Yes and no. Yes some will cut and paste but most times reading the man page seems to be vague on purpose. One example that comes to mind is when I was setting up a DHCP server and needed that 3 of the four NICs to serve each their own subnet. Setting up one NIC was no issue. No examples could be found on the net with multiple NICs and the man pages may as well not have existed. After a day of trial and error a working configuration was had. It could have been done in under 10 minutes if 1) an example was given or 2) if the man page explained how to designate multiple interfaces. Stupid because the main issue was how to delimit multiple variables. Was it a comma, a space or another character. Looking back a lot of wasted energy that experience or StackOverflow solves.
Compared to AirBNB where the accommodations advertised are inaccessible, not what as advertised or plain unlivable and you are left empty handed with a company with couldn't care less. You are left thousands of dollars out of pocket stranded and abandoned.
In most jurisdictions you are still liable for the tourist tax since it is imposed by the local government. If the tax is not collected it can result in the unit not being available when you arrive.
Most jurisdictions in North America have fire safety requirements for tourist rentals including, fire evacuation plans, mandatory fire drills with staff training and inspections by the fire department ensuring conformity with the local laws.
The hypocrisy of this just astounds me. We insist on government intervention to protect the consumer or the participation of local business in financing local communities and oblige them to meet certain requirements such as insurance and then "Oh look shiny Internet thingy is less expensive". If your car gets damaged in an AirBnB client parking spot it's your insurance that pays.
AirBnB takes commission on both ends and doesn't provide any benefit/help/consideration when things go wrong. I find AirBnB to be more of a scam than anything else. That is my experience with AirBnB.
Businesses are typically wired to get the most profit for the least amount. Amazon and Ebay are not setup to calculate taxes, and haven't been required to do so before now.
Also, there are typically three different tax rates at three different locations to figure out what the tax rate is and who gets and who pays what taxed.
The question is who gets hit with the blame, the seller, or the website?
Frankly it is the responsibility of Amazon and Ebay to provide tax calculations as a service to vendors and customers using the site to ensure a pleasant and seamless experience. Once Amazon and Ebay figure out what they are supposed to do.
But it is the time between now and when Amazon and Ebay are up to code that sellers will suffer either lost income or an unexpected tax burden, and/or tax liabilities they were not prepared for. Its almost like being t-boned by a wreckless driver.
Nobody is wired. Business models represent how a business makes a profit. If the model doesn't work, business go bankrupt.
The hassle of taxation has been part of doing business since the start of business. If taxation is too cumbersome then that is the problem not that it is too cumbersome for some. It's too cumbersome for all.
If you can't manage your own business by collecting the legal taxes yourself then you should not be in that business. Sell to Amazon and charge Amazon. Why should someone else be responsible for your legal obligation. You are the one benefiting from the reward.
It's the cost of doing business. It is the same issue with the brick and mortar stores. If you choose to be in business in a jurisdiction you must follow the rules. If the rules are too cumbersome then they need to change. Why should online retailers get a free ride and not contribute? I never understood this mentality. If they don't want to collect the taxes then it's simple they don't sell to that jurisdiction.
Is it me or does this sound like buzzwords intended hide tax avoidance.
It sounds to me that some want the benefits and access to society without making any contributions.
If it's not OK for online stores to collect sales tax when doing business in a jurisdiction why is it OK for brick and mortar? Local shops are at a disadvantage since they have to contribute to the infrastructure that makes online commerce feasible while the online merchants consider it "unfair" to make any contributions.
You don't need anyone's help to invest in your future. Investing early in yourself allows money to work for you. The NZ August trip invested early on(in your 20's) could pay a monthly trip to NZ when you are 60. You may not be in shape to snowboard but then again you will most likely not have the energy to work physically for 8 hours either.
You are not placing the money under your mattress, that is not saving. You are "spending" your money on assets/items that can be resold later for more. You are spending to add value to your assets which depreciates at a slower rate than inflation. The point is to increase wealth not stop spending. It would probably lead to better products and less waste. Better productivity on an individual level.
I have no idea why your post is informative. His math makes a lot more sense than yours. If you can't pull off a 10-15% return after taking inflation into consideration find a financial advisor. In the last 20 years I think I had 2 or 3 years that gave me a return less than 10% after inflation. He may have exaggerated the return but it would be closer to $1million than your $100k.
I agree with your point of view to some extent but your solution is so vague that most people won't understand how to implement it.
I would say that people need to understand that money represents debt and that when buying a product the price listed is not what it costs you. If you are in a 50% tax bracket it means that the product is twice as expensive because you need to firs pay the taxman before you can purchase the product. In the same sense if you start saving your money, it will work for you when investing it. The less you will need to earn it. The earlier you start, the greater the benefit.
