California!? What do they know? Oh yeah, how to build a economic powerhouse that respects cultural diversity.
Not exactly. The fact that several high value tech companies decided to locate somewhere over there has more to do with mundane things (like weather and geography) than any political factors. If New England was one state instead of several, you'd see basically the same landmass only with a bigger economy.
No he's not inventing one, rather he's just observing a commonly held one.
That, and it's really absurd to label this as a racism thing as in TFS when Islam isn't a race. Besides, this won't happen anyways because it's a pretty clear violation of the first amendment's establishment clause.
And my tagline reflects what a lot of us are saying - you have a problem with it, that's not my problem. Maybe if you were less of a know-ot-all on that topic and instead found out how others feel, you might not be so irritated. Some things are pretty black-and-white. This is one of them.
No, GP is correct. You practically never acknowledge that you got something wrong, and when somebody calls you out on it, you just carry out the conversation as if you never said it. I myself have caught you at this numerous times.
Unless the lunch breaks were paid lunches (which I kind of doubt because that is atypical in retail) then how would you figure that?
Personally, when I worked retail I didn't like lunch breaks specifically because they were unpaid. I would have rather just had a shorter shift. Though more importantly, retail jobs suck, and I swear to god I'll never work another retail job again, even if it paid really well. I worked at Staples, and constantly shifting between moving freight and helping customers was frustrating (I would rather have done one or the other rather than having to constantly be mindful of both.) I can't imagine how much it must suck working for Apple with the type of rude assfuck customers they get there.
That's the dumbest idea I've heard yet for a solution to this. You can't ban something from the internet on an application basis, (and yes, IoT is just another application as far as the internet is concerned) otherwise that sets a precedent for banning practically anything that governments or whoever doesn't like. The MPAA for example would be able to justify banning things like youtube and bittorrent.
A lot of people think "not-for-profit" means you don't make a profit, which is totally false. All it really means is that basically nobody owns it, and any revenue they make above their costs just ends up going to its employees, or alternatively, being dispersed as grants. Given that wikipedia likely doesn't issue grants to anybody, I suspect (though I don't have any salary info) people like Jimmy Wales make a crapload of money off of wikipedia, and thus it would make sense for people like him to continue the fundraiser. Though usually these funds go to the top (i.e. CEO, president.)
For what it's worth, this is the same crap that PBS and NPR pulls, and somehow or another they get taxpayer funds on top of their donations (Paula Kerger makes $623,233 per year, Kevin Klose makes $1.2 million per year) and their affiliate broadcasters make a decent amount too (Jonathan Abbott of WGBH makes $425,000 a year.)
Though in Wikipedia's defense, the editors are voluntarily giving up resources so wikipedia can get rich. In PBS/NPRs case, many people are forced to give resources to them and basically have no say in the matter.
Actually I would say like what Google does with the Nexus lines. I also carry around an iPhone for work; I don't care how much updates they get, they still suck. And in fact, somehow their updates always manage to break shit even though I only have first party Apple apps installed.
It's for the best that they do IMO. I had a Note 4 and...damn...I'm never going with another Samsung phone again.
TouchWiz is complete crap, but I think material design is perhaps the best smartphone UI design language to exist. And, if every phone OEM kept their damn software up to date, Android would be perfect.
You don't work in healthcare do you? What the MD says is what you do. Unless you are willing to back it up with a thesis, which gets tiring. Sure there may be some management that can make some decisions but those are only ones that don't directly affect the MDs
I do work in healthcare, and no, MDs don't tell us (IT) how to run day to day stuff. They will ask us to support certain applications, but they leave it up to us for how we implement them, secure them, etc.
It's feminists who are pissed off about FB's ban on non-sexual images that (gasp!) involve a breast.
I think you're misinterpreting what I'm saying. People are getting tired of being pressured to go against the grain of their biology just because it offends somebody else, and the mere fact that you're a minority can be used to justify your sins. These things, IMO, have resulted in the alt-right.
I can't help but think that the alt-right movement is a symptom of that. That, and I think you can only try to feminize society so much before you'll get a reaction, which is also what this is. We live in a world where a guy can kill somebody while reckless driving, sue some of the people that he injured, and then suddenly he's a brave hero because he has gender identity disorder and got a sex change.
You could stop thinking about yourself for a second and whether or not you can have a one or two story house on the beach when you retire. Try helping people and donate a tiny fraction of the ridiculous amount of money you have.
Uhh...you know there's an income limit for 401k, right? The maximum income you can make to be allowed to contribute anything is $132,000 if you're single. That's far from being able to afford a house on the beach. And even then, the maximum you can put in your 401k each year is $18,000 per year with roth being $5,500 per year (meaning you can contribute up to $23,000 per year.)
Between work and other stuff I do, I make about $80k per year, with my 401k contribution set to 20%, AND, I very aggressively save my money for the ultimate purpose of paying cash on a house in suburban Phoenix. I have to live very cheaply just to do this, and I'm not doing it just to give it away. I have stage 4 CKD, which could soon render me unable to work, so this is prudent financial planning.
I'm part of the problem because I'm doing the responsible thing by investing in a 401k?
I don't know about you, but I'm not going to bank on social security giving me just enough money to afford to live in an old folks' home. In case you haven't noticed, social security by design isn't intended to be enough to survive off of in retirement.
That probably explains why my RERFX investment is performing like shit compared to everything else I have. I think I'll probably trade it for DODGX, or maybe something Asian based just to maintain a foreign holding.
I have a cousin who worked as a delivery driver for Amazon Now, contracted through some no-name third party company. He said he really liked it because in a typical day he made between $200 and $300 in wage+tips, but after the media did an "expose" on the fact that Amazon was treating them as contract-for-hire with no benefits, then suddenly he stopped getting work.
Nobody was forcing him to do that work, but whistleblowing like this likely did force him to stop.
Either way, the government sure goes out of its way to make sure people don't get high.
But at the end of the day, we all have our poisons. A college student has their weed, a business exec has their coke, a trailer park resident has their meth, and a hippie has their LSD. I of course, am a gamer, so my poison is sugary sodas. I got off of it for a while and thought my addiction was gone, but then I started using again recently, and strangely the DEA doesn't mind in my case.

Of course, because as everybody knows, you just can't hate Hillary's politics without also hating all women.

Don't these cars have the ability to self-park? Why not the ability to move themselves and park away from the charger when they're finished?
Well, nuclear winter would cancel out global warming.

So then maybe we have an excuse to have flying cars after all.

Better yet, I'd just say that it's your duty to use an ad blocker, mich like it was to use antivirus software in the past.

Did I not convey that properly?
If you're married, you can make up to $186,000.

If you order something on Amazon Now, there's a field to put in the tip with a mandatory $5 minimum.
That probably explains why my RERFX investment is performing like shit compared to everything else I have. I think I'll probably trade it for DODGX, or maybe something Asian based just to maintain a foreign holding.

I know, we should take all of the 32-bit users and hide their left shoes and stomp on their pets.

I disabled cortana because she's a nazi sympathizer.
