No people definitely should be punished. They should be punished by going through additional training. They should be punished by sitting in Continuous Improvement Forums. They should be punished by participating in Root Cause of Failure Analysis workshops. They should be punished by being part of creating a process where their perfectly human mistakes are identified and rectified without escallation.
People who make mistakes should accept to be punished, and if they can't accept that, meaning if they try to hide their mistakes, they should be punished even more.
Your post is a mistake. Your throught process is a mistake. Since you're on the other end of the internet I ask you to do the right thing for your silly post so that you may learn from it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Don't be so self important. Why would Russia give a shit what happens on Slashdot let alone pay someone to work up mod points and attempt to downvote when someone says something bad about them.
Not everyone who disagrees with something gains financially as a result.

Being dependent upon "the cloud" is not a good thing, and yet so many companies are throwing out their brains and signing up in the hope to reduce costs.
Hardly. Being dependent upon the cloud is infinitely better than what most companies have proven themselves as being capable of.
Remember the cloud is someone else's computer, and that someone else is quite often better at managing it.
A long time ago, I installed the Google Chrome browser. It installed 3 system services. I discovered that using the free SysInternals Process Explorer [microsoft.com].
Thanks for the advertisement. I discovered them using the task manager or the management console.
Yes Chrome still installs services. If that is your definition of spyware then maybe go talk to the men in white coats and avoid any hard objects.
Hardly. The EU market is large enough that people will bend over backwards to accommodate even stupid decisions. But just like all the stupid laws passed in America people will of course complain about it as they rightfully should.
Don't they lambaste Americans who think that kinda stuff?
America doesn't have a monopoly on stupidity. In fact one would say Americans are part of this big ball we call the world. Europe and others call out America for their stupid decision all the time, and I would argue that I fully expect reply in kind. Lambaste away, the Europeans not only deserve it but actually need to hear it too.
Maybe the Brits are leaving a sinking ship just in time...
That kind of short sighted thinking got them into their current position. Which could be more accurately described as a British ship rapidly taking on water while part of the EU flotilla after aiming their canons carefully down into their own hull and pulling the string.
As it stands the UK has already suffered worse economic loss compared to the rest of the EU than even the worst case predictions for actually leaving as modeled by both sides prior to the referendum. And they haven't even left yet.
Frankly I think if you are offering anything under 300 you should really go back and keep working it until you can hit that figure reliably.
Why? Tesla may be big in the USA but Mercedes is a European company, and there are far more popular electric cars than Tesla in the EU, the most popular of which has a sub 200mile range. Range may help the anxious Americans but it isn't a selling feature for many.
Tesla has a HUGE lead in rapid charging stations
Tesla has a huge lead in the USA. In Europe charging points are dime a dozen. Most en-route charging points go unused (people charge at home). And within the next 2 years Tesla's nextwork is expected to be dwarfed by the Ionity system both in number and in capability (Tesla doesn't have 350kW stations yet, Ionity does).
Teslas also have good room with extra trunks.
Another thing that concerns few.
Generally it would seem that people are just as quick to dismiss alternatives as the media is to use the label "Tesla Killer". The real world with European car manufacturers sits in the middle, a place where Tesla is actually just a competitor unlike "the only option" as it is in the USA.
So you conclude that it's not true and back your data by showing that the industry none the less kills many people each year? I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here. The fatality rate of shipping seems to be quite in line with fatality rates in other industries and just like other industries the fatality rate is higher in cargo hauling than it is in localised western sea faring industries like fishing.
Just because the numbers are low or trending down doesn't make it any less true.
which according to you seem to imply a lot of work
I never said "a lot of work", I just listed some differences. It's not completely free from work. As you said there's also marketing at play.
hen they should also include many other applications starting with Office and many from the Windows store.
Negative. You're missing the cost benefit again. What functionality is available in the windows store that is completely free by Microsoft that is fundamentally missing? Office can be sold for actual cash so bundling makes zero sense. Here's a test: Go to the Microsoft store and look for Microsoft published apps. See how many of them are already bundled with the system. While you're there note all the ones where functionality is being absorbed into the OS e.g. MS Phone companion, or functionality that is regional such as Bing translations. You may be surprised to know some of these are auto installed if you change your locale in Windows too.
Why should you have the option to upgrade Office to a new version when you can update your OS instead?
