The only companies worth fining are rich as F, unless you plan to take 10% of market cap they won't care. The other companies will just go bankrupt, which might be desirable.
Re:A CS degree is better than teaching yourself how to code?

Agreed. The main point is that a CS degree is not a proxy for success in all things that require code. I like to keep in mind that a BS in CS only demonstrates the ability to study, memorize and be quized on your memory. Using a set of axioms to build something unique is totally different.

Totally agree with your last statement. I've fired more CS degree programmers than self learners.

Your second point is only true if you add a constraint to learn alone, nothing wrong with seeking out other self learners. Salary is generally true but that really depends on your negotiating skills.

Maybe your questions are not appropriate for stack overflow, do you mind linking your profile or sharing the questions?

It's not a policy problem, stop blaming the government for the stupid decisions of individuals. It's a market problem, if renters said I'm not paying 1600 per month then the rent would be lower.

When the city i live in announced they were deploying these readers i got a response from our police chief, he advised me that refusal to install them would result in their department losing some certification that allowed them to remain as independent as possible.
Re:New federal rules limit police searches of family tree DNA databases

Stupid if your client is guilty and you trust the database, not so stupid if your client insists they are innocent and the database governance processes are suspect.

This should be a law, not a rule. How do we push this into law, so there are consequences when the databases are abused?

It seems like any competent defense attorney would insist on resampling, or alternatively insist this evidence thrown out duebto lack of chain of custody.
Signed, not a lawyer.
