What is this, jump on the "we exposed data" bandwagon... but seriously, for Christ sake, this is over 2 years ago. It makes you look stupid, inept or nefarious for failing to report for so long.
The USPS is losing money because of the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006. It required USPS pension funding to change from a "pay as you go" model to a pre-paid model. The postal pension fund is over 80% funded for future obligations - unlike the Federal workers pension fund which is $7 TRILLION dollars underfunded. http://www.businessinsider.com...
The problem is compounded by decreasing snail mail usage.
Earlier this year, AT&T was selected to be the broadband provider for First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) to build and manage the first broadband network dedicated to America’s police, firefighters and emergency medical services (EMS). The FirstNet network will cover all 50 states, 5 U.S. territories and the District of Columbia, including rural communities and tribal lands in those states and territories. http://about.att.com/story/fir...
American companies have finally realized
1 -their customers detest trying to have a conversation with someone who doesn't speak English - and that Indian is NOT English.
2- Costs of Indian developers isn't that cheap once you factor administrative, project management and commutation problems within a group on the other side of the planet - again, with people don't understand the cultural nuances of American English speech
. On the positive, companie can't find enough workers in the US paying great salaries. Ride while you can!
shove your self righteousness up your politically correct arse. .... human beings can lean to read, write, have options, contribute to society and become President of the United States.
Let me know next time you see a cow performing brain surgery or correctly answering any question in a 5th grade class.
We are animals, just a different species from bovine. In nature one species preys on another. That's life, that's death, that's nature - too bad.
Secondly, this is a capitalistic economy - if I want to eat meat and I can afford it, I'm going to buy meat and enjoy the hell out of it. Someone else makes a living preparing my steak and someone else makes a living growing my steak. The minute you tell me what I can and can't do, that's a dictatorship, and you're going to be at the angry end of a revolution.
And by the way, I also love venison. I shot a moose this year and it's some of the best meat I've ever eaten.
Elections require money to operate. The more money, the you can push a candidate and sway things in there favor. Money buys votes. The GOP hasn't won popular vote in a presidential election since 1988..(excluding W's 2nd term).yet, here were are. Try and suggest again that money doesn't win elections.
50 years ago venereal disease wasn't permanent and/or didn't kill you. There were no drinking and driving laws nor much social awareness of them. There was no terrorism. A family could be middle class and live comfortably off a single income. Insurance had no out of pocket cost and the employer paid 100%. College was affordable and there were virtually no student loans, meaning you could almost pay for it all by working yourself- full time in summer and part time during school. Governments and corporations did not engage in mass public spying - as a matter of fact a President resigned vs facing impeachment for spying. People cared about privacy, freedom had meaning and wasn't just a slogan. A car didn't cost 1/2 a years salary. People we not overly sensitive, we were emotionally tough and didn't get all bent out of shape over "politically correct" pointless crap. People were not afraid to speak their minds. News agencies broke news and were respected. The US education system was ranked the best in the world. US Healthcare was ranked best in the world. The US was respected by the rest of the word. Science, education and truth were goals to cherished and strived for.
Was it better... yes.
That's not true. You could get a education deferment from being drafted. Once you graduated, you're position in the draft moved down because of age. That's why Vietnam was called the poor mans war.
Of course our elected officials can overturn net neutrality – unfortunately, it’s a majority GOP and they live in a world that believes every single thing touched by Obama is poison and must be killed. Secondly, ALL of our representatives have collectively taken $101M from the communications cabal. Some of the GOP have introduced bills that even block State/Locals from implementing their own version of NN.
The sad fact is the only way to fix this is to get corporate money out of politics. Till we do, our information, resources, and people are up for grabs to the highest bidder/ lobbyist.
That's not good.... Your employer should have in place "business continuity plans", which, just like "disaster recovery plans" deal with bad "what if's" that can befall an organization. Business Continuity Plans include succession plans for key personnel and knowledge.
When to talk about your retirement is separate topic. Personally, as someone who's 55, I would give 6 months to a year notice, and would likely do some heavy planning way before that. For example I have accrued (c) 450 hours of sick time. I'm certainly not going out leaving that on the table. Some employers don't pay it out so you'll have to use it up before you go - hence, long term planning. Good luck and enjoy!
Someone is putting way too much effort into thinking about this. People haven't trusted the Government (US Govt) since Vietnam.
