Half the requirements and TRAIN THE PEOPLE to do the job. Any job that takes a smart person more than a week to learn how to do 90% of the work should be split into two jobs.
What kind of simplified work are you doing? I've worked on projects with so much source code that it takes a full month to feel like you can figure out exactly where to look for a single problem without spending time digging around looking for the issue. I mean, I suppose you could say that I am capable of doing the work the day that I show up for that job, but learning enough to do the work well can take months, even for experienced people.
The $999 price is for a *pair* of speakers, so you can listen in stereo.
This Apple thing costs $349 for a single speaker. So unless you listen exclusively to pre-1965 monophonic classics, it will sound significantly less good than any decent pair of stereo speakers.
I don't have room for two speakers in my tiny house, you insensitive clod!
Instead, of selling critical infrastructure to businesses, make sure the bidding process to build & maintain those things is based on solid business foundations. There's too much crony-ism in the bidding process, too much bias toward existing contractors regardless of performance.
This is the epitome of cronyism. Are you kidding me? Why give out lucrative contracts to maintain the infrastructure when you can give away billions in assets for pennies on the dollar and t he new asset holder can then turn that critical infrastructure into a goose that lays a golden egg.
That is not true at all. Bill Clinton was impeached for Obstruction of Justice (perjury).
You made two mistakes:
What I said is true
"Obstruction of justice" can't (normally) be the primary charge. You attempt at counter example is invalid — in the case of Bill Clinton, the primary charge was sexual assault (of Paula Jones).
Perjury was a separate charge
Clinton was impeached for perjury (lying) to grand jury and obstruction of justice. Yeah, I agree, that this is not important.
Clinton was never indicted for any crime other than obstruction of justice. For one thing, only the house of representatives could start such an action against a sitting president. Just go ahead and ask any lawyer you know whether or not you'll go to jail for lying to the police. It happens all the time. It is illegal no matter why they are interviewing you. This is why a girlfriend can go to jail for obstruction of justice if she provides a false alibi for her boyfriend without committing any other crime. Look it up. Ask a lawyer. Lying and obstructing an investigation is illegal.
I would consider the firing of Comey to be obstruction of justice
Of course, you would — such is your hatred of Trump. And this, too, presumes, Trump was guilty (of something else), was afraid Comey would uncover it, and fired him to avoid the uncovering. For this to make sense, you still need to show, what that "something else" could possibly have been. Until you can state an actual (primary) charge, your complaints of "obstruction" make no sense.
Further, what if I told you, multiple Democrats demanded Comey's firing months and days before Trump done did it? Here:
Reid (D, Nevada): "Comey should resign!"
Sen. Harry Reid has called for FBI Director James Comey to resign for allegedly withholding information on President-elect Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. Reid, who was a fierce opponent of Comey’s handling of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, which many believe cost her the election, told MSNBC on Saturday that he believes the FBI knew all along that Russia was helping Trump and deliberately did nothing about it.
Schumer (D, New York): I've lost confidence in FBI director
Sen. Charles Schumer is joining a growing chorus of criticism over FBI Director James Comey's decision to alert lawmakers to new emails potentially linked to the bureau's investigation into Hillary Clinton's private server.
“I do not have confidence in him any longer,”
Maxine Waters (D, CA), Hank Johnson (D, GA): “The FBI director has no credibility,”
“The FBI director has no credibility,” said Rep. Maxine Waters of California.
“My confidence in the FBI director’s ability to lead this agency has been shaken,” said Rep. Hank Johnson of Georgia.
First of all, I do not hate Trump. I have no reason to hate Trump. Do I think he is an idiot? Yes. Do I think he's an embarrassment to the office of the president? Yes. Do I think he only acts in his own best int
It surely is, but — like "resisting arrest" — it can't be the primary one. Which crime was it, that the "justice" trying to prosecute, when it was unduly obstructed?
That is not true at all. Bill Clinton was impeached for Obstruction of Justice (perjury). The senate chose not to prosecute. But even in the case of someone who provides a false alibi to law enforcement, they can be prosecuted for Obstruction of Justice when no other crime has been committed.
it's pretty clear he's been stepping on the toes of the FBI
Not clear at all, but let's not get distracted...
