This does not imply there is a stigma. After all, some of the Best people such as Einstein were extremely abnormal.... far from the Norm.
Some of the people in the LGBT category WANT you to know they are in that category, some of them want ONLY themselves or specific people to know, they are entitled to their personal confidentiality. The example shows how advertisers can intrude and compromise their personal desires.
Some people who are curious about LGBT podcasts are secretive, and that's about what THEY are comfortable with, AND their choices; they may have people in their life who wouldn't understand. So it is a good example of a sensitive subject.
Seriously, if you can show a way to track even the most minor spending details in an economically productive way there is a Nobel prize in it for you.
It's called do business with vendors who will work with you, and bill you for products or services by sending you an XML invoice with the SKU and Qty for each item.
If you have an organization that is actually wasting time doing stapler budget reviews
If your organization buys 50000 staplers a year for 50000 secretaries, then it's worthwhile making sure you are spending $5 per stapler, and getting the one that lasts 10 years, instead of spending $100 per stapler, and getting the one that lasts 2 years.
There's no legitimate disagreeing viewpoint; It is a fact that Kaby Lake is backwards compatible all the way back to Nehalem with no dropped instructions, and no instructions modified in a way that introduces compatibility issues; they Kaby Lake processors are not "Designed for Windows 10" as MS would imply, And in fact, the differences between the 7th generation and 6th generation CPUs that are still supported are so miniscule as to be dismissed as mere footnotes, or
minor tweaks, which have no affect on application compatibility....
Linux had similar problems with running on Skylake and newer processors on kernels earlier than around [....]
Windows 7 and 8 have been running FINE (or reasonably well) on these Newer processors for over a Year; these operating systems are BARELY serviced anymore at all, Only occasional Defect updates come out for the latest bug in Internet Explorer, Flash, etc.
Even though Windows 8 is still under its promised MAINSTREAM support period which includes New hardware enablement, they're getting cut off for new security patches too.
The security updates Are not CPU-related. They work fine except for the arbitrary forced update disablement. MS is going out of their way to maliciously attack people who run Windows 7 and Windows 8 on newer hardware, that probably means they downgraded their OS and are running Windows 7 and 8 just fine, Because the old OSes will run on new CPUs just fine, and power management differences are not all that significant (And can be disabled, anyways).
Sort of. Newer processors can also eliminate or replace instructions,
They Don't, Period. Intel goes through great lengths to make sure every later generation of X86 is fully backwards compatible with all the previous generations, all the way back to 80386.
If you want to bring back slavery, at least have the balls to put on your hood and carry....
Obviously your objection is that you're one of the people on these welfare programs, and you would prefer to stay on it forever, not do any work, and not have other people stop paying for you. If you had HALF the education required for a real job, you would realize that the definition of slavery is Not voluntarily giving work for nothing in return.
Slavery is either being FORCED to work either by physically being imprisoned and compelled to work, OR by having property forcibly taken from you or through taxation such that you have to work on a treadmill surrendering the fruits of your labor to a landlord, government, or neighbor. Slavery does not include the VOLUNTARY situation of agreeing and deciding to work for someone and having no payment as a condition.
How long till some enterprising inhuman figures out how to exploit all this free labor?
Forever, because the current protections are adequate against for-profit companies, They must pay at least minimum wage, unless the volunteer work is a gift to a government or charitable organization.
Do you want a new stapler in the office? Go fill out this TPS report and get the signature of your supervisor.
That doesn't sound very productive. I said the expense needs to be ACCOUNTED for at an individual item level for recordkeeping, meaning someone has to make sure the description of what item is purchased is entered into an online automated system that tracks the accounts, not "Sent through a formal approval process involving generating paperwork and signatures". Those are two very different things.
We could be getting amazing efficiency from our military spending and it would still be a pointless boondoggle.
You are jumping to a conclusion that may be false, however. $600 billion sounds like a lot, but we can't tell if it's actually going to the sort of expenses within defense that we think or not. Furthermore, it's not straightforward, because some of the US' GDP and the government's own income and state of the US economy relates to said defense spending, and it's not strictly that defense works like a "jobs" program.
Are you going to go argue that a secretary at NASA was being extravagant when she requisitioned a stapler?
No, but I am going to argue if she spent $100 on that stapler, Or if she hired her nephew's high-priced stapler service company to come in and deliver 10 staplers for $500, because the federal government has a LOT of secretaries, and there's going to be a need for MANY staplers, so it is naturally important that when they get these staplers, the government has applied a procedure, so they're getting good deals on such things.
