Part of the issue is that people don't have company loyalty anymore. You employ a junior then they say I want to have a pay rise, I want to develop my own projects, I want to be a senior developer. But when you talk to those they work with they are only good in their own eyes. Then they leave and expect a great reference.
Then maybe employers shouldn't have nuked that loyalty bridge from orbit. It's not employees who demanded offshoring, crappy 401k's, H1 B's, making the BA the new high school diploma, or taking massive cuts to pay in benefits as the corporations they work for are enjoying all-time-high profits.
don't be silly... they're talking about cellphones and laptops etc. Who owns the patents on that stuff? It isn't china.
It's not the United States, either, don't be sillier. They're owned by international corporations. If it was in fact the U.S. government that owned much of the world's technology, the CIA would have overthrown it a long time ago. It'swhatthey do.
The United States spends billions every year to influence or outright overthrow other countries every year. The United States needs a stadium-sized cup of STFU when it comes to "meddling". This is the point where western exceptionalists start blurting "whatabboutery", so I'll go ahead and tell you first to cram hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqis, Syrians and Libyan's up your asses while you're whining about $5000 in Facebook ads.
Name a piece of information, known by Christopher Steele to be false, spread as if it were true.
AC, I hereby accuse you of being a goat-fucker. I don't know that this information is false, as you could actually be one of those rare, rare people who engage in goat fucking. Now is this a fair framing of how assertions are supposed to work - or is it total BS? You're also ignoring the fact that it's impossible to prove a negative - it's impossible to prove that Trump hasn't been peed on, much less that Steele lied about it. Which is why it's the job of the person making the assertion to back it up.
Who is Christopher Steele? From Wikipedia: Not exactly some fly-by-night amateur
In 2003, Steele was sent to Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan as part of an MI6 team, briefing Special Forces on "kill or capture" missions for Taliban targets
The kinda guy who should be in prison for war crimes.
Page had been on the radar long beforehand
People keep saying this as if its supposed to mean something. Past surveillance - that resulted in nothing as he was charged with nothing - does jack to justify future investigations without probable cause.
Intelligence courts generally presume by default that sources have some sort of motive, because as a general rule, people who aren't motivated don't act as sources.
Neat way of sidestepping the fact that one general election candidate digging up opposition dirt on her opponent was used as the basis for spying on said opposition candidate.
They show that Russian intelligence was interested in influencing the election.
No. They don't.
We know the Russian individuals made multiple offers of campaign dirt to support to the Trump campaign but nothing was given
FTFY. You might wanna stop fucking that chicken, though, as not only did Hillary solicit information from actual spies, but paid for it in the Steele Dossier.
and have rock solid evidence of Russia hacking Democratic Party and election officials
If by "rock solid" you mean "absolutely no evidence whatsoever", then yes.
We have multiple Trump campaign officials taking plea deals for crimes relating to their connection to the Russian government.
None of which have anything to do with the Russian government hacking the election or with Trump being a literal Manchurian Candidate.
At this point, I just figure that anyone who posts idiocy about the Russians not hacking the US is either a Russian shill or one of their dupes.
Cheney must be kicking himself these days. All that trouble of having Colin Powell lie his ass off to the U.N. and present fake evidence, when he could have skipped that whole "evidence" nonsense and made a series of assertions that Saddam planned 911 and hand WMD's. Because people would eat that shit up with a spoon.
But let's go ahead and say it's all true after all. You going to stop spending billions to subvert other countries governments around the word while whining about a few thousand dollars on Facebook ads?
Are you saying that the land area of the Vatican is equal to the land area of China? Because based on what I said, that is what it would take for the Vatican to be able to pollute as much as China.
Don't you get that's an equally fallacious comparison? By that line of logical fallacy, California should be held to tighter emissions standards than Alaska, because the latter is a larger state geographically.
It's per capita, period. Yes, this means China gets to pollute 5 times as much as the United States, when they have 5 times the population.
The judges who are the most "activist" and actively ignore the wording of the Constitution are conservatives....and people who claim to be originalists, like St. Scalia.
The 11th Amendment says federal courts cannot hear lawsuits against a state brought by "Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State." But it's been interpreted to block suits by a state's own citizens -- something it clearly does not say. How to get around the Constitution's express words? In a 1991 decision, Justice Scalia wrote that "despite the narrowness of its terms," the 11th Amendment has been understood by the court "to stand not so much for what it says, but for the presupposition of our constitutional structure which it confirms." If another judge used that rationale to find rights in the Constitution, Justice Scalia's reaction would be withering. He went on, in that 1991 decision, to throw out a suit by Indian tribes who said they had been cheated by the State of Alaska.
Then the Vatican, pop 1,000, should be able to pollute just as much as China, 1.4 billion. Now, DO explain why you should be able to pollute as much as FIVE people in China.