The problem is most people want instant gratification and place absolutely no thought on retirement or a rainy day until they get old enough, or in a position where they can no longer do anything about it.. If you are not born rich you will need to place more effort into saving and stop worrying about the latest and greatest. Our society is based on extracting money from people. You need to understand where your money is coming from and where it's going. It takes effort to take control.
It takes effort to understand that saving, investing, is the most important factor in your life after the necessities (food, shelter). Entertainment comes last. If after all the effort there is no money to save then you need to make changes ASAP. Either to improve your income or reduce your expenses or both.
Nobody cares about you as much as much as you do. If you can't respect yourself enough to make the changes necessary to improve your life, nobody will do it for you. If you are not saving (investing in yourself) then you are doing it wrong.
Once you are on the road to saving the next phase is to do a cost analysis on everything you buy. Cheaper isn't always better. Renting sometimes is an option when the use of the product is for temporary use. You don't need to get bogged down on this decision but you need to take some time analyze why you need it.
Lastly and most importantly it take decades to build, Quick short term gains are rarely beneficial. You need to surround yourself with like mined people that can help and encourage you through the tough times. Politicians always put themselves first. I have yet to see a politician who is in it to improve peoples lives. The proof is in the openness of the process. When decisions are being made in closed door meetings where the discussion are not public, you can be assured they are not thinking of you.
Because you cater to Europeans. Don't cater to them and you don't have to comply. Why do I have to pay to have my credit monitored? Business are lax with the personal information and hide behind vague policies and terms of service. This is an extreme reaction to an extreme problem that was getting worse.
And thank the EU for stopping this. If you don't know then don't use it. Your point that a business can leave my personal information, unsecured, or unsure whether it's secured and not be responsible is just plain stupid. If you think it isn't then just give me your name, your birth date and your current address.
I managed and manage business and I can say for certain that I know exactly where all my client data was/is located over the past 30 years. That is the point. If you don't know then you don't care about your clients and it needs to stop.
It sounds to me like your are building it into something that it isn't. I've worked with small business and every single point you mention simply doesn't apply or can be pulled out from the accounting software or POS. We are talking mom and pop here. They run a marketing campaign and if they track anything at all is the number of sales. They don't track who bough this based on what ad. If they do track it it is in their POS and accounting software which is as easily accessible as it would be for a large corporation. The problem here is third party agreements where the data is shared. So if it's too much trouble don share your clients information.
Medium to large business may. It's funny that they can automate the capture and sharing of information and can't automate the retrieval of the information.
You point to hardware when the topic is Operating Systems.
But even then there are few laptops which last as long as Macs and they are at the same price level and they are at the same performance level.
Innovation? The only laptops that I can go a check out that have a Tunderbolt connection because speed matters are Macs. There is no supplier who has any other laptop with thunderbolt on display. So where is this innovation that this article talks about? 5400RPM drives? USB2? USB3? Windows telemetry? Is that the innovation? What is innovative, that is a must have in a computer that is not available on Macs?
Can you specify the neglect in OSX. I would agree that there is neglect on the hardware side but what OS function is missing? I find more features missing on Win10 that OSX.
Yes, everything grows old and dies but it seems that we prefer to kill than just let it die. We live in a culture of waste and we prefer to send a functioning PDP to the dump than use it.
The value of old software being nostalgia or just plainly that it does the job that is required of it is not determined by it's age. Do bits grow old?
The question is, should Apple support it? This is the question isn't it? I would say as long as Apple maintains copyright on OSX which supports 32 bit I would say yes. The obsolescence is artificially maintained by laws which protect the creation of trash. If copyright and patents would expire with the abandonment of technology then someone who has a use for it would be able to maintain it.
IP laws were intended to bring things to market not protect those who didn't wish to share.
You describe an Apple ecosystem not an artist, musician, designer, film ecosystem. People need more than Apple proprietary stuff they need to get a job done. As of yet I haven't seen anyone who uses exclusively apple products. In most cases the iOS products are limited and restricted.
Hotels have regulations to follow which Airbnb washes it's hands. Airbnb doesn't care about negative reviews because you can't post them. When things go wrong Airbnb doesn't care, doesn't allow you to post about it on the site, and doesn't refund the payments. It has to hit the media in order for Airbnb to react. When it does hit the media the wash their hands of it by claiming to delist the owner only to find them back again a few months later.
Regulations should apply to all or to none. If Airbnb is a listing service then travelers shouldn't have to pay commission. If travelers pay commission then Airbnb is the travelers agent and should be responsible for the state of the destination as a travel agent is in some jurisdictions.