What model? Capitalism only talks about the control and profits and how it relates to public or private ownership. Capitalism places no requirements on the outcome of the market. I will raise you something more insightful: Capitalism with competition is an unstable state, with any bump pure capitalism will always tend to a monopoly.
Amazon is working hard to be a monopoly.
So is my local corner shop. That's how capitalism works. The thing that sets Amazon apart is that they are *succeeding* in becoming a monopoly.
Hey Anubis's RAM usage monitor, I have some information to share with you. Web standards have grown large and complex and the size of Chrome's memory footprint has nothing to do with it. All applications that meet modern web standards and capabilities as set out in the current HTML and JS standards have the same memory footprint. Lighter browsers can also be given a different name: Browsers that are missing functionality that is part of the standard or simply offload functionality elsewhere. So next time your user open you up, give him a big warning not to apply false attribution.
What you don't seem to get is that it is not a technical decision but a marketing one.
No I get this just fine and that has been my point from the very beginning. What benefit is there for Microsoft? The "Why" on your end is entirely irrelevant. You're just a silly consumer, why would anyone listen to you? They know what's best and they'll claim to have telemetry data or UX research or some other garbage to prove it.
If you want what you propose you need to provide a justification that makes it worthwhile for them. I'll requote the very first part of my first reply: "Better question: Why would they bother maintaining them separately?"
What's to change? They load from the top through hatches using cranes on the vessel.
Practices. I didn't say the change is big or complicated, just that it won't be done. For the past 30 years the industry has been talking about an emergency stop signal for unloading pumps on hazardous material vessels. The cost would be a relay, a connector and a cable on each boat. 2018 and they are still *talking* about it.
To say the entire industry is resistant to change would be the understatement of a lifetime. The only reason what you say can't be done is because it isn't done. Nothing more than that.
The shipping industry is full of very easy problems to solve.
So running the holds bow to stern and stacking them port to starboard would solve that issue.
Changing loading / unloading practices internationally due to a handful of ships being lost a year is not something that will gain much traction, especially not when the changes affect the one party who is otherwise completely by the loss of a ship and cargo.
And that is somehow worse than the loss of the ship and possibly the crew?
In-humanness of the response aside, the risk is quite low, ships are replaceable, and crews are typically from poor countries where life is cheap. These aren't your western well paid sailors who are mourned and whose companies get sued into oblivion for providing unsafe work locations.
Unfortunately the answer to your question is yes.
Sit idle. Yes this will make the cargo cost more to carry.
Only if the costs are spread across the industry. If the costs are only carried by the one company prioritizing safety over cost then cargo won't cost more to carry, it will simply put one competitor with a conscience out of business.
If safety demands a specialized ship then so be it.
Are you talking about the customer who doesn't want to pay or the hauler who doesn't want to bear an additional cost when their competitors don't?
The question is what to actually do about it which will almost certainly involved some amount of change to ship design and cargo procedures.
Indeed. But the answer is not to jump to expensive and impractical solutions that won't see implementation without a concerted effort across the entire industry. Shit man for hazardous cargo the industry in the past 30 years hasn't even agreed to a standardised way to emergency shutdown their unloading pump. Good luck getting them to implement something that actually cost them money.
No by my logic the tradeoff is decided entirely by the vendor into the grouping of applications, that is all. Everything has tradeoffs, and you can gauge vendor priorities based on their bundling practices.
There's noting bloated about Chrome. It is merely keeping up with the web standards of the day. The web standards which have effectively redefined "displaying some visual content" to "become a second OS within your OS" are what have become bloated.

Putin is an enlightened civil servant
Your logic processing unit is broken if you think that the parent somehow implied Putin would be good if it weren't for the USA.
If everything has to be OA then there will be no profit and there will be no reason for those things to exist.
Excactly. Then the leeches who provide no value and do nothing but rent seek will finally go out of business.
Marketing is just one function of a cost benefit analysis.
But agreed, MS if anything has shown that the user isn't at all considered in any windows 10 design decisions.
Right. Now we can add 4th September to the list that already includes 29th February.

The No. 1 Office Perk?
A Home Office.
Personally I prefer interacting with people. Home Office is a punishment, not a perk.
Frankly I think if you are offering anything under 300 you should really go back and keep working it until you can hit that figure reliably.

Except the additional inch of screen space compared to the 2018 macbook pro.
Seriously I assume since you got a Macbook from your employer you also have medical insurance, go book an appointment with an optometrist.
This is a common trope, but it's simply not true.

SHOW ME THE MONEYYYYY!
$2K per share keeps out a lot of small investors. It's hard to buy a 100 share block at this price.
I'm sure Amazon or the rest of the market is crying for the small investors.
