Fuck off. It means exactly what I and others think it means. What you and the other fascists who run around ridiculing others for is for objecting to the blatant over reach and Police State tactics employed by the FORMERLY FREE United States of America by implying that we should have no expectations of "privacy", nor any "rights" at all for that matter.
So while you and I both know that America is nothing short of a Fascist Police State, on Paper it's supposed to be a Free Society and though the Interests of a Corporate Personhood outweighs the rights of a "citizen" -- In this case, the "citizen" is correct and shall be awarded damages for this intrusion into her "privacy" and violation of Labor Code.
Require all employers who hire an H1-B to pay TOP MARKET RATE for their region for the position they hire that person for.Additionally, require the employer initiate and cover all costs of Naturalization of the H1-B employee after 1 year or rescind H1-B status and send them home.
A per worker fee that is large enough to cover teh cost of oversight should be required for each H1-B worker hired. This could be handled through ICE -- the same as they handle Green Card Applicants -- just perform random interviews and checks on the H1-B workers to ensure they are indeed working in the job capacity they were documented as and are indeed receiving the appropriate level of pay. Deviation should result in hefty fines the first time ($100,000 or more per incident) with severe penalties after repeated incidents ($1,000,000+ fines and revocation of all H1-B permits and inability to obtain future permits)
This way, we can be sure H1-Bs will indeed be a highly skilled and specialized worker hired because there is no local equivalent and that the H1-B worker is not exploited as a cheap labor source and given all employee accommodations as required under law.
Developing code for their product on their dime? You are already getting paid and everything you do on their equipment, their time under their roof is theirs.
Don't like it? Then find a way to do it on your own time, at home, with your own computer with their written permission. Can't do that? Then quit and do it on your own.
But get this through your head: AS AN EMPLOYEE EVERYTHING YOU PRODUCE IS OWNED BY YOUR EMPLOYER -- THAT IS WHY THEY ARE PAYING YOU -- THEY DO NOT PAY YOU BECAUSE THEY LIKE YOU -- THEY PAY YOU FOR OUTPUT
Got it? If so, please share with the rest of the entitled butt-hurt millennials who think they got a job solely because they "deserve it".
By that definition, shoplifters should get 20-30 years. You are one fucked up individual if you think these twerps deserve what amounts to a life sentence over grabbing some nudies. Three to Five years? Sure -- but people like you who support these totalitarian policies are the reason why our country is turning into a Fascist Police State. So fuck you very much for helping to burn our freedoms to the ground you fuck.
Not at all. You don't see laws revoking water and electricity as punishment. In fact, presently it's quite common -- if not standard practice to take away internet and computer access for 3 - 5 years as a condition for parole. Making the Internet a utility would end that as it would raise Constitutional challenges.
Take your sense of morality and shove it right up your ass. What about punishment fitting the crime? And what about this glaring double standard between the Fascist US Gov't who knowingly hacks systems all over the world bringing "justice" upon a couple twerps for doing the same thing they do? I don't hear anyone calling for them not to get their wrist slapped -- but 30 years in prison and a half million or more in fines? You have no morality at all if you think that is in anyway fair or just. And those who talk about the criminality of not being a decent human being usually turn out to be very disgusting and disturbed individuals.
So it only goes that they receive a fate worse than death. Place them under house arrest and block all network access except to 4chan -- which they shall be forced to moderate. To ensure they actively moderate, they will wear a shock collar around their neck which will administer increasingly painful jolts to prod them into action
No, what's being talked about is the people who WORK for Amazon and other Tech Companies that are "revitalizing" perfectly fine neighborhoods with new development that clashes with the existing community.
Plenty of MS employees lived in Seattle -- hell Metro created an entire express Bus Route from the shiny new Bus Tunnel on Olive Way over the 520 right to MS HQ
They were happy to buy existing and upgrade homes in Seattle rather than tear them down to build something more "modern" in a neighborhood built and designed at the turn of the 19th century for Middle Class families -- back when middle class meant being a butcher, policeman or other lower skilled worker or tradesman.
Because with MS most of the Developers bought shiny new McMansions built in Redmond, Issaquah, Bellevue and Mercer Island -- new development that expanded communities in the Eastside rather than tearing down historic neighborhoods that didn't need "revitalizing".
