MIT or similar, not such a big deal since MS is contribution a metric crapton of code to start the projects.

So far their acclaimed commitments seem to be mostly fluff with very little real substance in them..
How about completely opening
The funny thing about those women favoring contracts, they end fulfilled by a minority woman owned pass-through entity which files the paperwork and the same old contractors do the actual work. That's how a friend of mine described it, he said when he worked for Booze Allen he worked on just such a contract, three minority women had an office in DC where they filed paperwork and passed off the actual fulfillment to his group while they collected their 1-2% management fee. Those three were doing a couple $Billion in set-aside contracts so earning a few million a year for essentially nothing more than being a minority woman with a law and/or accounting degree.
One of my coworkers is from India, he's a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology and he's one of the smartest people I've ever met (I was accepted to MIT and went to RIT so that's not a light compliment). Just because your employer chooses to hire the bottom of the barrel from India doesn't mean there aren't a LOT of smart people from there (or even smart people from there working in IT). It would be hard to have 1.3B people and a history of eduction and NOT have lots of smart people =)
Considering it comes from High German/Old English I think it's been used as slang for a lot longer than that!
So don't use keep, use one of the dozens of grocery list apps, many available on the amazon app store and so requiring no Google account.
The GAO is Congress's research arm, they were asked to analyze the effectiveness of the FAA's role in assessing cybersecurity risks and they did as requested. This is a role the GAO has played for at least my entire lifetime (born in 1978). In fact this articles says that the research function started to expand in 1967 when Congress asked the GAO to research the effectiveness of the newly enacted anti-poverty programs.
There are ways to do formal proofs of correctness, but nobody outside of NASA does it, and it leads to a cost per LOC that's at least 100x what COTS software costs so there's no way that airlines would go for it, it's cheaper to require that the systems be airgapped.
For outdoor use you'd be better served by a $10 solar panel and a battery or supercapacitor.
Uh, I mentioned that, they do of course own some of those accounts but the total wealth in them owned by the 1% is limited by annual contribution caps. As an example my father has an S corp and is in the bottom of the 1%, he is limited to X dollars per year in contribution and can't contribute anything if the non-principal workers in the corporation don't also have funded retirement accounts with at least x dollars in total contributions.
Err, have you looked at the macro numbers? There are more unfilled positions then there are workers looking for work, the problem is matching skills with needs, so most well run companies are looking to retain talented and productive workers at this point in the cycle. This is especially true in IT where unemployment topped out at ~5% and is at ~2.5% today.
Yes, capitalism allows, in theory, for workers to own the means of production. In practice it doesn't work out that way. In the US "the 99%" owns, collectively, only about 1% of stock
This isn't remotely close to true, the total of IRA and defined contribution plan (401k and similar) plan holdings in Q4 2014 totaled $14.2T, over half the total value of the combined NYSE at $16.6T, and NASDAQ at $8.5T. While the 1% hold some of the value in those two categories they are both limited in their total annual contribution amounts so it's actually much less skewed than the overall wealth holdings.
If the loss of any one employee can cost the business millions then it is in their interest to make sure that there is another person who can perform that job. In IT disaster preparedness planning we often refer to this as the hit by the bus disaster where a key individual is taken out of action without warning. Any well run company will have identified these key people and will have planned to cross train others in their department to at least pick up the daily tasks they perform until a replacement can be hired and trained.
I've never generated a penny in fees to any lending institution and yet I too have an 800+ rating so there is more than one way to score highly in FICO and other scoring systems.
Sounds like people need to find a bank or credit union that doesn't suck. Huntington for example not only does credits before debits but they also give you 24 hours to make up any overdraft and will automatically pull from your savings to make it up if you have agreed to let them.
You must realize that the computer has it in for you. The irrefutable proof of this is that the computer always does what you tell it to do.
