Tee hee

While your point is correct — you assume that 1, they have good backups. 2 that they can “format “… etc

Yes I frequently lose sleep over our backups where I work, and I know they are good… we do test them

They have to have 3 years of English

So yeah.

Ah we cross paths again…

diverse array of software

Nope the bosses want us to use one of the largest platforms because those are the best supported… usually

Also security; in many places, IT is a cost rather than being seen as an investment… car dealers want a nice building because that attracts people— fsck IT, it doesn’t attract people to buy cars…

Economics Teacher: In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the… Anyone? Anyone?.. the Great Depression, passed the… Anyone? Anyone? The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, anyone? Raised or lowered?.. raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did not work, and the United States sank deeper into the Great Depression. Today we have a similar debate over this. Anyone know what this is? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone seen this before? The Laffer Curve. Anyone know what this says? It says that at this point on the revenue curve, you will get exactly the same amount of revenue as at this point. This is very controversial. Does anyone know what Vice President Bush called this in 1980? Anyone? Something-d-o-o economics. “Voodoo” economics.

Thank you… I couldn’t remember the name …

As I’ve understood it ; RESERVING the right to be wrong, raising tariffs was ONE of the factors leading to the Great Depression…

So yeah I’m sure that’ll work out fine this time.

We do a quarterly test.

I have the DB guy make a change, I nuke it and ensure I can restore it.

For us. I don’t work for Veeam, while I don’t like their licensing. Veeam is pretty good

Hth

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yeah. It is kinda hard.

Backups. First and foremost.

Now once that is sorted, what if your DB gets corrupted. You test your backups

Learn how to verify and restore

It is a hassle. That’s why there is a constant back and forth between on prem and cloud in the enterprise

“For the children “ …. Like none of them have ever heard bad words…. They must be protected at all cost.

Like a person who likes to grab them by the pussy…

At the same time. This was over a $15,000 tax bill.

To not pay $15,000 they’ll fund a multi million dollar lawsuit all the way to SCOTUS.

I cannot grok people like this

Love it 👍

Display them in Arabic.

This would never have survived scotus 5 years ago. Today I would not bet against them finding it constitutional

Yes. That is actually the point. MUST maximize that profit!

Airlines do this now, as does Uber.

The tech is only just catching up for retail. This is end game capitalism hope you enjoyed the ride.

We make it a drinking game…

Whenever a salespeople or a demo uses weasel language. DRINK!

Thank you. I’m totally going to steal “Tech debt reduction “. Ffs

Not “to own the libs” — rather “fOr thE cHiLdreN!!!”

They are so concerned with personal liberty that they must ensure that nobody practices it differently.

if you live anywhere….

That IF is doing quite a bit of work there …

And again IF the water is treated…

Yes. If those are both done then there is little issue

In some parts of Phoenix AZ , they use the treated grey water to water grass golf courses

The issue is really when there are heavy rains and the treatment facilities are overwhelmed and RAW sewage gets dumped into the river In other places there is insufficient or no treatment and again raw sewage goes into the river where the next town downstream needs to use the river water for drinking

Oooh. I like that.

I’d think that courts would say that you can’t claim the fifth, since you self reported the illegal income. And that had you failed to claim it, you’d be evading taxes….

So yes. You COULD claim your 5th amendment rights against self incrimination, but then you’ve violated the 16th where you’ve failed to declare income.

It is not a safe option.

It is designed as a catch all.

The FBI isn’t going through tax returns looking for Illegal income; rather if you’re suspected of illegal activity, they WILL go through your tax returns, because if you didn’t report your illegal income that is another law you’ve then broken. — See Al Capone

So. It is both a very bad idea, and a good idea to report your illegal income

A better idea is to not do anything illegal; or at least do the illegal thing offshore and hide the income there. Like a good multinational corporation would.

Did Sir want their slice of landlord rare? And with or without mint sauce on the side…

Phoenix is a monument to man’s arrogance
