FTS: Apex manages the workers it hires -- not Apple. "Following an inquiry from Bloomberg News, the company says, it conducted a surprise audit of the Hammerwood facility and found a work environment consistent with other Apple locations," reports Bloomberg.
"Like we do with other suppliers, we will work with Apex to review their management systems, including recruiting and termination protocols, to ensure the terms and conditions of employment are transparent and clearly communicated to workers in advance," an Apple spokesperson says in a statement.
Translation: This work site is just as shitty as all our others, and the fact that employees are booted without provocation or notice has been clearly communicated.
On the other hand, the contract work I've done in Raleigh, NC has paid less that the full-time positions. When the market is down, it is sometimes all you can get, and they lure you in with the contract-to-hire lie. I let Cisco drag me through that for three years. Had the full-time guys telling me that contractors weren't as good, because they weren't "dedicated". He was a little sheepish when I explicitly gave him the low down on what it was like to be cannon fodder for layoffs when you were trying to support a family. After three years, I interviewed for a position that came open, and I was told that I was not smart enough to work there. I was gone a week later.
I will not talk to a company that wants to play the contract-to-hire game now. My life is to short to be wasting time with that bullshit. If I do sign up for a contract gig, it will just be a holdover and I'll be looking for a way out the entire time.
The problem I see with NN is that Spectrum, my ISP, doesn't own the whole network.
I've purchased 150Mbps. I should be able to use that any way I want. I decide that I'm going to allocate it to a 150Mbps stream to Amazon Prime. My neighbor, having purchased the same plan, wants a 150Mbps stream to Pornhub (and who could blame him?).
Both of these service sit outside of Spectrum's network (because....reasons), and Spectrum only has a 200Mbps channel that connects to the network holding those two services.
This is an actual question: Who wins?
What about my third neighbor who wants to video chat for a conference so she doesn't have to drive to work? Also on the other side of that 200Mbps link.
You make a valid point. Maybe it would be a help to have family counselors at meetings. It would be a case where everyone involved could come to the realization of all the factors that landed them all there. I would even go so far as to say that a history of healthy family meetings would be evidence for early release.
One thing for sure is that people will often do things (or NOT do things, as the case may be) for other people that they wouldn't do for themselves. Big, bad gang-banger is going to break down to tears when he sees what his prison sentence is doing to his baby daughter. If he isn't broken by that, put his ass under the jail. That psychopath doesn't deserve clemency. It's our commitments to others that make us better people.
Holding them to obligations? When is the government going to take over the communication lines like they should?
Communication infrastructure, like the roads: - only make sense when everyone is connected -require the government to use the power of imminent domain to implement -and provide the venue for holding a market.
The communication infrastructure is a poster child for something that the government SHOULD be doing. Government is the grease of society. It should come into play when members of society must grind up against each other. Government shouldn't provide service (yes, I think the Postal Service should go away), but it should provide a "town square" such that services can be provided.
Because it is more important to have neutrality on you 10Mbps than to have a competitor that will give you Netflix at 150Mbps and everything else at 50Mbps?
That is quite literally socialist thinking there. "Everybody should be equally poor."
The sarcasm is lame when you consider that your access is limited to one provider because of regulation. But, you just keep swimming in your willful ignorance.
And of course, the idea that the speed limit is simply too low is never even considered.
One thing I don't understand about the US is that almost everyone drives 5-10mph over the speed limit, no more, no less. I mean, if you care, why not drive at the speed written on the sign? It the tip culture so well established that you also need to tip speed limits?
That is an artifact of the way most insurance and the law are structured. Up to 10mph over, you basically get a finger wagged at you. Over that, and you get points against your license and your insurance gets exponentially more expensive. You'll lose your license for a time if you get to many points against it.
I drove a truck in a previous life. One of the big discussions was truckers using the CB to alert other trucks about the "bear taking pictures". One honest cop interviewed said that his police division loved it. They'd set up a check-point for a few hours, and sometimes they'd still be hearing the warnings the next day. As you said, "Mission accomplished."
When did Fakebook receive a commission to fight terrorism and child abuse? If they have been doing such, how many convictions have they contributed to?
This is kind of like finding a crack in an individual Airbus A380 wing; it's not very big compared to the wing's 420 m^2 area, and this is just one wing on one out of hundreds of A380 in service. That doesn't make it a small deal.
It's not a small deal unless they can determine WHY there is that water flow occuring. If the A380 in question had just ran into the side of the terminal, the crack in its wing spar would not matter to the remainder of the fleet, and *might* not even be a big to this one (though, most likely it would). More interesting would be a crack in the nose gear after a particularly hard landing. This would be more likely to have ramifications for the whole fleet, since a hard landing doesn't leave the sort of evidence that hitting a terminal does. A crack in the nose gear would definitely indicate a need for a fleetwide inspection.
What would cause local melting under the ice? Volcano maybe?
...90% marginal tax rates, and nationalizing all US health care...
The number is 70%, and nobody has ever talked about nationalizing all health care.
The Blaze points out who was talking about 90% rates, and, as a bonus, why they are stupid.
The nationalized healthcare falls under the euphanism "medicare for all". Before you spew your garbage laden nonsense at others, learn to use Google for a second.
Yes. Unfortunately, colleges have construed points of view and even facts that threaten their worldview as violence. The school boy's MAGA hats were construed as a threat of violence.
Wish it weren't true, but you literally can't make this stuff up.

I didn't even know that the Creeks had a written language. Did they take a hint from the Cherokee's Sequoyah?

It blocks the hones thieves.
As a hobbyist machinist, I use a proper fucking measurement, and SAE serves me just fine since they allow me the specificity I desire.
Frequently, people also leave out that the loan was restructured under Obama to illegally put repayment of his campaign donor before the taxpayer.

Sucks to be you. Try moving side to side next time.
You were wrong. The left LOVES stereotyping. They always have. What they don't like is BEING STEREOTYPE. Especially, if the stereotype is correct.
The sarcasm is lame when you consider that your access is limited to one provider because of regulation. But, you just keep swimming in your willful ignorance.
And that is a good thing. Democracy is nothing more than mob rule.
What the actual eff?

No, the proper solution is to record the issue address when receiving a cookie, and only returning the value to that single IP.
