I guess you were way ahead at the age of 18. I had no clue how the workplace works so I got a degree which then got me started. For me that was a good decision.

When I was 18 i could not have figured out how to approach this. And i had nobody who could have told me what to do. Getting a degree is still the safe option. In addition at least in The big companies I know having no degree is pretty much

“Now, if the church took someone accused as a child abuser (that somehow the law neglected to convict) and moved them in another country in a church position they still work with children, then sure, we can condemn the church authorities.”

Would be nice if it were easier to get that info. Our MS reps never mentioned this.

Doesn’t that support only UWP store apps?

We do all of that. It’s still a big mess that’s very hard to control.

We do use LTSC (against strong advice from our MS rep who pushed semi annual). It’s still a pain to deal with.

The medical device is basically a WPF app. There are a lot of similar ones on the market. The whole effort got started during windows XP time and back then windows made sense. Now with windows 10 you spend a lot of effort locking down featu

My company runs a medical device on windows. We have to control configuration tightly. Windows 10 is already out of control but they seem to be hell bent on making it worse. Time to jump ship I always tell management but the MS reps are ver

If you don’t have a college degree your choices of companies who are willing to even talk to you for a well paying job is very small.

Not all of them have their own thriving businesses. The people working for electrician companies probably don’t make six figure.

It’s also quite difficult to predict the job market for the next few decades.

they were very bad and should have been prosecuted more aggressively no doubt. But they didn’t show a repeated behavior over decades of covering up abuse or transferring guilty employees to other cities or countries. The behavior of the chu

Are you saying that if you ran a secular child care facility and found out that employees abused children, you then transferred these employees to other facilities or internationally, you would not be in jail and your child care facility wo

What’s your point other than being defensive?

No. What I am saying is that the Catholic Church should have been shut down or forced to clean up their act. And other churches who do bad stuff should be treated like secular organizations who do bad stuff. Right now if you call yourself a

They are tax deductible and also probably get subsidies from municipalities.

One thing that bothers me is that churches still get special status. When you look at the Catholic Church it’s pretty much guaranteed that any other organization would have been shut down a long time ago if it had shown the same behavior in

That's how it's usually used.

My point was that a lot of people decide to play along with this stuff. This is not limited to uneducated people.

Don't be arrogant. A lot of "smart" people would go along as well.

Their bread is crap mostly too though.

I always find it amazing how easy it is for governments to find people who will commit atrocities for them. This should be a warning for us thinking “I would never do this”. Most of us probably would go along

It seems a lot of US good is designed for easy handling and addictiveness. There is no concern for purity.

The ratings agencies should be a warning here. Whatever you do you need to make sure some rules are set and followed. Otherwise money slowly will erode trustworthiness. And there is a lot of money in pushing out bad products.

I always look at the ingredients list of bread in the US and I am always surprised how long the list is. Why do they put so much stuff (and always sugar or syrup) into any bread?

I guess that’s the current form of advertising. It tries to create demand where there has been none before. You could also imagine advertising that tries to address your actual needs. Unfortunately that probably would make a much smaller ma