I would consider the firing of Comey to be obstruction of justice since the FBI had an active investigation that involved people directly affiliated with Trump. For one thing, everyone in the GOP (Trump included), thought that he was the best thing since sliced bread when he sent that letter concerning Hillary Clinton in the week prior to the election. All of the sudden he is a Clinton supporter and a terrible director a few months later when it comes to light that Trump's close allies are being investigated? The Director of the FBI is generally appointed for a specific term and it is not traditional for an incoming president to fire the director from the previous administration. And don't get me started on Trump's own comments regarding Comey and the investigation. If his mouth was any larger, he'd have both feet inside of it. The Attorney General typically handles direct interaction with the FBI on behalf of the president. You're entitled to your opinion on the matter. To my knowledge, neither one of us has the power to proceed with an indictment (or impeachment) in the matter, but I am generally intolerant of anyone using their position to seek special legal treatment for themselves or those around them. Such abuse happens, it always does. But such flagrant abuses should rightfully be dealt with in the harshest way possible. It's the only way to prevent further and more flagrant abuse.
Trump himself may be indicted in the upcoming months
Whenever I encounter anyone espousing such idea, I always ask them: "indicted for what?" For some reason, I'm yet to hear a coherent answer... Once people realize, there is no such crime as "collusion", they tend to shut up...
You are next — please, elaborate, which criminal statue(s) you suspect President Trump to have violated. Not asking for proof — just state the actual accusation, please — the crime(s) he's committed. I'll wait...
Obstruction of Justice is an indictable offense and I think it's pretty clear he's been stepping on the toes of the FBI his entire presidency.
Or, maybe, your very premise is incorrect and Trump does not, actually, want to be an authoritarian despot?
It's possible. I don't have a lot of confidence in him (or Hillary for that matter). I can't tell if he has dementia, or just really forgets what side of an issue he stands on every 5 minutes. Honestly, he's a bit of an embarrassment. I think the only things Donald Trump cares about are 1) Donald Trump 2) Donald Trump's Ego 3) money 4) sex. It feels like the pickings for presidential candidate have been getting worse and worse throughout my life, but perhaps I just have a better perspective of what's going on.
Another area that the health care system needs to address is their methodology of tracking the status of health issues. Currently, they run completely on the squeaky-wheel system. If the wheel don't squeak, it's not an issue any more. (Doesn't matter if the wheel has crumbled into dust or not!). As engineers, if we find an issue we usually have a process to track progress to resolution. Not in the health care system! It's completely random and ad hoc. You as a patient have to manage your own "bug tracking" because no one else will.
Is this really so unreasonable? There are diagnosis where this does not make sense but, on the whole, who else could possibly track the resolution of a problem you have? Take, for example, a common cold. You get sick, you don't feel well, maybe you're not sure if it's something serious so you go to the doctor. They tell you to go home, get some bed rest, and come back if you aren't feeling better in a few weeks. Do they have any objective way of knowing that you are better or worse? They cannot measure your symptoms. How can they know if you're back in the office, or in a coffin? They have nothing to measure, nothing to look for. You provide them with all the information they have to make a diagnosis and determine if there is a problem. You're an adult. You ought to be able to manage your own resolution to a cold.
Now if you take something like chlamydia they will likely treat you entirely differently. If you went in and were diagnosed with chlamydia, they would probably send you home with antibiotics and schedule a follow up for you after a few weeks to make sure that you tested negatively for it. In this case they have a clear test that shows whether or not you have the disease, and can tell if it resolves itself. You may be asymptomatic and it is important to know whether or not you are still spreading it to every bar patron at your favorite hangout. They will do everything in their power to make sure you have resolved the issue short of forcing you into their office for a test.
So what exactly are you hoping that they will change in regard to resolving your complaints?
My doctor once told me if I was willing to change my lifestyle (as I am fat) and I said no. He explained me what would happen and prescribed me my year supply of Alipurinol (Gaut prevention).
So should I now go bankrupt because of the way I want to live my life? Am I allowed to tell you what you must eat and do? I hope you anwer is no, because otherwise it would go against everything else that makes you a free man.
This is why healthcare is such a tricky and sensitive topic. In general, I believe that it is unfair to ask someone to help pay for your gout medication because you do not make healthy lifestyle choices. However, someone who chooses to exercise regularly could become severely injured and then someone who does not like exercise is stuck paying for that person's recovery as well. You are clearly externalizing the cost of your choices by using subsidized healthcare to continue to make poor choices. I don't think anyone wants to tell you what to eat or drink, who has time for that? But maybe they don't want to help pay for your medication unless you are willing to put in effort to reduce your cost? Even if you made an attempt to change your lifestyle and failed, I think most people would be far happier about that than your blatant refusal to change.
But you're right, in general people should not be trying to tell each other how to live. That should be reserved for times where one person is infringing upon the rights of another. I don't understand your choice, but there is no requirement that every choice a person makes be understandable, even to the person who made that choice. I do hope that your choices make you happy, though. Best of luck to you.
