People do care about keeping 7. Windows 10 while technically supperior, has major breakage issues upon frequent updates.
Agile reelease may work well on phones with jailed apps but legacy crud make Windows a nightmare. This is why MS wants developers to use the app store. Windows is a mess and a Hodge podge glue of legacy and unknown ungodly nightmare of hardware support from manufacturers who refuse to update drivers.
Users don't care to the point where they need it to work but care when a change to something disruptive.
Easy. 1. People choose to buy iPhones. People who hate them buy an Android. 2. This is anti MS site slashdot. A site like neowin.net is where the tiny Windows fanboys go. 3. People don't choose to buy Windows. They do so because they need a PC for work or some task that uses software which runs on Windows.
Gone are the days where PCs are cool and fun!
Phones are cool and the PC is the boring visual word processor to type things. So because it's boring and a chore then OS updates are not cool anymore than updating the firmware in your thermostat. They are disruptive and due to legacy break shit. Windows 10 is technically superior to 7 and I love hyper-v and WSL Linux built but no one gives a shit as it's work.
I agree on principal that everyone would benefit if we worked less and hired more people and stopped obsessing over time.
But in reality my posts are about hurting parents who need to work and an intollerent society of not showing up early or before 9am outside of programmer jobs.
I had to not work for 2 years because of this problem as kids had early release at 1:30 Friday's to appease the teachers union. No one would hire me as a result.
Redicilous? Where do you live? In the US, Germany, and Nordic countries tardiness is never ever acceptable PERIOD. Sure you can be a few minutes late every now and then but if it is a common occurence then prepared to be disciplined.
I have to get up at 4:45am to get to work at 8am due to traffic and other variables where I live. I was late 3 times when they demanded I come in earlier last month and I was angry too. Then I thought about it and realized if I didn't be there on time they would fire me and replace me with someone else who will. I am a contractor and the customer is always right too in the US.
How do we prepare our kids if they expect to show up late and be fired all the time when they enter the workforce? Also in my neighborhood I see cars heading out starting at 4am! Obviously they have no problems and are thrilled to be up early and have a job.
But I studies international marketing in college. Germany, Nordic countries, and the US/Canada do not tolerate tardiness and have more clocks per capita than everywhere else. You can't change the culture of Americans when someone else is happy to do your job for less and be there on time.
Just go with the flow or be unemployed with no benefits as being late counts as misconduct.
That's great. My boss would fire you. Infact, I was denied being hired full time because I was 8 minutes late one day, 22 one other day due to an accident, and 9 the rest. I learned my lesson.
The boss who signs your checks tells you what to do an when to come in. Do not like that then die as you starve. That is just reality. I studied International Marketing in College. The US, Sweden, and Germany have more clocks than anywhere and tardiness is never acceptable PERIOD in our cultures. You can rebel all you want but if you live in these countries you need to warm your seat at the right team and that is always more important than work as you loose the wind in your sail when you do good work and get denied a raise or promotion.
Kids need to learn this too. It is not about being a wuss but acceptance that people in America (most slashdotters) are retarded and I agree with you on this. If you want their money suck up and show up early. Perception is reality
shifting school start times at some elementary schools by as much as two hours. Even more... Hundreds of families were facing a 9:30 to 7:15 a.m. shift. Elementary school kids should start at 7:15???
When are they supposed to leave the house? 6:45? When are they supposed to get out of bed? 5:45? When are the parents supposed to get out of bed?
Hello!!! That is torture!!
Funny I have to do that to remain employed. Why can't they? Not everyone gets to be a rockstar and live 5 miles from the office. My company forbids work at home and I have people who need warm seats at 8 and live 80 minutes from work. It is good to teach children the value of arriving to work on time and going to bed early and getting up early.
After all school is to prepare them to be adults and this is what it's like to be a grown up who isn't a badass programmer who has an understanding boss.
There are pedophiles out today and it is dangerous in urban areas with traffic. The reason they start that early is not just because Mommy has to be at work by 8 but because you would increase bus drivers by 300%. Think about it?
You can have the same bus driver drive preschool, elementary, middle, and high school. If they all started the same time you would then need to hire 4 times the amount of bus drivers for each shift.
That's great you don't. I do. I work better at 9 hours as I feel tired if I sleep less due to my genetics and age. I am also on my feet for 6 to 7 hours a day so I am more tired too. 6:30 would mean I would need to go to bed at 8:30 at night to get up by 4am to be out of the door by 5am to get to work by 6:30am.
Easy. You're a Mom who HAS TO GET TO WORK by 8am or you're fired! To do this you need to drop off your kid by 7:15am. That is the problem.
