That's pain I don't intentionally inflict on myself. Where useful, I'll ssh to the host, and run screen there. But it is rarely worthwhile these days. Get a process.
Cisco is just trying to create confusion between themselves and Sysco, the food service company. People will hear about connected cows, think about how great an investment food service is these days, and accidentally buy Cisco stock.
In Japan, kids rarely get to see their fathers at all. At best, once a week. At worst, he lives in a different apartment close to work, and work is his family. Especially "successful" ones.
In China, I figure they'd just save the additional step, and sleep, work and eat right at the factory.
It's the "being a cog in a machine without hierarchy" mindset, that they wrongly associate with communism. (China is not communist. Because if you look it up, the whole point of communism is self-sufficient communes with no central leadership. *Very* overlapping with US libertarianism.)
This reminds me of a Japanese family that spent a couple years in my city before returning to Japan. They had two daughters. Unless the father was at work, both parents were with them at all times. Always ready to jump and provide whatever their children needed. Always providing supervision, but without denying them anything that they asked for. Loving, devoted parents, dedicated day and night to their daughters' growth and happiness. And they took an interest in chess while they were here, so the parents were stuck hanging out in coffee shops until late at night. Their eyelids would droop, but they would never complain, or fail to jump and find refreshments when needed. They would not get tired and forget to keep their daughters in view. They would not get weary and forget to smile and explain patiently when their daughters had a weird question.
Japanese people have a strong sense of honor. If you have a type of job that requires it, you might be expected to make huge sacrifices. However, that tells you nothing about the underlying cultural attitudes and what is considered a sacrifice, or what is considered normative.
If you think Japanese people value being a cog, you're probably an idiot. If you think Japanese culture is relevant to a discussion of the business culture in China, you're definitely an idiot.
The average Japanese worker works less hours per year than the average American worker. The reason that they "only have one day off per week; if they're lucky" is that they use a different way of measuring the week. Those types of phrases refer to a "normal week," without any national holidays. The western method of measuring is to average all the weeks. So Americans might have a "5 day work week," and Japanese have a "6 day work week," but the Americans have more work days per year because there are only a few holidays, and the Japanese have a huge number of mandatory holidays. They have "a 6 day work week," but there are relatively fewer full weeks.
When a Japanese father only sees his kids once a week, he's probably trying to get a promotion because he's worried about paying for his kids' college in the future. Same thing as in the US, except here we have more roads so people can suffer a longer commute and sleep in their own bed, but still not see their kids much. Plus, here the parents can just tell the kids to take out loans; the parents don't have to pay just to make sure the kids can get access.
Yes, but a worker who cares about their work will accidentally think about it when not at work. If those thoughts are useful, that was some free overtime in the context you replied to.
Or for example, when I was young and worked at a mill they had a rule, once you clock out for your shift, you can't clock back in. They had old time cards with a time clock that printed the times in ink, and extra lines made it harder for their supervisors. (It isn't like the boss went to college, or something) So if I get to the front door and realize I forgot to put a tool on the correct hook, I'd walk back and replace it. That's multiple minutes of my time, in excess of what was agreed to, presumptively even in violation of some policy about not working unless you're clocked in, and yet, it is still the Right Thing To Do(TM) not only because the boss of the next shift might complain to my boss, but simply out of respect for the workers on the next shift.
As a software developer, I'm not going to refuse to take down a note if I accidentally have an idea at an inconvenient time; and I'm also not going to charge a minimum amount of billable time for 30 seconds of note taking while otherwise engaged in recreation.
If you really want to be pedantic about the details, you have to take it to the next level (as I generally do) and refuse to accept any contract that pays based on time, and only accept pay based on completed work. And then there is no such thing as overtime.
This is the part people are missing; this is a score of the trustworthiness of the transaction, not the trustworthiness of the person.
The trustworthiness of the person is already tracked more closely by the banking industry in your Credit Score. The only thing that makes this a story is the word "trustworthiness" and the existence of China's new social credit system, which also features a word that translates to "trustworthiness." That's it, that's the whole thing.
When I had bogus charges on my CC a few years back, they looked at these same records and determined that it was most likely that I was a victim of fraud, and they removed the charges. I've never had a transaction denied. And I use all the ad blockers, JS blockers, etc. etc. That said, I do not make my traffic appear to come from a different legal jurisdiction; I want to do my banking here, where I am, where I am protected by local laws.
Using a CC is a little bit creepy, but not because of fraud protection; because of transaction history generally.
these are standard anti-fraud measures banks have been doing for decades. The fact the OP just discovered how banking works doesn't make it some vast invasion of privacy.
Being extant does not imply that it is not an invasion of privacy. That is really weak logic. It isn't new. That's all you demonstrate; your point has nothing to do with privacy.
That said, for people who already know what fraud prevention is, there is nothing here and you already made a decision about the privacy aspects. But for people who wonder why they need to tell their bank before they travel if they're planning to use their card overseas, now they know why.
For people who solve the problem by rejecting change so that they can continue to use familiar paradigms, the solution turns out to be very easy. Do nothing.
Nobody cares that YOU like x package manager over y. Its irrelevant. You aren't more or less linux than anyone else.
That's the whole point of the exercise! Every doing it gets their way already. They don't have to agree, they're not asking for something! They already have it. People who want them to change are misguided, and should make their own choices, and then it won't matter what anybody else does for them, too.
There was a time when I decided I was done running windows, and I didn't really know what the options were, so first I installed OS/2. I'd heard so many great things about it, I was really really excited. When I finally got to use it, I did a roflcopter right out the door.
The next day I paid $5 for a magazine at the bookstore that had a slackware CD glued to the cover. Now that is what I was looking for.
I was absolutely sure that "everybody" was already either using XFCE, or they switched to a Mac.
But then, I use OfBiz for bookkeeping, and the interface runs in a browser over the intranet.
Are you sure people actually want Outlook? Quickbooks I can believe; a lot of people use a spreadsheet for that, so of course they dream of whatever tools is advertised in the magazine.
If I'm doing something new, systemd is a huge improvement. You have to use CI anyways, so there is no possible benefit from not compiling in a modern workflow.
But I really like the way distros are implementing it. First all the new startup stuff runs, then the old scripts run. Perfect. I don't have to change anything that already exists.
It was always a huge weakness that you had to leave a process running to listen for every rare connection that you want to support. Now you can start things up when the first connection comes in, totally smooth. Some change at the core interface between the OS and userspace was needed, but hopefully now that portion will be stable for decades.
If the price of choice is that a few shortcuts don't get installed, or that somebody in the house needs to learn how the computers work, to me that seems like a great deal.
One thing I love about Linux is that none of the people who disagree had to use it anyways. So they basically don't exist to me.
With Windows, a lot of people say that they feel like they "have to" use it, because of [some disputed reason]. So they expect things to work, but they don't expect to get a say in exactly how it works. So it is a very different user experience.
I use XFCE on all my computers, since the early days of Gnome 3.
I love it. And bless it, for it has never changed and has continued to work well. Software perfection.
I don't use desktop icons. I use a full width bottom bar with a menu in the corner. Focus follows mouse. 10 virtual desktops. Many instances of xterm.
My wife uses it and she probably doesn't even know it. Or what OS is running. That's another part of software perfection; users who don't care don't even know about it, they only know about their applications.
Change is great when a tool doesn't work right, but it is often toxic when the tool already works.
It doesn't take bribes. In my community, there are no big companies with bribes, but the local R's always want to make it rain cash on any business that already is profitable and doesn't need it. They'll create "special economic zones" with tax giveaways even when nobody promises to create a single job, and no big companies even want to move in! They don't even resort to the "jobs" nonsense unless their proposal encounters resistance.
On principle, they support giving money away to anybody already well-off.
You Republicans are always saying taxes scare business, the businesses aren't even paying shit for taxes. 40 years ago businesses and individuals each paid about 50% of State taxes, individuals now pay over 90% of State taxes. Their total tax load is almost non-existent. Just because they're still whining does not imply that it is actually something that effects the numbers, or that they would pull an Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged and go on strike by refusing to participate in the economy. In reality they're not going to hold their breath and stamp their feet and close their business, because paying an equal share of local taxes is actually good for the economy.
Every tax, the Republicans say it will be the end of the world and businesses will leave if you do it. In "blue states" when we pass taxes, the sky doesn't fall. And yet, you still repeat the lame bullshit.
They told us if we set the minimum wage to $10 all the restaurants would go out of business. It turns out that a disproportionate number of restaurant workers spend their pay eating out at other restaurants! So instead of restaurants going out of business, and only the rich being able to eat out, instead the whole restaurant industry experienced increased demand and increased profits.

