Yeah...all this churn and burn and games looking for people with experience in specific shit and all it really takes is for a good person to look at new tech for 2-4 weeks before they can run with it. The last think you want in tech is to hire someone with ten years experience to do the same thing they have been doing for ten years.
Yeah. There is a major gap in how early career people see work and how later career people see work. The older people (45+) tend to not keep up on tech and are next to impossible to motivate or engage. They already proved themselves several times and are not compelled to do it again. I'm 40 and though I try to balance my life and spend time with my family I do not rest. I'm ready for the grind and I LOVE testing and developing new tech.
"Big companies don't care about you, and in return people don't care about the well being of the company." In the age of technology and information isn't loose coupling preferred?
The policies exist to reduce sales friction. Choosing a product and bringing it back because you think one of the other brands might be better--and doing this multiple times--is not an abuse. It increases customer engagement and reduces a barrier to decision making. If you want to reduce returns, educate the customer and let them use the product before they purchase. Your lambast of the cherry-picking pattern is not valid, it is exactly why the policy exists. Markets (information and competition) do not protect merchants, it serves consumers. Best Buy and the like attract abusive behavior because they are abusive in spirit.
A Best Buy sales person forced my grandmother's iPad into the wrong case and cracked the screen. "It was already cracked." If this is how they treat a 76 yr old woman--a regular customer--it shows you what they are all about.
If you invoke the legal department in any financial company they are going to end the dispute immediately in your favor to avoid any further work or time. They will not risk exposing themselves to a regulatory finding over a transaction. I saw more than one case where a person was not able to access their money ($200 but the amount does not matter) for a day or two resulting in a settlement of $8000. The arbitration limit for the particular company at the time--a very small company.

Simply because everyone is giving too much credence to an unobserved hypothesis. When you don't know anything or think in depth about your existence it is easy to blow your mind.

Yawn.....and others have published books of equal quality suggesting alternative theories. It is a great starting point before considering more interesting possibilities.
Two things. Government is nagging at them behind the scenes through unofficial channels AND it is a great opportunity in the midst of that to eliminate the competition.
They are probably acting on behalf of the US government. This sounds really weasel-like. If they were serious about consumer harm there should be an announcement like this twice a day. Most scams don't get any attention.
Bullshit. Microsoft has built and appears fully committed to.NET Standard (Core) which runs anywhere. They made it easy for a lot of code bases based on.NET to be moved off of Windows! They essentially stripped the learning curve and brought every.NET developer to Linux! Who cares how the code runs? It just has to run. They are banking on selling cloud services.
Yeah, but in the future when you say "Linux" people are going to think "Microsoft." They were not allowed to embrace open source for decades. The leash is off and tMicrosoft is damn good at building operating systems. Should be fun.

Just act really frisky and hum show tunes. Perhaps dye your hair and shave as well?

In their minds the "barely 30" manager is still about 20. They think older people are funny, quaint, and senile.
Agreed. White Conservative liberal here. I would like to try UBI.
Two or three hours of my time is not cheap.
Run it as credit then. How does this still fucking elude people?

I just threw up in my mouth.
Hi did not discover a black hole. Jesus fuck.
You think this is bad....wait until Ozzie dies.

There is no sound in space. The noise (vibration) is still reverberating. We call it "chemistry."

Agreed. Everything should bring it own dependencies. We dont need to save disk space.
Who in the hell would want to poke around in the Visual Studio code base? Now that I ask that....I am sort of curious.

Really want to throw off Alexa? Try asking "her" if you can speak with customer service.
