Are you talking about the unfair competition for Taco Bell, or the fact that the internal fights between cartels increase the price of drugs that merely transit across Mexico?
That Chinese company really care about the employees, they even offer them a safety net in case they experience psychological distress!
That even beats the Nike production line in Vietnam where women were provided with athletic trainng opportunities, running around the factory in the pleasant summer days.
If you want to protect children from perverts, you should keep them away from GOP politicians and religious leaders.
Totally agree. On the other hand, if you want to protect them from serial killers and mass murderers it's best to keep them away from Democrats (like John Wayne Gacy, or the Ft Hood shooter, or the Virginia Tech shooter, or the Batman movie shooter, or the Washington Navy yard shooter, or the Tucson shooter, or the Connecticut school shooter). Honorable mentions to he Democrats who killed MLK, JFK, Bobby Kennedy, John Lennon and Malcolm X.
Moreover, who decided that "diversity" was a good thing in the private sector? It's one thing not to discriminate against ethnicity/gender/religion/etc, it's something else entirely to actively try to hire a more diverse workforce.
Besides, it's ludicrous to think that you have the monopoly on what "diversity" means. Do you look down on people with a corporate background in your hiring process for your startup? Do you make sure there's not an astrological sign that's underrepresented in your workforce? Do you have enough people that crumple toilet paper instead of folding it when they wipe their ass? What about vegans, or sedan vs coupe drivers, or dog vs cat people? Do you have a 50/50 split between liberals and conservatives? What about people with a unibrow? Do you have as many bronies as GI Janes? There's no end to this madness.
Hire the best people you can afford, that should be the driving factor, anything else is stupid.
But in about 3 months of searching for, and listening to, many, many songs on Apple Music, I have only encountered about one or two songs that were in the Catalog; but weren't available for streaming.
I see. That's how you came to the conclusion that "virtually" the entire iTunes music catalog is available on Apple Music. Just like the fact that you personally didn't lose files means that there's no way it happened to someone else.
I wonder if your thinking comes from using Apple products, or if you started buying Apple products because of your thinking. Either way those Apple conferences must be fascinating if they're full of people like you.
I subscribe to iTunes Music, and it hasn't deleted a single byte of data from my work Win 7 laptop, my MacBook Pro, my iPhone nor my iPad.
I don't know what is iTunes Music. Is that a made up product that fanbois use to defend Apple when it's clear to everyone else that Apple did (again) a terrible job with one of their actual products?
No, and if you'd get your head out of your ass, perhaps you would have heard of it. it's Apple's Streaming Service; and although I generally hate streaming services, this is pretty cool. They have the typical "channels", which I ignore; butmwhat is quite unique is that you have unlimited access to virtually the ENTIRE iTunes MUSIC Catalog, with no frickin' AI deciding what you " want" to hear. Just do a MUSIC search in the iTunes Store, click the Play icon, and voila! Even works on cellular (you have to enable that specifically in iOS).
That mysterious "iTunes Music" of yours sounds a lot like "Apple Music", except of course that everybody knows that not the entire iTunes store is available on Apple Music. Even Apple marketing, which is famous for bullshit, doesn't lie about it.
Since you're such a big iSheep maybe you have access to a special VIP service called iTunes Music, it could be some kind of reward for being part of the Apple volunteer sales team. I mean, even your Slashdot username is an Apple ad, that's impressive. There's just no way such a dedicated unpaid salesperson would not know the real name of an Apple product and would be so badly misinformed about it.
iTunes hasn't been a "desktop media player" for over a decade. Sure, it plays music and movies, but it's also a library (Database), a store (internet browser), a device manager (to include mounting, disk/memory management & reformatting, and device OS management), a tag editor, a cd/dvd authoring suite, online radio streaming, etc. The install file is actually five or six different programs, one of which is a networking protocol.
iTunes is more like a whole OS running in a VM than a desktop media player.
Cool I have one of those terrific "whole OS running in a VM" things too on my computer. It's a file browser, a software development platform, a configuration file tweaking utility, a temporary clipboard storage extension, a movie subtitles editor, a formatted data sanitizer, and it can be used to write theatre plays and rap lyrics as well! It's called notepad.exe

One of the links leads to a story where a guy complains about Apple Music (not mere iTunes). When you subscribe, they actually remove files from your machine and store them in "their cloud", playing you back whichever song they deem a match for your file. And you lose it all when you stop paying.
