I just saw the first Verizon 5G commercial the other day. Yeah fucking right. Not only will it be the same ok but not great service, but it will allow you to hit your data cap in 1 hour of use instead of 2.
I enjoy that each of the seven words have their own wikipedia page. Like, I needed a wiki page for cocksucker. Also the image associated with it is hilarious.
So it would be more like Mt. Gox which lost a ton of bitcoins and tried to ponzi their way through by accepting more deposits to pay out the people that wanted to cash out.
I have never shopped for a bicycle parts. The link he shows simply does not show up in the search results for anyone. My guess is sellers need to pay amazon to show up in search results now.
How good of an idea was it? "Make something cheaper and faster." Any idiot can come up with that. It looks like these people knew what they were doing was not possible and continued on with the Ponzi scheme anyhow.
I got guilt-tripped into giving a 5-star rating at my car dealership for some routine service. "If you give any less than 5 stars, or no rating at all, our management considers that a failure."
Or maybe I was blackmailed. "Give us a 5-star rating if you ever want your vehicle to pass inspection again."
The stupid part was I was very happy with the service that day... right up until the guilt trip. I gave him the 5 anyhow, its not that poor guy's fault the entire world is fucked.
Seriously, 100 people on a daily call? I bet a lot of the participants avoid saying anything just for the sake of not delaying the end of it.
I guess even a WhatsApp group would be more productive/effective.
I had a boss with 25 direct reports, which is way too freaking many, enough that he never directly spoke to most people unless it was at the weekly meeting. The weekly meeting ended up being 2 hours of him individually asking each person for a status update. of course the other 23 people in the room generally did not care much about what they said.
It did not help that the "weekly" meting was more like once every 3 weeks, because the boss was too busy to take care of this own employees. Yeah, it was a shit company with shit management. Individually, lots of good people, useless as a group.
I used to work in a place where I had some cross-departmental meetings with people that didn't like each other. I mean really didn't like each other. Management was either gutless or powerless to sit them down and say "children, you have to cooperate or you will both go to detention."
At some point people in this office started calling in to meetings even when they were in the building. Most of them were "I am too busy working to be in a meeting, so I will just listen in." Some of them would bang away on their mechanical keyboards until asked to mute themselves, and then it was like they were no longer there. No worries.
Others, I realized, called in in order to shout down other people. The conference phone would mute when someone called in was talking, therefore they get to monopolize the discussion and talk over either their enemies or the actual chair of the meeting. Eventually I was fed up with the gutless management style and quit.
Would you rather the sun was in the sky from 5am to 7pm or 6am to 8pm? and so on.
Hell, that would be great. Instead, what I get at 40N is 4:30am -> 10pm in July and 7:30am -> 5pm in December.
No amount of DST is going to make either of those comfortable. Though I am in the "EDT all the time" camp. I think people living closer to the equator would not appreciate this.
The only real fix is to move south. Full astronomical twilight at around 7pm year round? Hell yeah! The problem is you need to live in Colombia, Ecuador, an African Rainforest, or Malaysia.
The summary was very careful not to mention her by name, but without reading the article, I can guarantee this is Reddit Ex-CEO Ellen Pao. The person who fought long and hard for censorship to the point of nearly destroying the most popular internet forum in the world.
The problem is if you live north of 35 degrees, like most of Europe, it doesn't matter if there is DST or not, there is simply too many hours of daytime in the summer and not enough in the winter.

Because time and time again, the free market has proven to not be capable of regulating itself.
Well, at least not anymore...

Why not use hunter2?
I am sure it will be handled just as well as Puerto Rico.
Oh, wait, they are Americans.
If you fork your children, you must sleep on their zombies when they die.

And after all that the guy doesn't think he did anything wrong, he just "acted on wrong information".
As long as they force Disney to pay billions on locally produced movies, they don't care if nobody watches them. It's just a way to funnel more money.

Sorry, your uber rating just went to 2. You are now banned from uber.
Orville as well. I so canâ(TM)t wait until our entire society goes this way! Itâ(TM)s going to be a blast!
Trademark, indeed.
Or just say "fuck it" and go to the competition now.

Septic is what is going to happen if he doesn't treat his wounds by pouring vodka over them.

So a small group of people wants to decide this for everyone else?
