Just because I can plop half a million down in OK and get 5,000 sq/ft palatial bubble instead of a broom closet, doesn't mean that on the other side of the bubble isn't OK.
I haven't been there, don't know much beyond the stereo types, but I looked at their promo shots. It looks rather shabby, and under resourced. I'm not sure there's much that could be wrecked; definitely could use some gentrification. Personally, if I was going to go cheap and "rough it" Tulsa certainly wouldn't fill the top slot. I'd much rather go take their median home price and head down to Nicaragua,Costa Rica, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, etc..
The only thing DRM does is turn away paying customers. If you don't want me to buy your game, the first thing you should do is disrespect me; treat my PC as if you owned it, everything I do on it, everything associated with it.
You can't fill a bucket from a thimble sized source. You have to locate where there's a large pool of talent. As it is they constantly send recruiters out across the country looking to grab talent from where ever they can find them; pay handsomely to ship their life to Seattle. Aside from giving Bezos a more comfortable commute, by dividing the HQ in two they make staffing easier. Three local talent pools, and two new offerings for enticing non-residents to relocate.
But it's a lot better than having your mistakes preserved eternally.
Unless it's in the TOS, you should have no expectation whatsoever that your "deleted" messages are NOT preserved eternally. Don't kid yourself. Facebook keeps everything, Facebook sells everything. They long ago redefined the word "delete" to mean "do not show to end-user".
All you have to do is observe the heat cast off by such a process from compressor to storage to know this to be a dubious claim. The greater the storage pressure, the worse the efficiency becomes. Never mind the challenges, expense, and hazards involved in implementing and maintaining pressure bottles. If you're free to concern yourself solely with energy density, as in this case with HPA then, you might as well bring nuclear fission--the gold standard for energy density--back on the table.
Fun fact, Infiniti infotainment displays for late model G-series as well as early Q50s had their polarization filters oriented such that if wore polarized sun glasses your displays would be nearly black (unless you tilted your head of course...). Thankfully someone finally got the memo and fixed it--for my 2018 Q50 at least.
The creditors wanted to erase the debtors from the leveraged buy out. I'm not sure if they get to erase the books of the suppliers as well, but that'd be a pretty neat trick...
If I were accused of being in league with the enemy, I think I might look at manufacturing examples of how I am not. As for H.R. 3364 specifically, you may wish to actually read the relevant sections. While the optics may suggest a certain thing, slap might not be the best choice of terms.
I don't see government in there so unless the XO covers those guys, e.g. Russia. It doesn't mean much. I have a hunch this XO was inspired more by David Hogg than Russian interference.
On a side note, for those of you who are technical analysis style investors, you might notice that a most interesting chart pattern has been forming on the US inflation rate over the last few years.
I haven't smelled their heads ever, however, they generally are not trusted by the folks the OP is trying to convince. I would suggest referencing the following chart for reasonable sources. Hint: pick a source that skew towards minimal bias and sticks to reporting facts. Alternatively accepted are the folks at the GAO and other related government bean counters like the Bureau of Labor Statistics. On related note they're showing 3.9% unemployment, not 2.9%. Also, when you rule out the management types that 2.9% wage growth shrinks to 0.3%. See (August Employment Situation Summary
In August, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose
by 10 cents to $27.16. Over the year, average hourly earnings have increased by 77
cents, or 2.9 percent. Average hourly earnings of private-sector production and
nonsupervisory employees increased by 7 cents to $22.73 in August. (See tables B-3
and B-8.)
So, I guess unless you're a management type that inflation rate of 2.9%--the highest level since 2012--is probably going to hurt a bit. Given that this next round will effectively hit everything on the shelves of Walmart, things might get rather uncomfortable indeed for his voting base.
In fairness that's not the software dev's fault. The bridge turning into a boat thing is purely a product of upper management. I do find it strange that software guys are the only ones being forced to make liberal use of fairy dust though. If you hardware guys can help us understand how to achieve rational expectations from management we'd be all over that, and, eternally grateful.
I don't believe it would necessarily result in employees getting fired for "claiming benefits." After all, who would Amazon, Walmart, et al. replace them with? There's a trouble with bills of this kind however, you're just squeezing a sponge. The water will run out elsewhere. Perhaps each retail outlet becomes it's own subsidiary.
Even if this bill did worked to bump up wages I'm not convinced it'd do much to address the underlying goal, reducing the number of at risk families. Financial insecurity is less of a cause of at risk families than it is a symptom. These folks work at places like Amazon distribution, Walmart, etc. because they cannot get a job located higher on the ladder. They lack necessary skills and/or education, many times they possess some sort of dysfunctional component: complex trauma, disability, addiction, etc.. What do you think an alcoholic would do with a bit more cash in his pocket? Pay for substance abuse therapy? Maybe, but I kind of doubt it.
How you address the issue depends upon which side of the political spectrum you're on and it's associated morality. One side will assert that it's a matter of personal responsibility, a.k.a. "not my problem" the other contends it's a matter of corporate responsibility, a.k.a. "leave no man behind". This contest between the two positions has created a stalemate. Wasting resources with half-measures like this bill. My personal morality finds me disgusted by the sight of children being trapped within their parents' destructive position in life. It astounds me that anyone can take a callous approach to this, particularly so given that the "family" is supposed to take such an elevated position within their ideology.
Spend $$$$$ monthly buying and continually expanding my manually curated collection of content that then needs to be stored in my home; which still largely means walls, closets, etc. filled optical media in the case of videos. Have buyer's remorse when I spend $$$ on a movie that turns out to be rubbish and can't stomach finishing much less view again and again.
Spend $$ monthly subscribing to a service that provides me with an expansive, continually evolving collection automatically curated to my tastes, with on-demand access wherever I go. Have great relief when after watching the first few minutes of that "really awesome movie I just have to see" turns out to be a mallet smashing against my sanity and I switch to something far better suited to my tastes--in a few seconds, never leave the couch.
Skip everything and just go outside for physical recreation. Probably spending $$$ on my new hobby.
Let's see how these trade wars, financial and environmental deregulation, consumer protection gutting, etc. pan out first before we assign the "pretty decent job" title to him. The state of the nation doesn't turn on a dime. For good or bad, the momentum from previous administrations has a rather significant reach into the next. Unless your definition of "pretty decent job" translates to "hasn't caused nuclear winter," we've some wait and see to do.
Trump was largely expected to remove government minders from business activity in conjunction with a massive reduction in corporate tax rate. This principally caused the market to become significantly overheated. As any investor with even moderate experience can tell you, a rapid rise is surely followed by a rapid descent otherwise known as "going parabolic". We experienced a taste of the descent already with a reversal in prices down to November levels. Currently institutional investors are busy selling back shares to corporations in one of the largest buybacks ever seen due to the misguided corporate tax rate cuts (did you folks really think it'd trickle down?). When the buybacks dry up I strongly suspect we'll see a much deeper correction in share prices. Strangely a certain group of people will still be singing his praise all while calling for Hillary's impeachment.

Hate to break it to you but I think OK is already pretty high up on that list.

I have basically three choices.
Whatever shall I choose..?

Had nothing to do with Bush's wars. Nope, nothing at all. The cost and benefit of prior administrations never carries over to the next.
