healthcare.gov wasn't written by coders. It was written by politicians and PHBs, which is why it will never function properly no matter what. All the heavy CS thinkers in the world couldn't have changed this.
To add to this: interviewers asking lazy questions (What is your greatest weakness?) should expect lazy, canned answers (I work too hard). If you want to gauge someone's critical thinking skills, ask a creative question requiring original thought to answer. Not some question that can be found on a list of 50 top interview questions.
Wow. Nothing I would hate more than to work in a place chock-full of supergeeks. The constant pedantry would get annoying, to say the least.
Most of them do. It's a place to go right out of college and get some experience. Once you have 2-3 years experience and that Accenture name on the resume, its time to go somewhere else for better work, fewer hours and lots more pay. This is the very typical pattern of Accenture employees.
That's because CNN does not criticize their Messiah In Chief.
In other words, its all Republican's fault?
There's a difference between the way things SHOULD be and the way they are in the real world. Nobody in a position of power cares what the constitution says, therefore it is ignored. And its pretty much been this way since the country was founded.
The Chicago area has this problem worse than anywhere. Roads here are always "work zones" yet the quality of the road never actually gets any better, and there's rarely any actual work being done.
I can only assume the politically connected road contractors use the cheapest possible materials so they can do the same work again just a couple of years later.
Revenge would be eye-for-an-eye killing him in the same way he killed his victim. Executions are WAY more humane than that.
I think you are still suffering from PTSD and would benefit enormously from seeking help.
Are you fucking serious? Lethal injection is your idea of cruel and unusual? How about drawing and quartering?
OK look, there is NOTHING in the constitution that says that punishments must be completely free of pain or discomfort. Nothing. Cruel and unusual would mean that the government is going out of its way to punish someone in an especially barbaric method, which in no way shape or form happened with this execution. If the inmate happened to suffer a bit, so what? The state was attempting to carry out the punishment in the most humane and effective way available to them at the time. They never did anything for the sole purpose of causing additional suffering.
If you're going to say that the constitution requires all punishment to be completely painless and free of unplesantries, that would mean eliminating the penal system altogether. Cruel and unusual != any amount of suffering.
College tuition only goes up. And has gone up about 10% annually for the past 15 years. By 2020 top schools will likely be charging $100,000 per year, although nobody will actually pay full price.
I'd much rather have someone "wasting" square footage than to have some dictator telling me how big of a house I can have.
