The point is that having near or below 0 rates has been a terrible policy for almost everyone, just as increasing them in response to inflation is going to hit most people hard now.

A problem has been kicked down the road for years, it was always going to blow up in our faces.

I think you might be missing parent comment's point. The way I read it they aren't saying that old code is better, just that you used built everything up from scratch generally (or to a much greater extent than nowadays) instead of using whatever framework is in fashion this week

>The unstated is that the core problem here (lack of USB2 on a USB3 connector) is _NOT_ standard.

It does say this at the end of the article.

Exactly, it's an overt message that what you say is being watched, so watch what you say.

>Your manager should of deflected this sort of stuff

Also keep in mind that there is a good chance the manager might have had OPs back in all this, maybe it's just the managers boss who has unreasonable expectations (maybe due to poor communication from the manager about changing requirements etc).

It's not just farmers. It was done away with in the UK for 3 years back in the late 60s and people hated it.

There are 2 options, either going with summer time permanently which seems the most sensible approach in theory and what they did with the British Summer time experiment. The problem is that although having longer evenings in winter sounds good in theory it means that it's dark until 10am in the depths of winter and roads are icier when people are making their morning commute.

The other option is to keep standard time, but that will mean losing the late evenings in summer and the sun rising even earlier which would be a loss.

I don't see what the big issue people have with it is. It makes perfect sense for northern/southern latitudes and essentially all my clocks adjust themselves automatically.

We do have digital certs in Europe (as mentioned in other comments). I don't know why the article mentions Europe, the cards aren't used to check vaccination here.

That's something I like about array languages too, and Lisp is similar from what I know of it. Essentially defining a DSL for the problem and then working with it.

I would imagine they are anchored to the seabed the same way floating oil rigs are.

You clearly didn't read the review. They say it is only for models sold through Amazon

Ah, well that explains the clickbaity title, which is all most comments here are discussing at face value.

> there would not be a single functioning nation on earth

Holy hyperbole, Batman.

No, it would just mean that there would be a homogeneous corporate tax system, which is what people seem to always argue for.

'Parasites' is also a ridiculous description.

You seem to have a very strange definition of theft. Other countries are perfectly entitled to do similarly, as Netherlands does.

Why is there not a focus on countries such as Bermuda here? They are the "tax havens" who make this possible in the first place.

Windows drives me mad with this stuff any time I have to use it.

I'm baffled by people still claiming "desktop Linux hasn't arrived" when they put up with this shit.

Linux desktop has been perfectly fine for at least 1.5 of those decades.

Is it standard practice to tweet about it when launching a nuclear attack?

Or use tabbed/fullscreen/custom views.

The GP comment is so backwards that I wonder if they even used a tiling wm for any period of time longer than a day or two. Tiling window managers are better at managing many windows than having them all scattered randomly over a desktop with a traditional window manager.

For that use case definitely, though a law change is a bit of an edge case.

For stamping times like in a log though UTC should always be used server side.