I'm an accountant and one of the principles of accounting is that you don't bother tracking something if the cost of tracking it is greater than the value gained from doing the tracking.
No.... That is not a fundamental principle of accounting. That is a lazy accountant's principle that only holds water before the event of data-driven companies. And the value to be gained from doing tracking cannot be known in advance. Big data has fundamentally increased the importance of tracking and mining each facet, so every transaction adds important data, and the body comprises a whole that has a value whose worth is greater than a mere sum of its parts.
If you work for $Big_Retailer, and you buy a stapler from your office, you pay with a Company CC, and Accounting gets the invoice from you and posts the expense to the ledger, or you file a PO for your stapler, and accounting posts the expense to the ledger, Etc, and an Asset tag gets fixed to the stapler. There's no reason any government department should not be doing exactly the same thing that businesses must do, record details for each financial transaction, monitor the movement of valuable property, and make sure individual transactions sum to amounts that match the banking activity and overall reports.
Knowing that X spent $10 on a stapler is not solely for the purpose of question X person, but also, In part... understanding what the organization's stapler requirements are.... Are we spending too much on staplers? Are we losing them? Did we pick the wrong brand of stapler, so they are constantly breaking? When should we be buying them, and from whom, to get the best deal on this product or service?
Whereas making welfare recipients show up for volunteering would definitely be a cost savings.
That would be brilliant; save costs, limit the program to people who really need it, And give people on the program continuously a hazard, to help nudge these folks to try and find another solution..
e.g. "After an initial one-time offer of 4 weeks of total welfare support. Must show a weighted total of at least 40 hours a month volunteering, actual community service with jobs performed and hours worked ticket signed off by a government official, or working some job for that month, where each hour volunteering counts as 1.0*X hours, and each hour working a regular job counts as 1.0*Y hours, or show medical proof of a prior mental or physical disability such as blindness, limited mobility rendering physical labor infeasible, extremely painful, hazardous, or restricting work to less than double the number of required hours, (with extra vetting of disabled applicants including random visits/surveillance/other checks after 4 months as used by disability insurers to guard against fraud).
After 4 more weeks (two months receiving benefits in the same 3-month period), Add an additional requirement of 40 hours a month, to be presented and allocated before receiving the next check, Allowing unspent hours from the previous 12 weeks to count, provided the signed proof of those hours with supervisor/HR contact information was shown within 14 days of completing them. If the total Base requirement is not met, the completed requirements are allocated to weeks (Divide the month into 4 weeks), and benefits are received only for the number of weeks sufficient hours are worked for; Benefits for the following month will be capped at a benchmark level of what employee would earn from Total Required hours at Z% of minimum wage TIMES the fraction of Total required hours proven completed by the applicant.
Keep doubling the Additional Requirement every 4th week during any 3-month period benefits are received for (If once a week), until it reaches 200 hours a month additional requirement, then add 100 more required hours every successive month. Divide monthly numbers by 4 for a weekly requirement, and apply all new completed hours worked to meeting a minimum period of 4 weeks base requirement first. After the base requirement is met for the next 4 weeks, then apply successive hours starting at the current week's then successive week's additional required hours.
I think the cost of running an analysis that fine would eat any savings many fold over. It's like drug testing welfare recipients
Not really.... Each government department HAS to record all this data anyways; It's not like you need a special IT system for this. Someone has the data; it's just
not organized without summarizing.
I can login to my account at Amazon.com, click a button, and I see and can search my entire order history. It should work the same way with government. I can login to some account, click a button, and I can see and search the transaction history of every government financial/banking account, contract, and every line item in every accounting ledger.
All that should happen is government offices should be given a standard framework that every transaction has to be entered into -- This should NOT be a problem, every office should already be entering this data into an online system for accounting reasons, they just need to modify the system, force everyone to use the same one, and publish all the data from it, and when a contract is signed, scan the documents, etc, Build the repository, make public access open and free, and people in private industry can apply their own intelligence to do detailed analysis or question the government's summary of any activity.
So now McDonald's does it, but not to themselves but to every other indie restaurant and small chain. And blocks them off the internet.
Google doesn't need to automate their response for future incidents; if McDonalds uses ads to commit a further abuse, Google can taylor their voice assistant's response to backfire against McDonalds.
