The auditors usually won't need access to open-ended person search tools, they mostly just check existing cases.

And the top-level auditors (auditors of auditors) should probably be rotated and/or lent cross-agency so that a bad apple doesn't have time to spoil an entire agency.

Nothing is 100% foolproof; it's a matter of reducing average risk.

So how can I personally profit off the bursting of this decade's AI bubble?

Nah, yours are too micro & soft

management wanted..."built to last" ... typo'ed as "built to blast"

Be very afraid if they tell you you're "fired"

When I complained to the store (Sears) they said that all washing machines are made that way now [90's]

That's a really dumb justification for suckage. "Sure, we suck, but so do our competitors now." I see now it's not just limited to telecoms and presidential candidates.

I suppose the appliance makers could argue that power-saving regulations limit their ability to make the "big iron" washers you talk about. Some of the older stuff from say the 50's were tough, stable, lasting, and easy to repair, but were also power-hogs.

By the way, our semi-old washer only has that problem if you wash big items like winter blankets or jackets. One has to be home to monitor it during such, else it dances around the garage. Being in a warmer region, it's usually not a problem.

Most if not all of the machines from the 80s and 90s were dumb. They'd walk across the floor if the load's unbalanced.

What? I thought that was a feature. "Thank you, Mr. Machine, for bringing me my fresh laundry."

Now I gotta get it myself.

"A.I. took away thinking jobs, but I didn't say anything because I wasn't a thinker."

I have stocks in both UPS and FedEx. Thumpo!

I purchased both of them during the dot-com bubble. I was itching to get in on the "dot com profits", but did feel the companies were overvalued. My reasoning was that the Internet as a whole would continue to grow, but that existing companies were individually too unpredictable.

Thus, I looked for stocks that would grow as a side-effect of the Internet rather than direct Internet stocks. I cannot say all my stock picks were good decisions, but this set in particular mostly was.

I asked "isn't anyone watching", she replied: "yeah, that's my job".

Auditors should also be subject to audits.

Although there's sometimes legitimate reasons for their illegitimate searches....Many officers are not allowed to associate with known criminals.

Then their search-log should say, "Checking personal acquaintance due to NAWKC rules."

How about those who fail audits go to prison

"Fail" is not Boolean. "Grade" may be a better term. For example, a poorly written search justification with not enough detail or ambiguities. I don't think it's fair to outright fire or jail somebody for bad writing, unless maybe they don't improve after being warned.

If you buy their software, arrival is not required.

Now no one will even want the name.

Rats! There goes my scam:

Employees say the move was rejected by Ms. Mayer's team for fear that even something as simple as a password change would drive Yahoo's shrinking email users to other services.

At my company we call this "stepping over a dollar to pick up a nickel".

My co is so clueless they step over both.

Seems playing with lightning releases their endorphins.
