Sounds like you gave up all chances of having a normal private life for 4 years to become a company drone. Fine for a short period, and if financially rewarding, but no way to spend a life.
If a company wants me to be available 24/7, in the office, in addition to usual office hours, they would have to pay me a small fortune and I'd be planning my exit from day 1. Employing me does not mean you own my life.
Or do tell you the password rule, but only once you've failed it.
And then they tell you next rule you've failed.
And then the next.
And then you find that in fixing rule fail 3, you've inadvertently breached rule 1 again.
Then you want to kill the designer of the website and can't bear the idea of going through the process yet again. So you put in the simplest password you can think of that can't possibly fail. Well done, designer, you've beaten all complexity out of my password and reduced it to the lowest common denominator.
Aka, if the last letters the person typed in were "stapl", what do you think the next letter is going to be?
In what circumstances would I know what the last letters the person typed in were? Passwords don't work like that.
The only circumstances this may be known is with a key-logger, in which case all bets are off. I don't have to work out what the next letter might be. Just wait and I'll be told.
His point was that it takes very little to get people to openly proclaim beliefs they don't hold.
And that needed to be proven, because.... ? Or is this just one of those bullshit "social experiments" where Youtubers get to act like assholes because they're holding a camera to record what happens?
Youtube is a cesspit of wannbes trying to outdo each other in shock value, while avoiding getting banned by Youtube, all for the views. PewDiePie was just another one playing the game, but he got burned. He paid people desperate for money to do something stupid, and then pretends to be shocked that they actually did it. That way he gets to claim he's not really responsible, while being the one who conceived it, paid for it, videoed it, uploaded it and collected the ad revenue.
"once they had accepted employment there, handed them resignation letters"
Isn't resignation something the employee hands to the employer, not the other way around? Am I missing something here, or is this just shoddy journalism?
Some people will have to move. Just like they've had to due to changing conditions since, oh, forever.
Except this time at a speed never seen before. And where are they going to move? Do you think that it's all going to happen and you're going to be living in happy isolation somewhere, untouched by the chaos around you?
You have a cute idea that raising sea levels will just mean property values of higher land goes up.
That is not what will happen. History shows us that people dispossessed of land (by, say, flooding) don't just roll over and disappear. They don't turn up on your street, decide it's too pricey and meekly head off somewhere else where they won't be a bother.
They are refugees. They need somewhere to live. If they can't buy property, they will squat. They will set up a tent in your front garden, and to hell with your property rights. If you have a problem with that they will fight you. To the death if so necessary. They have nothing to lose. They must live somewhere.
So your luxury property in warmer climes is much more likely either to become a densely packed slum, or a fortified encampment surrounded by dispossessed hoards. It won't matter who was there first, we will all be losers in the upheaval.
This seems like a good idea, but it gets you into the habit of thinking that "rm" is a safe command that you can easily recover from. Then one day you use it on a server where you have forgotten to, or haven't yet, done your "sweet script" trick. Or worse; on someone else's server.
Far better to treat the command "rm" with the full respect it deserves at all times and never assume it does anything but wipe data. Call your little script something like rm2 instead and get into the habit of always using that. That way the worst thing that can happen when it doesn't exist is "command not found".
And this would never happen with other operating systems?
Randomware usually spreads either through fooling the user, and/or by exploiting flaws in their security. Are you saying that other operating systems do not have users who can be fooled and never have security flaws?
You're an idiot who has no idea what the difference is.
Give me all your money. I promise to give you it all back "pretty much matching the old pricing" of one a year ago. I think you'll find you then have a clearer understanding of what the a drop of 0.12 in the dollar means. It means someone has just stolen 12% of your money in US dollar terms.
You can tell he's a real internet tough guy because his words are 200% tougher than other, fake, internet tough guys.
See how tough they are. See how they punch through your browser like it was made of tissue. Recoil in fear from the words armoured in muscular boldness and caps. These are the words of a man who people take notice of, who gets his way. Respect him or suffer another merciless pummelling of tough guy words.
This isn't any law of mine. So I suppose by "our" you mean "that of the elected government". The bunch of twats in Westminster in a government I most certainly didn't vote for, but have to live with as the will of the majority (if you can call it that in light of our antiquated election system)..
Just like the European Court of Justice is that of the elected EU parliament, the one you had the opportunity to vote and appoint, and have to live with as the will of the majority.
If we don't insist on a minimum support period for updates of specific devices, all that will happen is that manufacturers will continue pushing out updates to all their products, with increasing bloat and focus on the capabilities of their latest model. And then what'll happen is your 5 year old system will choke on the new bloat, unable to handle it, and become increasingly useless. At this point the consumers who care will deliberately stop updating.
So we need enforced support period with updates that are guaranteed to not only be compatible with old models, but does not degrade their performance either.
How brave of them to risk others lives in the name of progress. Because Uber can afford to kill a few people if needs be, take their word for it.
I have a car driven by a team of angry chimps. I also have stacks of money to blow and can insure my car. Looks like it's all legal and I'm good to go!
Exactly. I was suddenly rich I wouldn't stop work. Well, only for a year or so. But the work I went on to do would then be something I enjoyed, no matter how badly paid it was. I would forever be in the position of never having to worry about losing the job, or being able to quit if I decided I didn't like it.
This is why born-rich politicians (pointing no fingers) will never be able to understand the working lives of the rest of us. They've never been in the position where losing a job is disastrous. They've always had the luxury of choosing what job they'd like, to what degree, and taking a break from it all whenever suits them. That freedom truly changes the nature of your working life entirely.
This is a common story, particularly among those who have been poor their entire life. It's all down to a mind set. If you have never had much money, money is something that you spend. Either simply on living, or on luxuries before it gets eaten away by basic expenses. Money is not something you consider long-term and save or invest.
But if you're used to having money above that of living expenses, money is something you are used to planning about. You don't go straight out and spend it.
Well, if you want to remove the statement entirely from its context; yes it's not wrong.
Put it back in its context, and you have a meanly mouthed expression with a subtext of racism and xenophobia.
Not that I want to be defending the buffoon Trump or racist Bannon, I would hope that anyone prepared to live under Chinese one-party censorship can handle most of what Trump's America might throw at them.
It'll work just like all online vote systems work, including the slashdot scoring right here. People will down-vote not because they think the story is false or misleading, but because they don't like what it says. Or because they don't like someone it features. Or because they disagree with an opinion given.
And the reverse for things they like what is said, or they'd like to think was true.
Unless you have the time to do your own research on every news story, the best source of news is a source that you trust to be true and accurate. A source that depends on its reputation and cannot afford to lose its readers' trust. Anonymous voting systems involve neither trust or reputation.
We should all be using VP9 video compression, because it doesn't "weigh a lot". Must be it uses mostly zeros with empty centres. Although this does make it particularly ideal for android phones. Who wants heavy videos weighing down their pockets?
I would bet money that NONE of his political opponents read his books or didn't understand them.
Trump's books are ghost written. He probably hasn't read half of what went into them.
As for understanding them, what's to understand? "I'm great. I have all the best words. I have a YUGE intellect. I'm still great. And rich. The end."
Slashdot Mirror
I think I'd prefer a full-time professional who has their livelihood at stake in doing a good job, and the time and resources to do it.
BTW, nice air quotes. They have a nice bias shine to them.
They're quotes. As in; quoting the exact words of the post you are replying to.

Pretty much matching the old pricing.

You say that as if they mean the same thing. They don't.

On that basis I'm going to assume what you actually mean is GB. England is not an island.
