"And so meetings felt wonderfully relaxing. They counted as work, just like programming, but they were so much easier. All you had to do was sit and look attentive." Pretty true.
Seriously, what kind of a company will design "Tombstone Cam" for surveillance in cemetery ? To catch a pervert or predator or human-eater? This is bizarre.
Funerals of 'bad guys' are a good way to learn about who is affiliated and has connections, and probably to also pick up on juicy gossip of one form or another
"You can also do client side encryption, of course, but it's much more difficult to manage because you have to deal with keys in your application."
Well,SSE-KMS is not difficult to manage if you have sensitive customers data like Capital One does. I use it all the time. You can pretty much audit the buckets and see what is going on.
And if Capital One has used SSE-KMS on the buckets,we might not be talking about this data breach today.Incompetence? Complacency?
I will add that zoning is the first thing that needs to go in San Fransisco.One of the most liberal cities in United States is not so liberal when it comes to housing.Why? Because it affects their bottom line.
Did you know that it is illegal to build apartments in over 73% of San Francisco neighborhoods?[0]
That's why I don't support this ideal of tax proposition to cater for homeless as it is being introduced. The proponents are just chasing shadow while leaving the substance.
Instead I suggest proposition to dismantle zoning as the first step in the right direction.
"Microsoft isn't the same company as ten and twenty years ago."I notice this as well. But I am trying to figure out how Microsoft will manage GitHub. Is GitHub going to be a standalone company within Microsoft or a significant part of its enterprise division?
What folks here are not talking about is how Microsoft handles LinkedIn after acquisition.
Frankly,the trickle-down economics is not working.Plain and simple. Giving the rich lower tax and expecting them to invest the money back to the economy has been proved not to be working.
And we know now that the ultra-rich folks tend to take the money,windfall from lower tax, and hide it in Virgin-Island, Panama,Cayman Island and other offshore tax havens.
"Mr. David Stockman has said that supply-side economics was merely a cover for the trickle-down approach to economic policy—what an older and less elegant generation called the horse-and-sparrow theory: 'If you feed the horse enough oats, some will pass through to the road for the sparrows.'"
It's a relatively well known fact that eg it doesn't really matter too much whether officially the employer or the employee is required to pay the employees income tax---the money comes out of the same pot.
Similar things happen for other taxes. Eg VAT in European countries seems to be paid for by the shops, but it wouldn't make a difference (apart from convenience in collection) if you'd levied it directly on the shoppers.
Any discussions about 'trickle-down economics' is incomplete without tax-incidence.
