No, I'm assuming you didn't change your hiring practices to properly weed out unqualified candidates.
I am also assuming that since you said "when I founded a company" and "every developer I've hired" that you are the pricipal in the company and made the hiring and firing decisions for your company, therefore making you responsible for the four DOZEN "horribly under qualified" Indian programmers you hired since 1986...
If it's the former, I'm not aware the Federal Government established a National Religion...
If it's the latter, Jefferson himself allowed that individual states could keep their state-sponsored religions, that the federal government would not create a national religion.
Jefferson's letter is the only source of the phrase "separation of church and state" and as a private letter is not a binding legal document.
I always wondered how "unlimited" used to not even include an asterisk that redefined it wasn't considered false advertising.
Really? You don't understand the difference between 'unlimited' and 'unthrottled'? The unlimited plans we are discussing today have no actual defined data 'limit' you can consume as much data bandwidth as you like, only the first 100-200 or more Gigabytes of data are unthrottled, after you exceed the carrier-defined threshold your data rate slows down, but does not stop - if it stopped, it would be limited.
Think of bandwidth like the 'unlimited' breadsticks at Olive Garden - the first few hundred bread refills are of multiple breadsticks, but then, after say 200 refills, the waiter starts bringing you one breadstick at a time. He never refuses your request for more breadsticks, but they just start coming slower... No reasonable person would say that dropping refills of breadsticks from several per refill to one at a time was a denial of breadsticks, but when it comes to data packets people think "unlimited" = "unthrottled" and "throttled" = "no data".
Me and my wife are out of home all day working, and we reach easily 200GB-300GB per month without doing much besides streaming our favourite series, and the occasional movie - and no 4K videos involved.
If you are consuming 7-10 Gig/day, every day of every month watching your "favorite series, and the occasional movie" on your cell phones you are most definitely NOT an average cellphone user. Myself, I've never streamed a feature-length movie on my cellphone, and I suspect that is true for many/most cellphone users with data plans.
With the threshold being dropped from 500GB to 200GB, the latest move will affect customers who weren't using enough data to be caught up in the last round.
Wait, by lowering the threshold they'll snare more people? Wow, thanks for pointing that out Captain Obvious!
Was the then -- still quite new -- 1080p HD 2D television simply "good enough" for the average TV viewer?
Short answer - yes.
Longer answer - For "most" people when they first came out, 1080p was simply a bigger picture and they never even choose HD channels when available... I had several relatives that bought rear-projection HD TVs then simply watched standard definition TV on a bigger screen.
This could be solved with very high tax rates on corporate profits, dividends and income from stock sales.
I'm not sure how old you are, but in my half-century plus walking around this country I've come to the conclusion that very few problems are solved through higher taxes, at best they create as many new problems as they intended to solve.
No, the real miracles are in fetal stem cell research - why, they can whip up a cure for nearly any disease or malady that ails you, thank God the Democrats put that miracle-creating technology eligible for federal funding - remember that stupid political circle-jerk where the left told everyone that the cures for cancer, MS, epilepsy, Luo Gherig's disease (ALS), etc. were just around the corner, but GEORGE BUSH blocked funding!
You forgot to factor in all the free condoms and birth control pills and IUDs high school kids have access to now, that cuts down on the number of teen pregnancies...
I wonder in next the original poster will posit that the surge in contraception and abortions are depriving childless couples of the opportunity to adopt unwanted babies? That every abortion deprives a homosexual couple of a baby...
1 of 5 organ transplants are the result of auto accidents, most of which are caused by driver error. OK, two points for realizing that driverless cars will lead to fewer driver error accidents, but this isn't the real problem - the real problem is that people are reluctant to sign up as organ donors. For example, if we went into the most dangerous neighborhoods around Chicago and had organ donor drives we could see a definite spike in usable organ donations.
I suspect (I'm guessing) that the vast majority of documented organ donors come from licensed car drivers, why not give other groups a chance to sign-up for organ donation, maybe when they apply for government services?
The Obama administration took credit for jobs that weren't lost - an essentially made up metric they added to jobs created to claim credit for jobs 'created or saved'... I never heard that metric before Obama was in office, had you?
You can act like random tweets from the campaign trail are meaningful, that's your right, but the above were all done by our elected/appointed officials while in office.
The jobs were made possible, Trump said, through Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son, a Japanese billionaire and technology investor, who met with Trump in New York earlier this month. After that meeting, the two businessmen announced Softbank would invest $50 billion in the U.S. and create 50,000 jobs.
Trump announced the 50,000 new jobs that these 8,000 are part of - I don't understand why you felt the need to pester the Sprint press department over an obvious fact.
Trump & Son announce 50,000 new jobs, later Sprint announces 5,000 new jobs as part of the 50,000 Son previously promised - seems like a Trump win to me.
I don't think those 5,000 jobs hand-delivering cellphones announced in 2015 are the same jobs being announced at the end of 2016.
The 2015 announcement is a possible number of jobs as a pilot program grows out of Kansas City.
The 2016 announcement is a transfer of 5,000 existing jobs located outside the US into America.
One is about new jobs, the other is about existing (mostly call center?) jobs back into America.
The only two things these reports have in common is the employer (Sprint) and the number of jobs (5,000)... Is Sprint still planning to hand-deliver cellphones nation-wide? It's been well over a year since they announced plans to do this nation-wide, but I've never heard about it.
I think you're wrong. I think most people believe that at the end of tax season, if you get a refund that somehow it means you didn't pay taxes. What that often times means is that you paid too much in taxes.
No, you are wrong, more than 45% of federal income tax filers either pay zero taxes or receive refunds in excess of all monies withheld during the tax year. Low income workers with numerous dependents can actually profit from the tax code, getting back not only every penny paid in, but even more besides.

