What Trump may have been referring to was something he saw on Fox News
There's no point trying to find out a reason for one of Trumps lies. By the time you've done it there's a new one, so it's best to judge the "biggest electoral college winner" on what he does instead of what he says. That's kind of hard to do since he's been all talk and no action for most of his life, but it's all we can do.
OK, so you have written such scripts to notify you. Now the company decides they do not need you any more. Are you going to rewrite those scripts to notify someone else?
In the *nix world you send it to root, postmaster or whatever - a role not a person, so that the next person in the role gets the notifications. That's assuming a real mail server someone and not an enormous flaky suite that tells you to Exchange it for something more reliable.
Yes the task is not difficult. However very frequently nobody has been assigned to do the task.
I'm in a small place and can feel smug due to stuff like certwatch notifiying multiple people, but in large places with poor management tasks fall between the cracks. "I thought X was going to do it" is a frequent cry in large barely functional shambolic orgs where execs spend more time golfing than managing, hence the DHS getting hit with this.
It's an example of mismanagement and no proper procedures to keep the certificates up to date and an incredibly common failure. Even Microsoft had a very high profile failure of that kind not long ago.
Incompetence is someone not doing their allotted tasks. Mismanagement is forgetting to allocate a required task to someone.
I feel so much better knowing that they're so good at keeping their own systems secure, that even their own workers can't access them
Given some of the people working for them (eg. the TSA gropers) I actually would feel good about it, but not as good as if they slash that massive mall cop welfare program and have some sort of professional airport security instead. While they are at it they can get rid of the DHS guys who go around to toy shops and check if rubicks cubes are legit instead of knockoffs (now that was a weird story).
The only time they aren't covered is while they are on their way to pick up a fare
That makes my point for me. They would not be going to pick up that fare if the Uber dispatch service did not tell them to do so. Other taxi companies cover their drivers the entire time that they are working for them.
Yes a cool joke for your bros but utterly useless. How about we return to reality then since you are making a fuss about me apparently denying it?
So then - what really happened between John Sculley and County Cork? There's no point just telling me I'm wrong without any indication of why. Something more than "Apple can do no wrong" is required.
Yes - that thing the human drivers of Uber don't have when they are working as Uber taxi drivers. It will be a step forward if Uber spends money on insurance for these things instead of cutting corners and imposing their costs on others.
The coders in this place mostly won't know about bending moments but it's a good concept to look up to get an idea as to why it was so insane to strap the shuttle onto the side of a rocket instead of on top. NASA did incredibly well to get it to fly at all.
The Saturn V rockets were manufactured in Louisiana, in New Orleans [wikipedia.org], so the large pieces could be barge-shipped to Florida
Yes that's what I'm referring to. Practicality ruled over pork. "Where can we get these parts from" ruled over the later "we need to build something in Utah so how do we compromise the design so we can do that".
hadn't chosen Thiokol, and if they hadn't opted to remove the latex to save all of six hundred pounds, it's possible that the Shuttle would still be flying with a perfect record
Giant sheets of alox to precisely-engineered specifications aren't natural, you toolshed.
So how about a link to your giant sheet of sapphire then? Not only not natural but I'm getting an idea that your specific example only exists in your own head.
For an extra laugh a lot of what we've been doing with Alumiunium Oxide (where the fuck did you get alox from?) has been due to the space program.
As for your sliding into the mix "all property is theft", maybe change that handle, lucid just does not fit.
I suppose as soon as I saw the "transparent aluminium" I should have know that things were going from post-literate to post-fact and reality was not on the menu.
In the first episode there were some preparations for the launch of long range mission the "meta probe" to the edge of the solar system - some background to justify an active base on the moon I think since it didn't actually have anything to do with the plot. The massive waste dump appeared to only have a few people who went to work there and did not appear to be the main role for the moonbase.
I'll leave it at that since there's not a lot of point attempting to find continuity in that series no matter how good various bits of it were.
"Apple bullying a local council into letting them avoid taxes"
It's how it happened, a good description of the government of County Cork and is why the penalty is so huge. So kid, tell me the "spun" version. The EU hates Apple's freedoms?
They didn't need that graph. Glass transition temperature in polymers is taught to just about every engineering student on the planet in first year materials science subjects. As Feynman showed it was a management fuckup of ignoring experts.
They transfer Asia, Oceanic etc profits to the EU. As an example, despite a lot of sales Apple Australia has made a loss for many years because they buy everything from Apple Ireland and sell below cost. It is called transfer pricing.
In this case the EU thinks it was illegal tax evasion hence the massive fine. Unless an appeal changes it that's a perfectly valid label to put on Apple's actions
Your mistake is in assuming Apple isn't abiding by all the local laws.
Since that's what the EU has ruled it's not really a mistake unless an appeal rules otherwise. Other businesses in Cork were paying the taxes just not Apple.
EU thought they could change the laws
Not what happened. It was a simple as Apple bullying a local council into letting them avoid taxes or they would move and take all those jobs with them. I've got no idea why you are pretending otherwise, I thought Apple fanboys hated the Pepsi guy who replaced Steve Jobs. The tax evasion was implemented back then.
So all the water on the moon that could be used as fuel for Mars missions has no value?
None at all until you build an industrial city to make use of it. Despite the cheesiness the initial premise of Space 1999 got that right. A huge base several years old with hundreds of people preparing to launch a manned ship to the outer reaches of the solar system.
Implicit in saying that is the premise that the moon has an industrial base
I think that's the long term dream (not plan yet) of the people who are seriously making these suggestions after a bit of thought. Others mistake it for something that can be done in the short term of a few years.

That makes perfect sense.
It's an I pee address.

It's 19th century piecework with an app.

Good point and a good lesson for the future.

Yes! They should serve King not country! It's the American waaaayta minute, somethings not right here.

But we've always been at war with Eurasia.
Ah I forgot - the BBC and all the rest other than Breitbart are "fake news" now.
Just ignore the chatter of the adults we don't matter.

The rule is due to water recycling on the ISS so fairly obviously didn't apply before the ISS was built.
How is the begging going BTW Brendan?
So all the water on the moon that could be used as fuel for Mars missions has no value?

Good point. The Russians also have a space program and could have invented all those things and sold them too you instead.
WTF? Aluminium oxide is in nature as a gemstone you tool. Why are you going all Star Trek on us?
