Because Trump has stated his admiration of Putin, therefore Putin and Russia must be demonized (this from a media and administration that has done NOTHING for years following Russian invasion and occupation of Crimea, and conducted a proxy war in Ukraine).
60mins had a long piece the other weekend about how Russia could start a nuclear war. That sort of shit hasn't been prime time media since the mid 1980s.
The real reason? Simple: people are lazy as shit. If you give them a chance to slack off, they will. And that's far more likely at home than at work where a pointy-haired boss can tell you something else that needs doing.
All the rest is just hand-wavy bullshit. And it's right. I personally think "working from home" is *never* as efficient as a dedicated, isolated workspace. If you do it, it should be a level of trust you EARN from a company, certainly not start with. Plus, I think if you work from home you should get paid less, because working from home is so desirable and convenient.
And I personally have the full choice of working from home, or at my office; I've worked for the firm for 23 years, they couldn't care less. But generally, I work from the office.
"We can predict the future"...says the agency founded with the sole purpose of watching the Soviet Union, who watched it for nearly five decades, yet managed to entirely miss its collapse.
IMO the main problem here is a federal government who has their population so cowed, so subservient, that they are terrified to object at all to someone who says "I'm the gov't, send me money".
But nah, it's far easier to blame some conman in India.
Considering the HRC campaign seems to not only have the FBI, NYT, and the NY state atty general in their pocket, I'm utterly unsurprised that anyone criticizing her might be the subject of aggressive malware attacks.
If you think he actually lost $900 mill to write off $900 mill you're as dumb (or biased) as the journalists writing the story.
I don't doubt he lost money (it's not like he's EVER been even mildly competent as a businessman) but cf Hollywood Economics: (https://www.amazon.com/Hollywood-Economist-2-0-Financial-Reality/dp/1612190502) let's remember that according to the accountants, none of the LotR movies made any money at all.
A couple of points left out: - she publicly, repeatedly, INSISTED that there was no personal email server, then that it was only used for private mails, then 'not for secret stuff' etc. Her personal conduct and remonstrations during this span are very much relevant.
- hilariously, today (https://pjmedia.com/trending/2016/09/23/platte-river-networks-employee-referred-to-hilary-cover-up-operation-in-work-email/): "An employee at Platte River Networks, the company that managed Hillary Clinton's emails after she left the State Department, sent a work ticket that referred to the "Hilary [sic] coverup [sic] operation" (Hillary cover-up operation) after Clinton's team had asked the company to modify her email system so that it would automatically delete messages after 60 days."
Considering that the FBI has *already* directly said that they won't prosecute for something more obvious and worse, is ANYONE shocked by this?
Yes, a sysadmin asking generally how he can purge someone's name from emails - how could anyone/possibly/ think that had anything to do with a coverup? Clearly, you'd have to be a paranoid Republican to believe that.
Funny, I always shop elsewhere before hitting Amazon, even though I'm a Prime member and will (probably) get it from Amazon.
IIRC there was an issue some years ago about how Amazon would check your system for recent cookies from other shopping sites (like bn.com), offering better prices on the fly if it appeared you'd been shopping around. Dunno if it is still true, but really with internet shopping there's no good reason NOT to do some decent price-comparison if it's something of any great value.
This should greatly simplify the task of getting samples from under the surface. Granted, it's still a matter of timing, but flying through a plume of water 125 mi high and taking samples has got to be easier than landing and taking them.
Hell, with a flyby, it might even be possible to grab some and bring it physically back to earth.
...it is the warmest it's been for about 120k years.
Of course, it might be important to note that just about every 120k years (for about the last 3 million, at least) there's been a clear spike (in some cases near vertical in geological timeframes) in temps and co2....and the last one happened to be about 140k years ago, so we are past due.
While your IoT device may or may not be part of a botnet, the fact that you 'bought into' the nonsense idea that is the "Internet of Things" means that you, as a human, are psychologically part of a commercial-botnet where you can (apparently) be compelled to do dumb things on command.
Sure, rate the above a troll. The OP is presented begging the question that anyone disputes climate change is OBVIOUSLY an idiot, delusional, or a liar.
My point, to quote that site, is to simply review a small list of the things which are attributed to "climate change".
If one is asserting that climate change is obvious, and all these effects are attributable to climate change, then one would generally have to agree with at least *most* of these points.
If one starts from the proposition that climate change is doubtful, it must be at least reasonable to see the above list as faintly absurd, and per the quote by Karl Popper, self-discrediting.

I'm not sure a "they don't like what I like because I'm so much smarter than them" is really going to persuade anyone but the choir.

You're right, it's one sided:
Donald:
- has wikileaks on his side
HRC
- has FBI, NYT, every major paper, every major network, DNC, and GOP on her side

Sure.
...investigations will continue to the exact degree Trump either makes it close or leads the race...
Yes. Big government is pretty pervasive in its effects.
That's sort of the point.
IMO the main problem here is a federal government who has their population so cowed, so subservient, that they are terrified to object at all to someone who says "I'm the gov't, send me money".

China plans to reach Mars by 2020 and build a moon base.
Russia will put men on moon by 2030.
ALL of it (the US claims included) is bullshittery until we at least see the first heavy-lift rocket put a load into high orbit.
Considering the HRC campaign seems to not only have the FBI, NYT, and the NY state atty general in their pocket, I'm utterly unsurprised that anyone criticizing her might be the subject of aggressive malware attacks.
Sure.
This isn't one.
Agreed, but let's be clear and recognize that there's nothing immoral or unethical about avoiding tax LEGALLY.
Warren Buffet has a salary of $1; his secretary pays more income tax. Yes, that's fucked up.
Relevant to this election, do you think it's more or less likely to get fixed if we continually elect vested insiders ?
If you think he actually lost $900 mill to write off $900 mill you're as dumb (or biased) as the journalists writing the story.

"Cable companies raked in at least $1bn last year from people who really didn't need to be paying them."
Feels a little different that way.

I'm not sure in this context I'd say it's to improve the ability of their customers to "hook up" with donors.
Or maybe that's exactly what they mean.

False advertising is when a product says it has features it doesn't.
FRAUD would be more likely the term applicable for a Kickstarter that didn't provide what it promised.
In fact, one could almost suggest it's a RICO action.

...California sure spends a lot of effort protecting/catering to multi-millionaires.
