sources, and gotten lucky. However the fact that he was saying that he was winning and the media is lying about that and actually won. Does bring up questions, on the fact checkers and truthfulness.
Much like Obama in 2008. Where he became president with very little political experience granted Trump has less. But when Obama became president people projected their beliefs to him without any facts to show if he would or wouldn't support such actions.
A portion of the Tea Party had voted for Obama, mostly due to Bush starting the bailout only to have Obama continue that broke their trust. Because they figured that he would just naturally be against what the previous administration did.
Trump Voters seemed to put their personal views in Trump without any evidence on his actual stance.
Being that he has no political background we really don't know what he will do as president. His business record may say one thing, however you can't run a country like a business. You just can't fire underperformers, you will need to find a way to elevate them so they can perform again.
