What a useless and incredibly vague question. What's in it for any president/politician? Money, public service, fame, patriotism, votes, bored, or a combination?
It's bad enough reading articles with no proof accuse Trump of crazy conspiracies, but to imply without evening try to come up with a conspiracy or evil motive is just lazy.
Depends on the job. If the job is complete list before going home, then yeah, they could reduce the hours
Customer service jobs (retail/phone/etc) that deal with live customers can't just reduce work days. No matter how much you automate from a job, the customers still come on their timetable.
At the end of the day. most if the increased productivity is due to money a company puts into it's systems or processes to make the current job easier/faster which allows new tasks to be added to the employee.
How should they stop it? Not allowing overtime? Micromanaging salary people more to make sure they get the full 40 hours from their employees during their assigned shifts and then not allowing them into the building / online after those 40 hours?
Having a sleep test to even walk into the building in the morning? Warn than fire people up if they have an outside of work life that conflicted with this article's definition of enough rest even though they are productive at work?
You know, every job I worked salary was like that but had the understanding that if you needed a sick day or leave early, it was understood and allowed with no issues.
It's not like that where I work now. We have to use our PTO for a doctor's appointment even if we physically work on site 50 hours. It actually pisses me off.
I fought and won with HR about not using 2 hours of PTO if I left 2 hours early but had worked 8 hours (with the stipulation on their part that there was a business need for me to be on site - fair enough) but lost when when it came to working some of those hours during the week.
It's frustrating that my hourly employees can use an hour of unpaid FMLA and have the ability to work a extra hours during the week so they can still get paid for 40 hours but I can work 40-50 hours but with no way of clocking that time while be expected to mark myself absent and unpaid for for the time I missed under the same FMLA.
I expected to get paid 40 hours for 40+ hours work. That I factored in when I negotiated my salary. I didn't expect to get paid 32 hours when I worked 40+ (unless I am willing to alos lose my PTO time.)
I think it also comes to an apathetic and miserable life we live as well as being told constantly that we can't succeed because the deck is stacked against us. It's hard to even muster the energy to try to do better when this is how you feel.
I use the steam link. I have a pretty beefy computer in the living room but I don't game enough to build another one for the bedroom. It's pretty nice being able to play games in either room.
I already had a firetv otherwise I probably would have went for the shield since the cost of the firetv + steam link + controller would come pretty close and would stop me from messing with different inputs and having multpile devices plugged in the bedroom
Do you really think so? How many people outside the tech world use email often? It's all texts and instant messaging now. Heck, we might be past that. I don't keep up
I do have to wonder if in The Force Awakens, Rey had been male instead of female if everyone's panties would be all bunched up about becoming a Jedi so quickly
Most the arguments seem to be that no male either has ever become a Jedi so fast either But maybe the rules changed after the Empire collapsed.
It's possible. What are their retention requirements? Do they have to be able to interface that data with other companies / government / people in a regulated determined time-frame?
Adding more laws is not always the best way and it's just a knee-jerk reaction. Did they already break any laws or regulation? It needs to be determined if the existing rules don't work because of how it's enforced before adding on top of those. There are already so many regulations regarding this industry that no newcomer will ever be able to enter this market.
In my city, touching your cell phone while driving is against the law - even if stopped at a traffic light. Unsafe and reckless driving was already illegal, did we really need to add another law on top of those? There is not a specific law against eating and driving, reading a book and driving, putting your make up on and driving.
This breach is bad enough that Equifax officers should see significant jailtime.
Why not IT as well? I mean, if we are going that route, than sure you would hold the people who know the technical side most liable. If someone asks me to break the law at my job, I wouldn't do it to save said job.
I get what your saying but I don't think the vast majority of people want to have to be physically present to apply for a credit card. Unless you think emailing or mailing a copy of a driver's ID should work but if someone stole my wallet, they have that.
Hell, I didn't even have to do that to apply for my USAA bank account.
There are many free ways to monitor your credit nowadays. It makes it easy for us as consumer to watch and protect our credit.
The burden should not be on the shoulders of the "identity theft" victim to prove the negative (that they did not get the goods/services the creditor is claiming that they got), but rather on the shoulders of the creditor, to prove to just whom they gave those goods and services.
How? Make people come in to get their initial credit card so a picture can be taken and other proof of identity? We can't even get people to agree that people should have to prove their identity to vote.
Well if it works for Belgium then it ill certainly work here. SWIFT hasn't been hacked at all before.
What people seem to forget when stories like this come out is that most of our government sites have been hacked as well one time or another. It's not like moving this stuff to the government will make it suddenly secure
I use usenet/newsgroups and have TWC (now Spectrum) with no issues - fast downloads with the usenet provider I have. I use to use astraweb but just changed due to payment problems but that wasn't related to TWC

Ok - lets change it.

Sure. That's why no one rich goes broke...
What a bitter world you live in.
Anyone that steals or uses people do not risk their own money regardless of wealth.

Team Star Trek made that joke and then were shocked when their shields didn't work in that universe
Drop your flamebait signature and maybe you won't get modded as flamebait. Whether you like it or not, it is part of your post.
By having that as part of your post, you make it a topic.
Up to you, just a suggestion. Might even be a bad one :)

No - just an example of adding laws on top of laws rather than juts enforcing already existing ones.
There is a star trek vs babylon 5 movie

It was actually pretty good.

But they are all BOLD and GROUNDBREAKING!
So, you're advocating for imprisonment on the basis that there was a breach?
These are the same folks who in another threads complain about our corporate prison system and jailing non-violent criminals.
This breach is bad enough that Equifax officers should see significant jailtime.

Thanks for affirming his story.
This is a common experience even though the left like to scoff us when we say anything.
You are doing something wrong.

I wonder how much of this is related to the mediums in which we now watch TV?
I haven't seen a commercial in a very long time since I watch no live sports or TV shows and Netflix doesn't advertise for movies at theaters.
China?
I think either you don't understand trickle down economics or you are under the impression that the yacht was built buy other rich CEOs