The number $X spent on defense obscures the fact about how each defense dollar is spent. It may be that with an increase in efficiency, and reduction in labor force, you could reduce $X in defense by 75%, and still have just as effective a defense program, with no material sacrifice other than removing deadweight, or eliminating financial mismanagements or abuses by bureaucrats.
What the American people need is drill-down financial transparency down to the Per-Employee, Per-Contract, and Per-Product level.
We should literally know how much our government is spending on each tool, supply, or service being requisitioned, and what is included with each tool, supply, or service.

Well.... The idea is if you can declare place X a "safe space" where free-speech and microaggressions/uncomfortable messages are strictly prohibited, then the only thing you need to do next is get a process by which you can expand the size of X, until X encompasses the entire planet, and then your mission is accomplished.
Start with something simple... like a designated area.... then get expanded to something, say the size of a building, then say the size of a college campus, then get someone to declare public areas in a city safe spaces, Then get laws passed applying to places that are private venues but places of public accommodation, Finally, get progressive judges to adopt the same rules for more private spaces, then work on getting a multi-state area, finally, take it to all 50 states.
The product itself generally has to be low cost for the labor savings to have good value.
Product has to be low cost OR the traditional labor cost has to be higher. How about outsourcing some higher-end work? There are bound to be some prisoners with special skills.
The article uses a fallacy. High taxes are an Absolute condition, not a comparative condition. Just because some other countries have jumped onto this extreme taxation bandwagon does not mean taxes are suddenly low.
BASICALLY, Unreasonably high is anything above 10%.
Nope. Separating Voice input from Texting or downloading Pictures is not the purview of the FCC who regulates Solely the radio spectrum used by cell phones, Not the end user's actions.
The same rule that stops you from talking to someone also stops you from texting. And the rulemaking change got thrown out because of the complaints, like they said.
Now any household object, and even the building itself can be a data storage device......
This has security ramifications, And also ramifications for law enforcement. Occassional/Typical seizure warrant language for an investigation these days is "Any data storage device", basically data storage is a treasure trove, so anyone under investigation or potential suspicion of having information or participation in any kind of crime or illegal act will have all their data storage devices seized, in order to do forensic analysis and search all data for possible leads or connections on any pending cases, or in order to open new cases.
But if people can print data storage on ANYTHING, then EVERYTHING including clothing will have to be thoroughly examined to see if it might contain some printed-on memory.
Most people will want at least High-Definition which includes 2 screens, or the Ultra-High-Def plan that includes 4 screens.
Otherwise the people sharing are either light users, Or they've paid for a plan that adds more screens.
It's $9.99/Month for the standard plan that includes HD and 2 screens, $7.99/Month for the downgraded plan with 1 screen, and $11.99/Month for 4 screens.
In other words: It's definitely more cost-effective to share accounts and add screens to a single account if possible, than to create an entirely separate one.
It's easier for companies to hire a new person than it is to let an existing one retrain for a new position.
What the government should do is make a rule that any physical labor or work under adverse conditions such as temperatures outside the normal range of human comfort for more than 2 hours per day voids the exempt employee status, And even for exempt employees the "fixed" or "salary" amount is for no more than 40 hours average work per week over the course of a year. Companies Must meter the actual number of hours for reporting purposes when the employee is working or required to be at a work location using common automated methods. If the median number of hours per week worked for any sequential or non-sequential 2-months out of 12 months exceeds 40, or the average number of hours worked per week exceeds 40 for any 2-months out of 12 months, Then the employee can no longer be considered exempt, and the employee must be compensated at their standard salary Plus additional renumeration for all time above 40 hours at the average per-hourly rate of salary times 1.5 for office work, and times 2 for physical labor or labor under adverse environmental or hazardous conditions; If the worker is put out of commission or suffers a health problem requiring treatment due to working conditions, then Employer should be required to pay not only out of pocket expenses for treatment of the problem, But also for lost wages due to time worker is out of commission, And laying them off or dismissing them based on productivity or their physical limitations should be barred/prohibited, if they were a salaried or exempt employee.
publishers may attempt to restrict access and require licensing of usage for usage; it doesn't mean the restrictions are legally defensible.
What do you mean? If they don't provide you access and require you sign a contract before you get access, then you are bound by the contract terms in your use and sharing of the data.
Also, the publishers can copyright the work in a country that has a Database directive, and then utilize the international Copyright treaties to enforce their rights in other countries such as the US.