I had about 62GB in my music library. iTunes (which i only use to sync music on my iPod) deleted everything except the 10GB or so that was purchased on Apple store. .
I had a huge vinyl/cd collection to start with; when I liked an artist I used to buy the entire discography. So I grew my digital library and saw it as my own private Spotify. Put it on random and it's like a commercial-free radio that will never play Kanye West or Celine Dion.
I have a backup on Glacier and could re-rip stuff if I really wanted, but I probably won't. It's easier to use Google Play Music and it makes my whole iTunes/iPod setup obsolete. Live and learn.
Anyone who has ever worked on any complex software is aware that unusual sets of rare circumstances can result in unforeseen behavior and the solution is rarely as easy as "grep for problem."
We're not talking about a large ERP system that interacts with banking API, warehousing software, antiquated mainframe transactions and cryptic EDI formats delivered via a proprietary VAN.
We\re talking about a fucking desktop media player that has 3 possible sources for media files (Apple Store, cd drive and the computer filesystem) and is 100% under control of Apple. There are apps more complex than that maintained by single developers or small teams who don't have access to billions of dollars to do QA.
For for comparison, I also notice that Justine Sacco and Monica Lewinsky also appear to have paying gigs.
You can't possibly put those three people in the same category. Justine Sacco did not try to shame someone, she made a joke not knowing that it would be seen by so many people and offend strangers. Adria Richards was something else entirely. She did tried to shame publicly two guys who made a joke she disliked, and then it backfired. If you don't see how those things are different, you don't understand the issue of public shaming.
Normally it should be set as a mandatory browser homepage across the company so everyone would use it to prevent their browser from starting up quickly.
Another typical use of Sharepoint is to let people escape from reality for a moment, thanks to its permissions/roles/ownership configuration. Venture into those site settings pages and you'll forget all about the argument you had with your wife during breakfast. Pure magic.
Read the book. To this day Adria Richards still blame the guy who got fired, she says that her life became difficult because he dared announce publicly that he had been fired following this incident.
The guy made ONE FUCKING comment on Reddit. She went on TV, radio, social media, even made money with her blog and her conferences discussing this incident.
All of this for a bad taste joke that wasn't even intended for her, for which the guy apologized but that she nonetheless decided to very publicly denounce. She didn't even talk to him, she took this beef on the social media.
The mob was not the guilty party in this case. She is 100% to blame because she used the social media to ruin someone's life and it backfired, ruining hers as well.
It's a stupid tweet, but what's the big deal? If it were a dude saying it, you'd pass it off as another annoying Apple fan-boy. But because it's a women, you suggest she should change professions.
You're so busy getting your panties in a bunch over nonexistent sexist undertone that you can't fucking read what's ACTUALLY in the post. I never said she should change job, there's not even a retarded interpretation of my statement that could be construed as saying that.
Using a Windows machine should be considered Cruel and Unusual Punishment.
More seriously, using an OS/application/whatever that one isn't used to or familiar with that works in a way that one isn't accustomed to can cause frustrations that lead to stress and mental exhaustion.
Haven't you ever figuratively "fried your brain" trying to diagnose/fix some problem? This is the same thing.
I once spent a week using a crippled desktop that had only the serial port and the keyboard as a way to exchange data with the outside world, and it was running a dated CDE stuck in German or Dutch. I managed to do my job and I complained less than that poor little girl who had to OMG use Windows.
Being inclusive is not a pre-requisite or a moral obligation. Being inclusive is a game that people with too much time and money on their hands play because they're too afraid to tackle real social problems (like homeless people who live in terrible conditions or ISIS sympathizers who open fire in large crowds).
If you decide to play the inclusive game when you don't have time and money, you'll lose.
Did you see the "Personal Life" section in the wikipedia article. Her husband, besides being a terrible businessman and suing people over racial allegations, used to be married to a guy, for 10 years.
I don't know what, as a society, we've done wrong to make this kind of couple possible.
Correction: he should be fired quietly and he should not make a tweet or post a single comment on Reddit to report it.
We don't want to repeat the Donglegate incident where Adria Richards, after being psychologically raped by a private discussion made behind her in a room full of 300 people, was victimized a second time by people who unfairly called her a cunt for getting a guy fired over such bullshit.

Day three of using a Windows machine: was totally mentally exhausted last night, dreaded work this morning. Struggling to do small things.
