If I want to install safety glass and airbags in my Model T that still runs, could I do it? Yes. The things is that I do not need Ford to do it for me.
They also do not prevent others to do the install. Well, that is until you start talking about software on cars. If in 25 years they find a way to hack my then classic BMW to crash it and thus killing people, should BMW provide a patch, a way for others to patch or say that I just need to buy a new car?
I received an email from our IT department today. Unfortunately I did not receive a suspicious email that blocked my PC and made it unpossible for me to do any work for the rest of the day. Because I would have clicked it like Michael J Fox.
OTOH if a person next to me caughs, I assume my PC is infected and I call IT and do not touch my PC for anything beside/.
Backup your data redundantly and check it regularly,
And by chewcking, try out if the restore works, not if the backup worked.
I myself use StoreBackup for redundant backups of data that changes on a regular basis (config files and system settings) and rsync for fixed data (e.g. music and music)
We all lack the mentality to do this. 10 people working 40 hours is 400 hours paid Now suddenly we need 200 hours work (with the same income/profit). What we could do is: 1) 10 people working 20 hours at the same income 2) 10 people working 20 hours, making half the amount of money 3) 5 people working 40 hours, having half of them without income 4) 4 people working 50 hours for the same amount, pocketing a bit extra 5) replacing the 4 people in step 4 that get paid 50 hours for people that do it for 10.
All the time income is the same.
It is a bit like starving kids in Africa. It is not that there isn't enough food. It is just that the distribution isn't up to par.
You will be able to pay the workers more per person, but that does not mean that the total amount you need to pay workers stays the same nor that the amount of workers stays the same. You also need to take into account that you must look at the industry as a whole, not just one company.
So if the industry has work for 1000 workers. Adding machines will make the product more available and will first increase the number of workers as the output will increase.
At some point, you will have reached the maximum output. At that moment adding more automatisation will mean that you indeed can pay workers more that are still at the company. The total amount of workers needed will will decrease. So instead of the 1000, you obly need e.g. 500. The 500 left will get a 50% increase and the rest of the savings go to the cost of the machines.
So the workers get more per person, but over all the 1.000 now get paid as if they where 750. So people are poorer. And that is if they get that 750 and not just 500, so the prices go down a bit or the 250 in the pocket of the person doing the saving.
In Belgium the idiots that bombed in Brussels used burner phones and burner sims. It used to be easy to just buy a pre-paid sim and start using it. That is now not possible anymore. As you already had to have an ID (Dates back till at least 50 years) demanding an ID is not that much of an issue as these IDs are with chip (and open source software is available to read them)
The idiots in Brussels had many burner phones and sims around They did 1 call and threw them away. At 20EUR a piece, not that expensive.
Nor sure if this is a European thing that people need to register their ID with a pre-paid phone
Also as you pointed it is trivial to go around it if you are a bad person with bad intentions. On a PC you can easily just add a second user. Or if you do not care them looking at it, disable the password till you are through control and enable it again later. Have your secret stuff encrypted online or if you really need it, have an encrypted zipfile online and download it at wherever you are. It is like throwing a gun over the metal detector. The alarm won't go off.
So why are they doing this? The same the Mericans are doing it, because they are afraid to say that doing it sounds as if they don't care. It is pure security theater.
The scrolling issues are done on purpose, because you will click on it by accident. It would be easy to tell what space it would occupy. It has been part of HTML 1.0 or so.
Unfortunately my work does not allow me to install an ad-blocker (and I do not understand they do not have one installed by default, but whatever)
Many years ago I talked with somebody who did control at a large supermarket in Europe. She told me that the way they cought people stealing from the till was because they always took the same amount. Sure it can happen that you have a short in your till, but if it is always the same amount, they will become suspicious and it will gets you fired. If you take a 20 bill each day, it will soon be clear you did so.
One person did it the smart way and was fired because he told cow orkers: Taking different amounts each time and even sometimes had too much in the till, although obviously more in his favor than in his disadvantage. Also he never took one bill as most would do, but also took some coins. This person was looked up as sloppy, not dishonest.
The same goes for companies. Life existed before them. Life will exist after them.
What is even funnier is that all the examples are companies that do things that are pretty bad for the customers. So it is liker asking what finger or toe you would miss the least.
Apple: Abuse of copyright and trademark Amazon : Abuse of workers Facebook : invasion of privacy Alphabet : Invasion of privacy Microsoft : They ain't GNU
I am sure you can come up with a few more things they do. Yes, what they do is legal. That does not make it moral and are bad for the customer. So why would I favor one above the other if I would love to see them all leave?
I will assume it was send as a massmailing. Just received one the other day, so I know I am still in some database from 10 years ago. If he really want to have me for a job, he best just pick up the phone and leave a message I have ALWAYS called back, even if I was not looking just to see what they where offering. OK, most of the time it will not be the manager himself and I am OK with that. He will also not be the person who picked me to make the list to be called.
And yes, most people will not answer their phone, but as most will have voicemail, it is easy to leave a message.
As a manager: If they do not call back, are they really the people you want in your company?
The legislation would not be what you want it to be. It will be some or all of the following: 1) No purchasing of data of politicians 2) No publishing of bought data to the public 3) A black-list or white-list of companies 4) An NDA...
I am sure that the investment will be exempt for X years of paying taxes. Just by saying 'I will create jobs' your taxes will go down. Mind you, this is not just a US thing. It is usable worldwide. The political climate inn the US now might just be that the deductions go a longer way. Because what politicians want to be able to say is "Look how much jobs I created" and not look at the cost. Build the factories in the right place and you can extend these exeptions, or close the factory. Start to fire large number of people just before elections and it will work.
They are just shopping for the cheapest price and are less loyal than their customers who swear by the brand. No, this is not only about Apple. This is about any company. I have seen it on a local level at a smaller scale.
If you want to know: read on: The company was asked to pay city taxes of X amount. They said that if that where the case they would go to the next city where the taxes where lower. They received they tax cut. The company had around 40-50 people working for them. I talked to the CEO and he clearly stated that if they would not have gotten the tax cut, they would have done absolutely nothing. It was just a bluff and it paid off.
Fines about these should work exponentially. So if the first one is 1000, the second should be 1000^2 and the third 1000^3. They should also be based on the income (not profit) of the company. for the first one.
It should also be linked to the CxOs, so if they pull of the same at a different company, the same fine applies.
OTOH they paid for their politicians fair and square, so there's that.
I use it for many sites./. is one of them. I also use it to get torrents, but most I use it for the 200+ channels I have on YouTube. I see when a new thing is launched, can see if I am willing to actually see it and easily follow it. No need to log in and find my way through the YouTube interface.
I assume they will soon stop it when they realize that people spend less time on their site if they use RSS.
The way you ask it, it sounds as if you say: Should I be fired if I used the time the company pays me to do something else, like sitting in a bar or doing my second job.
The answer is "hell yes". There is no reason not to. It is called company time for a reason. Even in socialist Europe you will be fired for that.
I can turn the question around: If you hire me to do some work in your house, would you be ok if I cleaned the next doors swimming pool during that time?
The way it is asked has nothing to do with IT. Just because you add "on the Internet" does not change anything.

To be fair, she also isn't. In fact everybody in the UK would be a PM candidate, no matter how unlikely it is that they become one.
You could start introducing yourself like that:

Far Right in Denmark is not the same as in the US. where it is now more than 50% far right.
Well then I guess that over time it will get fairly good at causing heart attacks.

Most of the world accepts political refugees. I am sure e.g. Europe will accepts these US delegates as well.
To be fair, the women only need 77% of the space.