Given your interpretation of those figures, between 1/3 and half of all people in that county, including the children, are on prescription painkillers.
That is completely unreasonable, and the story is absolutely right to suggest it's newsworthy.
Yes, opiods are over prescribed. But not to extent almost half the population is on them.
There are over 26,000 people in that county, with only one hospital. That hospital is in the town in question.
After I had my wisdom teeth out, my dentist told me to get the script filled immediately and take one right away rather than waiting until I felt discomfort (presumably because the medicine takes time to work).
They recommend that you take all pain meds (opiod or otherwise) prior to actually needing the dose. They say that they're more effective if you take them before the pain gets to its worst.
On paper, Jeff Bezos is now the richest man in the world, worth at least 50 times what Trump is worth -- why do you think Trump hates Bezos so much?
Until Trump releases a tax return, I am going to stand by my opinion that Trump isn't worth jack-shit. He's got some expensive properties and is probably so cash poor that he can barely afford to run them. The only thing we have to value Trump are his own statements about his worth and he thinks his name alone is worth billions. My guess is that he has squandered most of the fortune that his grandfather and father have left him.
The new dev model clearly isn't up to snuff, so just pausing -- stopping new development, won't work. The entire development model must be fixed
I agree that there are definitely problems plaguing Apple but I do believe that this is better than doing nothing. Software quality at Apple is at an all time low. Their devs don't seem to understand how to do things like cherry-pick security fixes from the current OS version into the next OS version, or to even do basic usability testing of their own work to make sure they didn't break something. Perhaps they'll figure out basic development skills while they're having to fix all their mistakes.
...at least in Europe and in the US thieves are sofisticated enough to hack the ATMs. In my country, they explode them. It's a security nightmare in smaller towns with insufficient police forces.
You should never link to NY Daily News. They're lying bastards. They aren't even good liars, either. They try to blame my ad-blocker for preventing the loading of their articles when I see the whole article load and then get covered up by this page suggesting that there is some software bug in the ad-blocker.
slot machines make it hard to open with out setting off an alert so why do AMT have less of that stuff?
The story I read earlier said that they're somehow able to replace the hard drive on some NCR ATMs without opening the device. However, the system doesn't just boot back up with the new HDD after that. They actually use an industrial endoscope to find a button inside of the device that lets it reset without opening it up. So it sounds like the device will alarm if you open it, but is poorly designed and you can replace key components and reset it without having to actually open it.
Not a big fan of this commercial, but only because I don't see an issue with paying for a bigger pipe. I think it's fair that I pay more for higher raw throughput for multiple streaming devices than my neighbour that only streams through one TV.
But add a "Fast Lane, sponsored by Coca-Cola" to the mix, where Burger King can push you to buy Coca-Cola instead of Pepsi, because Coca-Cola bid higher than Pepsi for prioritization privileges, and the real problem with repealing NN becomes apparent.
Did you miss the part about the chicken? If you bought a chicken sandwich, it was instant. If you paid for extra speed on the whopper, it was instant. If you did not, they had your sandwich, weren't doing anything else (your pipe was empty), but they just didn't fill the capacity of their pipe.
I am so tired of the lowest-common-denominator ruining everything for everyone. Either they ruin it directly by being rude, annoying, and/or irresponsible, or ruin it indirectly due to places creating draconian rules/procedures to try and combat it.
Where have you been for the last thousands and thousands of years man? This has literally been going on since the beginning of civilization because there are a lot of people out there who are selfish, stupid, or both.
I always do those "anonymous" quotes with a throwaway hotmail account and, if I like the price, do it for real with my actual information. So that means that they'll automatically lose my business because I don't want to deal with spam from a company I don't choose to use.
... is that people who are procuring illegal (in particular, kiddie) porn could then hide behind the response of "I thought it was fake". If it went the other way though and actually destroyed the child and exploitative porn market then it would be mostly for the better.
It goes a lot deeper than that. For example, now that I know this is so easy to do, if I'm ever on a jury, I can't really consider any video evidence as enough for a criminal conviction, unless it has a documented chain of custody.
Likewise, any video that would normally cause public scandal can be dismissed as, "oh, it's fake!" even if it isn't, which might actually be a net benefit for public figures and those in power.
That's been handled by the digital security industry for over a decade. The first real digital video surveillance system signed every single frame at the encoder so that you could show exactly what frames, if any, were modified in court. The encoders now are built right into the cameras.
As someone who just quit smoking in favor of vaping, yes, nicotine isn't the only thing that keeps you smoking. I think its the combination of nicotine AND the activity itself.
