Android might be just as bad I don't know don't own one but I'd add: Apple just being able to decide to remove an app that you used to have from the store because their latest shiny doesn't work well with it (even though all the older models do) or they decided to create hype for the next version of iOS by adding a feature that that app already does.
Yes and public transit is tax deductible in a lot of places. It is actually good for regulating somewhat sane hours as in "sorry got to go my train leaves in 10 min". Otherwise I find "flex time" becomes the dude that didn't show up at the office till 10:30am hitting my desk at 5pm for a design review and tying me up for 1-2hrs of unplanned OT.
I'm the same. I could save maybe 30 min of my 1.5hr commute. But I'd be stuck paying roughly $15-20 a day more and not be able to read and watch tv along the way. Essentially that 30min savings is costing 1hr of down time each way + $100 a week.
There might be more software developers now simply because automation has lowered the bar to getting anything out the door. So you might see the average developer be "less skilled' now because less skill is required and so more people say "hey I'd like to make 100k a year too".
Someone has to make the automation tools. After that why should everyone go deep into the kernel/windowing system/whatever and understand at a really low level? Occasionally useful to know, and sometimes interesting but IMO we are paid to deliver business value not spend time learning all the details that the guy that made the tool had to figure out. Being capable of learning when it becomes necessary is far more important than what you already know.
Maybe if you powered an electrolysis system with your pedaling and then released all the power at once closer to being a bicycle. That would actually be funny to see going down the street: dude biking along side road then takes a turn onto an onramp. Drivers thinking he missed a turn or something only for the guy to start flying:)
Yeah it isn't the jogging that burns it is the lean muscle mass. I get about 500-700 cal out of a run if the treadmill is accurate which would take about 6 runs per pound of fat not counting anything put back in afterwards for recovery. I have about 195lb lean which burns a hell of a lot. just sitting around I burn 2500 a day and I don't just sit around.
30min X 3-4 running so that is fixed. + ~4 sets of 4 exercises 4-5 days a week (on a day I'm not doing cardio probably get that done in about 40min). I'm not a fast runner to begin with and am recovering from a broken leg but I get in about 3 mi each run so 9-12 a week. The rest is weights.
There is a whole psychological component you hinted at too. What if one guy feels happy/energetic etc at 2000 cal and another needs 2500? I think there are both biological reasons why it could be harder to burn, lower metabolism etc, but also other biological factors that just doesn't make you feel full, happy, etc without a certain calorie intake. Both may happen but in the one case at least if the cause is found I suspect you'd be forgive in the other case you'd be asked to suck it up and show some discipline.
Personally, I like to eat both good and bad things for me. But I also don't mind spending 5 hours a week at the gym so it all works out. Not everyone has the free time I have though or the money to afford access to a gym (yeah I know jogging is relatively free but who wants to look like Richard Simmons?).
So it isn't reasonable to expect that people would have some way at hand to prove who they are? What happens if you are in an accident and you have no Id, you just hope one of the nurses in the ER recognizes you and remembers your medical history? Sure people can have their id in really hard to locate areas, or haven't bothered and now they need to figure out where the office is across the country. But that is their problem/lack of record keeping, helped along by a system that allowed them to get away with it all this time.
Your mom wouldn't be being disenfranchised she'd be deciding the effort required to comply with the law is greater than her desire to vote. We make those choices all the time, like not bothering to mail in that $7 off rebate you get with a new ladder. Different levels of importance but so should be the effort you are willing to put into complying.
Because drunks don't know to go to the bar before midnight on weekdays and that after midnight is okay Fri-Sat:) When people need something they figure out when it is available. If it really isn't available when they need it they'll kick up a stink/stop buying from them and companies will correct, or new companies providing "extended hours" service (perhaps at a premium) will open. DST needs to go, it makes no sense. It is based on a time when we cared if the sun was out to do work. Guess what? People doing road maintenance adjust their hours just fine with the weather even without the government telling them they need to wait for the sun to come out before they can see what they are doing. Offices generally have the lights on all day so the sun being out isn't saving any power. Etc.
DST wasn't even very useful during war time as far as I can tell. Do you really think we'd have stopped building tanks 12hrs a day if the sun wasn't out when we woke up? Heck 12hrs a day: I bet most war industries were running 3 shifts so for them DST didn't matter. You couldn't ship the hydroelectric power overseas so conserving energy over here didn't help the war effort. Things were just silly during the war people had this need to flog themselves to feel like they were suffering for "the boys overseas". Ration tea and sugar: I'm sure the guy getting shot at with an MG42 felt better that you didn't have any tea for breakfast and you got up an hour earlier.
