... something other than FPP voting. I favor IRV, but I'd take anything that has half a chance of getting more choices that might actually be elected into the system.
Yes. You obey it or pay the consequences. That's why civil disobedience is so powerful. You are doing something and paying the price to show that something is unjust.
Sadly, Uber (and most of their supporters) are just a bunch of whining asshats.
Well, I'll guess you'll just have to get in line behind us folks who think that just because you come up with a business idea, you still shouldn't be able to ignore laws. But I guess that's just those of us who believe in civilization.
The climate control and critter isolation work you'd have to do isn't worth the time and effort. Sealed wires, conduit, and pipe go under a house - maybe a sump pump, too, but that's it. A server? What possible benefit would there be putting it there? Frankly, if I had to crawl under my house every time I needed to fix a computer, I wouldn't have any working computers.
Agreed. Having four years of German and two years of Latin in high school cemented my grammar knowledge. I now also know enough about Latinate words to deal (sort of) w/Spanish, French, and Italian, too. Learning foreign languages is a good thing.
Poseur! If you're inputs aren't pristinely represented, you'll hear nothing except your hissy Monster cables. I knew you were a fraud when you didn't say to use this, too!
Clinton got it even worse, he actually was impeached. Yet Clinton still got things done.
Yeah. Bad things. I'm glad the Republicans tied his hands as well as they did - we would have had even more laws screwing ordinary people if he hadn't been impeached. When are the R's going to figure out the Clintons are the best politicians the R's could have in office to advance their corporate agenda? Hell, when are the D's going to figure out the same thing? Maybe that's why I'm an S. And proud to say it.
If you want to change this, don't waste your time on third parties until the time that third parties can actually win with the amount of time and effort you can put into them. Instead, focus your effort on changing the voting laws in your state to be some form of IRV or proportional representation or some other scheme that actually allows third parties to be elected. Until you have this on the ballot in your state and it is passed, anything you do with respect to third parties will be useless (other than as a "spoiler" for the party you're most like).
How about convincing people that net population growth is impossible in the long run, so let's randomly sterilize ~50% of the world population at birth until we get a handle on it or until we're down to about 1 billion people. The overshoot would take us down to about 500M before the population started to rebound, even if all people were again allowed to productively interbreed. Small enough to sustain an advanced society, hopefully small enough to exclude Kardashians.
Well, we can all say the same thing if we go back far enough, can't we? It is a sad irony that our once evolutionarily advantageous inability to see beyond what divides us to focus on the joy and beauty in all of us that make us all uniquely the same (as well as identically unique), is what might well eventually destroy us. But then I never dreamed the world I grew up in would be one in which I might actually be killed by a robot. So it goes...
Given all the talk about extending and charging, you'd think he was talking about a Model "P" rather than a Model S. But I hear that's the case for all high-priced toys.
He's my Senator, too. And I believe he's taking the correct position here, but I still think it's time for him to be replaced - he's getting older, is not the firebrand about surveillance that he could have been 20 years ago, and, frankly, has more ties to the east coast now than Oregon.
Just my 2 cents, and he's been fine - it's just time for some new blood. Frankly, I say the same thing about Merkley, who seems elderly and dull and insiderly after two terms - should've voted for Novick in the primaries..
Christ Almighty, Richard Stallman, who the hell shit in your Wheaties this morning?
You shills better get better at writing your articles - the odd shrillness of the message coupled with the vagueness about how somehow losing their project hosting injures them to this great of an extent gives you away - you've already taken the time to write the code. A bit more coding/work to migrate the projects? Dude, it's not that much work. Inconvenienced by only a year's migration time? Yes - that I could believe. Reduced to almost incoherent rage, as you seem to be? Hardly.
Well, unless you're the kind of person who thinks that depending on a cloud provider doesn't mean you still need catastrophic backup and/or migration plans for important data. Either that or you value your code far too highly. Frankly, there are often days I'd like to throw away all the code and existing machines in the world and start over, let alone my own programs. I'm almost always sure I can rewrite them with about twice the functionality in half the number of lines, given technology upgrade opportunity.
The problem is that you've made a society so awful that you'd lose enough people by suicide in the first year to trigger a societal collapse - for suicide is usually due to a perception of lack of other control in one's life and hopelessness, after all.
It varies from organization to organization. As such, solutions need to align with both the workflow and tasks. You've described the tasks, but not the structures of the workflow. It sounds as if both are very broad and ad-hoc.
I'd start by forming an inventory of tasks and who does them, followed by modeling the data inputs and outputs that drive the (currently undefined and unspecified) processes in the organization and then move on to the processes. After you have a handle about the range of these items, you map the workflows, processes, tasks, and data associated with the same into whatever system you use to base your management. At least that's how you'd do it "right" . And you do know that people get paid for this sort of thing, mkay? My rates are somewhere between $175-250/hr. for this sort of thing (because it's fucking boring).
Or, not wanting to do heavy lifting? Use someting VERY general - suggestions for Trello and/or spreadsheet sound OK for this sort of thing, especially if the documentation load is low.

Wow! That was HUGE for the day! I grew up on PDP-8's which were limited to 4096 12-bit words (unless you used bank selection extensions - some machines had more) and soon migrated to 64K 16-bit words on the PDP-11, but I did my time with IBM's 360 and Control Data's 6xxx series (with its odd 60-bit word), too. Christ on a crutch, how impoverished the world is as far as computer architectures go. And, I'm getting old. Time to go lawn-yell.
there are a lot of passionate old people around, you just don't know how to activate them
Honestly, when I was a hiring manager, I did know how to - and the 60 yo. guy (and the 50 yo. guy and most of the 35-45 yo's) I managed thought so. And I caught shit from my management every time I treated them like human beings rather than the wage slaves they wanted. Given that the company had many managers coming in from India, they had plenty of managers that liked to treat any worker like shit (let alone older ones) to replace me.
I'm very happy to be contracting/consulting now rather than trying to manage in this "industry".
There is a shortage of tech workers because companies don't like whiners like you - they'd rather that everyone is PROFOUNDLY grateful for ANY job or conditions within which to do said job. Until that day comes, there will only be calls for more tech workers.
Call us back in fifteen years when you're more expensive and tell me if your 10% per annum salary increase rate is still holding up. I'll bet you money it won't be.

Yeah, but do they really want to? I just can't see that.
... something other than FPP voting. I favor IRV, but I'd take anything that has half a chance of getting more choices that might actually be elected into the system.
Does it really matter? Does anyone really want to use Cisco gear?
Even when the law is wrong? Really?
Yes. You obey it or pay the consequences. That's why civil disobedience is so powerful. You are doing something and paying the price to show that something is unjust.

That - in itself - really annoys me.

I could see the big bad CEOs being scared when Jobs was in charge, but Cook?
God, bankers are even bigger pussies than I thought.
Good information? Good news? Good choices?
Good luck...
