Care to inform me what medication would help with Asperger's? Wouldn't it be more profitable for pharma corporations if doctors came to other conclusions?
There is one exception to this rule: If you're a pentester team. You should NOT run a test that potentially cripples a database beyond repair on a critical production system.
Not that we ever did that. Oh, by the way, the outage yesterday was due to sunspot activity...
How is this against the public image of the company? It is the public image of the company. They don't even try to hide it anymore, well, how could they?
If you can't hide anymore that you're abusing your users, why not just flaunt it? Worked for other drug dealers, too.
Or it's a distraction from something else. It's like in the old joke:
Spin doctor: "We go to Iraq and kill a million Iraqis and two dentists." Press: "Why the two dentists?" Spin doctor (to politician): "See? Told you nobody would ask about the Iraqis".
Is it any different anywhere else? We're working our asses off in the server rooms, development groups and security groups and then we get to see what marketing and C-Levels do.
Since I saw this, I don't think Crack is the worst. Obviously it gets worse if you leave out the baking soda.
Dude... I don't know how to say it but could it be that you were the target of an elaborate prank?
I mean, let's be honest, if I was asked what the initiation ceremony of some secret society was, and if I was into that kind of sausage suckling... well...
This wasn't uncommon in former Soviet East Europe too. Certain import/export papers you needed were pretty much impossible to get. You could of course request them and with a few months of processing time you'd get them... or you'd simply accept the "fine" of about 10 bucks (west money, of course, payable immediately... yeah... right...) and suddenly the required forms miraculously appeared, pre-stamped and approved.
As soon as anyone starts even thinking about selling oil in anything but dollars, you'll see a carrier park in front of their capital and the spin machine turn them into teh evilz of the world.
Worked in Iraq, Iran and Venecuela (and after Iraq nobody was cocky enough to say "dare ya" anymore), will work in Saudi Arabia if needed.
Hey look at that, we can actually agree on something! Didn't think we'd find something we have in common, and if it's only disgust for Putin and his cronies.
Why as AC? Now nobody will read the one comment in the whole thread that's actually insightful.
Or were you afraid to tarnish your name with a posting that is actually not only on topic but also informative? I know, it doesn't belong here anymore , that could easily ruin your karma...
I guess nobody would call Henry Ford a bleeding heart socialist, but he was the one that doubled worker's pay in his factories and introduced 8/5 work weeks.
And considering his success, he must have known something that got lost in the time since.
as soon as he subjects himself to whatever he considers a boon, blessing or huge advantage to those affected. Then we can talk. Before that, he's just doing what he's best at: Bullshitting people.
Sorry, but improved detection isn't just an excuse. It's the reason. I'm reasonably old and remember my childhood, and back then I went to school with quite a few kids that would be diagnosed with certain mental conditions today, from ADHD to autism. Not the case back then. ADHD was "cured" by smacking the kids 'til they would sit still and autism was just shyness and being weird.
Maybe you're not old enough to actually know that yes, these kids existed back then, too. The difference is just that nobody gave a fuck.

I was away for a while, is it finally legal? Can we start?
I don't consider sitting in "business dinners" and at "golf meetings" working.

Mr. Schumann, please report to room 101 for a brief chat.

The conspiracy nuts will go bonkers about this!

Yes, now would you please shut up so the powers that are can continue to think that they actually have a say in what we can and cannot see? Thank you.

And before you answer, we mean work. Not sit in "dinner meetings" or have "golf meetings".
Idle hands allow you to raise the head, take a look around and ponder for a moment whether what you do actually gets you anywhere.
And that's dangerous for those that benefit from you not doing so. Because you might notice that you're better off without them.
Or you could have my job, no overtime but better pay. I own a couple apartment houses which, unlike your motorcycles, generate additional revenue.
I literally make money while playing video games. Try that with your motorcycles.
I can't help but think of them as I do of philatelists. They collect stamps, appraise them, trade them, buy and sell them...
Philantropists probably collect humans. Appraise them...

Over here in the civilized world, we replaced natural selection with civilization.
In return, we got Stephen Hawking. I'd say we win.
It's one of those jokes that end in "Oh dear kid, just be happy that you don't bark".

I bet you would have held your marshmellows into the fire of the library of Alexandria...
