I have worked for fedex for 15 years. I assure you this is not a hippie liberal company.
Corporations are naturally risk adverse. And it doesn't matter if it's a marketed mill... we can't ship a ball bearing certain places if you tell us it can be used on a tank. Regulations are what they are.
AC tries using a ball bearing on a tank, it has no effect.
This is why recruiters are nothing like agents. The recruiters do not give two shits if a developer is good at their job, or if the job is a good fit for the developer. As long as they can make it look good enough to get the commission.
In fact, if the guy quits or is fired even better, they get to put someone else in the position and make the commission again! One would think that companies and employees would learn their lesson.
Environmental plot? That's what people take away from that movie? It has much more to say about class inequality than it does about the environment.
Seriously. The assholes have a perpetual motion machine and yet still have an ice age. (Truth is I did not see the movie, but decided to skip it when I heard the plot was about a train that goes around the world... to solve... an ice age? Huh?)
Well you can only make people that are paying attention move. If there is plenty of room on the sidewalk and they are not walking against the flow, whatever. I don't even recall the last person I bumped into, accidentally or not. But, I think the theme of this thread is the people walking around with their head down deserve to get run into.
Perhaps they will learn to pay attention in the future. If they are lucky they will run into a person and not into a car.
Though, it does remind me. I once saw a cellphone-walker walk straight into the side of a stopped city bus that was blocking a crosswalk. Multiple people saw it coming and did nothing to prevent it. Everyone (including the person involved) had a good laugh.
I would be fine with assigned lanes with everyone keep-to-the-right (or left if you are in a country that leans that way). I usually stick to the right even when there is plenty of room to move if someone is on the wrong side. They usually figure out to get on their side of the walk by the time we meet.
However the city I live in is laid out rather dumbly with every store putting tones of shit all over the too-narrow sidewalk, or those trap door to the basement things that are corroded and look dangerous to step on. You are lucky to have a single lane to get past.
In that situation I am totally good with taking turns as long as everyone is keeping their head up and paying attention. If some douche is going to stick his head in his phone while moving through the one-lane section... he might get introduced to mister shoulder. Catch them in the arm, makes it more plausible you did it on accident, and more likely to knock the phone out of his hand.
Agree, got to put your weight into it. Disappointed that website had nothing to do with hockey, though.
Read the list of articles on the front page, still have no idea what the movement is about. Though I can take a guess since the only article that had a picture of a guy on the homepage started with "A stay at home dad..."
Learn from hockey. Lead with the shoulder, if you are a bit taller crouch down a bit to catch them in the chest. If you are short, jump a bit right at the moment of contact, the refs will never call charging on the short guys.
I am with you on this. If you have a place to go, walk with determination. Don't look like you are in a hurry, just go. If you are just aimlessly wandering around, pretend you are trying to get somewhere. Obviously I am not being a dick and running people over.
Being over six feet tall does help, but anyone of any size or gender can do it. Works great at concerts too.
Though sometimes the lady in red grabs my attention and I walk face first into an agent... doh!
That is probably the most reasonable explanation. None of the hardware was upgraded since the 90s when a weak-ass password and no way to perform updates was enough to keep people out.
Actually, my car has a short in it that shows up when I have the phone plugged into charge while the headphone socket is connected to the stereo. The problem is with the analog section of the connection. No amount of shielding the phone's memory is going to help with that. It manifests as static on the speakers. Unplugging the phone charger makes it go away.
Having some higher end 12vUSB adapter would probably fix this. Noise on the digital side is an either-or situation. Either you can read the digital signal or not.
Still, this technology might help to protect data reading and writing in high-noise situations. I can see this being popular with cameras and data recording devices.
Look at the picture it of it. It has "For Premium Sound" printed right on it. (in gold, so you know it is premium)
If that isn't bait for monster cables purchasers, I don't know what is.
Hell, the thing might actually work as advertised and is shielded against electronic noise. But they know damn well that would do nothing for digital data.
The "only ship to billing address" is not some conspiracy to keep you from ordering things. It is there to keep other people from stealing your credit card number and ordering a bunch of stuff.
If you are paranoid about your bank knowing the address of your work... well, perhaps you should not be using credit cards on the internet, since they will know about that laptop you just bought.
There is a wave between fat-client and thin-client that will be everlasting cycle. I got out of sync, though and forgot on which swing of the cycle we are on. I am pretty sure that XSLT was a few cycles ago, though.:)
I use Java and Javascript every single day. Are new programmers simply not able to learn more than one language? My work is primarily on a webapp, so its the classical Java backend Javascript frontend. However if our platform was different we would be using different tools.
What the hell they teaching kids in school these days? Back to the "Java is a hammer" days? Or is this the "outsourcing, so only one language for your entire end to end on every system"?
But, my guess that the article is clickbait trolling, and real architects actually know to use the best tool for the job.
Will they go after all Bluetooth chip producers, or those who have used the chips? Samsung might have had an interest in ‘losing’ this in the interest of seeing one of its competitors eating it.
Of course not. They will only go after the Bluetooth chip producers that have tons of money.

Ahh yes, crying racism is the new solid defense against anti-batshit/religious/woo claims.
I don't know who this asshole is, but I am willing to bet he is a white christian, which makes the claim even more hilarious.

That's a different story altogether... I had to beat them to death with their own shoes...
I have an agent filtering out the crap for me.
It is the spam filter, were all emails from headhunters go.

Yeah, and did you notice that nobody -- nobody at all -- is calling for street lights to be turned off for good.
Except for ever amateur astronomer ever.
So the solution to too much pollution in the air is... to put more pollution in the air! Brilliant!
And I thought the chemtrails people were just paranoid.

I found what you wrote to be Bitter Sweet.
That is probably the most reasonable explanation. None of the hardware was upgraded since the 90s when a weak-ass password and no way to perform updates was enough to keep people out.
So, you can't stick a credit card into the thing. And when it breaks down nobody gets alerted.
Traffic lights: No ability to know when they are working or not, no way to synchronize lights across the city.
Think about it. Devices need to be connected. Security isn't hard, companies need to start giving a shit about it.
The thing needs to connect to payment services, report usage statistics, request consumables, report self-test results...
But feel free to rage against "the cloud", while it continues to be that thing that lets devices talk to other devices to get work done.
