All the worst software I've seen has been niche custom software built by medium sized businesses with overconfident, marginally competent internal teams managed by marketers promoted outside their competence. That formula plus about five years leads to consistent trainwrecks.
It's a surprisingly common pattern. Can be lucrative. If they haven't let it go too far before panicking and if they recognize their fundamental mistake. If the marketer is still there to 'direct the recovery', run away. That basically means they still think they can fix in on the cheap.
That same manager is the likely cause of 90% of ERP failures.
Use your time to send out resumes by the hundred, consider it a top priority fire. Use your phone as a hotspot to do it. One thing they can all manage to afford is big brother.
IT _is_ nothing but a cost center at that place, it will continue to be that way until it becomes the scapegoat for failed IT security. Vote with your feet. Run away!
Any supposed pickup line that starts with 'Hey baby' isn't likely serious.
BTW the technology for one person to wear a VR helmet while the other provides 'feel around' is here today. Generating it on the fly, based on actual motions will have to wait.
'Hey baby If you just wear this VR helmet, I'll look just like Brad Pitt while we're fucking.' Once she puts hers on, you get the second hidden one out for yourself.
The VR headset will just be the modern version of complete total darkness.
Those people are called the ACLU. Take it up with them.
Commitment has historically been a mechanism of police states. Never forget that. The flipside of loonies shitting in the streets is people with wrong opinions sitting in the loony bin.
Too complicated: Long/short, odds you want, duration (15 min, half hour, hour) amount of bet. Bang, deal should be done and legal. No account required, pre-paid CC accepted. No bitcoin.
Use solar powered AI for your option pricing model!
Damn SEC with its qualified option trader rules. Just doesn't want anybody cutting in on the state lotteries business IMHO.
I think Joe sixpack should have just as much access to legal short term, high odds bets/investments, as wall street high rollers.
Bitcoin futures can put the lottery and bookies out of business. Who is 'making' this market? At this volatility? Good luck to them, if it works it will be insanely profitable. There are tons of compulsive gamblers, just got to get between them and the lottery vendor.
Needs a good web frontend for short term simple bets: e.g. bet (er invest) $___ 1:1, 10:1, 100:1 (long/short) for market clearing in 15 minutes. Bang, verify, clear payment, bets on.
You don't get to pull definitions out of your ass.
It's a viable business. Their employee's lives my not be viable, but that's their own fault. Their purpose is to serve as a warning to the next generation. Don't make the choices they made.
Unless you're an American citizen living in Puerto Rico, then you don't pay federal income tax at all.
Been wondering, what's the legal requirement to become a Puerto Rican? Better than giving up your citizenship, especially if you don't have to actually live in the shithole.
Dealers/smugglers provide a useful service. Walls have zero chance of effecting that commerce anyhow. They can't even keep drugs out of maximum security prisons.
Sure, but on point, a 'flash car' will produce the impression of financial success, even power.
Even if it really says: 'Too stupid to buy a car that he can afford.' or even 'stupid enough to knock half the resale value off his supercar by fucking with it, making it slower.'
Further, let's not forget there are another category of 'birds'. The ones that like actual fast cars/drivers. Winning at the racetrack also gets attention, no matter how low dollar the racing is.
The best time to look for a job, is when you've already got one. Than you can just laugh about the bad ones, recreate 'Monty Python' skits ('Management trainee interview') in the HR office.

That's cause you're bragging about it.
They were 'computers' well before that.
By Computers I mean math execution units. IIRC It took thousands of person years of work to calculate the shape of the B-29's wings.

Shrinks are nuts. They choose their carrier in hope of someday diagnosing and fixing themselves.
The Diceman? Bill Burr?
$600/hour is kind of cheap.
Nothing total and complete darkness wouldn't fix!
American citizens living in Puerto Rico _don't_ pay federal income tax. I'm just considering getting a mail drop there and lying a bit.
Where the 10-99s originate might be a problem though.

That last thing, that's just called shorting the market. If you do it, you gotta expect the broker will too. Just so they can cover, it's all good.
Where can I get a betting line on Trump's antics?

It's basically a bad knockoff of the old Steve Jackson game, Illuminati.
Not as funny though.

The two foot wide tires at the back will give it away anyhow.
People farming 5-10 acres are doomed anyhow. They survive nowhere in the modern world.
Increasing the average farm plot size should be a goal.
Charities are often scams on both sides. e.g. The Clinton Global Fund. Why did it's funding go dry the day the bitch lost?
Piranha fish!
The real answer is EU style work papers and fines for employers. The wetbacks will go home on their own when they can't find work.
Whoever 'hacked' the DNC and Hillary is a hero!