I agree. Lived in Germany for a couple years. Daylight savings started a couple weeks different there so there was a window where calling home was -5hrs instead of the usual -6. My family couldn't wrap their head around it so every call started with: "so what time is it over there?". Any time savings having people working in "more productive hours" (like that is a constant for everyone) is probably lost by the effort figuring out what hours you can call someone. Those that don't do business that crosses timezones it doesn't really matter either way coordination wise. Everyone else it just adds another layer of complexity of determining what time it is.
Maybe we need to take the same approach we do when calling family overseas: not insist on a 8hr window to call eachother. Instead divide the world up into say 4-6 business timezones. "Business hours" for companies doing business in the adjacent timezones offset themselves by a couple hours from normal so they have that overlap with the other guys and respect the fact that just because it is 9am here doesn't mean it is okay to call India now. If you aren't in a position where you need to interact with the other business timezones: do whatever you want. Rather than DST it would have been nicer if they had come up with a standard "coordination time" for these big groupings of timezones. We'd have whole continents agreeing that (adjust for your local time) say 8am-10am is when you call people 1 quarter to the east, 3-5pm is when you call people 1 quarter to the west etc. Your quadrant + the two on either side would have standard business hours to contact eachother. People that are truly on the the other side of the world would have to figure something out (if they are really actively communicating they probably end up like Indian call centers: doing customer facing work during the other guys afterhours so their competitive advantage is exactly the fact that their hours aren't yours).
It gets worse the farther north you go. I live near Toronto and summer is ~5:30am to 9pm. Winter 8-5 (which means with a commute it is dark when I leave for work and dark when I get out of work). I lived in Germany for a while and they had it even worse. About 5-9:30pm in summer and 8-4 in the winter. Stores kept pretty strictly to 9-5 hours and were closed on Sundays. So all shopping effectively had to happen on Saturday. I just don't see much point in retail being open during the 9-5 window but not afterwards. Sure people that are retired or with the day off can still shop which is good for them. But if they offset themselves from normal office hours everyone, including those that are retired would be able to shop. My understanding is it is an equitable quality of life thing in Germany whenever I brought it up someone would just say "yeah but the people in the stores want to go home at 5, and no one likes to work on Sunday too just like you get to". The difference is I work in an office programming, they work to sell things to customers which (should IMO) require them to adjust themselves to when customers are available. Mah.
As much as possible I think we should just let everyone work flexible hours and adjust their day however they want as the seasons go. Most people have a lot of routine work they can do without needing to coordinate with other people (or the groups that need to coordinate could agree amongst themselves what hours they want to work rather than having a company wide policy for it) or deal with customers. Let them move that to the beginning, middle/end of the day depending on when they want to come in. With the exception of banks most stores are opening ~8-10am and till 8-10pm at night which means everything but complicated banking needs can be done every day. Still would be nice if banks/government services would offset themselves too, say open 11-7pm or something so people working 9-5 could still see someone after work. In short: customer facing jobs need to offset themselves from typical hours for non-customer facing jobs. Those who aren't customer facing should be treated as mature adults and work the hours that allow them to be the most productive.
I think it is the condition of any situation where the "customers" are also considered your advesaries. I worked in collections for 6 months and the system was definitely geared towards desensitizing you to others hardships. You simply couldn't care and still ask a 80 year old widow to sent her catfood money to you to pay her credit card bill instead. Cops are the same way: some of the people they deal with are trying to hide their drugs and other criminal activities. So: it becomes more about trying to catch you cheating then about correcting the actual behaviour in question at the time (speeding, failure to come to a complete stop, drunk in public etc). I don't envy them their physical risks either but somehow things just seem to escalate once it goes from in the car to "all 4 of you get out of the car I'm going to search and check for warrants on everyone because Bubba ran a light" people rightly say "why the hell am I involved because I just happened to be sitting in the car at the time? Did I have the gas peddle?"
The funny thing is the "disenfranchisement" term. So you are taking away something from someone when you make a reasonable request for them to prove who they are? I'd argue they shouldn't have been "enfranchised" in the first place: "Voting offices, banks, employers etc all should be saying "Nobody knows who the hell you are or if you are a citizen: sorry we can't help you, here is a place you can go and cheaply get the documentation you need to be part of society. Have a nice day."
So you make it free/cheap to get the Id and either go door to door registering people, make it as much of a cultural tradition as getting a drivers license (or make a drivers license sufficient Id), or make social insurance cards be photo Id etc etc. There are ways. Who are these people we keep hearing about that would be disenfranchised? How the hell do you live in society with no way of proving who you are, not just for elections but for bank accounts, jobs, getting a car, renting an apartment etc?
