That sniper can hold down a squad, but not a squad with air support or artillery, welcome to WW2 era tactics. IED's and hit and run tactics are definitely where it's at, but you can't win with those tactics. The best you can hope for is to not lose before the other side gives up. You make life a hell on earth for civilians.
A civil war fought like that is nothing like an invasion force fighting against that. (bad grammer, sorry) Look at Syria for a lesson.
Yes, the best possible outcome to attempting to overthrow the government with guns:
Massive disruption in trade leading to a massive increase in poverty. Everyone will lose loved ones from starvation (food will get burned in the fields or can't get transported due to violence), violence, and poor medical care (see notes on starvation). Industries will collapse, some groups will decide to consolidate their power through violence and this will lead to genocide and warlords.
It's absolutely a shakedown. The Bail industry was an early exploiter of campaign finance loopholes and cronyism. For more information: http://www.npr.org/series/1229...
Yeah, some number of that lower 80% or 50% have the ability to become a top performer. If you cut them off, you kill your training pool. Some percent are also contributing in smaller ways that allow your top performers to concentrate on the parts where they are top performers and let others muddle through the parts they don't like.
It's easy for the "elites" to talk down the regular people and dismiss their contributions, but don't let your shop turn into some sort of uber coder jock circle that's destined to implode.
Wow, google IRS fourth and fifth amendment violations. That's one big ball of crazy...
I can understand the fifth amendment, but self incrimination is not the same thing as looking at your paper trail, and the fourth amendment concerns I see are just the same old standard fourth amendment issues we tech people have with all government agencies.
That's where we disagree. It's inevitable, but I don't think you can speed it up. It's already the holy grail of transportation, with numerous real world and regulatory hurdles. It might even end up like the flying cars of the 50's, unworkable without drastic infrastructure changes. This sort of negotiations are a drop in the bucket to all but the most rabid anti-union types, and they'll be pissed no matter what, right?
Do you understand what inevitable means? If inevitable is coming down the pike I'm not worried about being adversarial. Any attempt to change the dynamic is valid.
I know that I'm not worried about it, because every time I am bothered to check on it, it is progressing in a meaningful manner. I'm certainly not obsessed with it and I'd rank it's importance somewhere under whether my turd was brown or brownish green during my last bowel movement.
No, but it is suspicious that this company decided to move overseas, at a time that many companies were doing the same, and it was only because the union guy was a jerk. That sounds like the straight up truth to you?
It doesn't matter how short the horizon is, the most "efficient" economical outcome is to get the most possible while you can. Unless your saying economics is junk science? (hint, it is)
That's the real reason people are conservative. They think they are the best, they can't imagine things better, and they're doing pretty good under the current system.
So your solution is to hire a never ending stream of short timers who want to be in the city to look for work? Not make this job desirable to cut down on training and retention costs while insuring you will have a consistent experience for your customers? You honestly don't see how short sighted your proposal is?
I know the owners of that specific company, so I only attribute good things to them and I've included a healthy dose of confirmation bias in this anecdote. FTFY
So on the one hand, drivers are no-skilled workers who should not make as much as a skilled worker. On the other hand a seniority system is unfair. How would you judge identical widgets? Seniority seems pretty fair to me.
Well, it certainly worked out well for all those unions that just rolled over for management. Your anecdote just shows how good some people are at creating a narrative to justify their actions.
Yeah, no shit. If an entrepreneur rakes in the cash on a technology with a set end date, he is, "leveraging the current needs of the market". If a working stiff does it, they are, "being shortsighted".
I'm an employee of a company. I provide a service, in exchange for compensation. That's it, and that's that. I have no business whatsoever to tell the leadership how to run the company. If I want to run a company, I'm free to start my own.
That's partially true, but you are taking a risk by linking your employment to that company. You absolutely deserve some say in how it is run, even if it is just your department or your checkout line. Your confusing employment with contract work.
Your whole comment is predicated that software guys should make more then bus drivers. Nobody is arguing that. It's true and it will continue to be true. These guys are making $27.50. If you make that much as a software dev in NorCal, you did something wrong. Maybe that fits the midwest, but even there you should be at least 30% higher.
I'm against all that stuff. It's all wasteful. I'm just highlighting this part now because it's being discussed. The point of medicine shouldn't be to spend more to bring in more.

So, basically hell on earth or prepper heaven.
Martha Stewart sounds like a case study in, "take a lawyer when you talk to the police."

Well, I guess 1.8 is supporting multiple threads, but it was common knowledge that Minecraft only used single core on previous versions.
Somewhere a McDonald's minecraft server just went online.
IMHO, Java is fine. I just wish they would allow it to use multiple cores.

Please elaborate on what part of this is a non-functioning check/balance? Looks like things are progressing properly.

You haven't made an argument yourself. You just spouted an anecdote and made some hostile statements.
So on the one hand, drivers are no-skilled workers who should not make as much as a skilled worker. On the other hand a seniority system is unfair. How would you judge identical widgets? Seniority seems pretty fair to me.
