  • Nah - you’re complaining that you “were forced into handing your password to someone else” when there were at least six ways you could have avoided that:

    • you gone to the computer,
    • they send the computer to you,
    • you remote in to the computer,
    • you tell them “suck it, you should have blocked iCloud sign-in with MDM” or, as others mentioned,
    • you sign out before handing the computer back or, my favourite,
    • don’t sign in to personal accounts on work devices even if they bug you to.

    Finally, we release devices like this all the time through our ABM account. It takes 5 days maximum. Your IT team led you up the garden path.








  • That is amazing!

    Authorities initially had difficulty spotting Armstrong in Santa Teresa, a popular travel destination, as many of those in the town physically resembled Armstrong.

    “I think from the get-go we were told … you’re gonna be in for a surprise, ‘cause a lot of the women in Santa Teresa look just like Kaitlin – a lot of them,” the deputy US marshal Damien Fernandez said to CBS.

    Investigators even enlisted a female operative to take local yoga classes with the hopes of spotting Armstrong, a yoga enthusiast. But police were unable to locate her.

    In a last ditch effort, US investigators posted an advertisement looking for a yoga teacher on Facebook.


  • This article’s a week old. The relief has been announced in tax bracket adjustments that roll back the Stage 3 cuts that were essentially going to remove the third bracket (primarily benefiting those earning >$135,000)

    ABC story

    What are the new stage 3 tax cut brackets?

    Here’s how the proposed plan looks at a glance:

    Earn up to $18,200 – pay no tax

    Pay a 16 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned between $18,201-$45,000

    Pay a 30 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned between $45,001-$135,000

    Pay a 37 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned between $135,001 — $190,000

    Pay a 45 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned above $190,000

    What were they going to be?

    Here’s what the previous plan looked like at a glance:

    Earn up to $18,200 – pay no tax

    Pay a 19 per cent tax rate on each dollar earned between $18,201-$45,000

  • Reads to me that, in most of the cases, she doesn’t see the final documents provided to 3rd parties. She can ask Trump org for what they provided and if they don’t hand it over, the court could presumably subpoena them.

    For most of the instances she references though, she pointed out issues, Trump org said they’d fix them, but her scope doesn’t include asking the banks if they finally got the corrected version or not.

    Given the scale of inaccuracies and errors though (such as not including $1.6M in management fees in a line item called “Management Fees…” and not including any depreciation for golf courses), it certainly smells like the court would at least want to dig deeper.






  • Nah. It already applies to everyone else - this is maybe just about limiting the pool of challengers.

    From the Florida Government site :

    Who Must File Form 6: All persons holding the following positions: Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Cabinet members, members of the Legislature, State Attorneys, Public Defenders, Clerks of Circuit Courts, Sheriffs, Tax Collectors, Property Appraisers, Supervisors of Elections, County Commissioners, elected Superintendents of Schools, members of District School Boards, Mayor and members of the Jacksonville City Council, Judges of Compensation Claims; the Duval County Superintendent of Schools, and members of the Florida Housing Finance Corporation Board, each expressway authority, transportation authority (except the Jacksonville Transportation Authority), bridge authority, toll authority, or expressway agency created pursuant to Chapter 348 or 343, F.S., or any other general law, and judges, as required by Canon 6, Code of Judicial Conduct.



  • I hate teams that say Agile says “no doco”.

    The principle is “Working software over comprehensive documentation… That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.”

    Agile absolutely needs documentation but it shouldn’t hold up delivering working solutions and shouldn’t be more complicated than necessary.

    We don’t want the old-school projects where software was ready but not delivered until a bible of doco was typeset, printed and bound.
