Because it doesn't take very long, and the chef is likely to still be working there in 2 years.
In software engineering, the average time you can reasonably expect someone to stay working for you, regardless of salary or conditions/perks, is about 2~ years. Much less in startup hotbeds like SF.

And that is why everyone's hunting down pre-trained people. Of course, then you have to weight that with the cost of not hiring anyone at all, and decide whats best.
That's largely of the tech industry's own doing.
It is well-known amongst programmers (and anyone else who cares) that the only way to be paid the prevailing wage is to job hop. Employers refuse to give regular raises to keep their coders in step with market salaries. Furthermore, employers do not invest in their employees - training must be done on a person's own dime and their own time. In a worst case, the tools and technologies used in a workplace will stagnate, causing people to leave just so they're not left behind in the industry as a whole.
This would quickly change if the tech industry executives put more effort into retaining good people and less time into screwing them.
The interesting thing is that the two kingdoms which really exist are far different from those which people perceive. Democrats and Republicans both serve the same kingdom, while most of the public lives under the other.
And his opponent, John McCain, failed to vote either way. It's worth noting that not a single Republican senator voted against the act, so we can guess what McCain would have voted.
To re-iterate a sentiment uttered elsewhere in the comments: no matter whether you vote D or R, you are voting against your own interests. We need new parties to replace the current ones.
People will find ways to use it. I remember multiple points in my life where I would get some new piece of technology (RAM, CPU speed, disk space, bandwidth, etc.) and remark that I couldn't possibly utilize it fully. Inevitably, I always reached a point where I was not only utilizing it, but I was aching for more.
A good historical example is streaming video. I never imagined watching movies and TV shows online when I had a 14.4 Kbps modem as a kid. Once broadband became popular, however, everyone started doing it - to the point where many people I know have dropped TV subscriptions entirely because they can just stream everything.
One thing that could immediately become mainstream in the future: nightly, off-site backups. Transferring 1 TB of data over a 10Gbps line takes just under 15 minutes.
That's just it - as per the summary, there are some valid things worth redacting from videos. The problem, of course, is that the whole point of body cams was that we can't trust the police, so any means of redacting content which needs redacting will likely be used to redact anything which casts a bad light on the officers.
Being a felon means he committed [what the government thinks is] a serious crime.
FTFY. There are many felony charges which exist that many/most may not consider such a big deal (e.g., possession of marijuana), especially if committed many years ago. While there are definitely felony offenses which nearly anyone would agree are serious, do not make the mistake of lumping them all together into a single category.
It's true that a winner-take-all system essentially hands votes to the "opposing party" if you vote for a third party.
However, in a proportional system, the party you vote for will actually get a proportional number of seats (as you might expect). That third party which is useless to vote for now because they only get 5% of the votes (and hence, zero seats) would suddenly get 5% of the seats.
Keep in mind that even with our winner-take-all system, there is a small percentage of votes for third parties every election. Now those parties would be invited to the table. Once people see that, they might actually starting to vote for the parties they want, knowing that their votes would actually work towards increased influence for their chosen party.
However, that is unlikely to happen in the US, as it works against the interests of those parties in power, and we can't have that.
Apple bears part of the blame for coming up with the lopsided agreement in the first place. That's not to detract from the blame GT deserves for signing.
Or you know, we could just try being peaceful with each other.
You don't have to sell peace to the common man. However, nothing concentrates money and power like a good war, so those up top calling the shots are always good for another conflict.
To answer your title: yes. When the problem is a bad law, the government is the only entity capable of fixing the problem. Whether there can be a reasonable expectation that it will fix the problem is a question of where the lobbying money goes.
Several of the ancillary libraries and other projects (Entity Framework, F#, etc.) have been open source for some time, and now.NET core is on GitHub. So far, it's only a handful of the core libraries, but the plan is to flesh out the entire framework.
Scantron was rather notorious for missing bubbles that weren't filled-in just right or with the right type of pencil when I was still in school. Has it gotten any better?
Daylight Saving Time is an awful idea, compounded by the fact that the rules change from location to location and can change from year to year. In computer systems, it gets even worse when you consider that different systems have different rules still, and talking to two of them at the same time can lead to irreconcilable differences which cause all kinds of headaches.
Some people become cops because of the power trip it gives. This is perfectly in-line with that personality type. The real tragedy is that it's likely very little (if anything) will be done to the officers perpetrating the acts, which will only feed into the power trip.
For the courts to reward the customers who believe the claims and not those who didn't would be to reward the people who are gullible--or at least those who claim to be gullible.
While I hate rewarding people for being gullible (perhaps deliberately so), it would be a good way to end all the exaggeration and misrepresentation done to sell goods. The world would be a better place if corporations had to be objective and stick to the facts when advertising their goods.
If you are panicked about Ebola then you should be running down the street screaming about the flu. (Hopefully running down the street to get your flu shot.)
I see you are new to this planet. Let me help you. Humans do not panic over the things most likely to kill them (heart disease, cancer, etc.). They panic over the things least likely to kill them (ebola, terrorism, sharks in tornadoes, etc.).

It's too bad that NASA never invents anything that can be used outside of space travel.

In comparison, Sony's gross revenue was 77.46Bn USD last year.
I wonder why they felt the need to spam the submissions. We all know the decision is going to be based on which side pays the largest bribe.

Apple is a brand that tells people to think outside the box.
Sue different.
What's the license?
As stated on the Microsoft GitHub page, they use MIT or Apache 2 licenses for most of their projects.

.NET is all going open source
Several of the ancillary libraries and other projects (Entity Framework, F#, etc.) have been open source for some time, and now .NET core is on GitHub. So far, it's only a handful of the core libraries, but the plan is to flesh out the entire framework.
Why do people seem to take political propaganda at face value, as if this article actually carries weight as a piece of economic advice, ha ha ha.
Because outright propaganda is what they get from the major news networks (Fox, MSNBC, et. al.), so they can't tell the difference.

But that's a problem for the *next* CTO.
