Everyone who went into that apartment needs to be put in jail for tampering with an investigation. Every cameraman, every producer, every "journalist". Everyone. I hope they get no lenience and must serve the full sentence. Working for a company that produces News does not give you the right to break the law.

spacetoaster posted:Why? What law was broken? What did they tamper with? The FBI had finished with the crime scene and turned the landlord's property back over to him. They walked into someone's house, which they had no right to enter, then started rummaging through their things. Possibly removing some of them. Man, if only there was a crime that described that sort of action.

Antti posted:Yeah, dynamite was just the first example I could think of - basically, buying explosives (or materials that can be trivially turned into an explosive). You can't buy explosives easily in the USA, except maybe black powder. But with internet access and about 10 minutes you can figure out how to build one and order the materials. The Oklahoma City bomb was basically diesel fuel and fertilizer.

Luigi Thirty posted:When you hear "there aren't enough programmers" from a tech company add "that want to work for $50k" to it. This is really regional. We were trying to hire Java coders for 75k/yr for 0-5 years of experience in Minneapolis and couldn't find people. We were only able to hire 2 of 10 positions so they hired a senior person and started training some BAs to code.

Mr. Wookums posted:I'd like to think a super neglected IT department will burn companies in the long run like a cancer, but shareholders and upper management really don't give a poo poo. Oh it does. Our company neglects IT whenever possible. Which is why 1/2 of the people do drat near no work and get away with it. Management doesn't want to deal with IT so with no real oversight it just becomes a super inefficient bureaucracy. Eventually a technologically competent competitor will enter the industry and put the old players out of business. Pretty much like what Amazon did to Sears and the rest of retail.

zoux posted:I'm more talking about their lower paid warehouse workers than their bamboozled technical staff who think that being exploited and working free overtime is being a good team player. I took that NYT piece with a grain of salt. I've known people who worked at Amazon IT and had dramatically different experiences. But that is the way big companies are. I worked at a company that most people said was one of the best in the world to work far. Even other people on the project loved it. But I got saddled with a manager who was a grade-a sociopath and liked to scream, yell and intimidate people. I was forced to work asinine hours, was routinely insulted, screamed at and forced to work holidays or weekends for no reason. He was physically aggressive pounding tables and putting his finger right up in your face while yelling at you. For fun that manager was also the guy who didn't feel safe walking around Edina with out a gun. Meanwhile other teams on the project were cruising to an easy 35 hour work week and tons of fringe benefits. It was pretty blatantly a hit piece due to the ongoing Publisher/Amazon feud. The NYT article boiled down to "Some of the bosses at Amazon are assholes". Yeah, I'm sure most of them are. I'm also sure most of the bosses at any company are assholes.

zoux posted:Yeah I know and that people defend that shows how hosed up our business culture is. That was intended to point out that big companies can't have a single uniform culture, despite how much they claim to. You can't get 10,000+ employees to all have the exact same treatment and experiences. Which is why I lead with friends who had worked there and had a pretty good experience.

computer parts posted:You can sure as poo poo reduce the variability in experience though. To an extent. But all it takes is one rear end in a top hat in a managerial position to make some people miserable. Minimizing the number of assholes reduces the chances and decreases the severity, but you can't hit 0. I've had plenty of experiences where one group at a company was great to work for but the next one over was miserable. The saying "People quit their boss, not their job" has a ton of truth to it.

Let the DNC and Bernie hash it out. It is the #1 story on Google News right now. Clinton asking the DNC to reinstate his access, if he fires the people behind the breach, is the 100% correct move. If only because it gives the DNC and DWS political cover to back down with out losing face.

Trabisnikof posted:I grant you that, but last I knew it was still difficult for campaigns to use vendors other than ngp-van and maintain data consistency with the party. Even if it was ngp-van contracted to build the interface that allows other vendors to be used by campaigns it would be better than the vendor lockin that exists. Because half the time the interface won't work. And when the campaign is over and broke who is going to pay to fix it? Having a single source of truth and system of record is worth a vendor lock in.

Most of the cost would be sunk into extracting from the old data sources, with each one requiring some level of custom development, then having to deal with the data quality issues that come from using dozens of amateur systems as sources would be another nightmare.

If insurers stop covering high school football teams, a lot of programs will be eliminated and the talent funnel will shrivel all the way up the chain. I have a cousin who is a high school football coach. It was amazing to watch him spin the concussion scandal. "Well, you see no sport is with out risk. People are just panicking because 'concussion' sounds scary. But we used to just call it 'getting your bell rung' and everyone was fine with it".
