Yeah, and then the Dixiecrats changed parties and became Republicans because the Democratic national party wouldn't cow-tow to their racism like the Republican Party has since 1968.
Congress is about to pass a bill authorizing back pay. The Senate promises to reject it. The all or nothing approach from the Senate and the White house is responsible for the shutdown.
Keep telling yourself that. The rest of us know it has everything to do with John Boehner not allowing a vote on the clean CR bill that came over from the Senate.
The legitimate use of this is, "Here's a list of the top 20 things that people are really angry about." The illegitimate use is, "Here's a list of the first 20,000 people to arrest in Wuhan."
If Congress authorizes back pay for federal workers that did not work. Do you think this Congress is going to do that? It isn't even being discussed in Washington, from what I have heard.
It takes time for some things to start sucking. For instance, federal highways don't evaporate the moment you stop sending out repair and maintenance crews and most public schools have state and local money to pay staff with. But if you were looking for a passport, good luck. You can't get one until the government opens.
I heard the FDA had already stopped food safety inspections on imported food. But I think there is no way to verify that because the people you'd have to contact to tell you about it are furloughed:(
148 years ago. Try to keep up. In modern times, the GOP is the major US party attacking the civil rights of everybody who's not white, male and Christian.
Furloughed employees will not receive back pay. They are ordered not to work and can't legally do so. Employees deemed essential must work, but they won't be paid until Congress authorizes the funds.
What prevents the revenge porn site from routinely filing the copyright with the LOC?
Lack of ownership and penalties for perjury when they're caught?
Yeah, they MIGHT think that far ahead.
Probably all they have to do to protect themselves from being penalized for copyright violations is to make the person who uploads them digitally sign a form that says they have copyright to the photos they're uploading. Then they can say, "How were we supposed to know Mr. Smith was not only the kind of person that posts revenge porn of his ex girlfriend on line, but a lying douchebag?"
Rolling out a new system is like rolling out a new system. There are always teething troubles. In this case, many of those troubles were simply a result of huge demand. The system couldn't be efficient if it were sized to handle first-day demand every day.
The % that suck is observer-driven. I think that 90% suck because I'm in the 95th percentile. There are better developers that think 99% suck because they're observing from the 99.5 percentile. Since you think that only 30% of male programmers suck...well there you go.
Or not all programmers are adults. But I doubt more than 1-2% of professional programmers are under 18 because it takes time to reach a professional level.
You misunderstood the comment. TedSchopp is saying these are such fundamental questions that every Jew and Christian grapples with, even the Christ who is regarded by Christians as the incarnation of God. The saying of Jesus on the cross "Why have you forsaken me?" is very much of a piece with the existential despair of Eclesiastes. What could be worse for Jesus at that point than feeling that not only is he dying in this horrific way, but that it is a completely meaningless experience, as is the whole of his life and maybe nobody even cares what is happening to him?
Christianity is supposed to be an answer to the questions raised by Ecclesiastes. It is all about life not being futile in the big picture and God actually caring what happens to people. Without the thoughs and feelings expressed in Ecclesiastes, one would have to ask what Christian salvation is even for.
I find it the most universal of all the Judeo-Christian scriptures. It's not just Jews and Christians who must grapple with the apparent meaninglessness of life and the futility of our actions and desires. Everyone must. Every religion and philosophy, if it's worth anything at all, must address these issues.

If Aaron Schwartz is the victim in his own death, he's also the perpetrator.
Fuck off. I'm not dying my skin blue.

Again, try to keep up.

One can hope.

You're misinformed. Workers are not being paid to say at home. Those who have been told not to work will not be paid for their time.

Harassment has never been protected by the 1st Amendment.

I agree with your explanation of the copyright issues but the real question is: Where is Prenda Law when we need them?
You're essentially arguing that on-line harassment should be legal.

I don't think anyone would claim that collecting taxes isn't an indispensible function of government.
Umm, no. It means if you treat them like shit or underpay them, they'll keep right on programming, but it won't be for you.
I wonder how much of that is simply due to the stigma associated with the word "introvert."
... since about 70% of the general population is extraverted...
... it's highly credible that they're right and that the stereotype of the introverted programmer is largely inaccurate.

Keep telling yourself that, buddy.
You've never heard of children? You must not be a programmer or you'd have two or three.
