Then it begs the question, if SJ is so underfunded and police overworked, how it manages to be a comparatively safer city than other comparable metro areas? It almost begs the question about not needing more Police, but better supporting s

This towns police dept has long been an incompetent lot (while not anywhere nearly as bad as say, NOLA or Baltimore, they are still fairly boorish and prone to overreach) and prone to such stellar missteps as how it handled the Floyd protes

I like how I got downvoted, but looking at MSFTs moves the last few years show a company trying to deleverage its users privacy at any chance, and generally fumbling around like clumsy oafs trying to make new product that will have as much

I think one reason might be that most tortillas in supermarkets are processed to death as well. Most won't go to a solid Mexican grocer and pick up the good stuff (or it's not available) and to top that off, one thing I've n

The most likely reason (maybe ironically) is one of regulatory overhead I suspect. They stick to jurisdictions where the "law of unintended consequences" and "punitive damages" don't commingle strongly.

They destroyed records recently as well. Vallejo is managed by some truly corrupt, inept slobs.

"Why do people think VCs are libertarians? Most of them are Democrats!" You seem to: 1. presume those two categories are mutually exclusive. They aren't. 2. Many of the libertarian values on the economic side, held by many in

Given how arbitrary their own decisions are (including breaching their own rental and other contractual agreements) i'd say its even odds.

My current printer is being quite resilient, but once it dies, my relationship with HP does also (which goes back decades...I already replaced my last scanner similarly last year) as there is nothing left in HP worth supporting.

That's been my MO for years, and it's been mostly fruitful. Where it hasn't been that (which is rare, as usually one should have the skill of accreting stuff into a systemic whole), it's been interesting (because i like

Same dung, different cycle. If you think taxes are worse now than they were in the 70s and 80s, I'd say the deja vu is ardent. There was a time in this country (back in the 50s and 60s) where the highest tax rate on income was near 90%

That already happens a fair amount. I've had two orgs where for stretches of time my top guys cleared more than I did, and I've known others in the same boat (they ran "rockstar" SME teams of various types). I wasn&#x27

Also the same verbiage used repeatedly. Every time. For decades. And I've been here for decades, so I have literally observed this from detractors since the 80s.

I was at a firm that did a similar strategy once (during the 2008 hellscape) and it worked (20% across the board except for one non-salaried (hourly) team that was so junior cutting by 20 was just sadism). It kept things afloat, and it defi