Why did you have to hire four dozen incompetent Indians before coming to this realization and (presumably) changing your hiring practices?
Of course, you realize the irony of pointing this out on a story about the government stopping these "jackoffs", right?
Are you talking about the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment or the Thomas Jefferson Letter to the Danbury Bishops?
If it's the former, I'm not aware the Federal Government established a National Religion...

What the hell does net neutrality have to do with the data limits on cellphone plans?
What the hell does Trump's winning the US Presidential election have to do with cellphone data plans?
What the hell are you talking about?

Myself, I've never streamed a feature-length movie on my cellphone, and I suspect that is true for many/most cellphone users with data plans.
Curious, which cellphone carriers are looking for users that consume 7-10 Gig of data per day?

Pity "Cash for Clunkers" didn't include CRT-based TVs...
Because it was expensive...
Because it required goofy glasses...
Because the vast majority of TV watching won't benefit from 3-D imaging...
Because 3-D content was rare...
Because the various formats were incompatible...
Because it was a solution in search of a problem?
I'm not sure how old you are, but in my half-century plus walking around this country I've come to the conclusion that very few problems are solved through higher taxes, at best they create as many new problems as they intended to solve.
I have a file drawer full of stories about states that implemented "millionaires taxes" to combat some certain problem, only to find the millionaires found a way to avoid the tax, eventually costing the state lost tax revenues, not increasing them. There was a story in the news recently about a state that had to redo their budget to address the loss of a single multi millionaire from the state...

But this happened via "social media" so it's new news. Right?
Wait, is this "new news" or "fake news", or is it "new news about fake porn producer"? Very confusing...
What! Are you serious? Porn isn't real?
"paying for porn sites"? What? People actually do that?

Who promised the Rusdian leaders he'd have more 'flexibility' after his re-election? President Obama.
Who mocked claims that Russia posed the greatest threat to America? President Obama.
Who famously attempted to 'reset' relations with Russia, with comic results? Secretary of State Clinton.