I see comments here whining about change, but it is simple economics. You don't show up to work at 8am you won't have a job for long. If people can't work you bet your ass they would freak out as they are just shifting the costs from the school district to the parents aka tax payers who now can't work.
High school kids are independent enough to get to school and prep themselves by that age, but not when your kid is 6 or if there are child predators outside who pray and kinds walking to school by themselves at an earlier age.
And not to mention God forbid be late as being in a seat at exactly 8 even if there is an accident is more important than work produced. Just seat warmer at right time to look busy
I divorced my exwife mainly because of World of Warcraft.
Addiction can be real! It isn't just a hobby as WOW in particular is designed or was in the early days to get you included and hooked. Leveling is great... but man you want to see that new continent or get that awesome purple dagger to kick ass well shit you need to do the time and get some gold. Ok now you have that purple dagger but you SUCK at PVP... you need rep points with the Korin Tor at Dalaran. That takes A LONG while. Wahoo now you don't suck at PVP... but man your mount is slllooow... etc. Then comes raiding.
With raiding it is a commitment. You will get your ass benched and kicked off if you can't get your ass on from 10pm - 2am four nights for Naxx!... oh shit you loose 500 gold repairs a night?? Well shit, you need more gold and your guild needs potients for healing and damage... that requires 2 to 3 hours of herb gathering BEFORE YOU START your 10pm raid?!
You get the picture but that was my ex wifes life from 2009 to 2011. I had enough. Kids homework wasn't done. House was a wreck. We had the christmas tree up in June when I wanted to play with her as I wanted SOME time with my wife.
Long story short yes we had problems too during the great recession when this shit hit the fan at the time and we were both looking for an escape like you said but this was no other. In the end I went back to the house to discuss to serve my exwife the divorce players. I told her I am willing to discuss options and work on things. Her response? Um, not now I have raid in 15 minutes??!! WTF! I went ballistic and she started throwing glass at me and I screamed I am divorcing your ass for sure now enjoy your raid as you care more about it than our marriage!
That was screwed up but I learned a lesson and to this day video games lost it's lore even if I was the man and not the woman in the relationship I can see how she would feel. My ex did try to work it out but I was gone and too angry at that point.
Even if they are doing well now. The Great Recession had made eating at home a habit.
Misconception. The economy is doing great... for you and corporations. Jobs are here. The elephant in the room are 2 things. 1. Mellenials represent the biggest population size since the baby boomers. 2. Student loan debt is catistrophic! When you owe $60,000 and and pay $1000 a month while making only $45,000 for the privileged of not working at McDonalds it means you can't afford to eat there.
Since this is the largest demographic sector it means production and lots of jobs but people too broke to spend it.
The numbers used for U6 are bs and do not count people out of work nor debt or spending habits. Just gross income.
This was the downfall of Gnome, KDE, and Firefox. Damn, Chrome is so powerful now and CSS and HTML are so much more advanced than the past that I don't think another browser can pop up to replace it sadly.
The paid version can rank you and you can rank yourself with the job to see if the recuiter will even waste his or her time? If you are high you can also send a message directly.
The problem is HR today uses filtering or ATS systems that turn your hard worked resume into a black hole. You compete with 1 to 500 other people and you NEVER hear back! It is ridiculous.
LinkedIN helps you go around this problem by contacting the manager directly.
I got my exwife to quit smoking this way. You just need to have your brain not fight you. She smoked cigarettes regularly for 1 week and wrote down each time she smoked. She cut back 15% the next week. 15% the next and so on. It was easier than expected.
Yes she still craved a cigarette but was able to quit without the shakes.
In Europe AA programs are a not a end all drinking forever. It is to ween the addict off alcohol slowly. Many former alcholics can drink a glass of wine fine after a while.
When taking anti depressants that fuck with your head it is the same process. If you are on a high dose of Prozac or any SSRI or SNRI and just quite it can be very serious and bad! You need to take apart the capsole and count the pills after weening off the lowest dose over a month.
It takes awhile for brains to adjust to rapid changes in endorphins and neurotransmitters.
I say this article is true of the exact opposite. For those non Americans who know the difference between socialism/socialist democracies vs communism.
Tell that to the families of those lost in Kentucky and West Virginia from Opoid addiction?
Better yet tell that to the families of those who died due to denied treatment from the lack of insurance thanks to big pharma endless needing profits?
Old geeks remember only the good times of the good old days. Not NT4 required a ps2 to USB adapter and Windows 2000 required a reboot when you unplug a mouse as it's not plug n play or that your system was 0wned without blackice firewall software etc.

Or you're an American. We have to work 12 hours and live to work or we get fired. We have too much work to do otherwise
Terrible! Your body has biorythms and a rotating schedule hurts productivity and morale the worst as you are evolved to not work that way
