We'll be lucky if they don't run it again tomorrow.

That the Trump administration intends to launch a mass deportation that will involve concentration camps isn't hyperbole. It's his stated agenda. If you think otherwise it's you who needs to pay better attention.

The question is not whether Trump will try to do these things, it's whether he will succeed. Moderates who might once have resisted have been pushed out of the Republican Party. The GOP will have majority control of both houses of Congress and a compliant Supreme Court.

I'm somewhat hopeful that when Trump starts his trade war the economic consequences will be so evident that the Trump administration will step back from the edge. But, there is very little standing in Trump's way except his own incompetence and the GOP's lack of discipline.

Go easy on them. They're suffering from brain-rot.

I never used Lotus, but LibreOffice does not need to be more like today's Excel. It is, and should be, more like Excel from 20 years ago. The pre-ribbon MS-Office interface was developed based on extensive user accessibility research. Every function had a menu item labeled with corresponding keyboard shortcuts and icons. If you found the icon in the menu you could then find a corresponding button in the toolbars. LibreOffice still uses this proven and effective user interface. Modern MS-Office has buttons for everything buried in disappearing ribbons that you have to hover over to find out what they do.

Incidentally, it is possible to set LibreOffice to use a ribbon-style interface. It is not possible to do the reverse with MS-Office.

What does this tell you? Is it that nobody is teaching GIMP because it's inferior, or that people find it difficult because they haven't been taught how to use it? Introduction to Computers at a community college will typically teach students how to use Windows, Microsoft Office, and a few other proprietary software tools. A semester long course exposes students to every ribbon and button in the Microsoft Office interface. LibreOffice has a much simpler interface, and has a stable and capable application set, but at best they might mention it exists. GIMP is undeniably complex and difficult to learn, but it has been under active development for many years and it has a sizable user base. Maybe the problem isn't the software itself but the failure to educate students on a broad set of tools.

Autocorrect changed Indonesia to India four times and you didn't notice?

I'm not opposed to building up American industry, but we also need to maintain a network of allies. We should encourage trade with countries that uphold civil rights.

I suppose you could call it a shakedown, but it's not corruption. The law is not targeted at a single company and it isn't extracting a bribe. Indonesia has a long history of outsiders stripping its resources and leaving its population impoverished. This internal investment policy has been a part of Indonesia's economic development strategy since it achieved independence.

I don't think they are even thinking about clicks and eyeballs, just getting a certain number of articles posted each day.

They actually published a story about a story that wasn't worth publishing. I miss the days when Slashdot had editors.

That's not correct. If your income is below the federal poverty level in one of those ten states you do not qualify for income-based Medicaid. That's $15,060 for a single person in the lower 48 states. You would only qualify for Medicaid if you were eligible for another reason such as age or disability.

Procreation slows down when people are economically stable and rises when people are desperate. North Korea operates a slave wages economy and regularly experiences famine. That's why they have a high birth rate.

The incoming administration is planning to declare martial law, round up and deport millions of people, and simultaneously launch a trade war against the entire world. Watch what happens when Americans realize we're in a depression. Birth rates will jump. I'm guessing that within 6-8 years the US will be nursing a baby boom generation.

Are you responding to my post? I don't have a problem with holding someone accountable for missing a deadline. My point is that the person who missed the deadline may not be the only person responsible.

For those who are setting the deadlines and evaluating the work, we need to consider some surrounding issues. This is especially true if a normally reliable employee misses a deadline.

+-- Was the deadline imposed or agreed upon? If it was imposed, was it appropriate?
+-- Did the scope of work change after the deadline was set?
+-- Was the time required to complete the work known or knowable? Work with cutting edge technology may require more flexible time frames.
+-- If the task involves third parties, did they meet their obligations?
+-- Did supervisors or managers do everything necessary for the subordinate to meet the deadline?
+-- Was the task assigned to a junior employee who may require additional training or support?
+-- Did business operations prevent the task from being completed on time? Was the employee assigned other tasks that interfered?
