Ads are basically a scam. They tell the customers that effectiveness of an ad is determined by time wasted. That is obviously not true, but made the whole business rich and a massive negative factor for anybody else.
Will make it a lot easier for the next fascist government to identify all those that were at the "wrong" events or ever physically close to the "wrong" people, even decades later.
My "desktop" has been standardized for around 30 years now. I use fvwm with my own configuration. Of course, I have this barely usable gaming system, were some morons force changes I do not want all the time, but since I use it for gaming (the only thing it is halfway fit to support), I do not mind too much. Oh, and the same assholes will also spy on me when I have to go to version 10. At that time, I probably will stop doing anything on that system except gaming.
I disagree. I think your stance is pretty laughable. However you are doing it to yourself, and hence I have zero compassion for you. Incidentally, without "nerds", the human race would still be living in caves. I find the change kind of nice, it is just a pity that people like you benefit from it as well.
There is not a single Linux "desktop". That is restricted, authoritarian Windows lore. For example, I use FVWM as "desktop" (properly called a "window manager") and that is not even tied to Linux, but available generally on UNIX and UNIX-like OSes. Hence the connection between a Linux "desktop" and a Linux distro the author is trying to make is pretty much meaningless.
In actual reality, Linux on servers and workstations will be around as long as there is hardware to run it. And that is not going away, especially as Linux is not limited to AMD64 in the first place and runs pretty well on slower hardware. And there will always be people that mistrust the cloud with good reason and that hence want their local, independent computing capabilities.
It will happen when they realize that most programmers have negative productivity (it is more effort to clean up after them than to start from scratch) and when they start competing for the good ones.
It will not. You can get productivity up bu working overtime for about a week, with two weeks recovery time needed. After that week , you will get the same productivity you had before and a week later you will be below that. Unless you work hard enough to damage your health, then you can do this for a few weeks, but even then productivity will drop below what the 40h week gives you. And yes, obviously we are talking productivity per employee.
Your comment is worthless. Obviously we are talking about productivity per individual, not per hour. That makes your comment completely bereft of insight.
It is pretty clear Ford wanted to optimize his profits. Hence both the work-time reduction and the better wages must have been beneficial to his profits. And they were.
What got lost is very basic things and they did not get lost. There are just ignored by the current failures we have as "industry leaders". Ford war a real capitalist. He had no problem doing things that benefited his workers as long as long as they benefited his profits. Modern employers usually claim to be capitalists, but they do not even understand the concept. Instead they are basically slave-holders of the worst kind that think their employees must be miserable, work as long as possible and paid the minimum possible and that this is the best approach. This fundamentally fails at being "capitalist". Not only does it results in less absolute productivity, it also reduces the amount of goods employees can buy and thereby reduces cash-flow and market-size. About the worst things you can do to capitalism. It also leads to them not having access to the best workers, namely those that have new ideas or can really optimize things. Stupidity, arrogance and short-sighted greed.
You do neither understand what human rights are, not how they are given to people. The right to start an epidemic, for example, or the right to give a serious sickness to others are not among them. Hence your whole argument is fundamentally flawed. But what can you expect from an AC cretin. It is a pity that human rights are not "deserved" but given to anybody simply because they are human. You certainly do not deserve yours.
That explains a few things. Well, who would have seriously expected any integrity or honor of Ecquatorian politicians. Or any politicians, really. Can be bought, just a matter of price.
It does not really matter whether any of these accusations are true either.
Indeed. These are fundamentalists. Facts have no impact on their messed-up view of the world. At least these fundamentalists are not violent, unlike many others. They are doing a ton of damage nonetheless.

Books or goods, you need to actually read some reviews, ideally some good ones and some bad ones. Just looking at the rating gives you almost nothing.
It will be spectacular when that infrastructure goes down for a few days...

Simple fix: Just give _any_ crime at least a 15 years sentence. I am sure you would find plenty of people that would think that a good idea.
That would be preferable, yes.
You must me mentally deficient if you think that. After-effects from some infection that could have been prevented by vaccination?

This data should be deleted after at most a year.
Your level of insight and the complexity of your world-view is astonishingly low. It is a surprise you managed to learn to read and write.

I disagree. You can now claim I am not "sane" and I can simply ignore you for the moron you are.

It is not. It is _lower_. Have a look into the scientific literature before you claim nonsense next time.
You are wrong. Have a look into the literature. The 40h/work peak efficiency per worker is for _manual_ work.
It will happen when they realize that most programmers have negative productivity (it is more effort to clean up after them than to start from scratch) and when they start competing for the good ones.
Productivity per hour will go down.
But productivity per employee will go up.
It will not. You can get productivity up bu working overtime for about a week, with two weeks recovery time needed.

That, a bit generalized, is basically the only real explanation for keeping people working so long. It certainly is not profit optimization.

They probably have something really bad to hide, otherwise they would not "share" these stories, no matter whether true or not.

Ah, yes. People like you are too stupid to survive.
How can you be _this_ stupid and uninformed?
