Even if that Rand Paul guy has done only one thing right that ONE THING still represents one thing MORE than all the other congress-critters (plus senate critters) on the Congressional Hill!
Please explain how "reviewing Hillary Clinton's emails from her time in office" automatically constitutes "publishing pro-GOP progaganda"?
It's the "on Benghazi" part you omitted. You know, the tragedy where four people were killed, and Fox elevated it to 24/7 coverage, national crisis levels for multiple years trying to uncover a cover-up conspiracy that didn't exist.
Sure. Of course, you're going to prove that it was a management directive, and not just plain old IT incompetence or malice that led to "deleted" profiles being left around in the system, right?
If the IT guys are partly to blame, they should be lined up right alongside their managers for those whippings. And I'm pretty sure that you'll find more often than not that the IT guys are just as clueless and incompetent as their clueless and incompetent bosses.
Irrelevant.
Obviously, if it was a management directive, it's management's fault. However, if the lack of security is due to ignorance/incompetence on the part of IT, it's still management's fault, as it's their job to hire and/or train IT for security (and fire if necessary).
Internally, management is free to assign blame and take action against IT, be it through improvement plants, pink slips, or (in the case of malice) lawsuits. But make no mistake - management holds final responsibility - that's part of being in leadership.
The ultimate thing that Agile is doing for me is making me work longer hours than I ever have in my life. That's the goal I think, it's why managers love it. Ie, I have to give a two week estimate of what I can get done. Now I feel personally responsible to get things done. The deadline is no longer an external deadline by people unfamiliar with what needs to be done but instead it is a self-imposed deadline. And self-imposed means I want to get it done so that I don't look foolish. Other people are waiting for it to be done so that they can do their part. If I do ask for more time I get glared at. And what happens now is that there is a deadline EVERY TWO WEEKS. It is ALWAYS crunch time! And there is still behind the scenes the high level deadline from the executives that can not slip.
This sounds entirely self-inflicted. Why not adjust your estimates in future sprints to better reflect reality? If you are truly in control of your estimates, you are only working super long hours because you are under-estimating your tasks. If you aren't in control of your estimates, you are in a toxic work environment, and there is no shortage of other programming jobs out there.
So we had to create a demo version of the project, all while doing Agile. Afterwords, we rip out 50% of the code because it's shoddy mockup needed only for the demo. Meanwhile the management sees a good response to the demo and claim that we're going to be shipping soon and that orders are showing up.
Sounds like you're over-doing your mock-ups. If they are functional enough to convince management that it's ship-worthy, then you've done too much. Use hard-coded, fake data. Use Lorem Ipsum text. Mock-ups should only cover those pieces a user sees directly, be they UI pieces or some output data like a report. They need only be good enough to give an idea of what the final product will look like and how the user will interact with it, so you can get feedback and buy-off in proceeding further.
Don't write a hacked-together but good enough infrastructure, or it could live with you forever - nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution which works.
That depends on what state he lives in. Several states (e.g., Kansas, among others) have laws which state that work done on your own time with your own resources is yours, and any contract clauses which state otherwise are null and void.
As always, OP should consult a lawyer, as even if such a law exists in his state, there may be finer details which could still prevent him from developing his plug-ins.
I'm not sure why we keep talking about good guys and bad guys. With their invasive surveillance and contempt for our liberties, it's pretty clear that the NSA, FBI, et. al. are the "bad guys", too.
And when it comes to suspected criminals, it is trivially easy to convince the mob that the suspect deserves no protections. When it comes to the rights of the accused, I would much rather follow the fourth amendment than a bunch of scared/angry people who probably couldn't even tell you what the fourth amendment is about.
For example, a simple search for "LaTeX" (typesetting) yields pornography on some search engines.
FYI, if you Google "TeX", nearly every result on the first page is for LaTeX. The two exceptions are an IMDB page for a movie and a Google Finance page for the TEX stock. It also helps that there is a tex.stackexchange.com site.
I would think they have already made it pretty clear with their voting records. The vast majority of politicians are in favor of invasive surveillance.
Why bother? As long as they have the right letter (D or R) next to their name, the voting public couldn't care less what they do in office. The re-election rate of Congressmen has been over 90% for most election cycles in the last half century, and it never once dropped below 80% during that period.
The summary states that it's only a few GB of data, so why not put it all on an SD card and keep it on your person? You shouldn't have to worry about temperature extremes that way, as even in the case of a home fire in the middle of the night, you'll want to take it along with you to call 911 as you rush you and your family out the door.
Naturally, you'll still want to encrypt it in case your phone is lost/stolen, but it's probably by far the safest, easiest, and most secure solution.
The advantages are those which aren't listed: the appliances will *also* send that recipe and ingredient list to your HMO so they can jack up your rates and to advertisers who can then send you targeted advertising.
Oh, you wanted features for individuals? Well, the main feature is that eventually you won't be able to purchase a device *without* IoT
If you need to use COM components, and you don't want to require admin rights, you register them in HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. After that, it just works.
The sad part is, it would have not have taken any more time to Google that than to find how to disable UAC through the installer.
This is the equivalent of the teacher leaving the grade book unattended on his table instead of locking it in the desk and exits the room for a moment, and a student sneaks over to it and pencils in a lewd picture on the cover.
Actually, there's a better analogy I can think of. The teacher leaves a spare key under the doormat of their home, tells the entire class about it, and then one (or more) of the kids gets the idea to place a lewd poster or life-size cut-out just inside the entrance, so the teacher will see it upon opening the front door.
It's still stupid for the teacher to do so, but the kids are also still trespassing on the teacher's property.
Now, when I was growing up, doing either would have gotten you suspended. A felony charge is a bit excessive for a harmless prank done by a stupid kid.

While I applaud him for so openly opposing the bill, he's not the only one in Congress who has. There were 121 votes against the bill in the House.
Also, just because something is "your own work" in the sense that you created it doesn't necessarily make you the copyright holder at all.

Though, what is done is the building is printed in layers off-site, then the layers are shipped to the location and assembled.

It also took just a few seconds to wind that watch, making it a minor inconvenience. How long does it take to charge an iWatch?
Clearly, the only solution to keep us safe from the ever-looming Boogeyman threat is to place a camera in every bedroom.
but then goes for batshit insane politics that would push us back to the worst part of the soviet experiment.
