Jordan v. City of New London, 1996. Police departments are literally allowed to refuse to hire people they think are too smart to work as police.

Which works out for them since qualified immunity holds if they claim the dumb steroid addled badged criminal retarded fucks called "police" only BELIEVE that they were somehow following the law while they do things like this.

It's nothing but corrupt fucking drug addled steroidal retarded pigs from top to bottom.

Bullshit. If we funded police properly and fielded a lot more of them, then they wouldn't feel so overwhelmed and wouldn't be asked to solve social problems because there is not enough social help available. Fix that and police forces wouldn't be forced to hire knuckle-dragging right-wing nuts.

Nice straw hobgobblins you have created for yourself there. Education loans help everyone, education helps everyone.

Girl math? Oh please inform us of your math degrees. The sciences have a way of weeding out lessor lights....well they did before the current alleged administration decided all the science we need is in the Bible. Girls have been systematically excluded from math and the sciences by people who think just like you. It is kind of weird you are blaming the unis for a problem you helped to create.

AI allows drawing conclusions from mass movement information, it is beyond just someone's location, it would allow predicting market moves based on movement of groups of people.

This is not just about following any one person, this is about information movement, following a group of people who work on the same project for example to understand when they are going towards the same site / goal. This is beyond dangerous.

Rewriting legacy code in itself makes sense if the idea is to extend and improve the project, add new features, increase functionality. For this purpose, however, you need a person with access to all of the documentation and understanding of why the code exists, not a person who can ask an LLM to rewrite the code simply by using the existing code base as the documentation base. Before rewriting the code what needs to be done is documentation needs to be created (if it doesn't exist) and business requirements need to be collected, basically normal business analysis and product management, once you have that you can hand it over to a developer.

Starting with a developer is probably a recipe for failure in this case.

Wait, you believe that government builds sewer pipes, gas systems, plumbing, roads? All of these things were and are built by private companies and should be built by private companies, not governments. Nothing should be done or built by governments, there shouldn't be any government employees, all government employees should be fired, all government regulation need to be abolished. People will rebuild everything, there shouldn't be even such things as government enforced zoning laws.

On the other hand, you the future Social Security recipient, will get increasingly taxed because you made the U.S. unwelcoming for immigrants and migrants. What precisely is it that you object to? Them coming here and working their tails off, raising families, paying taxes, etc., essentially acting like good citizens.

But maybe we're fucking Christian Nation, able to look a poor migrant in the eye and tell them to enjoy the Love of Jesus Christ on their own because they won't be getting any of it from you.

I wouldn't say clients never have clue about requirements. They do have some clues but are unable to express them using the right language and sufficient detail.

Once in a previous life I did process controls. I was given a pipe expander, think a piston with a mushroom head that can expand; the head is slid into a pipe, expanded, and then slid further, expanded....until the pipe had all its joints tested by the expander. I did the controls (motor, sensors, etc.). What I got from our salesman was "deficient", he clearly only knew we could sell such controls. We had meeting the customer's engineers. One fellow there seemed to be the lead.

After pages of notes on what we were to supply, I told him I would write up an operation document and send it to him. He was free to change it in any way he felt necessary. In our next meeting, he had a few corrections but admitted it was well written. My observation was it takes two to tango. If you are producing something blind without customer buy-in on what the thingy is supposed to do, then you will get the impression the customer doesn't have any requirements clue, when in fact you do not have any requirements clue and you produced a widget blindly.

It is not enough to get a requirements document from the customer, you must write the requirements document you require and then ask them to analyze it and makes changes as they see fit. If they shovel in extra crap in that first round, you now have the ammunition to tell them that was not what they originally asked for and you must have another meeting with them. Once they get the idea that these meetings will continue with no actual work being done on their widget, they'll get the idea they should stop asking for extra crap, especially if your side puts extra dollar amounts to that extra crap.

Also, getting the customer to agree on the operation of the widget gets them to think in the level of detail you require and to think about their new widget will operate in edge cases. They become reluctant to ask for changes after that because they have signed up for the operation (so to speak).

Nonsense, RFK, Jr. (note the R) has claimed Covid spared Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people. That's right up there with el Bunko claiming Haitian dogs and cats were eating Ohio children (or whatever that bozo was claiming), and claiming his uncle developed radar (no).

We used to have health care professionals in other countries helping diagnose and treat new diseases. Now, not. el Bunko canceled that, so now we have no prior warnings unless the pandemic spreads. el Bunko is supposed to enable our scientists to combat diseases, yet he's cutting funding for medical research.

I do not know what fake meat is to you (or anyone else). If you are talking about lab grown meat, then compare conditions of lab grown meat with conditions in a slaughterhouse. And if you want to eat real meat again, do not visit a slaughterhouse because that will certainly put you off your vittles.

Now go back and update your background so that you are not siphoning right-wing nut conspiracies and coming here to spew them. If you are going to continue this, at least cc Fox News, they go for that kind of slop.