Airbnb takes commission on both sides and when there is a major problem to deal with they disappear.
If you are lucky enough to book with a decent host you may get what you pay for. Unfortunately when you book with a scammer you are on your own. There is absolutely no help provided from Airbnb. This is based on my personal experience traveling for 30 years so your mileage may vary.
No business is perfect. This is not about perfection. This is bout what happens when things go wrong. You are thousands of miles away and may have limited funds available or in a completely different culture where communication is not easy.
Normally with a regular permitted establishment you can verify various independent reviews. On Airbnb only positive reviews are posted. You only find this out when things go wrong. Airbnb does not post negative reviews even though you paid for the full stay.
Permitted establishments normally are inspected by local authorities which try to ensure a minimum standards. This does not mean that something won't go wrong but there is a bare minimum such as fire regulations. Information posting. Emergency exits. With Airbnb you are no even guaranteed that there will be a place to stay. Again Airbnb takes very little responsibility as to the accessibility or even to the legality of the rental. They haven't even visited the location to ensure that it is fit for the purpose advertised.
So Airbnb takes commission on both sides of the deal and provides none of the advantages afforded from the regulated and established lodging hosts and when things go wrong you are left abandoned and screwed. The horror stories haven't disappeared they are just pushed under the rug. If it's so bad that the local authorities are left to deal with it, you may hear about it. You can't post negative reviews on Airbnb.
Airbnb is not a sharing service since you are not required to live with current occupants and takes advantage of the increased costs of regulations which it does not abide with and wipes it's hands from all and any responsibility when things go terribly wrong. Airbnb pretends to be a listing service but implicates itself in every aspect of the business which milks every possible penny and extracts itself from any form of responsibility. I don't know why anyone needed a report to point this out if an individual acted this way people would say that they were running a scam.
If they knew about the issue back in March 2017 why is it a problem with the Pixel 2 and XL in February 2018. The headphone dongle supplied with the Pixel 2 is not fit for the purpose sold. The pixel 2 was also defective from the release. It seems that the Google brand of phones has difficulty being a phone. Their forums a filled with people having issues and the only solution that is offered is that you buy yourself another phone so you can send your current phone in for a replacement which may or most likely not fix the problem.
Now there are people here who are going to argue that the Pixel problems are not the same as the Pixel 2 problems but the Nexus line didn't have issues with the microphone or headphones and you would think that the fix would come from a tested solution than an untested one. Both Pixel and Pixel 2 were released before they were ready and at the the price that this should never have been an issue.
It has a great camera but if I wanted to carry around a second camera it would be my DSLR not my Pixel 2.
Yo buddy not sure what you are getting at. Setting up wordpress on a Linux system or a BSD system is the same amount of work. Just because you are familiar with one installation process does not mean that you know all. Just by your comment I know you haven't even looked at BSD. So let me help you. System config files/etc. User installed config files/usr/local/etc. Log files/var/log. Very constant, been so for over 25 years. Every program you listed is available and I can go from bare bone to full firewalled gatewayed AMP virtual host with backup in under 5 minutes with FreeBSD on SSD (Linux also without systemd) and I don't even need a keyboard or monitor connected. I could also figure it out with systemd but I find is very inconsistent.
I'm not saying that one is better than the other but Linux has so many flavors that it becomes frustrating when dealing with a flavor that decided to put user files somewhere other than/home. A little exaggeration but people who administer multiple OS's understand.
That is one point of view the other is that most copyright owners can't decide if it's a license or a product. The determination of the price was initially due to the costs associated with production and distribution of a good like an LP or cassette. As technology improved and the cost of distribution and production nearly disappeared the thirst for profit grew. So in this instance we want to consider it a product unless it was defective. There was no option to return the product if it was defective such as Sony CD DRM and Walt Disney DRM. Where a perfectly good player would no longer play new content.
Now in other instances they want it to be considered as a license such as when it is played at a venue such as a wedding or a business. It doesn't matter that you bought the CD/DVD. Now it's considered a license and you don't have the right to play it. While radio stations can play without paying any fees they want business to pay when a radio station with all the ads is on in a store.
And now back to the full circle, when that same CD/DVD gets scratched and we can't play the licensed material it's a product again.
The other issue I have is that copyright was created in order to promote and distribute content. Content producers retain/withhold content and also retain their copyright creating an artificial price for their product/license.
