Well which is it? Either you can hire other company's employees or you can't.
I hate to break it to you, but, in the USA, different states have different laws. In this case, the legality of non-compete agreements is different between CA and MA.

There are lots of young unemployed people with education degrees, looking for an opportunity to teach.
Bullsh*t. Show me some reliable numbers. And not just of people who want to be teachers, but people who are qualified.
At least, here in California, to be a qualified teacher, you need a "Credential" in addition to a bachelor's degree, not an "education degree". From the experience of family members, I can tell you that there is no large pool of *good*, qualified teachers available.
You, like others, want to claim that there are good teachers available because you don't want to deal with the alternative -- admitting that teachers are underpaid.
Yes, but if you get rid of tenure first you can start increasing teacher pay for the BEST teachers instead of the ones who have been there the longest.
If you get rid of tenure, then you start firing teachers, how are you going to replace them? Do you imagine that there is a large pool of excellent and qualified teachers just waiting for the opportunity of a teaching job? You need to attract better people into the profession and for that, you need higher pay.
Exaggeration much? What about my comment about teacher pay?
When you toss in the value of their benefits, many are incredibly well paid. Want them to have more pay? Have them pay for some of their health insurance. Have them contribute to their own pensions.
I can't comment about other states, but in California, teachers do contribute to heath insurance, teachers contribute a lot to their own pensions. A new teacher in California has a bachelor's degree, plus half the credits that would be required for a Master's, yet cannot afford to rent an apartment without sharing and run a car. In what other profession is this true?
The rest of your comments amount to victim blaming ("then they shouldn't have kids"). As for your comment about it not being so bad in the past: 1. Wasn't it? Do you have any stats on that? and 2: Could this be related to increasing wealth disparity? Perhaps those parents did not have to work 2 or 3 jobs just to put food on the table.
Umm, sorry to disturb your "conservatives are evil" rant, but then how do you explain the epically failing schools of many american inner cities? Cities that have been run top to bottom, city council to school district by liberals.
Explaining that is so simple:
1. Parents either don't have the skills or the time to assist their kids in succeeding.
2. Less resources in inner-city schools.
3. Poor attitudes towards learning amongst the kids (see item 1).
4. Poor teachers: Because teachers in these inner-city areas do not get paid more than their colleagues in good districts, only the worst teachers will teach there. Also, as a teacher, where pay is determined by test results, would you work in an area where the dice are stacked against you (see items 1, 2 and 3 above)?
However, this is not a "throw money at" sort of problem.
Actually, it is. Want better teachers? Increase pay and better teachers will enter the profession.
"On call" means she's always on the clock and therefore has a billing claim against her employers. At least, that's how it theoretically works in England (RCN V London NHS,
Most likely, she is an "exempt" employee. In this context, "exempt" means that a lot of employee protections don't apply. Specifically, exempt employees normally don't have specific hours of work, so the employer can claim that they are paying her for 24/7 work.
Petrol engines worked for decades without any active electronics. My car (built in '57) has either zero or perhaps one semiconductor devices (quench diode in the fuel pump). It has plenty of electro-mechanical devices, but I doubt that these would be affected by a flare. It has a starter, but can be hand-cranked to start.
If we were willing to pay double or triple the market rate, we could probably entice happily employed candidates to come work for us,
I don't think you understand the concept of "market rate". If you have to pay more to get qualified candidates, then that higher rate is the market rate.
I write from experience. I had 2 spells on H1-B visas, both times, I was directly employed (not through a contracting firm). The first time, I went back to my home country at the end of my expat assignment. The second time, I stayed long enough to get a green card -- I had already changed jobs after starting the H1-B.
The H1-B program should be changed such that only the company that is the end recipient of the work product of the H1-B worker can apply for a visa.
Those companies that provide on-site engineers to other companies should not qualify for H1-B visa sponsorship. In this way many abuses would be stopped.
I think your confusing Texas with California. Texas has the second largest state economy in the country and unlike the largest state economy, it isn't bankrupt.
I think you are confusing your Tea Party talking points for facts. California isn't bankrupt. In fact the state budget outlook is very good.
but the fucking deluxe fix was $11, that is it.They could have built that into the car price with virtually no impact. TFA picked one terrible example...
At the time that the Pinto was bing built, car manufacturers went to great lengths to shave fractions of a penny off the cost of a car. $11 was a huge cost addition at that time.
Google Fi is about combining multiple cellular networks, while Scratch Wireless only uses a single cellular network. Both let you seamlessly roam between cellular and wifi.
Which you get when using a T-Mobile phone abroad, where it can use multiple cell networks and can switch mid call between Wifi and various cellular networks, or at least the old UMA phones could do some time around 2003. Perhaps they could not go from one WiFi network to another mid-call, but will Google's phone really do this?
However, if it's in the public domain, there is no monetary incentive to locate, digitize, and restore such a film. It either sits in a vault somewhere, decomposing (maybe even on nitrate film - egad!), or maybe it was transferred onto videotape before its copyright expired.
Counter argument: if the copyright holder felt that there was money to be made by transferring to another medium and selling, it would have already happened.
Instead, all those nitrate copies are locked away and will either burn or decompose. Many of those old movies have copies lurking away, open to non-copyright holders if they had the right to make updated copies and release them. But copyright prevents this.
Just like the ability for phones to recieve network-wide notifications, when this capability was used in California, many people turned it off, because the notification was broadcast far too wide -- across all of California for something taking place in San Diego.
I predict the same for this. The capability will be misused and then disabled by the users of the app.
Finance.yahoo.com, is also dying. Thank you CEO Marissa Mayer, you have taken what used to be a valuable and interesting resource for investors and completely fucking ruined it.
Maybe it has gotten worse under Mayer, but to be fair, Yahoo finance was "unimproved" some years ago, turning from a usable set of forums to pages full of unreadable bling. What I don't understand is why Mayer (who was supposed to be responsible for Google's simple, spartan look) hasn't done the same for Yahoo. Or perhaps she has -- I can't remember the last time that I visited a Yahoo page. That's the nature of the problem -- once you drive your users away, they don't come back, irrespective of how the site changes.
All we know from the study is that the false positive rate was about 89%
Exactly. We don't know the false positive rate in the cases where the evidence was used. You can't claim that my speculation is not valid, yet yours is valid.
This isn't a case of a random subset of a larger population. In every case, there was a decision made whether or not to use the hair evidence. That decision was based on the evidence available. Thus, you can't assume that you have a random subset of the larger population. Thus your projection of an 11% false positive rate on the subset isn't valid.
Finally, a lack of other evidence would suggest a higher likelihood of innocence, which would imply a higher liklihood that the hair evidence was false.

To get rid of tenure, teacher pay would need to be increased.
Apparently you did not benefit from education as much as you think you did...

Middle class never meant that. It's only modern usage that has extended the usage of the term towards working-class families.

If you could sue the credit reference agencies for libel, much of this problem would go away.
Your losses due to false information on your credit report are a loss that you should be able to sue over.
Much of Santa Clara County is in the City of San Jose. What do you want to bet that San Jose has at least one?
I don't see it on my phone, running 4.1.2. Perhaps the carrier stripped out this option before shipping the firmware update that the phone is running.
