It only matters if the employee is being replaced within a 90 day period. It also is NEVER investigated. I think the investigation rate is like 4 companies every year in the US. There are only ~30 companies across the US (mostly shell companies) that have ever been actually restricted from getting H1B's and even with the previous "convictions" they're STILL allowed to continue requesting H1B's, they just have to promise they're now really doing their job.
The H1B is a loophole and enforcement is a joke. As a decision maker at a company, it is very easy to go down the route, find an employee (PhD) that wants to work for you at $24k/year, post the job on an obscure site and make the requirements impossible to meet, then hire them. Compared to a 200k/year US-side employee, the decision is easily made.
What many people don't understand is that bankruptcy is a perfectly valid and often necessary legal strategy for a company to take. Bankruptcy often does not mean a company is out of business, you have several steps before that, often a simple restructuring of debt can result and make the company profitable again.
People think of bankruptcy as an easy way to get out of massive debt but bankruptcy courts loathe making such final decision as do the banks, in most cases you end up being forced to refinance all your debts in longer term loans or your assets get sold.
They are not counted in the media reports which is what people are basing this 'outrage' on. The absentee ballots are reported by the government "in the final totals for every election" (FVAP) which doesn't happen until some time mid-December.
This is the kicker: "It is not meant to deny a reasonable judgment by the people. It is meant to be a circuit breaker — just in case the people go crazy."
These people have decided that the majority of the country "are crazy" and that therefore it is okay to just ignore their choices. It's just another form of "well they're black, therefore we can ignore their vote".
The circumstances of any previous deviation from the final votes were very different than these. In both cases it was a very close race with a single state being the decider. In this election you'll need to flip quite a few more, the election didn't get decided in either Florida or New York, Clinton is SEVERAL states behind and only has a small lead (1M) in the 'popular vote'.
The popular vote is not accurate though. Many states stop counting when a winner is clear and many states don't count the mail-in votes at all unless it's really close. Even so, only three states continued counting giving Clinton almost 1M (1/300) edge according to Politico (not sure where the 2M+ figures come from).
The reality is that nearly all counties (communities really) in the US voted Republican even in NYS and CA, outside the cities EVERYONE wants Trump by a 80/20 margin. That's why the electoral college exists and why they typically go along with their constituencies.
They are literally commercializing schools similar to Trump University.. Didn't surprise me given this is an unholy union between Microsoft, Facebook and Pearson.
Most sources for true journalists are "illegal", pretty much every company and government agency has policies against talking about anything going on internally.