Now some want to limit it per device. As if it's the device that purchased the right to listen to it. Netflix has shown that people will purchase subscriptions and some copyright holders are never satisfied. Withholding the product so the can continue monetizing it generations after it was paid in full from the initial cinema distribution. Not to mention the original copyright, which expired and was extended. I guess there is greed on both sides.
The true reason is that it is used as a means to control the population by a group considering themselves elite. They pander to the uneducated and the disenfranchised.
Language is just one aspect of a culture and no matter what it will change. The French spoken today is not the French spoken 50 years ago. Further back you go more evident the change. The French spoken in Quebec is different from that spoken in France. There are regions in Quebec where the French spoken is very different form the rest of the province.
This also applies to English. So this idea that you are preserving the language by controlling the changes to the language is just plain silly at best. Language is important because it's a means of communicating. If French doesn't have words which relate to important communication terms then it is less useful and will be replaced by one that is. Just imagine that every item would be refereed by a descriptive term like, soft nose blowing paper. Or mobile multifunction electronic battery operated speaking device. The smart phone has been around for how long? Are they that slow? I don't think so but some feel that they need to tell the rest how to speak properly.

Yes and no. Yes some will cut and paste but most times reading the man page seems to be vague on purpose. One example that comes to mind is when I was setting up a DHCP server and needed that 3 of the four NICs to serve each their own subnet. Setting up one NIC was no issue. No examples could be found on the net with multiple NICs and the man pages may as well not have existed. After a day of trial and error a working configuration was had. It could have been done in under 10 minutes if 1) an example was given or 2) if the man page explained how to designate multiple interfaces. Stupid because the main issue was how to delimit multiple variables. Was it a comma, a space or another character. Looking back a lot of wasted energy that experience or StackOverflow solves.
Compared to AirBNB where the accommodations advertised are inaccessible, not what as advertised or plain unlivable and you are left empty handed with a company with couldn't care less. You are left thousands of dollars out of pocket stranded and abandoned.
In most jurisdictions you are still liable for the tourist tax since it is imposed by the local government. If the tax is not collected it can result in the unit not being available when you arrive.
Most jurisdictions in North America have fire safety requirements for tourist rentals including, fire evacuation plans, mandatory fire drills with staff training and inspections by the fire department ensuring conformity with the local laws.
The hypocrisy of this just astounds me. We insist on government intervention to protect the consumer or the participation of local business in financing local communities and oblige them to meet certain requirements such as insurance and then "Oh look shiny Internet thingy is less expensive". If your car gets damaged in an AirBnB client parking spot it's your insurance that pays.

That is one point of view the other is that most copyright owners can't decide if it's a license or a product. The determination of the price was initially due to the costs associated with production and distribution of a good like an LP or cassette. As technology improved and the cost of distribution and production nearly disappeared the thirst for profit grew. So in this instance we want to consider it a product unless it was defective. There was no option to return the product if it was defective such as Sony CD DRM and Walt Disney DRM. Where a perfectly good player would no longer play new content.
Now in other instances they want it to be considered as a license such as when it is played at a venue such as a wedding or a business. It doesn't matter that you bought the CD/DVD. Now it's considered a license and you don't have the right to play it. While radio stations can play without paying any fees they want business to pay when a radio station with all the ads is on in a store.
And now back to the full circle, when that same CD/DVD gets scratched and we can't play the licensed material it's a product again.
The other issue I have is that copyright was created in order to promote and distribute content. Content producers retain/withhold content and also retain their copyright creating an artificial price for their product/license.
Now some want to limit it per device. As if it's the device that purchased the right to listen to it. Netflix has shown that people will purchase subscriptions and some copyright holders are never satisfied. Withholding the product so the can continue monetizing it generations after it was paid in full from the initial cinema distribution. Not to mention the original copyright, which expired and was extended. I guess there is greed on both sides.
The true reason is that it is used as a means to control the population by a group considering themselves elite. They pander to the uneducated and the disenfranchised.
Language is just one aspect of a culture and no matter what it will change. The French spoken today is not the French spoken 50 years ago. Further back you go more evident the change. The French spoken in Quebec is different from that spoken in France. There are regions in Quebec where the French spoken is very different form the rest of the province.
This also applies to English. So this idea that you are preserving the language by controlling the changes to the language is just plain silly at best. Language is important because it's a means of communicating. If French doesn't have words which relate to important communication terms then it is less useful and will be replaced by one that is. Just imagine that every item would be refereed by a descriptive term like, soft nose blowing paper. Or mobile multifunction electronic battery operated speaking device. The smart phone has been around for how long? Are they that slow? I don't think so but some feel that they need to tell the rest how to speak properly.
Your joke is funny but most people couldn't tell you what operating system they are using.
