I have gotten fines from the IRS, and it was always because I missed something and it was my fault. Sometimes it took a little work to figure out what the problem was, and even called them up when I was trying to figure it out. The people were never rude and always helpful.
Was I happy with it? No, who really wants to admit they made a mistake and have to pay to fix it? No many people, but you know what? I sucked up my ego, which all it really was, and admitted my mistake and paid up.
For all the scorn people heap on the IRS, they do a very good job, especially considering all the crap they get from anyone who seems them as an easy dog to kick.
It depends on how schizophrenic you are, because sometimes there are bosses that set no expectations, or explanations. If you did then when s**t goes wrong it becomes your fault instead of mine when I follow procedures but stuff does not work out.
It happens in a lot in the real world which is why some people will show no initiative, because there is no point in doing so.
It depends on the marker that they use. If the marker is something that is not as soluble or emulates the characteristic of the fracking recipe. You also have the problem of how they injected the marker versus how they normally proceed. A concern was that they were more careful in projects where they were injecting the marker rather than how they normally do business. Finally, Pennsylvania is not the only place they do fracking different soils and naturally occurring fault lines were major concerns.
Calculus is required as a foundation to understand some things in Statistics that matter to computer scientists.
I am calling BS, requiring Calculus for Statistics is like saying you need to be a mechanic to understand how to drive a car.
People don't understand Statistics in the first place because they just plug in the formula and it works via magic. If they don't understand the basics of Statistics, they certainly are not going to make the effort to understand Calculus either.
The sampling is only valid for the question posed. If you change the question, you can also change the results. Sometimes even changing the order of the question can ALSO change the results.
To imply that only potential problem with this study is sample bias, you would be wrong.
I understand that 10 years the max, but judges discretion can be vary widely. I would hate to have a couple years of life depending on whether a judge wants to push an agenda instead of being fair.
The hacking exposed a crime, which is being charged as a crime
The hacking also exposed the government of failing to enforce a crime.
Hacking crimes should be relative based upon scope. Steal $10 you a petty thief; steal $1,000,000 you are a felon. The only reason 10 years is on the there is because someone in the government got embarrassed not because of hacking as a crime.
GMO foods are potentially dangerous in several ways. DNA is one way, but the idea that Roundup Ready only kills bad stuff is the most dangerous.
Just like they did with DDT, we are dumping Roundup over everything. We don't even pretend to understand the long-term effects of that decision but "good for the economy/Monsanto".
I guess when it comes to chemicals I am a little bit paranoid.
It was Enron making their financials too complicated to understand that brought about it's downfall. People who were knowledgeable looked at it and said "WTF? no way all of this was real" and started betting against the stock. That betting crashed the stock and then the company.
Whether it is fair or not is something, not everyone has the knowledge to research everything in detail. But if there was nothing there, then it never would have been exposed for the fraud that it was.
"I got the Flu shot and I had a Flu for 72 hours!" or "it only works 9% of the time? Big Pharm SUCKS!" Sorry to hear that your 80 year-old grandma had a fever after getting a flu shot. but people take too much stuff for granted.
It was not that long ago that the Spanish Flu wiped out millions of people.
If want something more recent visit Africa. They only had 550,000+ deaths for malaria.
If you something worth while, post it. Otherwise people don't care you got a flu shot and got sick anyways; stuff happens, grow up.
I get you not supposed to run an illegal radio, but why was the signal causing problems for cars? Was it too strong or was there an underlying signal being sent out?
For me, the funny part, "people had to get their manuals out how to manually open their car doors"
The other issue is that these projects went in with an expected level of funding and since we are talking about the most successful projects, they drastically exceeded their initial projects. How are these guys going to possibly meet their deadlines when they have to scale up DRASTICALLY.
Take for example, Relic Knights they were funded at 4400% beyond what they initially asked for. I don't know many factories, more or less individuals, that can just scale up production 40 times what they expected. That they are late should be a surprise to nobody and businesses do this crap all the time. The difference is that the information is not publicly available for people to bitch about.
I had to deal with this in our corporate PBX, we connect to a provider who does god-knows-what with the call. They do this least-cost routing, but when the call does not arrive it is on the customer to figure out WTF is going on. The provider saves.01 cents on your phone call and the customer pays for the call AND the support! What a way to run a business.
Well considering all those steps happened, I fail to see any basic for your argument.
You want simplistic, management was incompetent and took what they could left the everyone else, including the government holding the bag.
At least the unions for the low wage people and their jobs. When you have a CEO who jacked his salary from 750 K to 3 Mill (when he saw the company going to bankrupt) who do you think he was fighting for? It certainly was not for the workers or even the company. He raided the till and headed for the hills.

It is funny because you have basically referred to Robot Santa Claus
I am surprised that the IRS has not gone after him for tax evasion. Being stupid for not paying taxes will still get you sent to jail really quick.
Just because someone is a Democrat, does not make one a liberal.

As soon as executives are financially responsible for the money they lose or swindle from customers.

If this Dilbert cartoon does not hit the nail on the head, I don't know what does.
That is only because you saw it on Netflix the other night...

I was much younger when I was earning $20/hour and $95/hour. Your saying that he should glad with $20/hour while the rate increased to $160/hour.
I fail to see how business expenses drastically increased in the last 15 years, but not increase the salary of the guy doing the actual work hasn't.
Considering I was being paid $20 an hour and when the company I was working for charged $95 an hour. I do believe that there is a problem.

If you read the article, it says that shipping is 1/50 of the cost of building a new one.
The Irony? The operation is "Non-profit"!
The IRS really should put these organizations in line or shut them down.
It was Enron making their financials too complicated to understand that brought about it's downfall. People who were knowledgeable looked at it and said "WTF? no way all of this was real" and started betting against the stock. That betting crashed the stock and then the company.

Or grows fat with discontent if the talent is unable to leave. Either case it will a less productive environment.