My uncle found that once he started vaping, he was able to go down to zero nicotine in a few weeks. It seems that he's more addicted to the activity part. He has not been able to stop vaping. At least, he claims he is nicotine free. But either way, it's far more pleasant to go out drinking with him now.
No, you don't. You CHOOSE to spend it, which is your prerogative. You CHOOSE to remain in your vendor-owned workflow, probably out of fear, but you're actually in a great position..
You should stick to discussing industries that you actually know about. I am no architect, but have quite a few friends who are. My understanding is that they're constantly sending these files around to 3rd parties and everyone has to be on the same page. More sophisticated clients sometimes use the same tools for viewing the work you provide, too. Abandoning 3DS Max would likely mean you would be unable to deliver on your existing obligations and would also be unable to acquire new work. End of business.
No, Google isn't the problem here. Amazon is trying to keep their content off of everyone else's platforms, while retaining everyone else's content.
OOooooohhh is that why Amazon just released an Amazon Prime Video app for Apple TV? And all this time I thought it was Apple trying to keep them off of their streaming devices. And it also explains why there is an Xbox One Amazon Prime Video App, and an iOS App. I won't argue the Android App, since they want you to install their Android AppStore to download it.
Drunk person alone with car... not exactly grist for the Sherlock Holmes mill, is it?
Sure, in theory. But how can they prove that he operated it? What if a sober friend operated it, saw that a tow truck was needed, had an outstanding warrant, and fled to avoid being arrested? However, the case law clearly shows that if you are alone in the car, in any part of the passenger cabin, and you have the keys, you're getting a DUI. I understand the intention of this, but there does need to be common sense involved, too. For instance, if you literally had no choice but to shelter in your car or die due to exposure to the elements, or something of that nature.

I always do those "anonymous" quotes with a throwaway hotmail account and, if I like the price, do it for real with my actual information. So that means that they'll automatically lose my business because I don't want to deal with spam from a company I don't choose to use.
... is that people who are procuring illegal (in particular, kiddie) porn could then hide behind the response of "I thought it was fake". If it went the other way though and actually destroyed the child and exploitative porn market then it would be mostly for the better.
It goes a lot deeper than that. For example, now that I know this is so easy to do, if I'm ever on a jury, I can't really consider any video evidence as enough for a criminal conviction, unless it has a documented chain of custody.
Likewise, any video that would normally cause public scandal can be dismissed as, "oh, it's fake!" even if it isn't, which might actually be a net benefit for public figures and those in power.
That's been handled by the digital security industry for over a decade. The first real digital video surveillance system signed every single frame at the encoder so that you could show exactly what frames, if any, were modified in court. The encoders now are built right into the cameras.
As someone who just quit smoking in favor of vaping, yes, nicotine isn't the only thing that keeps you smoking. I think its the combination of nicotine AND the activity itself.
My uncle found that once he started vaping, he was able to go down to zero nicotine in a few weeks. It seems that he's more addicted to the activity part. He has not been able to stop vaping. At least, he claims he is nicotine free. But either way, it's far more pleasant to go out drinking with him now.
Why didn't he just phone the Russian embassy and ask them?
He was at Sarah Palin's house and was looking out his window at Russia.
No, you don't. You CHOOSE to spend it, which is your prerogative. You CHOOSE to remain in your vendor-owned workflow, probably out of fear, but you're actually in a great position. .
You should stick to discussing industries that you actually know about. I am no architect, but have quite a few friends who are. My understanding is that they're constantly sending these files around to 3rd parties and everyone has to be on the same page. More sophisticated clients sometimes use the same tools for viewing the work you provide, too. Abandoning 3DS Max would likely mean you would be unable to deliver on your existing obligations and would also be unable to acquire new work. End of business.
No, Google isn't the problem here. Amazon is trying to keep their content off of everyone else's platforms, while retaining everyone else's content.
OOooooohhh is that why Amazon just released an Amazon Prime Video app for Apple TV? And all this time I thought it was Apple trying to keep them off of their streaming devices. And it also explains why there is an Xbox One Amazon Prime Video App, and an iOS App. I won't argue the Android App, since they want you to install their Android AppStore to download it.
Drunk person alone with car... not exactly grist for the Sherlock Holmes mill, is it?
Sure, in theory. But how can they prove that he operated it? What if a sober friend operated it, saw that a tow truck was needed, had an outstanding warrant, and fled to avoid being arrested? However, the case law clearly shows that if you are alone in the car, in any part of the passenger cabin, and you have the keys, you're getting a DUI. I understand the intention of this, but there does need to be common sense involved, too. For instance, if you literally had no choice but to shelter in your car or die due to exposure to the elements, or something of that nature.
