Seriously. Why the fuck should I give a shit about the job market in the US? Especially if 99% of those "created" jobs include the phrase "Hello, welcome to Walmart".
There's a link to the Bureau of Labor Statistics report in TFA; here it is again. I believe this is what you might be looking for, since those Walmart jobs you disdain are almost exclusively part-time: "The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers), at 4.8 million, was essentially unchanged in November but was down by 858,000 over the year."
This is the number we should be looking at. Did the number of government jobs grow or shrink? You can't fire these people easily and they get a pension for life Public sector jobs will always be a net drain on the economy because they produce nothing of value that can be exported.
Well, then look at it. From the Bureau of Labor Statistics report (the subject of TFA): Employment in other major industries, including mining, wholesale trade, retail trade,
transportation and warehousing, information, financial activities, leisure and hospitality,
and government, changed little over the month.
But Santa Ana events lasting for a week straight are unheard of in the past
Bzzt! Wrong answer.
as are rates of spread exceeding 100 mph in many cases.
Bzzt! Strike two. No gusts exceeding 100 mph have been recorded in the current Santa Ana event. Gusts up to 80 mph were predicted for last night, but failed to materialize. Not uncommon for Santa Ana gusts to exceed 70 mph.
There have never been such explosive fires here (at least during the period after Europeans showed up).
Bzzt! Strike three; you're outta here. Read about the Cedar Fire of 2003, here.
"Santa Ana conditions can exist at any time in which the Great Basin tends to be cooler than Southern California -- typically the September to May period. However, the winds garner the most attention around October because of unique aspects of Southern California climate which enhances fire danger in the autumn season."
With respect to duration: "Santa Ana conditions can exist at any time in which the Great Basin tends to be cooler than Southern California -- typically the September to May period. However, the winds garner the most attention around October because of unique aspects of Southern California climate which enhances fire danger in the autumn season."
I guess "Santa Ana winds" was too pedestrian for the author. Warm, dry air driven by big high pressure areas over the desert. You could set your watch (well, your calendar anyway) by their arrival each year.
>> higher temperatures and dryer conditions providing more fuel
I thought you needed WETTER conditions to get more fuel. Is anyone surprised that there are a bunch of large fires after California's water supply returned to normal and plants had a chance to grow back? (It was as green along Hwy 1 as I've ever seen it this year.) That stuff dries out...and then burns - science, yo.
http://www.mercurynews.com/201...
Yeah, that was poorly worded. Higher temps and low humidity turn the abundant growth into more explosive fuel.
At least with the current rash of fires, firefighters haven't had to contend with extremely high temperatures; we've had highs in the low 70s all week.
Nobody keeps you from giving us a better explanation for the increasing number and severity of natural disasters.
We're waiting.
I'm a SoCal native; been living here over 0x3C years. Low humidity and high winds show up at the same time during Santa Ana events, and it happens every year. Brushfires occur so regularly that an autumn without at least one bad one is pretty rare. Maybe the reason they look like they're getting worse (causing more destruction) is that more more people are moving into fire-prone areas.
Fires don't burn like this in Northern California.
I guess this guy must have been asleep a few months ago when the Tubbs fire burned nearly 40,000 acres, destroyed nearly 6,000 buildings, and killed over 40 people In and around Santa Rosa, CA.
"AI Can Beat Humans Only One Game At a Time" headline straight after a story about AI beating various other human-beating AI's in several different games.
Yes. Several different games, played one at a time. The only thing that "Does not compute" is your reading comprehension.
This is definitely huge blunder, but a SNAFU? Because it stands for "Situation Normal - All Fucked Up" and implies something happens all the time, which is not the case here.
That's the origin, all right; however, since surfacing in WWII it's morphed from an acronym to a noun that means "a badly confused or ridiculously muddled situation". Seems appropriate in this case.
I guess they didn't make the important part obvious enough: you are going to be paying for that increased price.
And it's at least partly due to an insistence we increase border security to keep out undocumented workers from stealing jobs. Jobs, it turns out, that no one wants but need to be done in order for us all to not starve.
It says here that raising the wages of produce pickers to $15/hour would cost American households an extra $20 per year. If that's true, I wouldn't expect an uprising over increased produce prices due to increased farmworker wages.
"and of the fact that notification of the security breach is required"
Good thing they worked "If you didn't know this was a law, it doesn't apply to you" into the law itself. Nobody would EVER lie about that to get off of a 5 year prison stint...
So, you didn't read the bill. Every "covered entity that owns or possesses data containing personal information, or contracts to have any third-party entity maintain or process such data for such covered entity, to establish and implement policies and procedures regarding information security practices for the treatment and protection of personal information".
One of the required policies and procedures is "The identification of an officer or other individual as the point of contact with responsibility for the management of information security."
So the "officer or other individual" identified as the "point of contact" has no plausible deniability with respect to knowledge that notification of the breach is required by law. You can be sure that one of this individual's first acts on being identified as the point of contact would be to familiarize everyone in IT with the law; you can also be sure that this individual's first act upon learning of a breach would be to spread that knowledge as widely as possible though the highest levels of the company. Any person fired for taking such action would have grounds for a pretty awesome lawsuit.
I am more interested in
"Imposing a five year prison sentence on organizations caught concealing data breaches."
Does this mean the CEO? CIO? or Uber (the whole corporation)
We need more prison space
Well, you could actually read the bill -- there's a link right in TFS. But you won't, so here's the relevant snippet from section 1041: Any person who, having knowledge of a breach of security and of the fact that notification of the breach of security is required under the Data Security and Breach Notification Act, intentionally and willfully conceals the fact of the breach of security, shall, in the event that the breach of security results in economic harm to any individual in the amount of $1,000 or more, be fined under this title, imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both.
If you want to know what the range of fines is, go read the bill.
Immediately rescind all holiday vacation to start then correct the software.
Not rocket science, geezus.
You're right, it's not rocket science. It's pilot union science, where vacation time, once approved, cannot be cancelled. All the airline can do is offer financial incentives (limited by regulations to 150% of normal pay) to entice the pilots to cancel their vacations themselves.
this makes NPR look like a bunch of retards, which they essentially are. Starbucks latte sipping snobs who get a new Prius and Macbook Air every year. They can't even spell, but that doesn't matter because they are ABOVE that, far too important to bother with things like spell check and proofreading.
Actually, the "Hey ya'll" quote was from the pilots' union spokesman in an interview with CNBC; NPR quoted the CNBC article. Hard to tell who is the retard that didn't know that the proper spelling is "y'all"
Lets be positive here : the more Wall Street fucks with bitcoin, the less (hopefully) they fuck with the real economy. Now if they bring down the real economy a second time, no more reprieve it's guillotine time courtesy of the 99%.
Don't worry; Wall Street has more than enough bandwidth to fuck with Bitcoin and the real economy simultaneously.
Giving access to that information would get him fired. Same way a nurse giving your medical information would get canned for telling you someone else's medical information.
Same way, really? Thank you; I didn't know cell tower records were covered by HIPAA.

But has a Santa Ana ever occurred this late in the year? Generally they strike in October.
See this.

So you can play chess, go, and bunch of other games simultaneously against multiple grandmasters and win all of those games?
No, I can't. Neither can the AI, which was the original point.

Yes. Several different games, played one at a time. The only thing that "Does not compute" is your reading comprehension.

I hope everyone realizes that this quote was one of many from Reagan describing what's wrong with government.

OK, you got me with that one. So far, anyway.

"Idiot" and "member of Congress" should be flipped. As is, you are implying that all idiots are members of Congress.
