How many of the republicans were just against it because Dems where for it. Now they have the nice situation where they have what they want while they can blame somebody else.
This will cause people to vote for them and then in a few years time they are in favour and the Dems are 'against'.
There are no two different parties. There is one big one.
I think the name is doubleplus good. I mean, we have always been at war with terrorism/drugs/childporn. And don't forget: War is Peace Freedom is Slavery Ignorance is Strength
I see the frist step not in encryption, but in verifiation in that the sender is who he claims he is.
If this helps to have more people use it that way, I am all for it.
e.g. I have a dedicated email adress for e.g. my bank bank.com@example.com. That way I can already filter out those who pretend to be my bank. It would be better if they used a PGP signature so I can verify if it really IS the bank sending me something (Or any other company) or if it just qn elite hqxor who changed the from adress.
To me email encryption is not the main factor, signing of emails/messages is.
What we really need to think about is not hwo much jobs we will loose, but what we will do with the gained time.
What happens now is that if you have 100FTE working and you get a new system, you fire 25 and pocket the money. That means 25 people have lost their jobs.
What would be ideal is that you lower the workload for all. So people instead of working 40 hiurs only work 30.
The means people have more time to live a life. Instead what happens is that the 75 remaining start to work even longer hours at an even lower pay. As the work that needs to be done is limited, the 50 remaining work 60 hours.
The result is that half have no life because they have no free time and the other has all the time, but no money.
It is almost the same as with food scarcety. It is not that there isn't enough, it is how it is distributed.
Exoerienced people will do better than people with no experience. Hence using the front or the back. also theywill have knowledge what the value of items is compared to the sale value, compared to the buying value.
Sure, I now what I payed for my 27" 4K screen, but I have no idea how much I could sell it for. And I would have no idea for any other items.
And then there is bandcamp.com where the money goes directly to the artists, minus a reasonable amount that is clear upfront for the artist.
But to be fair, copyright was never about the artist. It was about the copyrightholder, so unless you are a songwriter, copyright is not for you. I can imagine that is why 25 people write a song now: s they all can get a cut.
I am so glad they finally are doing what everybody is asking for. We hear a lot of complaining that all schools do is learn people to take tests. And now finally we prepare students for the real world. . . . . . . . ..
There are right ways of doing thiongs and wrong ways of doing things. What seems to be working in Europe is Open Plan per department or parts of departments if they become to big.
You do not want people from one department mix with people from another department, because their working enviroment is different. I have know departments where when you entered, you could not hear anything. It was as if somebody had died, but they like it that way. The same company a different department there was laughter and noise all the time. Others hated it, but they loved it. Then the place where there was music on all the time. Not my typo of music, but they liked it.
All had managers on the floor who agreed with or even enforced those rules. I know that people were hired not only on skill, but also if they would fit into the group. e.g. if you were a very outgoing person, you had no chance of getting into the 'dead room'. If you were socialy awkward, no going to the 'laughter' room.
In almost all cases, it was up to the manager to dowhatever he liked with his department, as long as it was legal and he produced whatever his department was ment to produce, be it calls, code, accounting or sales.
I can imagine that here in Europe, you need to have X m^2 per person, because I never saw anybody cramped into spaces, unless they were planning on moving or getting extra space within 6 months. And most of the time that ment moving departments around.
I have never worked anywhere else but on an open floorplan. basicaly at least it is each department that has their own room. Directors will have, most of the times, a separate office due to the fact that they will have some need for cprivacy due to confidintiality, but most of the trime this is limited to glass walls, so you can't hear what they are talking about on the phone.
Managers are sitting on the same foor as the rest though.
Only in once place I ever worked or visited, they had semi-walls between desks. I had them removed and the first two days they hated it (because people hate change) and afterwards they loved it. Noise went down. Morale went up. Productivity improved. Everybody happy (except for one person who now had to work)
I have seen many offices in Europe and basically they all had some sort of open floorplan. Some were huge rooms. Those I did not like. I was like sitting in a huge factory. Mosty had rooms where rooms were devided in departments, where each department would have one room.
Often the rooms where connected by halls, but seldom by doors or the doors. And if there were doors, they would be open anyway, unless there was a good reason to have them closed, like airo, or security.
I know (from experience) I would be less productive in a cubicle or in my own office. I know (again from experience) this is the case for the majority of people. Sure, it won't be ideal for everybody, but even those who think it won't be good, most of them it will be.
I am sure everybody here will say "But I get distracted when I have people around me. I am a loner. I dfo not need anybody because I code." Great, get to your moms basement and unsubscribe form thios social media called/. if you are not a social person.
OTOH if you are like the IT Crowd, you are still an awkward social being. (Yes, I know YOU are special and not like all the rest, get in a room with all the other ones, just like you)
They are journalists not scientists. the reader is the product. Except for the subject there is no difference between a scientific or e.g. a sports or gossip journalist.
We also have a situation where even if the countries are saying they got rid of them, we would not trust those governements to tell the truth.
And even then some other will assume that even thpugh they say they are not there and investigations show they are not there, somebody will assume they are there.
And for now it might be a safer place. We only have 50 years of history to look at and that means not a lot. Wars are done more economically at the moment. Invading the USA or Russia or China is not detereed by the fright of an Atomic war, but because there would be nothing to gain.
Imagine Russia invaded China (or whatever countries) what would they gain that they not already could get by economics?
The people who are able to start a war are not interested in wathever wealth you think your country has. They already have it.
So that leaves the lunatics. They would also not be detered by the prospect of being anilated.
Do we live in a more peacefull period? Yes. Is this due to Atomic weapons? No. I believe this is just a shorter period that will end at some time. I just hope that the short period is a few hundred years.
âoePeople are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from the buses that imply youâ(TM)re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.
You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.
Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. Itâ(TM)s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially donâ(TM)t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, donâ(TM)t even start asking for theirs."
This will work if the situation we are in is the worst situation. I am sure that it still can get worse. One thing that could happen is that you ar eforced to verify that you are not offending any patent for anything that you produce.
Don't assume that a change in law will mean an improvement.

As individuals you can. As a group apparently you can't. Remember: Persons are smart, people are stupid.

On a positive note: in 5% of the times it worked all the time.
What we really need to think about is not hwo much jobs we will loose, but what we will do with the gained time.

It is almost the same as with food scarcety. It is not that there isn't enough, it is how it is distributed.
And in Europe, checks are not even used anymore. One of the next things might be driving, or at least trucking.
I forsee some in the call-center industry as well. And even if jobs will not be gone completely, they will be reduced in a serious way.
We already see less cashiers in the retail industry where you get the self checkout.
Exoerienced people will do better than people with no experience. Hence using the front or the back. also theywill have knowledge what the value of items is compared to the sale value, compared to the buying value.

Taking less calories out. Many people who did sports and stop will gain weight while eating less.

So the question stands: would YOU want a camera pointed at you all day? I am sure somebody will come up with an excuse why it would be needed.