Per-capita pollution is the wrong way to measure environmental impact, because my arrogant western exceptionalist ass wants to go on consuming dozens the times the amount of resources as people in other countries
By that line of "reasoning", the Vatican, population 1,000, should be able to pollute just as much as China, population 1.4 billion. Because they're both sovereign nations. Of course per capita matters, check your arrogance and sense of western exceptionalist entitlement.
Ahh. A sophist. "Militia" doesn't mean what you think it means, and a prefatory clause isn't binding.
A projectionist. And if you're going to be pedantic, get retentive over "state", not "militia".
As a self professed liberal, do you also support other laws which would restrict civil liberties? How about the 1st A? It starts with "Congress shall make no law...". So, that means that the States (which definitely aren't "Congress") can make laws establishing religion, restricting speech and press, etc. Right?
Where in the first amendment is there wording on regulation? All you have here is hand waiving and false equivalencies.
Living in a system with the fundamental principles of freedom and liberty means you accept more risk. Fortunately for you, you can move to almost anywhere else and trade that freedom and liberty for less risk and more security. Your choice.
You mean places like other western countries with as much or more freedoms and none of the gun violence? Not helping your case here, slick. Oh, and gun nuts should stop polishing their dick extenders long enough to read up on treason in the Constitution and when habeas corpus may be suspended. Defend your freedum with firearms, and the government is Constitutionally allowed to call you a traitor and throw your ass in prison without a warrant or a trial.
Uber fans like to throw shade at local taxi companies, invariably based on tautologies, anecdotes, and confirmation bias. But it's real hard for a local company that has to show a profit - and pay its workers a living wage - with a corporation that can afford to lose 4+ billion a year.
Like how Amazon operated for a decade on loses, driving local bookstores out of business that weren't able to lose huge amounts of money for long amounts of time.
For what it's worth, it seems the NWS has nearly five thousand employees, cutting 248 forecasters represents a 5% cut in staffing.
Unless all 5,000 of those employees are forcasters, that's one fallacious comparison.
It seems the NWS may already have over 248 "vacancies" currently in it's organization, so this may be nothing more than "Trump" adopting current staffing levels, rather than actually cutting people from eliminating positions.
See above. Lets say Trump also decides that an aircraft carrier can lose 250 mechanics because there's over 5,000 crew plus airmen - and then wonders why planes start crashing.
oddly, just a few years ago no one said things like "Obama illegally blocked tax-exempt applications by conservative groups"
WTF are you talking about. Conservatives everywhere were whining about that. And, as is usually the case, they were completely full of crap: the head of the IRS was a Bush appointee, liberal groups were scrutinized for a longer period of time, and the only group to actually be denied tax-exempt status was liberal.
He was specifically held in conditions to not allow contact with any other individuals. If it walks like solitary, talks like solitary, looks like solitary....it's probably solitary confinement.
Cool story, bro. But no. Gottfrid was charged and jailed in Sweden for copyright infringement, and was investigated for hacking and fraud. He was then deported to Denmark where he was prosecuted and convicted for hacking.
So you're just going to ignore the part where he was imprisoned for weeks, held incommunicado with no right to outside contact of any kind (including a lawyer as he wasn't charged) and interrogated on this other alleged crime before being sent to prison for the previous copyright charge.
Your willful dumbfuckery is noted.
Sweden's extradition treaty specifically forbids extradition for "political crimes", and the only thing which the US has accused him of is expressly political. Ergo there's no good reason to believe that Sweden would extradite him.
Assange is wanted for questioning on alleged hacking cases like the DNC server and Podesta's email. What was Gottfrid Svartholm deported to Denmark for? Alleged hacking. And which part of Sweden's extradition treaty allowed them to hand people over to the CIA for immediate torture?
Either way, you're basically suggesting that both Sweden and the USA need to change their laws in order to accommodate poor little Julian, which is pretty damn funny.
What laws were changed for Sweden to interview 44 suspects in the UK since 2010 without having them extradited first? Assange has offered to do just such an interview in the embassy, or to even return to Sweden if given a no-extradition promise. Even if you think Assange is bluffing, Ecuador would no longer have a reason to grant him asylum, so either way you'd want Sweden to go ahead and make such a guarantee to get his over with. Thus, all the willful dumbfuckery from concern trolls like yourself to hand waive away these inconvenient facts.
I love people who wouldn't know what left is if the entire North Korean army bit them on the ass. Globalism is something pushed by right-wing neoliberals, not leftists.
Your bullshit. Personal energy use is a fraction of industry, and a Chinese person uses a fraction of the amount of resources that an entitled western ass such as your self consumes.

And a 2018 Honda Civic has many more bells and whistles than one made in 1988 - but it's still a midsized ICE car. Whoop de do.

How does one make unauthorized disclosures without being an unreliable asset in the process?
No. They don't.

If Valve sells a multiplayer game and then kills said multiplayer, they owe the purchaser a complete refund. Any other response is not acceptable.
