Not surprising if you can detain people for long periods under harsh conditions without charging them. If they confess, it counts as a win. If they don’t, you release them but it’s not a loss (as they were not charged).

Well, I’m retired now. I only had 4 jobs after finishing my BS.

Interesting. I remember very strict rules on turning in programming assignments (as a student, and later TA). On time, printed properly, in a specific envelope, labeled as specified in the right location.

As a ugrad, and later a PhD student teaching, everything is explained the first day. If you can figure it out you just fail the class (or go to office hrs to get help, etc).

I wonder what it would look like if the federal income tax was removed, and instead the amount needed was assigned to the states to produce proportional to population, however they want.

And that seems unrealistic. IMO we would be better off closing other loopholes: - various special carve outs (real estate stuff, carried interest, etc) - enforce the estate tax for real - ban stock buy backs, make companies return cash via

IMO managers (and directors) should staff the large incident management rotation. Helping to coordinate response, freeing up ICs to debug and fix.

Do you mean not an engineer at the same time as a manager, or never an engineer?

by lokar 6mo ago
