I will not speak of Amazon's data policies but the ALA to a man, woman, or other will SLAM their fist down upon the drive wipe button if someone comes in thinking their warrant means something. This isn't just a threat, many did as soon as "The Patriot Act" was even being considered.
" the majority of illegals in America are here not because their nation is at war (i.e. refugee), but are here to make more money than they would in their own nation."
So are the legals (H-1B), can't really blame them, can you? I'll bet, if you lived in a "sh*thole country", you'd try the exact same thing. I know I would.
Now, if you're looking for someone to blame, how about looking closely at those who use the H-1B as a way of importing cheap labor, while coming up with clever ways to claim "there aren't enough qualified tech people in the US". Sure there are, I'm sitting next to one right now -- a recent EE grad from a well-known local university. He won't work for peanuts, though, which is what you can pay an H-1B.
This country was built by immigrants, legal and otherwise. They work harder than many US citizens. Quit running them down, it makes you look like a xenophobic racist.
I'd like to see this rule applied to banks, and other large corporations when they're caught violating the laws.
Also: one down, how many gazillion of these bottom dwelling worms to go? I'm still getting 2 or 3 robocalls a day with faked caller ID on my cellphone.

Really? Because I've never seen one that couldn't immediately be pegged as a 419 scam. The stilted and over formal English is one clue, the almost constant use of a first name for both first and last names ("Dr Thomas James") and the use of impressive titles for people who are in a mundane job (Rev Dr [guy who distributes checks]) are indications.
And, of course, the need for a small payment, regardless of how large and official the organization and sum being discussed may happen to be.

My son briefly worked as a "manager" in a warehouse in Seattle/Tacoma several years ago. His stories to us about a "driven" work environment correspond with what's in the article. Needless to say, he's not there any more. It wasn't a voluntary departure.
And I'm sure all the offers frm "Amazon Marketplace" sellers will be full potency, guaranteed equivalent generics, and contain absolutely no sawdust, melamine or industrial waste.
I work in a design company. I have yet to work on a project where the planning phase accurately described the work required. Since we're always working on something that's never been done before, "stuff" comes up during the design process, and quite often, the customer's anticipated requirements need to change. Ideally, this would be a scope change, and we'd modify the dates accordingly. This sometimes happens, but as often as not, there's some kind of hard deadline: a trade show, investor meeting, or the like, at the end of the schedule.
So..late nights, weekends and whatever it takes. We bill for it, we get paid, and the client's happy. The managers and the employees know this and try to avoid having it happen, but it does, and adjustments to folk's working hours are made in the opposite direction when the crisis is over. And this doesn't happen on a weekly basis. More like once every year or two. It's definitely not a regular thing and doesn't happen on every project. It's good to work for a company that "gets it" in this respect.
Same here. My boss wouldn't call without a darn good reason. In addition, if the shit hits the fan I'd MUCH rather fix it than have someone else TRY to fix it and leave me with a much bigger mess to clean up in the morning.
I've told my boss PLEASE call (or message) me because it's much easier for me to spend 10 minutes properly diagnosing a problem and fixing it, rather than try to figure out wtf all a co-worker did while randomly trying this and that at random hoping to make the problem go away.
===
Heck, even my FORMER my boss, as I was leaving that job, I told them several times - you'll probably run into one or two situations where you have this choice: A) you spend five hours trying to figure out what Ray did B) I spend five minutes answering their email, answering their question I'd much rather me spend 5 minutes answering their question than they spend 5 hours trying to figure it out without asking me.
Of course the old employer left me on as a "hourly employee" at a high rate of $xxx/hour, just in case they needed a couple hours of my time. At well over $100/hour, I'm happy to leave open the possibility of doing a little work for them. Even giving them a few minutes of my time for free.
As it turned out, I think they had one five-minute question for me, and once I asked them to send me a copy of a bit of code I'd written for them because it was a good example of a concept I wanted to demonstrate.
Now, THIS ^^^ is how a boss/employee professional relationship should work.
I, too, am privileged to work for a fair, knowledgeable boss, and we respect each other's skills and abilities. If he calls me on the weekend, it's important, and I don't mind taking a little time to straighten out whatever it is. In earlier times, this kind of responsibility was taken into account at salary review time, but in the past 15 years, the MBAs have infiltrated themselves into management and the review process so thoroughly that unless your talents include walking on water, it's cost-of-living or less at raise time, regardless of your contribution during the previous year. The relationships you build, though, may be useful in your next employment search.
See, kids? See what happens when you drop out of college?
Don't be like Elizabeth, who thought she was smarter than everyone else. Stay in school, get that degree. You might, just possibly, learn something along the way. (after all, that's kinda the point of the exercise)
I have a Hotmail address. It's the one I give out when ordering stuff and to businesses that ask for one. I expect it to get spammed. I have a gmail address for personal stuff...and a work email for work stuff...and an email provided by my ISP, which I hardly ever use.
(and four or five throw-away email accounts for stuff I don't want connected with me)
I'm not sure why any of these addresses show me to be more or less likely to make an insurance claim. Thankfully, my insurance company doesn't have my email address, they have my wife's.
I know very smart people who are a pleasure to be with, and I know very smart people who I avoid talking to unless I have to.
Smart does not equal personable. That being said, I'd rather have an intelligent leader who's psychologically well-adjusted, than a "man of the people" who thinks he's the country's savior, but actually couldn't think his way out of a paper bag....which gives me an idea. Anyone got an extra-large paper bag and some tape?

DO NOT piss off a librarian! They are some of the staunchest defenders of civil rights in the country.
Books in libraries are also available, for free, to those who don't own fancy electronic book readers.
Public libraries are one of the great things about America...free to all, no questions asked.
- fair notice: my daughter is a middle school librarian
Encrypted data is not information.
As long as you know the key, it is.
It's only random bits (and therefore, not information, if you've forgotten the key)
You know those EZ-Pass toll readers? They log your plate as well. I'd be willing to bet ICE has access to that data.

Well, since the air we breathe is something like 85% nitrogen, why not just sub Nitrogen for CO2?

Yeah, no.
PO number and invoice number, please, boss. And I've checked the system and there are no outstanding invoices from [companyname].
Has to go out today? To an account we don't have in our system? How come?
All you need are some very basic processes to keep this from working.

No need to create complicated AI chips. Just use brains from convicts.
But, please...not "ABNORMAL" ones
Pretty much every keying system that allows a master key, is vulnerable to that master being duplicated.
And figuring out the master is not particularly difficult.
Even less so, when there is no mechanical difference between a unit key and a master.

Just put a phone in his cell and give out the number. Problem solved.

If you take away everything that could offend someone from Blazing Saddles, what's left is little more than a 2-minute trailer.
It's twoo! It's twoo!
RIP, Clevon Little.
And this confirms that I made the correct decision.
In my world, offensive speech is not a value worth protecting.
Two words that rarely appear in close proximity.

Launch a new service Uber EMT. They could get there faster. And there would be less chance the cops would show up with them to shoot your dogs.
...and while they're at it, better looking ambulance attendants.
Perhaps a new phone number that's easier to remember...like 0118-999-88199-9119-725....3?