First of all, a small share of people own the majority of bitcoin - with the US Gov'T being the largest single wallet holder. In 2013 the FBI's wallet had 144,000 bitcoins- do the math.
na, this isn't a change in trust, it's a bubble. don't get popped.
Without the fanatical micromanagement of an anal retentive obsessive compulsive at the helm, it's really just any other company. Sad when the loss of a visionary results in the loss keeping marking from making engineering decisions, that's a change in corporate values.
Call Job's what you will, but single mind and driven were definitely some of the qualities. He had a unique perspective, and though I was never an apple fanboy, I appreciated his contribution to the craft of technology...I think that's the biggest change.. it's so seldom a craft anymore. The only long rang vision for young companies is to divine something cutsie and get swallowed by a big company getting rich in the process - no ownership of a piece of art or legacy that can improve the world.
I run a small ISP that uses Cogent as my primary upstream provider. Cogent and Verizon have been fighting literally for years over "unbalanced peering". Meaning, Verizon was throwing a fit because a majority of Cogent's traffic comes from Netflix and Verizon wanted some pay-ola to balance the peering. When Net Neutrality was in place, Verizon was forced to allow traffic.... but now that our friend Pai has removed that requirement, any upstream provider is free to extort any amount they want to restore traffic.
BS, Uber didn't rock any boat... It's a parasite entity that attempts to suck profit off the back of "workers". Calling them "contractors", no benefits, using their own vehicles, competing against each other to drive down cost - by the time you factor in all costs and taxes (of which independent contractors pay ALL), these are sub-minimum wage gigs. Driving someone you don't know to a place you aren't going for money isn't "ride share", it's a taxi. period. And the drivers are shorted the most. This isn't a win.
This is nothing more that lip service trying to appease public rage, knowing full well citizens have less attention span than a 2 year old. They know Humpty-Trumpty will perform some even more egregious act, diverting attention and none of them will have to give back the $101 Million our "representatives" pocketed from the communications cabal. https://www.theverge.com/2017/...
Bottom line is the leaches and oligarchy want NN dead, it will stay dead because we the people no longer matter.
The BRIC nations (Russia, Brazil, China, India & South Africa) are building their own backup global DNS system. https://www.bleepingcomputer.c...
My guess is that it's on track sooner than expected and it's likely more than the purported "backup". Especially with asshat, cabal owned, Pai killing Net Neutrality today, nobody trusts the US, nor should they. The routing should be taken as a precursor.
What hogwash "By 2016, the number of visitors had almost doubled, to 23 billion, ".... there's only 7.4B people on the entire planet..... Only 3 billion people have internet access today.. I'm fairly certain my 90 year old grand mother has never (on purpose) been to pornhub... and given the punishment of Muslim countries... there's no way it's in the billions of visitors. This means of those who do visit are really, really active..
Yes, the cabal of major ISPs (AT&T/Comcast/Verizon) are prohibited from carving the internet into a cable like system with Net Neutrality, preventing them from changing you by the "station", or in this case, site. Additionally, they want be able to develop "profiles" of your surfing habits and sell them to marketers without your knowledge or permission.
Repealing NN is an estimated $8B dollar gimme to the cabal.
To achieve their aim, they have peppered congress with $101M in gravy to ensure their victory. https://www.theverge.com/2017/...
Of course, unlike cable providers, ISP's do not have to license or bid for content for rebroadcast. We as end users are already paying for content (netflix/prime/hulu subscriptions) and for the connections. Remember the definition of ISP (Internet Service Provider?), Despite record profits, that model isn't good enough for them: https://www.reuters.com/articl...
No matter what the people think, or who says it, NN will be repealed. may god have mercy on their souls and our check books.
What we are now seeing the the oligarchy is so emboldened, they are openly saying "screw you citizens, you have no rights, only we have a right to your money".
The GOP hasn't won an honest election popular vote in 15 years - This open brazenness is just the beginning. The next step is law change. Notice that Trump has filled more Judge seats at this point in his tenure than Obama, Bush or Clinton... The GOP means to change the US in their favor, regardless of the "will of the people". We witnessing the resurgence what in the past was "robber barons" where law is bought and life is cheap.

I was getting these scam messages back in the '90s... Has anyone actually fallen for this clearly bogus garbage?
