  1. We should trust our government to make the right decision for our health.
  2. Validating your comment.

    Freakonomics did a podcast about what you are describing.

  3. Holy Kimchi on a Popsicle Stick!

    I feel validated!

    Bless you the holy spirit of Bad Religion.

  4. The same people who didn't see the financial crisis of 2008.
  5. This debate comes up every month.

    I have been working in code for over 12 years. (self.taught(php,python))

    I refused to take these types of tests. (yet I have no problem writing profitable financial algorithms) Hence I went to the management side.

    I will be hiring some developers soon, I will be looking for desire to work, personality and previous verifiable experience. I will also ask if they believe Kim Jung Un is fat.

    At my previous job, I didn't get a chance to hire people they were sent to me. It was my job to ensure they were trained and a team player. I would like to thank the Marine Corps for 20 years of experience.

  12. On a positive note. I have fond memories of my wife and son coloring at the dining room table during the pandemic. I look forward to trying this out.
  13. Last time I checked you can't access X or facebook in China?

    The government shouldn't tell us what to do... but then again I wound't using the Chinese tracking device called TikTok. (or facebook/X)

  16. Been there done that. It’s better to get out, they will only ruin your algorithm with their lack of understanding.

    Suits with an algorithm will eventually drive it into the ground in the long run.

  17. Flash boys by Micheal Lewis.

    I think the coder was arrested but it didn’t go much further than that… I don’t think it has happened again since the early 2010.

  18. In the short time I have doing open records requests, presistence is key.

    Usually, first, you have to fail or get some information. Then you send another request. Then another, and you start to drill down. I have also inadvertently received unredacted information, which led me to more requests. I have 5 records requests with Colorado, on the 5th request, someone picked up the phone and helped me solve a problem.

    In my particular case, I set out to fight the government. My purpose was specifically if I am having issues with the government services then people with less resources and time are even more disadvantaged than myself. So I'm fighting the battle for them and my civic duty... It's also why I wear black (Johnny Cash reference.)

    If it's cops harrassing you then, I'm willing to bet they are doing it to others as well.

    The beauty of chapGPT is it can write emails for you with little effort on your part.

  20.     Your comments suggest you have significantly more time to spare than I do. (However, I understand this is just my interpretation.)
    
        I'm entitled to my opinion on INTU and the government, regardless of whether it's factual or not. You're interpreting my views as anti-government negativity, which I don't agree with. Additionally, I wasn't aware that writing a research paper with proper citations was part of the conversation. To conclude, it seems your primary interest lies in debate.
    
    > They also might own shares of INTU... Even that is not criminal.

    Right but acting on inside information would be illegal.

    You're 100% incorrect on that last point. Although not a formal legal document this article makes it pretty clear Senators and Representatives have a loophole in regards to trading on stocks. https://blogs.luc.edu/compliance/?p=4459

    I will no longer respond to this thread as it's now reached the point of no return. In the meantime have a great day!

  21. You are absolute correct, no laws have been broken. (yet)

    There are also a lot of Senators and Representatives that have a larger re-election campaign fund now as well. But that's not illegal either. There are probably elected officials on the IRS committee. They also might own shares of INTU... Even that is not criminal.

    Verbs or adjective, your grammar doesn't matter. All you have to do is follow the money.

  22. I came here to say the above. But let me add the following… Intuit is a criminal lobbying organization.
  23. This is political agnostic response.

    In May 2005, my team (S3 shop) was responsible for training, operations, future operations, and logistical coordination of a provisional Military Police Battalion. We managed four separate missions, comprised of 800 Marines, spread across Al-Anbar province (RCT-8, if my memory serves me correctly).

    There were no textbook to reference. Prior to the Iraq war, myself and my Marines where trained as Artillery men, but now we were trained as convoy ops, detention operations and local security. Furthermore, 99% unit personnel were operating at full capacity, because of the combat environment. (No HR issues, slackers, or vacations) Adapt and overcome.

    The only other environment I've encountered that comes close to matching this level of challenge, teamwork, and excitement is within a startup.

    I was activated for 1 year, easily I believe this hands on experience is worth many more years. My MBA was a great experience, I learned some new things but this real world combat experience surpasses anything that can be learned at B School.

  24. I obtained my MBA in 2007, just before the onset of the Great Recession, leading to significant job market challenges. Despite these hurdles, I steered through the difficulties by delving into coding during the expansive era of the internet (think Facebook, Google, iPhone apps).

    Jumping on the startup bandwagon, I surfed the wave, ultimately establishing myself as an MBA with a robust tech background. Today, I find myself outpacing most CTOs. While the initial journey was challenging, I managed to redirect the course successfully.

    For what it's worth, I went to a good B school, but my deployment to IRAQ with the Marines far out weights my MBA.
