By giving Hillary a pass on her emails in July? Funny way of going about it.
That aside, this is probably a correct decision on Trump's part. Comey definitely put his thumb on one side of the scale and maybe the other side (intentionally or not). He could no longer be credible as a neutral agent of the law.
You know what? If I keep my stickie note in a safe with a controlled combo (just me and the site locksmith), that's better than a mess of key escrows and decryptable passwords and all the other MS junk that people who don't know any better pay money for.
People who live their whole lives on the internet forget how damn difficult it is to hack and steal a piece of paper in a secure metal container. Actual hacksaws are required. That's real security that doesn't depend on some half-literate outsourcee in India not making a deliberate mistake.
Who the f are you to tell anyone what they should want? Typical democrat thinking: something is objectively bad, clearly undesirable, and serves no purpose other than to line the pockets of central planners. Therefore declare it a MORAL IMPERATIVE to want it. It's a microaggression if you use Linux. Two if you use Linux without systemd.
Don't undersell item no. 3. I've never served myself but I've worked with plenty of folks who have. They ran the gamut in terms of their technical skills from none to PhD physicist, but compared to kids fresh out of college, not a single one of them ever needed to be taught how to work and behave in the workplace. Anyone who's ever had a fresh crop of overconfident graduates come in the door knows exactly what I mean.
NOT tax "robots" and let the markets evolve with changing technology.
People out of work will find new jobs, or new places to live that aren't as over-priced as SF.
Companies will find the right balance of automation and the human touch in customer-facing positions.
And the government will avoid yet another lurch into Venezualan socialism by promising everything to everyone at the expense of Those People.
Abstraction sucks. If I want my webpage to display text and a picture, I can type the text into a p tag and the picture link into a img tag. Simple, easy, does what's expected, loads in a snap. Piling idiot framework on top of idiot framework to get the same thing done slower and stupider is not forward progress in technology.
Because in the 90's, Microsoft was everywhere, so every vendor for every embedded system component out there produced development kits and compilers and programming toolkits that would run on the machines their customers had handy. Which in the 90's meant Windows. I'll give you an example: Allen Bradley makes embedded controllers for industrial machinery. The controller itself runs VxWorks or RT Linux or QNX or some other real operating system. The develoment environment is Windows only, and a lot of third-party add-ons like graphical toolkits to make touch panel controls and the like are Windows only.
So my nice and high-tech and Linux-only system for doing the process control has to have a WinXP machine in there so that I can use my ten year old Allen Bradley controller which I can buy for 20k instead of developing from-scratch myself for 100-200k. Yeah. Real life imposes constraints.
Every employer under the sun has a policy about intellectual property. Many, in fact, claim rights to any monetizable technical output an employee produces, whether during business hours or not, on the grounds that engineers can have a brilliant idea at any hour of the day, and that's why they're paid the big bucks.
All programming languages are tedious as fuck to use. In fact, work itself is tedious as fuck when the alternative is beer, sex and video games. Yet people still go to work because they get paid money for it.
When British books are released in the US, they have their spelling corrected and their obscure Briticisms translated into equivalent American terms. Similarly, when French books are released in the US, they are translated into American English.
Except I'm not a technician. I'm an engineer. I hold a degree in engineering from an ABET acreditted university and I do engineering work: I make calculations, I design things, and all the good stuff. What I don't hold is a license to sell engineering services to the public or to government agencies as a Professional Engineer, and guess what: I don't introduce myself as a Professional Engineer, nor do I append the letters 'P.E." after my name in my correspondence.
Same here. We're all engineers. But when something needs signatures, we dig up a PE from in house or from a specialist contractor depending on what its for.
My medical opinion is that you should eat oranges by the bucket.
Should I be fined for practicing medicine without a license? Or do you understand that I actually need to offer to provide medical services to you for that threshold to be reached?
I did. You dodged my question about opportunities for corruption and lack of transparency, asserted that your idea makes the tax code better, and cited a government website (no bias possible!) and wikipedia (oh boy) to imply that it lowers overall tax burden. I'm still waiting.

Clumsy copy-pasting? From msmash? Impossible!
There must be a reason NASA hasn't done this themselves.
Peter Principle? This is a government agency we're talking about here.
Let's show how enlightened we men are by believing everything she says and hanging on her every word!
UBI my ass. Work for your supper like the rest of us. Excuses excuses excuses.
"The hispters drive up rents in the place I have a God-given right to live!"
"UBER competes unfairly because they're driving away my taxi revenue!"
"The robot ate my homework!"
Complain less. Work more. If there's a dollar in your hand that you didn't earn...that makes you a thief.

before I heartily endorse this, and all other, predictions about $TECHNOLOGY in the future.

No? Well, then we're not really living the dream, are we?

Don't feel you get paid enough? Leave.
You don't know what you're talking about. Clearly you've never written a program more complicated than "Hello world" in LabView.

All the more reason to make sure it's correct English that's being used. Wouldn't want to set a bad example, would we now?
Sneakers. Msmash really is a brain-dead little thing that can't understand that American websites need to have content in American English.

For a straight answer.

Well that's his point, isn't it? All he was doing is mouthing off. He wasn't offering to sign design documents for the State of Oregon, was he?
I did. You dodged my question about opportunities for corruption and lack of transparency, asserted that your idea makes the tax code better, and cited a government website (no bias possible!) and wikipedia (oh boy) to imply that it lowers overall tax burden. I'm still waiting.
