You hired this employee. Chances are you started off with a relationship of mis-trust:
- You did a criminal check on the hire
- You did a drug check.
- You did a credit check.
- You did personality test.
- You used Shockley style brain-teasers to see if they could do things other than what their jobs entail because you don't know how to measure skill, intelligence, or talent.
- You interviewed in a style of hazing akin to a gang-bang... And you still were too stupid to figure out whether or not you had someone who could do the job right.
Sorry, but the tone of the summary makes you look like an asshole, and you deserve whatever you get. This is your wake-up call.
If you define someone who carries on the Bush policies of drone warfare who targets more brown children than Bush ever did as a "good man"...sure, you're spot on.
I would lead a bit differently than I but he's NOT a "Baby Killer",
Is it mincing words to call him a "Child Killer" instead of a "Baby Killer"? I don't like either Romney nor Obama, but at least Romney doesn't have blood on his hands by way of a high tech Milgram experiment (droning, death "without consequence").
He's your president. He's your supreme leader.
Hogwash. Tell that to Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, an American citizen who was killed without a trial and due process. Sorry, just because he didn't push the button doesn't mean he isn't to be held accountable for the savage action. Your "supreme leader" is a traitor to the Constitution he has sworn to uphold, and does not deserve the respect you think he does.
Are "American interests" worth more than a human life of someone in a country that the US is not at war with ? (in Yemen, Pakistan, etc)
The average wage slave loses 38% of their take home pay, and then there are the hidden costs of inflation, state & local tax, and the cost increases for businesses that also has to pay taxes.
By the time all is said and done every dollar spent is under close to 75% taxation, which is not just a small subset, it's a majority.
Mitt has more money than the previous ten Presidents combined, and he thinks that it is OK for a US President to hide his money overseas to avoid paying US taxes. What kind of an example does he set when he thinks it is OK for a US President to do this?
You've got Stockholm Syndrome. Let's end the cycle of abuse and lower taxes for all to a rate that is enjoyable: 0%.
Why can't he be arrested under the laws too? Brewing in a building held in the public trust... Next thing you know they will be brewing in courtrooms, libraries, and public schools.
In a true free market, I would be able to put rat poison in a can labeled NUTRITIOUS FOOD and sell it.
... and in a true free market after your arbiters and their arbiters got together, privately hired thugs would come by and dispose of you for your aggressive deception in the market.
The two prevalent views in these replies fall into the a) Constitution should cover it all b) Constitution is outdated. I get that.
However, the scope of these laws are getting more and more specific and represent the same kind of tyranny (Intolerable Acts/Coercive Acts) that the
Colonists were trying to get away from. The laws however crafted, if *necessary*, need to be short and sweet. If the power granted by a new law cannot fit into one or two paragraphs these laws should be thrown out, and the representatives should go back to the drawing board.
The same with public transport. Unless it reaches everywhere, it isn't usable. That is why early electricity producers PAID big bucks to get everyone hooked up. But they would only do that where it made sense. Getting a line out to the farms often didn't. And so they didn't.
Society NEEDS infrastructure even in areas YOU as a person never use. That road to nowhere DOES go somewhere and those people at the end need it.
And if left on their own, without forcing everyone to pay for it, one of two things would happen: 1) The people leaving themselves out in the middle of nowhere will pay a premium among (hopefully) several competing delivery firms. 2) They would move to a location more amenable to service. (Location,location, location)
Don't believe it? Go live in areas of the world where only individual interests are catered for. Somalia is nice for that.
Ah yes, the half-assed "go move to Somalia" argument. The mess Somalia was left in is the result of post WW2 intervention and the damning effects of the previous socialism that existed there and its gun toting neighbors of Ethiopia and Kenya.
"From a U.S.-backed Ethiopian invasion and brutal military occupation that left more than 16,000 civilians dead and forced hundreds of thousands to flee their homes, destroying the first semblance of normalcy the country had experienced in nearly two decades, to an ongoing U.S. war involving CIA torture chambers and drone strikes, Somalia has been ravaged by powerful nation-states, not anarchy.
But hey, let's put that all aside and just concede for a moment that Somalia is in fact some anarchist's wet dream, "a libertarian's paradise." Let's just ignore the fact Somalia was ruled by a military dictator for decades and not make the cheap point that the period preceding its current "anarchist" stage therefore indicts anyone who believes in the justness and necessity of centralized power."
Isn't this the kind of thing that the SEC has purview over?
If the employees approached the SEC and told them about this unconscionable move against them, couldn't they make it difficult to allow Zynga to IPO until the situation is remedied?
In software development we have a concept of refactoring: "a disciplined technique for restructuring an existing body of code, altering its internal structure without changing its external behavior".
How do the candidates feel about refactoring all of our laws, rules, and regulations for simplicity?
You can't have it both ways -- first accusing of wanting to have the view as my way, and then against the general accepted view of the majority. Most people, liberty loving people see the view my way and in this case, since no one is harmed by this expectation it probably is morally correct.
You've only just proven yourself to be obstinate and disagreeable, citing irrelevant causes.
All of these incentives and perks that everyone runs around and demands as "rights" (healthcare, retirement, pension, social security etc) are increasing the total costs of goods that get passed along to consumers too. But, people such as yourself don't even see those real costs to the employers because all you are looking at is a simplified hourly rate, and not all the extra paid by your employer on your behalf.
The minimum wage laws were enacted to help protect worker rights in sweatshops long ago, and now we are competing with other nations that don't have minimum wage laws, and have sweatshops. (and doing badly at it) By supporting minimum wage we are letting the government put us at a disadvantage among other nations in the marketplace, and by adding more government taxes for services we are putting a bigger monkey on the backs of small and middle sized business owners.

I can buy into Linus's law for the idea of making public problems that exist in security and software. However, this goes above and beyond and has directly subjected 100,000 users purposefully to unwarranted intrusion (an act of aggression) on their communications directly. It doesn't matter *who* does this. It is wrong.
reasonable expectation of privacy: An objective, legitimate or reasonable expectation of privacy is an expectation of privacy generally recognized by society.
Is it a public service as a researcher to point out that if a person's home which appears to be secure is currently no longer secure while leaving the front door wide open? Perhaps.
Is it a public service for the researcher to walk inside and help themselves to your wife and your beer? Absolutely not.
Where do they get off calling these guys researchers, when they are clearly criminals attempting to invade the reasonably expected privacy of Skype users and BT users? These guys are peeping toms at best and identity thieves at worse.
Hold the organizations that employ these guys accountable.
What makes his story interesting is his dedication to a problem that most people seem to think is intractable to the average problem solver. It is the dedication of man to a task -- Learning and experimenting for knowledge sake.
We told the medical equipment company we didn't have insurance and suddenly the price was just under $60/month. What does that mean? They overcharge the insurance companies by at least 3x what their actual costs are because they can.
When you buy a car, or a home, if you sign up for the "finance plan", you are amortizing the cost because you don't have the money to pay outright. The overhead of the insurance cost is the same thing.
People who can afford to pay should pay, and not pay interest in the form of an insurance scheme. The total cost of health care is high specifically because we are sharing the burden with and of our fellow delinquent and deadbeat citizens with many medical problems.
