There's an obstructively slow legal process for forming a union at that's *recognized by the government*. However nothing prevents these wronged workers from joining together right now in solidarity and stopping work in a de facto strike.
The badlaw might not recognize that as a union. Turd polishing attorneys and their cock gobbling apologists would probably consider it "inappropriate". Call it what you want but the power of a union comes from the strike. If the UCSF workers tried it, they just might succeed.
Makes me glad I studied history and philosophy. Way more intellectually interesting that computer science. Sure, I've worked in software for 15 years, because programming is easy if you can think logically, and the pay used to be good. But now that the US tech industry is circling the drain, I guess it's time to get out before there's nothing left at all.
If you're an American, the joke's on you. Ever since CALEA, it's unlawful to sell a phone in the United States that doesn't have hardware level remote surveillance capabilities built-in.
This particular badlaw was signed by Bill Clinton well before 911. Try to get a copy of the (secret, but leaked) implementing regulations if you can.
When I was a little kid, my 90 year old grandfather would give me 50 cents and say "don't spend it all in one place". Any chance you're also 90 years old?
Or maybe you live in a seriously 3rd-world economy? 'Cuz you can't even get a bowl of pho from a street vendor in Vietnam for $0.25, much less a burger in a developed country. Just sayin'.
I watch zero legal dramas. Ever. They make me physically sick to my stomach.
Right - not bad laws - badlaws. No space, single word. Correct politics begins with correct language.
If you think the political system in the States represents the interests of commoners, I do NOT want some of what you're smoking. That shit is too strong for me. I need to be able to walk home.
If "legal training" is necessary to appreciate the value of the badlaws, that only reinforces my point about the anti-popular nature of the juridical form. Are you a lawyer? Maybe you're one of the "good" ones. After all, comrade Castro was an attorney before he gained political awareness. But please realize, meaningful political change will be painfully, generationally slow so long as the kourts rule America.
Hahaha - lobby to amend the badlaws. Sorry my brother, I don't have millions to spend on lawful bribes. And I have no family connections. So truly, no one in power gives a shit about my opinions.
Fwiw, I personally have managed to stay clear of the infernal meat grinder that is the "justice" system. Thank the gods! But I've seen it at work, and it's appalling. I struggle to think of a single good thing to say about it. I suppose I can say it's taught me to distrust the juridical form in general as a fundamentally anti-popular vestige of aristocracy in nominally democratic states.
Please stop using the term "cultural marxists" to describe the Social Just-us Wingnuts. Those vile, bigoted elitists espouse an ideology that's damn near the opposite of classical Marxism.
On one hand, I don't have any particular desire to see divorcing couples' dirty laundry spread all over the internet. But on the other hand, I've known a few too many people who were basically thrown under the bus by biased divorce courts. So I'm really not sure if keeping some trials secret is all that good an idea.
The kind of kangaroos I had in mind can be found throughout the United States, and are especially abundant in the eastern district of New York. No doubt New Zealand has their fair share of judicial marsupials as well.
Justice demands that all trials be live streamed. The kangaroo courts cannot be trusted. All their actions must be subject to monitoring by the people.
I had a 5 hour layover at Shanghai (PVG) last month. No visa of any sort required to move around the international terminal of the airport. Of course I'm pretty certain they would not have let me leave the airport - but definitely no transit visa involved just to change planes.
The US Gubmint, striking yet another blow against internet freedom! Listen and hear, you poor and you workers of the world - you will NOT have access to the same cultural data as your betters, and Soviet America will use the violent coercive power of the imperial state to make sure of it.
Elephant in the room that the advocates of self-driving cars don't want to discuss, and won't admit is a serious risk: security. Sure, you can claim all day long that these self-driving cars and their control systems will be "uber secure". But hey, in other recent news some folks are selling software they exfiltrated from the NSA. So I'm pretty sure if someone can crack them, then someone can crack Uber.
Thing is, all it takes is one compromise to wreak carnage on an absolutely catastrophic scale.
Imagine a near future with a few million autonomous Uber vehicles deployed and active. One malicious hacker cracks into the system. His motivations don't matter. Hacker sez to the cars: "Attention all self-driving Ubers! Turn hard left now and accelerate to maximum speed." That's all it takes, man, all it takes. I hope that doesn't happen, but I fear it will. Maybe then people will understand the risks they're playing with.
I addressed bidets specifically as not being a point of successful automation because you still have to wipe afterward.
Have you not tried the Toto Washlet with built-in blow dryer? Truly a superior post-pooping experience. (There may be other models/brands that are even better, this is just a well-known example.)
There is nothing fair in knowingly taking money with a promise to pay it back and then deciding that it isn't important to actually pay it back.
You are reasoning like they took a loan from a human person. They did not. They took a loan from a financial institution. The financial institution created the money from thin air (of course it's actually much more complicated in detail, but that's basically the truth from a distance). Apologists for financial institutions often claim their usurious profits are justified by the "risk" of default they take on when making a loan. Well, this is the "risk" come home to roost.

liberal = conservative = centrist = progressive = capitalist

It would be immoral to sabotage systems or update documentation to be incorrect
Why?
So what you're saying is, you're lying?

As others have said: release the full current source code, or we don't believe you. Sunlight is a good disinfectant.

The sooner all these culture-hoarders in the "music industry" go bankrupt, the better for all of us.
And why do they need it? NSA unable to crack https?
No need to 'crack' HTTPS when they have legal power over all the important Certificate Authorities. HTTPS is insecure to the US government by design.

Government already does that
FTFY
I don't have accounts on any of those services.
I imagine that all by itself would make you a "person of interest".

She'll pack the Court with elitist police state advocates. Trump probably will too.

I have been talking about it for 15 years, and there is only one thing I have seen so far that is even going in the right direction.
What is that one thing?
