leaks...show that these people are complete slime and probably shouldn't be trusted to clean your toilet, let alone run your country.
Sorry, but you are naive. Politics is slimy and always has been. If the revelations of the leaks shock you, then you dearly needed that education, and probably more.
The work-place is Dilbertian bullshit, and large institutions even more so. Humans are merely talking apes who fling virtual poo if they are not allowed to fling real poo.
Honest politicians get bulldozed over by the rush of slimers wanting their spot.
But this just isn't true. Every company is saying there's nobody to hire.
That's because they want an EXACT match. If you are more flexible and allow a bit of training, that won't be a problem. If you need an MS-Sql DBA, then hire an ex-Oracle DBA and give them time to train.
But claiming the people who get laid off have no future in I.T.? That's FUD, plain and simple. The trend to cloudify everything is still strong, but I've worked in the field long enough to say I'm confident it's going to trend back the other direction in the next decade or so.
That's still a long time to wait. The problem for those laid off is that there's too many people in similar situations chasing after the same few job openings. Maybe it will eventually work its way out, but it could be an ugly ride.
Even if we could travel at the speed of light, we probably couldn't even catch/contact many of those near the edge of detection, yet still visible.
Due to accelerating expansion, they would be moving too fast to catch by the time we got close.
Thus, they are effectively shut off from us such that we perhaps should consider them just shadows of the past, fossils, rather than tangible things. If they launch ET or messages from ET, they better do it soon, or should have already done it, if they want us to see.
Note they are NOT traveling faster than the speed of light from our perspective. From our perspective they are slowing to a crawl, nearly frozen. Thus, no violation of the speed of light is happening (relatively speaking). That's why their "light" is shifted to the infrared spectrum: their "waves" are slowed down for us, wiggling real slow. From "Gods'" perspective perhaps we can say some are or will be rushing away from us faster than light, but us muggles don't get to see it.
but due to caching issues, many of its customers were still experiencing issues.
Caching can be a PITA. Our org's default PDF viewer caches pages, and we constantly get complaints about users seeing outdated info. It doesn't respect the usual conventions of "no-cache" meta tags and even F5. Adding a random URL parameter sometimes works, sometimes not.
Isn't caching also a security risk? If you discover bad content, such as malicious embedded JavaScript, you'd want it replaced immediate with the good version when available.
I find it difficult if not impossible to believe that Wells Fargo management didn't know this was going on.
Being a worker at many Dilbertvilles, what the top managers do is set stringent goals, and order their immediate underlings to carry out the goals. Any "problems" are to be solved by the underlings, and the underlings get any of the blame. Example:
Level 3 Boss: "Hey, Level 2 Boss, these tough sales quotas are resulting in our region's staff doing underhanded things to reach them."
Level 2 Boss: "Well, tell them not to, and fire them if they keep doing it!"
Level 3 Boss: "Then we wouldn't have any employees left because these are tough quotas."
Level 2 Boss: "I have full confidence in your ability such that I know you'll find a way to solve the wayward employee problem AND reach the sales quotas."
During a trial, the Level 3 Boss can say, "I asked my subordinate to solve the problem, and they didn't. It's not my fault: they failed to do their job."
A given level rigs it so that they get the credit for the good news and the level below them gets the blame for bad news. It's happened many time that if I build a great mouse-trap, my supervisors take the credit, and if something goes wrong (my fault or not), *I* get the blame. "Mr. Tablizer pushed the wrong button and F'd it up. I reprimanded that slacker." I've generally come to accept it as standard practice and psych myself up not to take the blame personally. I'm essentially a professional scapegoat/lightning-rod: go with the flow. (Sometimes I can trade being the scapegoat for more interesting projects as compensation. Fortunately I'm not in a sales-driven section for now.)
Plus, to compete with other cheaters at the same level, the bank employees also have to cheat. Thus, it's cheat or be fired to keep up with the cheating Joneses.
The top managers probably indeed know its a pressure cooker, but the problems of the pressures are aimed at and pushed on their underlings. The Blame Pyramid is carefully crafted that way. How do you objectively measure "unrealistic pressure"? Since cheating isn't tracked, they can claim they have no way to know if its a bank-wide problem. If they discuss it as a possibility, it's not written down.
government of California will not be satisfied until the last evil "business" has been driven from the state...
I'm surprised they don't test in the 3rd world where fewer formally care if people die from mistakes. I'm not condoning it, only putting on my Profit Hat to ponder it from Toyota's perspective.
I do think CA should accept some degree of risk to spur new businesses, but if preventable problems such as those related to safe coding practices are reasonable, then I believe Toyota should be expected to take such precautions.

So that's what happens when you multiply Null by 20.
Comey and Putin will both be sooo happy
Worse, this could mean there are millions MORE trumps out there. Tread carefully...

It's okay, us Slashdotters rarely mate.
That's just a rumor spread by a loud gun-hoarding ape-kissing maniac. Ignore it.

Since about half the nation believes that "corporations are people", Wells Fargo should get the equivalent of the electric chair.
Fire all the executives, auction the bank off, and give the auction proceeds to the victims. (And put the executives on trial.)
Fry away!
Trump-A-Matic?
Or Bill-A-Matic also, possibly.
Expected Rush response: "See, he wants to automate his mass gun grabbing!"
We automate the rejection:
If Sen. Feinstein paid her outsourcer a little more, they could write up custom replies instead of canned ones:
"It's needful to the university's bottom line that you be shit-canned. Raj in Mumbai."
"Kim Jong won't let me shop for jeans, OMG, the Horror!"

Toyota's had enough of those, for sure
