or maybe he did view the image with another util, and he's smart enough to know the 'critical error' isn't really critical, and the rest of the office is losing it over nothing? I've seen it go down this way before.
Or maybe he prefers the simplicity of pine over the convoluted mess that is outlook? Choosing a different path does not automatically imply a superiority complex.
A nice anecdote, but, really, he's still not in the same situation as his employees, mainly for the reason you stated: he doesn't have to. He doesn't have to answer to anyone, he doesn't have to do those tasks to get paid, and he doesn't have to tolerate any passive aggressive attempts at manipulation in order to keep his job.
They had to have done something, or we'd probably be a recently freed territory of great britain today. These people were not of the same culture as what we have today.
Management/BSA graduate types of today operate on the dudebro concept. No technical knowledge of the business is actually required, only a bit of 4 function math and the invaluable who-you-know list. In fact, showing that you do have technical knowledge causes the others to either feel intimidated and work to expunge you, or you're passed off as an anti-social geek and hit a promotion glass ceiling.
This is why our economy will probably tailspin in a few years: the people with the power do almost none of the work, while the people who actually do it, are increasingly tied up in the passive aggressive office dynamics created by that top level insecurity. Meanwhile, countries without 50 years of this holding them back will get things done more cheaply and efficiently...and, when things finally get really bad here, with more personal liberty intact. Now that will be a sad day for the USA.
Nope.. this is little different from some overweight guy in his 40s who still decorates his entire home with NFL paraphernalia, always dresses in a jersey of his favorite team, and couches every conversation with football analogies.
Yeah I know, heaven forbid that healthy men prefer to differentiate themselves from feminine attributes as a function of maturation.. When women or effeminate men behave according to their inclinations, it's 'empowerment', but when men are masculine, it's insecurity. Gotcha.
Except that life rarely responds to toxic exposure linearly. At some point it will become increasingly difficult for radically larger percentages of the population to breath. Of course, summers will be 65C by then..
Actually, people like him aren't communists or fascists, they're terrorists themselves. Anyone questioning the doctrine of the Supreme Corporate Soviet should be labeled as such so they are denied the 'privilege' of due process.
and their democrat/neocon elected idiots in washington. Yee's 'argument' could apply to just about anything, including things like computer hardware, software, tools/manufacturing equipment, and anything else that empowers the individual in some way. Why not put those behind a regulated paywall too?
Of course, a hyper regulated country with an ever shrinking 'freedom sandbox' is the leftist definition of liberty, and I'll bet the business interests behind the neocon right wouldn't mind it either. Anything to keep the peon employee-slaves in line, right?
Competition and cooperation have both benefits and blindsides the other lacks. That's why, even in nature, the balance between the two is struck and restruck constantly. While ms might compete with itself to its own detriment, cooperatively biased organizations tend to breed a consensus-over-truth, feelings-over-facts culture over time. In ms's case, ego blinds the organization from truth, and in the latter examples, groupie politics do it.
Doesn't the.net runtime (and the rest of the runtimes ms has produced) run on top of win32? Win32 isn't going anywhere so long as windows stays relevant.
and with attitudes like yours, freedom dies a little more, and society becomes a little less tolerant of the truth, instead bottling up the incongruence between it and politics til the pressure blows out via the next weak link.
I don't know what kind of childhood you had, but for me at age 7, there was plenty of competition from peers. Who could run the fastest, bike the fastest, beat super mario brothers without warps, who could climb trees the fastest, who had the most friends etc.
Not really, as a majority of religious institutions are anything but ethical. You are also forgetting the corrupt social opportunists who would strip us of every civil liberty if they could.
I'm from the US.. 1. Agreed. I would also dump the political indoctrination 'social studies' classes and replace them with real history lessons that encourage open analysis. I would also include classes on finance (age appropriate) so that when kids graduate highschool, they have at least a basic understanding of where money comes from and how it retains its value.
2. Agreed.
3. Gym is already a requirement in US schools, but, to be honest, I think it should be an individual basis. If the kid is of healthy weight, he should be exempt, esp by highschool. Also, sports should be stripped from the curriculum and either funded as separate town camps, or pay-to-play for those interested. Otherwise, they take over the social structure in school, promoting athletic performance over academic achievement.
4. Well, we have this here already. Most science classes have lab components.
5. Not sure about this one. I guess it depends. Having a tutor on call during class and homework would've helped me immensely. For me, all learning stops when I hit a question on something that the rest of the lesson depends on, and, in my experience, teachers aren't usually willing to go in depth.
6. Sure, why not. I was playing with computers since the mid 80s.
7. If they have the interest, sure why not? However, there are plenty of outlets for creativity. I never liked music class, or the requirement to get on stage to play/sing something. If we had a 3D art class when I was a child, I probably would've loved that.
8. Not everyone is a kinesthetic learner. For theoretical concepts, I'm a visual, mostly, so moving around in some kind of corny demonstration would serve to distract me. If I grasped the concept already, it would seem stupid, and if I didn't, not knowing what to do would be embarrassing, which is yet another distraction. In relevant areas like labwork, hands-on is good though.
They also recognize how inefficient and resource consuming it can be to have to place the feelings of insecurely bred people/culture over correctness on a regular basis. This kind of stress can blow off in lots of dark sarcasm that sends these mere mortals crying home to momma, and cause the intelligent to lose their jobs in the passive-aggressive neurotypical management counterstrike... This routinely happens in a culture that's too politically correct to accept the truth when it conflicts with propping up social insecurity/feelings.
Yes. Passive aggressive manipulation takes intellect, but the thoughtless 'team player'/groupie/conformist mentality that most people are born with does not imply superior intelligence. Note this doesn't stop narcissistic neurotypicals from attempting association between the latter and high intellect on a regular basis.
Making large salaries is not a privilege, but quite a burden on time and health.. They are earned just like any other. The money's nice, but for anyone besides the multimillionaires, it's a lot of work. Instead of two 8 hr shifts in two crappy jobs, it's one 16hr shift at one crappy job, salaried so you're on it 24/7 until you retire, get fired for losing it to passive aggressive office politics, or die.
The problem is that leftists have convinced the culture that the lifestyle of a $100k/year salary is just as 'privileged' as someone with 50million in the bank.. The latter could retire at any time and live in luxury for life, the former can't.
so we'd be one component failure or software bug away from launch? no thanks. On something this critical, we need redundant humans pushing buttons and turning keys simultaneously..

Because it costs money? Now if it was publicly funded, even partially, the results should be public.

Worse problems elsewhere do not mitigate the effect of problems faced here, smarmy statements like 'firstworldproblem' notwithstanding.

For now it does. In the future, it won't, guaranteed...if only when the whole thing goes web 4.0 only.
Having control of access to your tools is worth as much as their capabilities..
