Sometimes, but not often. Cops seem to lose the in-car footage anytime it reveals something damaging to them. Also, "inadmissable as evidence" happens to damning footage as well. Judges and DAs side with the cops because there i

I suspect that it has a lot to do with the sheer amount of data these cameras generate. I know that a lot of agencies have gotten grants to buy body cameras, but the ever-increasing data storage costs are causing them to have to abandon th

That's such bs--as if the markets couldn't determine prices at anything but sub-microsecond velocity. No, HFT is the ultimate rent seeking.

I disagree that it works--it's just that it hasn't utterly failed yet. Big difference. If you look at failed states, the bandits won. Argentina comes to mind, maybe Venezuela. Brazil is headed there.

I don't see it that way at all. Trump is not responsible for what has taken place here, as fun as it is to blame him. I see him as someone who is trying to undo a lot of the problems and fix them but he has no support from either the

I have the same thoughts every July 4th. I ask myself 'what exactly am I celebrating here?' Our rights and freedoms seem heavily curtailed and most people have to work and are wage slaves in service of their debts. I am debt-fre

I don't know why someone downvoted you for this because it was news just the other day that Sessions said this. While I think Sessions is perhaps competent as AG, I don't know why he has such zeal for asset forfeiture. Why can&#

I'm at the point where I think developers should bid on specific projects and not be full time employees, ever.

It was a dumb example, that's all. In 2005, I went from being a state employee to a contractor and doubled my pay that year. Is that relevant, though?

To have plausible deniability, yes. Maybe they don't wish to destroy it as much as damage it using a laser or they have some way of pushing it out of its orbit or causing it to go out of control. Say the US attack satellite was 20km

Devs get ping-pong tables because they can be bought off in other ways besides money because they are naive. I loved your comment about "max out wealth" because that is the underlying truth to all of this--you get maybe 30 years t

I love how you whitewashed the "strong personalities" bit--yeah, those people are assholes who mistreated the developers. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

So you get six more months out of a skilled employee. Most managers I know would take that deal. They would see it as an opportunity to have six more months to retain that person or at least kick the can down the road a bit longer.

That effectively never happens, or hasn't happened for me. My relationships with managers have always been cordial but we both know the truth. As a developer, it is very hard to ever become anything but a developer. Companies say th

That's good advice. Chances are if you are thinking about moving on it is not just the pay that's a problem. I have seen this situation play out so many times. People who don't move around aren't being paid what they&#