Change, what a terrible idea.
And without even an apparent use case.

You don't seem to have a firm grasp on the scale of a cattle ranch or dairy. 10 kms, might as well just run a string between some cans.

And yet you describe him as a jerk who values money more than his family. Pathetic.

Ah yes the evil caricature with the cigar
Nobody gives a rat's ass what he is smoking, Ivan.
Did you warn your bank that you would be traveling to Thailand, and give them dates?
If I traveled to Asia without telling my bank, I'm quite sure the same thing would happen.
what they're really looking at is how good a customer you are.
Horse shit, that's called your Credit Score.
the CVV2 code (the four digits on the back of the card).
Found the one person who uses Mastercard.
In the real world it is a 3 digit code. 4 digits is only Mastercard or non-visa debit cards.

Begging for volunteers is bad enough, but don't tell people to stop doing other things so they can come help you out. Yikes.

It works great for idiots too if they have a nerd to install new stuff.
If you don't know how it works, and you don't know what "root" means, that's a pretty darn well padded room.
There are college students that advertise in the weekly newspaper that will come by and fix it for you in the evening for $35/hr. (1 hr minimum)
Personally, I hate most things SysV.
But that said, I do have some old init scripts.

SJWs are people like Gandhi, AoC, Siddhartha, Mother Teresa, Moses, Rosa Parks, MLK.
