Well, they'll just claim you're out in the public eye and don't have any expectation of privacy.
I mean it's not like the Civil Forfeiture laws where they can take any cash/property on your person without cause or due process. You're not even required to have been *charged* with any crime. Stop & Frisk has been replaced with Seize & Threaten.
They're betting that you'll walk away from lengthy, expensive legal fight to get your property/rights back.
It was certainly nice that this was approved with a great deal of speed by all the agencies involved. Good news too that they were able to preempt other previously approved projects.
But in reality, it sounds like they had an excellent plan and at least some proof-of-concept design done when it was pitched to those agencies. Also, it's pretty time-sensitive and a great PR win if it succeeds, which the space industry desperately needs right now.
When the grease is available, all those wheels of government can turn pretty quickly!
This is where the understanding of Programming Language Concepts comes into play. If you understand the basic principles of what you want to do the syntax will come.
Wish I had mod points for a 5-digit uid reply which should have been obvious to the OP.
As mentioned below, surely there can be a work-study position funded for an inventory clerk. I'm sure there are already people being paid to check-in/check-out books & videos at the library or equipment at the gym/fitness center.
Now Tobacco/Nicotine, soon to come: Meat eaters need not apply, only strict vegetarians. The risk of eating high fat dietary items carries a higher risk of medical issues.
I was fortunate enough to attend a college prep school. A number of classes had homework counted as the number of problems you attempted, but was NOT included in your grade. Some folks lied, others would say they attempted 0 questions. Your level of participation was usually directly related to your understanding and ease with the material.
The best college math professor I had simply asked if there were any questions about the homework that was assigned at the last class. No questions? Class dismissed.
The trick here was that the homework assigned was on NEW MATERIAL. You weren't expected to know how to do the assignment, you were expected to ATTEMPT the assignment and try to work out the process on your own and bring your questions about the process to class.
Learning needs to be an ACTIVE process. Simply attending class should not be enough to graduate.
Cat got your tongue? Don't want to spill the beans? Why not outline some basics of your design and we'll help identify where the weaknesses are. Cause there's a HUGE hole there right now...
So many things missing from the OP's requirements like:
Must work in ALL weather conditions (fog, rain, snow, dust) Must be accurate to 1 ms Must identify which DRIVER is in the car as more than one person may be driving any given car, and drivers may have full face helmets Must handle backward/spinning/sliding finishes Must process in near realtime ( 20sec between finishes) Must handle multiple cars on course at once (at least 3 running) Must handle GoKarts and other strange pieces of machinery that may not have roof/hood/doors Portable/Lightweight/Packable
Ah, but how many of these other businesses are still paying their pensions? Too many simply went bankrupt or just closed up shop and the benefit recipients were told to pound sand.
Most people would be thrilled to have a pension for retirement, but most would rail against the idea that part of their benefits they EARNED were simply stripped away years later due to a cash flow problem.
Here, with this law, the problem has simply presented itself earlier in the life cycle.
I'm sure someone will help trigger the programmatic trading tomorrow and drag everything down. That stock price will do more rising and falling tomorrow than a collapsed souffle.
I'm not sure what the big deal is. I've seen this decades ago. Granted the end points were stationary relative to each other and the distances were slightly shorter.
But all you'd really need is a 50MW laser and a phase-conjugate tracking system.
Since we cannot determine your place of residence, I'll assume you do not know of 'At-Will-Employment'.
In Indiana (and many other States), employment is 'At Will' which basically boils down to this: You or your employer may terminate the employee/employer relationship at will, with no notice, for any reason OR NO REASON AT ALL.
Legally, they can terminate your employment at anytime.
Only if you can PROVE that you were terminate due to a federally protected status (race/sex/religion/etc...) do you have any legal ground whatsoever.
Personally, I'd have to REALLY LOVE that company and the job to put up with accusations and a lack of trust that's being displayed. This is definitely not the type of behavior that they would accept from you...
While I agree with you generally, don't you think that bashing the screen with something sharp/pointy is a fairly common occurrence with non-flip phones?
Keys, countertops, railings and curbs all come to mind...
I think you'd be surprised by the number of people (non-tech included) that are aware of the poor reliability of Comcast's DNS servers. It only happens once before they call their family tech. They'll call customer service, but CS won't be able to resolve the problem as they'll just recommend a reboot of the equipment.
I've even known of Comcast installers (contractors) that will set the second or third DNS server entry to Verizon's DNS (4.2.2.4) just so that when their local DNS servers go down, the customer's connection will continue to resolve domain names.
Nothing quite like having an irate housewife call on a weekend because she can't lookup her webmail or Oprah's book of the week.
Doesn't seem to be happening in Northwest Indiana either.
Given the poor availability of the Comcast DNS servers in this area, forcing their use seems like a very quick way to flood their customer service lines.
Also remember that the racism door swings both ways. Being in the Region, I make it a point NOT to drive through Gary, IN after dark.
The police have stopped me and others on occasion simply for driving through town. Their understanding is that a white person in Gary after dark is only there for 1 of 2 things: Buy Drugs or Get Robbed/Assaulted.
Really. I've had a police escort out of town twice (thought it was a joke the first time)...
Perhaps not the TI, but the writing implement of choice really isn't an issue. You shouldn't be erasing your work anyway. A simple strike-through should be all that's needed.
This way you keep a DOCUMENT of your thought process as you work. This is invaluable when you reach a roadblock and can collaborate with your colleagues. They can look at your process and see what/where your assumptions (and errors) are.
And while it doesn't apply ONLY to Engineering degrees, it's definitely one of the biggest problems: A degree (or your GPA) doesn't REALLY mean much at all once you've gotten past HR.
What DOES matter is the REAL EXPERIENCE that you've gained both from in-class projects with outside companies and internships/summer employment. Hopefully, a side benefit of these experiences has been an increase in your network of contacts.

Don't forget to factor in the fuel costs of toting around four 150lb bags of water for EACH flight. That's not an insignificant portion of the cost.

Seems like I'll need to get a hockey mask to go with my tinfoil hat.
OOooo, or maybe one of those high-def ex-Presidential masks!

None of this is more than a web search away.
Besides, we're talking about the 'competent' coder anyway. Who's leading this team? Hellen Keller?

Now, where'd I put those mods points...
You hire someone to check it in and out.

After all no one in the industry cares more about the customer experience better than Apple. Right?
Of course not! No customer should want to watch movies on Blu-ray(tm) discs.
That kind of behavior is just a bit too extreme.

Ok, reset. Ready? Take TWO!
