    It is your job to stop lying about people doing the wrong thing when faced with evidence that they did in fact do the things that you say they were stupid not to do.

    It worse than that: the referee suggested that it might be salvageable, but Bengtsson couldn't be bothered.

    So instead of using an alternative to text messages, Apple should use an alternative to text messages?

    Apple acknowledges the problem... but what do they know about Apple products?

    There was a bridge and an approach highway. The money for the bridge was re-assignable, so it was used for another project. The money for the highway could not be used for another project, so it was built anyway rather than give up the money.

  8. Re:Time for a union that is only way to get the po on Plaintiff In Tech Hiring Suit Asks Judge To Reject Settlement · · Score: 1

    The LP wishes to allow the employer to no recognize a union but they leave in place the implicit requirement of a union to recognize the employer. This would enshrine in law an asymmetrical power structure where labor must recognize capital organization but capital may ignore labor organization. They would "permit" unions in only the most useless of ways by by negating any of their possible functions. If negotiations do not go capital's way they may merely stop recognizing the labor organization that it was negotiating with; labor would possess no such ability.

    There are several intersections near where I live where about 1/3 of the time I end up turning back when walking because of that. People making left turns from the minor street to the major street waive me across and then start turning at speed, so that if I keep going I can get hit.

  17. Re:Stopping and thinking on Traffic Optimization: Cyclists Should Roll Past Stop Signs, Pause At Red Lights · · Score: 1

    It is a largely moot argument, since cars are almost never a) going slower than the maximum posted speed for the road, while 2) in a position where they could go faster.

    In addition, the person you quoted did not say they were accelerating. The described action was maintaining non-zero speed rather than stopping.

  18. Backwards on U.S. Passenger Jet Nearly Collided With Drone In March · · Score: 1

    "a small, remote-controlled aircraft was nearly struck by an American Airlines passenger jet "

    In what way is it correct to say the AA jet nearly struck the RC aircraft and not the other way around? The jet was where it was supposed to be, doing what it was supposed to do. The RC aircraft was the one out of place so it should be considered the offending craft.

    " It's a common misconception that the US national debt is necessarily a bad thing."

    I am old enough to remember when it was a concern among serious people that if the US paid down too much of the national debt that the lack of Treasuries in circulation could have a destabilizing effect on the world economy.

    Then again, I am also old enough to remember when is was a concern among unserious people that the Japanese might own everything in the US.

  22. Necessary waste on Ask Slashdot: Does Your Job Need To Exist? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Let me introduce you to toe concept of "necessary waste".

    In your business process, there is some limiting factor that is directly tied to how much you can produce: if had some more of that factor you could produce more, and if you run out you produce less.Maybe it's some machinery for which you can't yet swing the financing to get more units; maybe it's a skill for which there aren't many people tried for yet. If you can't get more, then your next move is to make sure you are utilizing that limiting factor as much as possible.

    That means that the other factors that are inputs or outputs of the limiting factor need to be ready and waiting to make sure the limiting factor is never idle. If you are an input you need to have work prepared but your average rate can never exceed what the limiting factor can consume. If you consume an output of the limiting factor you need to be ready to pick up what the limiting factor gives you.

    If reduce the labor available for the inputs and outputs then you run the risk of creating artificial limits on your business process. You can actually be less productive when you try to eliminate idleness if you don't know WHY things were idle. Idleness isn't actually your target, it is productivity.

    Of course, all of this flies in the face of the slashdot conventional wisdom that management provides zero contribution to productivity.
