  1. Re:Missing golden opportunity... on New Tesla Buyers Will Have To Pay To Use Superchargers (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    They already are. Stores are popping up around them. Tesla built one here off the highway near 2 closed gas stations. There are now 2 restaurants within walking distance. Every time we stop there we see more and more Teslas. Another one I know of is near a grocery store, bus stop and restaurants. You could easily explore cities via public transit while your Tesla charges.

    I've noticed the same thing in engineering. The Indian engineers never thought outside of the box or even deviated from a known script they had been following.

    We had one spend half a day diagnosing a problem that one of our American engineers solved in 15 minutes. They never checked to see if the databus was connected.

    And I'll admit fault with that. I didn't ever think to put it on the 'debugging checklist' because I thought it was an obvious step.

    And if you're going to still double down on her ignorance to the security clearance levels then I will agree with you. She doesn't deserve to be prosecuted but she then doesn't meet the minimum intelligence requirements for POTUS.

    You mean like the sailor that took a picture in a classified area?

    Petty Officer Saucier was charged last year with one count of unlawful retention of national defense information and one count of obstruction of justice after prosecutors said the sailor used his cellphone to take snapshots in classified engine room on the USS Alexandria, a nuclear submarine where he worked as a mechanic at the time, then attempted to destroy evidence when he learned an investigation had been launched.

    Or David Petraeus.

    In January 2015, officials reported the FBI and Justice Department prosecutors had recommended bringing felony charges against Petraeus for allegedly providing classified information to his biographer, Paula Broadwell (with whom he was having an affair), while serving as the director of the CIA. Eventually, Petraeus pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified information.

    Or John M. Deutch

    Deutch had agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor for mishandling government secrets on Friday, January 19, 2001, but President Clinton pardoned him in his last day in office, two days before the Justice Department could file the case against him.

    [Not holding my breath for an Obama Pardon either]

    Or Sandy Berger

    was an American political consultant who served as the United States National Security Advisor for President Bill Clinton from March 14, 1997, until January 20, 2001. Before that he served as the Deputy National Security Advisor for the Clinton Administration from January 20, 1993, until March 14, 1997.

    On July 19, 2004, it was revealed that the U.S. Department of Justice was investigating Berger for unauthorized removal of classified documents in October 2003 from a National Archives reading room prior to testifying before the 9/11 Commission. The documents were five classified copies of a single report commissioned from Richard Clarke covering internal assessments of the Clinton Administration's handling of the unsuccessful 2000 millennium attack plots. An associate of Berger said Berger took one copy in September 2003 and four copies in October 2003, allegedly by stuffing the documents into his socks and pants. Berger subsequently lied to investigators when questioned about the removal of the documents.

    In April 2005, Berger pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material from the National Archives in Washington.

    Or Bryan H. Nishimura.

    According to court documents, Nishimura was a Naval reservist deployed in Afghanistan in 2007 and 2008. In his role as a Regional Engineer for the U.S. military in Afghanistan, Nishimura had access to classified briefings and digital records that could only be retained and viewed on authorized government computers. Nishimura, however, caused the materials to be downloaded and stored on his personal, unclassified electronic devices and storage media. He carried such classified materials on his unauthorized media when he traveled off-base in Afghanistan and, ultimately, carried those materials back to the United States at the end of his deployment. In the United States, Nishimura continued to maintain the information on unclassified systems in unauthorized locations, and copied the materials onto at least one additional unauthorized and unclassified system

    I would LOVE to have a H1B to train. 80% of my job is stuff I'm tired of doing and trying to automate but still needs to be done. The other 20% is the fun stuff.

    It's how I've had to work for the last decade: The 20% becomes the 80%, the 80% becomes automated and I get to work on a new fun 20%. I have peers that are doing things verbatim the way they did it a decade ago. I would love a H1B (or high school student) to train on stuff I've got mostly scripted but still needed an intelligent monkey to run.