If you only want information available through official government channels, we wouldn't need news, we'd just wait for the next government approved message.
They are in the public domain, you can in fact threaten to sue people when they use them or collect royalty payments for them. Threatening to sue or collecting owed debts in a commercial setting is entirely legal and possible because the company does not enjoy the same protections a consumer has.
In fact, a debtor can sell your personal debt to a commercial collection agency if you ever start a business and they can continue harassing you without limits because a commercial debt does not have the same protections.
Not just pruning, grafting as well and recently, DNA testing before planting to make sure you get the desired shelf life, firmness etc with gene editing (CRISPR) already being developed commercially for certain crops and from what I hear, R&D startups are starting to work on gene editing for animal farms.
The US has not been the worlds richest country nor free for a while. They're not even in the top 5% as you claim. Even in tech, the US has been surpassed for fastest Internet speeds by countries in Africa. Organizations that track human rights have long criticized the US government not just for its treatment of captured enemies according to the Geneva conventions but also for the treatment of its citizens.
Read the constitution, electoral votes have everything to do with population. You get one electoral vote per 30.000 people and each state gets a minimum amount of votes, every few years the government has to redivide them. If you divided them strictly according to population places like New England would have 0 votes and New York and California (both which have the highest debts and highest taxes) would be the effective rulers of the US.
Yes, off course it will continue to be automated. The question is, at what point is it 'fully automated' and at what point is our entire food chain being run by a singularity (is there a difference?). People will continue to be necessary (at least for the foreseeable time) to fix the machines and make it do things.
Farms are no longer being run by 'stupid farmers' with their farmhands and maids, even a smallish sized farm (in developed countries at least) these days requires agricultural, mechanical, electrical and computer engineers. Even fruit farms (apple farms etc) genetically engineer their trees to be smaller and lower to the ground so they're easier to pick mechanically.
Clinton lost 232 - 290. Where in the world did the polls have a 20% error margin? The error margins on the polls were called at about 5-10 electoral votes, not 60. 60 is not an error margin, that's all the electoral votes of NY and FL combined, or about 4-5 entire states anywhere else.
The Dems realized they lost the vote before the entire vote was even in, the media ran the coverage and didn't call it until ~3am even though almost everyone realized by 10pm that Trump was going to be the winner. This wasn't close AT ALL. Recount, flip a state or two if you can by fraud and you still won't make it.
As far as the "popular vote", it's about 1M people difference currently, not 2M or more which the DNC keeps claiming and that's without even counting millions of mail-in votes that are typically overwhelmingly Republican. It also doesn't explain the Republican house and senate wins. People typically vote according to party lines, take away the presidential campaign and you'll see the same "problem" liberals tend to claim.
If you win elections on lies, you will wind up with a years of high crime and low production. Yes, we've had that for the last 25 years now, people are sick of it and want real hope and change. The Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations in combination with Congress have effectively destroyed all remaining trust in the political system.
As far as Bernie talking out of his ass: he seems to be the only one that has any clue these days on the left about what people want. Had the DNC listened to it's people, you would have a democratic president.
Yes, but that is the case for any singular silo of data. Unless you have the same set of data (or some form of verification) in more than one, independent data silos, there is no way of knowing for sure whether it is tampered with. You can use it to support a narrative, perhaps, but I wouldn't use it as 'evidence'.
And in UK the Brexit STILL happened despite the media declaring the majority of people was against it and it was just a small group of crazy nut jobs with ties to white supremacy and nationalistic tendencies.
The media (and the liberal elite as Bernie Sanders called it a few days ago) has gotten way out of touch with the actual voters. CNN was doing exit polls only in primarily Democratic areas. There was only one poll that consistently showed Trump ahead with the margins it eventually ended up to be and that's the only poll that also publishes it's methods, largely mocked in the media even though it had accurately predicted both Obama's victories (where Clinton also lost, against all the media proclaiming otherwise).
He owns (or is at least the boss over) the joint including the databases. Anyone who suspects that ANY big wig at Google/Reddit/Microsoft cannot simply go in and change things as they see fit for profit, legal or political reasons is deluded. Most likely there are even a host of lower level employees that can do so unnoticed.
Yes, I'm sure that's how it works. First: this was a contractor, contractors are hired because they tend to get stuff done without having to be held to any sort of regulation. It's cheaper that way and one of the reasons hiring contractors make sense.
Second: Locking down a computer that tightly is not possible on the Windows platform.
Third: I work with FDA-approved Windows versions. It's certified to be free of all sorts of tampering (because it sets among other things, radiation limits), except it's still running Windows XP, it's only relying on the built-in firewall, the only browser is IE6 and yes, you can get to the Internet on it. This is a build STILL being certified by the FDA and NIST as late as February this year. I actually have to build a custom version of OpenSwan for the remote tech service because the encryption it requires is no longer enabled in the recent builds.
It's even a "feature" not a security bug on some computers (especially tiny laptops) to have the same jacks available as both inputs and outputs. I'm fairly the MacBook Pro's with 1 jack can do it and I've seen it done on a custom computer as well.
I want to be a 'security researcher' and state the obvious.
Everything these days going wrong in information security is a 'hack'. Most likely this dude clicked on an advert on CNN and got some spyware installed.
It's not a 'hack' if it involves the user on a Windows machine installing something unsavory.
Most likely this is a large scale attack on thousands of e-mail accounts and there is some sort of threshold where Google no longer considers it likely that it was an individual person. However as we've seen with the DynDNS attacks, it doesn't take much to get major infrastructure on it's knees.

You mean, about 1.1M votes. Not sure where that 2M keeps coming out from but the full tally isn't even in.

California with a budget surplus but the largest debt at "only" 600 billion, twice that of NYS, the next runner up.
Yes, let those classical democrat states run the US in an even bigger debt than it already is.

In most cases you don't even get the fine or any follow-up. I never went to a compulsory vote, nobody ever came to pick me up or question me.
