Welcome to the word of 24x7 services. If you want them to work more than 40 hours a week, somebody is going to have to be on-call.
Many companies compensate in one way or another. Some consider flex/comp time and the pay/benefits of a salaried position with 401k match and yearly bonus to cover the occasional inconvenience.
Either grow up and do your job, or get into a field that doesn't require on-call duty. See if it pays as much.
And according to the web site the thing weighs 7.5 lbs. It's a luggable, a desktop shaped like a laptop. Apples and oranges. And you're stuck with a shitty OS.
Or to be shackled to my home when I'm on call because you have decided that I shouldn't run the virtualization I need to do my job. SSH over cell data is viable. I'm skeptical that VNC or whatever would be.
I made no claims re 32GB. But I also think it absurd to set up a UPS and server rack and have to air condition my garage just to run Visio once every couple of months.
Show of hands for who can get their employers to shell out $1700 for a monitor?
I had a hell of a time getting approval for anything better than 1080p even at 1/4 the price of that LG.
More likely and expensible is the inevitable $200-300 dock for the small fraction of users who will routinely plug in more than one device.
Running MS Windows stuff in a Fusion VM is much simpler than maintaining centralized suitable infrastructure and dealing with VNC or whatever. Plus not everyone has a "server" at home.
CR also has over the years demonstrated all manner of bias and confounding variables. I remember when they had an obsession with rotary climate controls. I also remember shaking my head in disgust reading their laptop buying guides.
More recently I had to buy a washer and dryer. The top-rated models were all huge, beyond the customary footprint; IIRC capacity factored into the ratings. Which doesn't help someone with constrained physical space.
IIRC finding Pluto was an accident, the claimed gravitational effects weren't in fact caused by it if they existed at all. I could be remembering this incorrectly.
There's also being able to update the records and have clients use the new values sooner vs later, e.g. when infrastructure fails or to dynamically load balance.
I suspect also that in 2016 we still have broken client libraries and caches that violate policies to save a few bytes. Both used to be troublesome.
I think you're confusing apartments and condos, but more to the point, it's most likely a lot easier to provision fiber to new construction than to retrofit something existing.
Having to call one's bank and get someone to manually set up Apple Pay is a royal PITA though.
My first thought when seeing this headline was "Banks are intransigent, closed, and controlling" say all who have had to deal with Wells Fargo or BoA.
End corporate welfare. Stop handouts to telecom carriers that have not resulted in improvements.
Most of all decimate the USDA, which is a thinly-veiled front for factory agribusiness. They are responsible for the decline in food safety and quality as well as wiping out family farms, at the same time contributing to chronic disease with their bogus dietary programs.
And from what I'm told, for many it means living in shitty apartments vs real houses, even outside of expensive cities like London.
If we work more than Europeans, it's in large part because we *have* to in order to survive. The pathetic situation in Greece notwithstanding, do other European countries enforce the growing income disparity that we have in the US? I suspect not, that their economic systems do not enable the 1% dynamic.

It's a low bar. Like any summary that includes "could".

Fuck HDMI. Give me DisplayPort to run existing monitors from

It didn't work out on Silicon Valley and I couldn't see it working out IRL. Those glorified line-editor users are just too alien.

Having non-pathetic terminal and SSH clients alone clinches it.

In the trunk of my flying car.

Thinly-veiled vi troll.

I would think that most home devices like IP cams are unreachable behind NAT so I'm curious about the details.
Yet Chris Christie remains alive :-/
Part of the reason for Thunderbolt not really taking off is the extreme cost of anything using it.
Clearly you don't have kids.
