  1. Re:Russian VPN != "Works for Russia" on 'DNC Hacker' Unmasked: He Really Works for Russia, Researchers Say (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    It has already been proved that Guccifer definitely understands the Romanian language. Someone who understands Romanian is likely to be Romanian.

  2. DONE. I go to a MD that takes no insurance and I pay by cash. If you want to you can get rid of your insurance company also.

    While I do have health insurance I go to an MD that doesn't take any health insurance because the quality of care is better and the cash price he charges me is less than an MD that takes insurance would charge.

    Your tax professional certainly does have malpractice insurance.

  4. Re:Most "automation" isn't, just like this. on Technology Is Making Doctors Feel Like Glorified Data Entry Clerks (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    No doctor can review a medical file in one minute. My medical file if printed is about one inch of paper. When I see a new doctor I provide the doctor with a one page printed summary of everything important. The doctors act grateful for me providing a summary.

  5. Re:Uhhh... on Energy Prices Skyrocket in South Australia (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    It is around $0.40 for gasoline powered home generators, but only $0.22 for natural gas powered home generators. $0.22 is often cheaper than retail electricity prices.

  6. The above post illustrates the problem. A racist post gets upvoted by Silicon Valley geeks.

  7. Re:This is better than an ICBM because...? on Russia Is Building a Nuclear Space Bomber (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    It is a very useful retaliatory weapon. Russia's ICBMs can be taken out in a United States first strike.

  8. Re:So much for rule of law on Jill Stein Pledges To Pardon Snowden and Appoint Him To Her Cabinet (zerohedge.com) · · Score: 0

    We were orally told (so there is no written record) that we would be immediately fired if we talked with government inspectors.

  9. Nope. The coup happened a few days after Russia and Turkey decided to normalize relations. It is more likely the United States is behind the coup because of Turkey's recent actions.

  10. Re:Race and Gender Diversity... on Facebook Makes Little Progress in Race and Gender Diversity (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Have ever heard a white female complain she can not obtain a job in her dream field of landscaping?

  11. Re:wrong premise on Facebook Makes Little Progress in Race and Gender Diversity (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    > those people who apply to places like Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc

    Nope. The number of minorities applying at Google and Facebook is small because few minorities are able to gain the required experience because no one in Silicon Valley will hire them.

    Anyone who has worked in Silicon Valley and has looked at their coworkers can see there is a problem. I have worked many years in Silicon Valley and I don't ever recall ever working with a black engineer.

  12. Re:Racism or availability? on Facebook Makes Little Progress in Race and Gender Diversity (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    The talent pool of black engineers is small in Silicon Valley because no one will hire them.

    While ignoring age discrimination. The chances of someone over 40 being hired by Facebook is zero.

  14. Re:Translation on 145 Tech Leaders Say 'Trump Would Be A Disaster For Innovation' (cnn.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Trump has never changed his position. He stated that the current H-1B system as being done is bad for the country. However, the idea behind H-1B visas of importing highly talented persons that the US work force can not supply as being good. The media has no interest in writing about such a nuanced opinion.

  15. Re:Meat is the cause on Obesity Is Three Times As Deadly For Men Than Women, Says Study (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    Epidemiological studies show that populations with low meat consumption have lower life expectancy.

    There isn't a legal way to make your code "public domain" in the United States.

  17. Re:Karma is a bitch on Ask Slashdot: Is It Ever OK To Quit Without Giving Notice? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you weren't a contractor, but instead a temporary employee. Every contract I have ever signed prohibited termination of the contract by either party without cause.

  18. Re:Double Standard on Ask Slashdot: Is It Ever OK To Quit Without Giving Notice? · · Score: 1

    In exchange for two weeks severance, employees are typically required to agree to not sue their employer. Employers are not providing two weeks severance out of the goodness of their hearts.

    so, that pretty much covers everything. what's left? the state from which the cheese used in federal building cafeterias comes from?

    No. That is commercial information and is not covered by FOIA.

    This whole thing is attempt by Obama to salvage a legacy. The Obama administration has prosecuted more whistle blowers than any other in history.

    Congress wrote and past this law, not Obama.

    Nice way to engage in a political diatribe, but it is the liberals who are cutting the funding and stopping more content coming online.
