JIRA, plus great integration into 'fr agile' methodology.
We use JIRA as well, but fire all US development employees shortly after each acquisition, in order to replace them with cheaper developers in India. The developers in India do not have access to JIRA, and the few that do have access generally ignore it. Ever 4-5 years we'll delete a project queue to clean up the tickets once our customers choose not to renew their contract.
Let's be honest: the next time a Democrat is president they will probably either join the Paris accords, or adopt policies that align with the accords anyway. This is what American has turned into: our politics are so partisan that pretty much the first thing a new party administration does when they take office is to overrule or counteract policies of the previous administration (except of course for policies that erode away our rights in the name of "national security"). America is running around in circles (and wasting trillions of dollars in the process) while the rest of the world passes us by. And the sad thing is a lot of Americans are cheering as it happens.
I feel roughly the same way. I am of the opinion that we should withdraw from all of these idiotic inconsequential agreements, but should continue to strive to eliminate the environmental damage we're causing. I think NASA climate programs should be defunded... In favor of funding NOAA appropriately. Etc, Etc... As someone that voted for Johnson, Trump is doing exactly half of what I wanted, and it makes me look bad because I 'coincidentally' agree with ~50% of his actions (Gut the EPA, Gut the FDA, Fire Comey, abolish slavery).
Did the 38k/year in medical end up taking more out of your salary than the 50 percent tax would have, given the other public services I assume were included in that 50 percent income tax?
I often hear people complaining about how terrible 50 percent tax is compared to America, but they seem to gloss over how bad pricing for private service equivalents of what those taxes pay for have gotten here in the US.
No, but combine that with SS, UI, DD&D, school tax, property tax, etc, and it's about even 'if' nothing happens to me or my fam. One broken leg and I'm dipping into savings. Add to the cost of private transportation... Basically, here in the states I work twice as hard for roughly the same financial return, but incur a non-trivial additional risk if I fall off the happy path (injury, layoff, automobile accident, etc).
The part that pins me is that I'm sooooo tired of carrying other people. I've done my fair share for well over two decades at this point, and I'm tired now.... Two more decades to go, and I don't know if I have it in me.
Last note... Our health insurance was $12K pre-AHCA. I'm literally paying for two other families health care now.
Having worked in Europe (Vienna) for some time..... The work week was a cakewalk. 40h / week with Catholic holidays. Healthcare seemed good. Retirement seemed good. Public services (transportation) was good. The bad? Taxes were literally 50%.
Here in the US, I work 90h a week. Good healthcare for my family costs me $38k a year. I've trained overseas replacements six times, and been fired twice, only to be rehired as my overseas replacements quit due to lack of competency.
Really? Do you have any documentation of that? I can't recall ever having had that particular hallucination, nor do I know anybody that has (at least, that they've communicated with me.
and how it harms people is false positives. the more you put faces into the system the more it starts producing false positives(a true fact with automatic facial matching) - now if the operators are too stupid to understand possibility of false positives then they will order a swat strike even if the suspect could not have been anywhere near the crimes alleged.
I'd like to try to make the point that, since FR tech doesn't actually recognize faces, all results (including correct matches) are false positives.
This may seem like an odd question, but is it now OK to steal form international human smugglers, drug czars, money launderers, and criminal organizations? Two decades ago, the answer was a pretty clear "No, it's illegal to steal millions from a Colombian drug czar". Was wondering if this has changed recently.

When my phone rings and I'm driving, I'll look at the front of it, to see who is calling. If it's important, I'll park and call them back. If not, I'll wait till I get to my destination. On occasion (city driving), I'll take a moment to turn off the ringer so that I do not encounter subsequent distraction.
It's unfortunate that, even though I do not use a cell phone while driving, I'm still breaking the letter of the law.
Imagination has a significant number of GPU patents (they’ve been at this for over 20 years), so developing a GPU that doesn’t infringe on those patents would be difficult to do, especially in the mobile space. Apple couldn’t implement Imagination’s Tile Based Deferred Rendering technique, for example, which has been the heart and soul of their GPU designs.
Since patents only last for 20 years, and the first Tile based PVR was released in 1996...... Why couldn't Apple use Tile Based Deferred Rendering?

Uber is currently cheap because they're using VC money to subsidise every ride and making a loss to build up market share.
I've read this several times this year, and I have to say... I don't believe it.
With Uber, I pay for the ride. 80% goes to the driver, 20% goes to Uber. The VC funding is only subsidizing Uber's sophomoric corporate circle-jerk embezzlement-Ponzi scheme.... Not the rides.
With YellowCabs, the customers subsidize the corrupt-political-medalian and regulation embezzlement Ponzi scheme.
Rent is usually the biggest expense of a budget. So that's $36K for rent, leaving $124K for every other expenses. Saying it's "pretty bad" to have $10333 left to live after paying rent every month is why people around the world hate Americans. You fuckers are rich and you're still complaining.
Indeed, It appears to come down to a simple choice. Pay $3k for rent and bus/walk to work, or pay $1k for rent and take an hour long train every morning/evening. Some people just don't wanna sit on a train for 2h a day, costing them $24k a year. First world problems.

He couldn't care less about you or I or how well we are employed. Neither can anyone else in his administration. Don't fool yourself into thinking that is a good thing. It's not. It's only going to hurt us more and more each day it goes on. It's going to hurt the prestige of the nation. It's going to hurt the economic prospects going forward. It's going to affect each and everyone of us in subtle and not so subtle ways. It already has.

IFF these are true, it would be nice to Tesla prevail. I fully expected Tesla to be a Tucker repeat, and it's nice to see that they stand a chance of succeeding despite numerous forces working against them.
It pains me that this was a one-off, three week event, rather than something that is done daily or at regular intervals. Compsec is a perpetuity, not an annuity.
Expect media outlets whose owners will benefit financially from Tesla's success to report this in a positive light and pimp it hard.
