Only if one is willing to ADMIT to what they did and pay the price, but you do it within the system FIRST. Manning didn't do it the right way, he went rouge bypassed the system and broke the law AND his oath in my view. It was double bad that he was enlisted in the military at the time. You CANNOT refuse an order in the military unless it is CLEARLY unlawful, Manning disobeyed lawful orders, violated his oath, violated the law, and arguably committed treason while in uniform.
My understanding is that it was in fact her duty. Something in the oath she took about defending against threats to the United States, foreign and domestic.
Yet Manning signed a non-disclosure agreement which Manning decided didn't apply. In the process Manning exposed classified information about methods and collection activities which gave the USA's adversaries the ability to avoid collection and may have cost the lives of human assets involved in the collections. Manning also caused grave damage to international relations....
So I have a question... What was the big story yesterday about Trump and the meeting with the Russians all about? How are they similar?
The total cost of ownership of EV's is NOT on par with gasoline.... Yet... And I don't think this will change soon enough to make us all give up our fossil fueled conveyances within 8 years.
The up front cost of purchasing the EV is considerably higher and last time I looked at it the cost recovery time exceeded the expected life of the vehicle's major component (the batteries). Now last time I looked gasoline was $3+ / Gal. Now, with gasoline about $2 / Gal the cost benefit is going to be even worse, unless the EV prices have fallen by 30% or so, and I don't believe that's happened.
Not to mention that it's a false statement that EV's don't burn fossil fuels.... Actually they do... They burn Coal and Natural Gas to produce electricity to charge that EV don't they?
Not going to happen in the USA, no way, no how. This "researcher" is an idiot.
There is too much oil out there, especially in North America. Then, once we get though all that, there is a couple million boat loads of Natural Gas what will make a great motor fuel. It's going to take more than 8 years to burn all that, or make it economically viable to do anything else. Until it's cheaper to do something else, it's not going to happen. Surely they teach this stuff at Stanford... Right?
Oh, you think electricity will be cheaper???? So, until Fusion becomes the thing, I don't see how that happens... There isn't that much sunshine or places to build windmills..
I don't know what these people are smoking, but it's got to be some good stuff growing over there at Stanford's economics department...
'president' Trump for all your hard work at divulging Top Secret information to the Russians.
Trump is a traitor and anyone who voted for Trump is also a FUCKING TRAITOR!
First.... No he didn't. The National Security Adviser was in the meeting and didn't agree that anything classified was inappropriately disclosed to the Russians... Second, this is all based on an "anonymous source" who blabbed to the press for reasons we don't know (It could have been made up even). Third, the president has the authority to disclose any classified information he chooses to whomever he chooses because all of the authority to classify information flows to the holder of the office.
So calm down, take a deep breath and relax.
BTW.. Did you hear about the DNC staffer who was murdered in DC about a year ago? Looks for all the world like this DNC staffer was the source of the DNC E-mail dump to WikiLeaks who offered a reward for information about who killed him ($20K).... This is a MUCH bigger story...
Shesh... You haven't seen today's Fords I guess... They had worked most of the kinks out way back in the late 90's (Yes I owned a 2000 Expedition that went 150K before it got totaled w/o much fuss...) My current 2016 F150 shows no signs of being a problem yet either...
I here ya... My base model 150 is quite a bit better than 70's technology. The engine, body weight all contribute to make the small v6 perform yet still get reasonable gas mileage, even for a huge truck. Had this been built with 70's components, I'd be getting half the mileage and have half the performance.
"as it works to boost profits and its sliding stock price,"
Ugh... why can't businesses go back to the model of taking care of their employees and figuring out how to build better products to increase profits and their stock instead of always going for the short-term solution of axing payroll....
Boys will be Boys and have their fun... Time to hire some men who have matured and have some respect for others I guess.. Of course, if management is full of boys instead of men.. Have fun trying to fix this.
What is this culture thing where women are treated this way? My father taught me to respect women both by respecting my mother and insisting I do the same. Come on boys, grow up...
There are cheaper devices called back braces that are already in use with proven effectiveness at exactly the same protective purpose. Look at the pictures in the article, it is the red cloth apron-like garment worn by all workers.
And if you look at the pictures, this device IS a back brace too.... But braces don't ensure proper posture... I think this device does.
So... You don't think this thing just MIGHT help maintain the right posture while lifting? We are going to have to disagree on that. I think the device does help in maintaining the correct posture, if for no other reason than the subconscious affect of having the thing on...
BTW.. Sorry if my language was imprecise about the back being involved in lifting. The way the correct posture is taught is by saying "Don't use your back, use your legs to lift." Of course the back is involved, but it should be as straight and vertical as possible so the load is transferred as evenly as possible though your back. Really, what you want to accomplish is to keep your back STRAIGHT and use your legs to lift the load, this device obviously encourages that posture..
Are you really helping workers if, once given the exoskeleton, you expect them to lift much heavier items more often?
In this case, it looks to me that the benefit to the workers and company is that the device keeps the worker's back straight and enforces good lifting posture. Where I see how it can help some with the load, it's not going to really be that helpful. However, enforcing good posture will be effective in reducing back injuries it will be a huge benefit to both the company (and it's workers compensation insurance costs) and employees.