I live in Canada but we've always required photo id to vote. I don't get the US: what is the big deal about identification. You want to vote you need to prove you are a citizen and id yourself so we can make sure you doing vote multiple times that does not seem unreasonable or "disenfranchisement" like the civil rights guys try to label it every time it comes up. It only becomes so if it becomes unusually hard to get documentation or expensive etc. If it is so much of a deal for civil rights make the Id cost $10 and have the people coming to the door to signup up people to vote be able to do the id/form processing part of the process: you wouldn't even need to leave the house to get it sorted. If you can't prove you are a citizen IMO you have no right to vote so stop your whining.
I love how politicians roll out the same crappy platform every 2-4 years and try to intimidate you into thinking the world will end if you don't vote. In the US where you basically have two choices and in Canada where we have more but each crappy in their own way perhaps the best way to save the world is to not provide any stroke jobs to any politicians ego. We need an option on ballots that says: "You are all crazy I want direct democracy".
Followed 10s later with the cop pulling out an AK and a kilo of coke.
"Man that's not mine. I give lots of people rides it must be one of them."
I don't see it happen in Canada where I live but if that show is any indication it seems like in pretty much every state the cops try there damnest to search your vehicle and pat everyone in the car down even on routine traffic stops. You just did a slow roll through a stop sign on a quite street. Okay now I need to know if Pablo in the back seat has any drugs on him, yeah because that is relevant to the situation at hand. Crazy.
Warning them whether or not it will delete the phone if you chose the wrong one is itself a protected admission I think. How would you know that feature is enabled it is isn't your phone? If they otherwise prove that the phone is yours can they prove that you know whether or not that feature is currently enabled?
Yes and if you should happen to get into a fight with one of your fellow upstanding citizens while in holding they will then have a legitimate charge to keep you on for longer. Now that your fingerprints and potentially other identification is in the system now if you've ever been in the same room where a crime happens in the future they might come knocking: unfortunately fingerprints don't come with a timestamp. You might very well be held innocent on each case but why should you even be identifiable? Just like the use of pepper spray for crowd control when people are peacefully protesting for the authorities to get their way rather than dealing with people that don't agree with them now instead of asking the crowd if anyone saw anything and interviewing those that come forward instead just confiscate everyone's phone and see what is one it.
The problem is you don't know what will be incriminating. You happen to have a phone on your phone that has the murder victim in the background? You can't say you never saw them can you? The ME gives a 4hr hour window of when the guy died and you happened to have been in the same location within that window presto circumstantial evidence. Just the nuance factor alone can make it not worth it to progress from the casual interview to a full blown person of interest and now you need to get yourself a lawyer, spend a day in the police station etc.
They've also added (back in 8 but expanded it with 10) a lot of enterprise features. For example now you can pull down group policy when you setup your new computer for the first time. Just sign in with your work credentials (and presumably they have to have enabled it on their AD servers/use Azure domains or whatever) and corporate data policies, apps and settings get synced over rather than needing to wipe out your new computer with a corporate image to get things setup (making IT have to touch each box) now the end user can do it.
Such BS. A company one year gets to say: sorry we have no money for raises or profit for stockholders because we made an acquisition. Then a few years later they get to say "well we made a bunch of money but that dog we bought a few years ago is a real dog and has cost us 1B so far.
They sell it both sides: sell the acquisition idea to the board as costing X and then almost always end up tacking on a bunch of restructuring costs, "reduction in goodwill" etc. Very rarely do the come back saying "hey that thing we bought is now worth more than when we bought it and doesn't need any restructuring". I'd love it if companies weren't full of Ceasar's hoping to conquer the world ("I'm more important because I manage more resources") but had people willing to say the company is big enough and contains the business units that make sense for it rather than pissing away money buying stuff that they usually end up righting off to large extent later. Give the money you can't use back to the shareholders.
This is iOS x and I usually only have VLC running (I don't browse, send email etc with my iPad, it is just a screen for watching TV on the train). It might be doing something else stupid like loading a cache for the playback of a video and not cleaning it up when the video is done. But I have this happen right after a crash/reboot, or right after closing (not just minimizing) and relaunching the app. Is I said in my post to lots of potential reasons: bad hardware, bad OS, VLC sucks on iOS etc.

I'd love it if companies weren't full of Ceasar's hoping to conquer the world ("I'm more important because I manage more resources") but had people willing to say the company is big enough and contains the business units that make sense for it rather than pissing away money buying stuff that they usually end up righting off to large extent later. Give the money you can't use back to the shareholders.
This is iOS x and I usually only have VLC running (I don't browse, send email etc with my iPad, it is just a screen for watching TV on the train). It might be doing something else stupid like loading a cache for the playback of a video and not cleaning it up when the video is done. But I have this happen right after a crash/reboot, or right after closing (not just minimizing) and relaunching the app. Is I said in my post to lots of potential reasons: bad hardware, bad OS, VLC sucks on iOS etc.