Ever heard of Hoover? Guy ran the FBI like the Secret Police, spying on anyone and everyone of even the slightest significance regardless of their actually having committed any crime.
America loves to say "innocent until proven guilty" but our Law Enforcement and Intelligence Agencies have always taken the stance that everyone is a criminal
Why should we let criminals have secure and encrypted communication?
What the fuck are you carrying on about? What lease? What don't I own?
I have local copies of all media I've purchased through the iTunes Store. I have backups on my NAS as well.
The only thing I need the iTunes Store for is when it comes to downloading that content it via the iTunes store to a new device.
That's not a lease -- that's a FREE BACKUP of my purchases which allows me to add my owned media to other devices with iTunes via the iTunes Store.
But hey -- don't let that stop you from posting FUD and BS about Apple at every opportunity.
Wow -- talk about a complete divorce from reality. I'd love to sit you down with a teabagger and sell popcorn and peanuts while you two slung a furious slew of ad hominems, red herrings and straw men at each other. Because, that was pretty much the entirety of your post. Logical fallacy much?
This small minded holier than thou mentality is exactly why I want to kick all Progressives in the teeth.
Progressives are liberal idiots who are every bit as bad as the Teabaggers. While the Teabaggers are Fascists, Progressives are Authoritarians who want the Government to impose their ideologies on everyone else by dictating how we live our lives through bans, criminalization and punitive taxation. Essentially, just one big platform telling us what to eat, what to drink, and how to do it while they loudly proclaim how we need to respect THEIR rights -- while they respect no one else's.
I'm very put off by this since mobile friendly can mean different things.
Are they looking for media queries in CSS? Popular responsive frameworks such as Bootstrap or Foundation?
Or is is "discrete" UIs only, such as a mobile.mysite.com with a completely overhauled interface?
And just how friendly is friendly? By what standards are they applying this from a UX perspective if at all?
Is Google now trying to be the Mall cop of the internet?
I suspect that this is a ruse to give Google another avenue of plausible deniability for obfuscating sites they don't like or who compete with Google properties.
I'm sure it must be pretty damn good since it has "HyperX" and "Predator" in the name, which is always an indication of high quality and reliability. But I can't be absolutely sure it's the absolute best unless it has flames on the logo.
Ohh FFS -- that was at the initial launch and not done as a fuck you but simply because they were more interested in just getting the new product and OS out the door.
Initially, Apps were JS based and highly sandboxed. But they realized that Devs wanted something better and Apple set themselves to creating an entire Development Platform and App Store to support that.
So any claims that Apple is somehow hostile to developers is utter BS.
If anything, Apple stands to make millions off 3rd party Apple Watch Apps in regards to App Store and In-App Purchases.
Why do people believe in an Invisible Sky Wizard?
Why do people play the lottery?
It's called Hope and as irrational and non-sensical as it may be it's an essential part of the Human condition.
I was not implying that they should start from scratch. Just that "close" here is not "close" in terms of a workable solution as the summary had indicated they were close to having the problem solved. And in respect to the summary, I meant only that they are still a long ways off from having a reliable vehicle.
While I get your point -- I find it disingenuous in this case as it takes a very simple statement to a very radical conclusion and out of context.
And because of that, I have had to waste more time explaining something I should not have had to explain in the first place.

Why would MS ever copy Apple? How idiotic. Everyone knows MS is the innovator and all Apple innovates is TV ads.

No, pretty soon they're going to drop the pretense and just start calling it what it is: "War on the People"

Damn, that receptionist must have been seriously hot
Now if you could finally come up with a cooking preset to get Hot Pocket and Burritos to cook evenly without an ice-cold center
Give these Lawmakers more money! Fund Elections of new Lawmakers to replace all those who will not do our bidding! Fly my Lobbyists, fly!

First off, does that even mean anything? What units is the "scale" of a universe expressed in?
I'm a bit rusty in my maths - but I'm fairly certain mega-volkswagons are the currently used scale
I'm sure it must be pretty damn good since it has "HyperX" and "Predator" in the name, which is always an indication of high quality and reliability. But I can't be absolutely sure it's the absolute best unless it has flames on the logo.
I'm actually working on Apple Watch integration for App that allows you to do exactly that
Ohh FFS -- that was at the initial launch and not done as a fuck you but simply because they were more interested in just getting the new product and OS out the door.