I don't think so, unless you are lifting wrong to start with... My guess is that this thing really enforces good posture when lifting, which shouldn't involve your back, which should be as straight and as vertical as possible at all times. ALWAYS lift with your legs, so your back shouldn't "work" much at all... This thing pretty much makes bending your back hard (at least that's what it looks like to me). It's more like a brace that keeps the back straight...
No way! I will NOT allow windows to just install updates into my production environment... Yes, I know it is a risk to leave systems unpatched, but given the frequency of Microsoft breaking my systems with their patches, the risk of downtime from a security flaw is usually LESS than the risk of having some exploit that causes down time.
However.... This doesn't mean I don't pay attention to the released updates. Oh no, we have a test system where we DO let them load as soon as they are released and a functionality and performance test that we run as soon as we can. We update only after successfully passing the test suit (and fixing any issues we found), which sometimes can take more than a week. I choose when the updates go out, not Microsoft.
So, for mission critical applications and systems, I recommend you NOT enable updates.... But I also recommend that you have resources available to test the updates and try to stay reasonably current with Microsoft's patches....
But, that's business.... At home? I generally don't turn on updates either... But I'm aware of what's coming out, so I generally know when the really important stuff gets released so I will update accordingly... Of course, I'm in charge of the In-Laws computer maintenance needs and they live in another state. For them, I have automatic updates turned on, at least until things get hosed and I have to make a multi-state trip to get them going again.
I'm *sure* if you approached M$ with enough cash, they would oblige you.. Although it's likely going to be a LOT cheaper for you to simply upgrade your OS and applications to Windows 10 (Or, if you really want to go cheap, Linux).
If you absolutely need support, you CAN get it if you are willing to pay for it. What's usually the case though is folks are unwilling to pony up the cash and choose to take their chances.
I worked for a company that had a PBX that was falling out of support by the manufacturer and although third parties supported it, they where hugely expensive. They actually dropped support for the PBX, full knowing that if it went down, it would stop the business. There was no fall back plan beyond having cell phones for some folks (back in the day when cell coverage was spotty at best.) It was stupid... Luckily I left that place before the bottom fell out, got a great severance package too...
Until he actually digs a tunnel that leaves his property, all this is just fun and games with out much point. Not to mention, where is the exit to this billion dollar boondoggle and where are all those permits you require sir? This IS California you know....
Personally, I don't care about either award.... They are all just a bunch of people in the same nutty industry getting together to pat each other on the back (or where ever).. I'm not a film maker, I don't covet their attention and I don't value their opinions about what's a good or bad film.
I didn't say they had no effect, only that given the odds going into the election she should have won hands down. Trump started his campaign behind, WAY behind.
Now if you think the E-mail exposure caused Hillary to lose a double digit lead, go and ask yourself two questions... 1. Did the Russians do this? Maybe... 2. Doesn't the campaign have SOME responsibility for tolerating such behavior that the E-mail exposed? Absolutely. This was Hillary's fault, at least in part, for allowing such behavior in her campaign.
So.. I conclude that Hillary lost this, her mistakes cost her.... She had a bit of help, but had she not made any number of serious errors, she'd be president right now. Remember the margin of victory was razor thin in the surprise states that Trump won. You can point at the Russians if you want, but in the grand scheme of things, Hillary's mistakes cost her more than the Russians did, which makes her responsible for her loss...
The Russians *tried* to mess with the election, sure.. But they messed with both sides as I recall... Sure, the exposure of the internal democratic committee's E-mails through WikiLeaks seems to have a bit more effect on the outcome, but only because of how damming they where... Who knew the democrats where the nasty cheating so and so's their E-mail showed? I sure didn't dream they where that kind of folks... In a way, they sank themselves, albeit with Russian help.
There should have been no way Trump could win, she should have toasted him by more than double digits and walked away with nearly every electoral vote out there, But, even though she out spent, out ground gamed, had more experience and had a less contested primary and thus a less fractured party base, she didn't win.
Face it, she gave this election away... SHE lost it all by herself. The Russians didn't take it, Comey didn't take it, The Donald didn't take it (how could he?), she just lost it. The Russians didn't do her any favors, nor in the long run did Comey, but as heavily favored as she was going into this, there is no other place to put the blame.
Until democrats get off this "The Russians Hacked the Election and that's why Trump won" kick, they are never going to get anywhere useful..
So... You somehow think that a grand Jury talking to the fired national security adviser (fired for LYING to Pence) is evidence that Trump was colluding with the Russians or what? Flynn was a mistake to hire, we know that, but that he gets called into a grand jury doesn't imply there is anything here that involves Trump or his campaign. Of course you can draw your wild conclusions if you choose, but you are grasping at straws in my book. We don't have any knowledge about what the grand jury is investigating and they COULD be looking into some other allegations (like who was doing surveillance on Flynn's phone calls). You don't know, I don't know and we won't know unless they charge somebody for something.
But more to the point here.. How does this have ANYTHING to do with the firing of Comey? Trump cannot impede the grand jury investigation in any possible way. Firing Comey has exactly ZERO impact on this, so it would be a brain dead move to fire Comey in an attempt to stop this...
