We went from partial remote to full remote with zero issues. Our team was half or more remote by the time of the transition. Everyone worked remotely at least part of the time before the switch. We already had remote processes in place. Fra

To call a cartoon racist based on a minor character that barely appears in some episodes is ridiculous. Just about every show back then that had non white people was racist. The whole society was racist, just as it is now. Frankly, it'

Why not take microsoft.com then in the same way. One could argue the software there has led to a ton of criminal activity. Since we've now decided that private property laws don't matter anymore, then this domain should be blocked

Credit card issuers also kick back millions to politicians to keep this status quo. In most places in Europe, this would be called bribery and corruption. To us, it's just lobbying. But a rose by any other name ...

It's not on display at BestBuy or anywhere else that I know of. But you're saying I should just buy any old piece of garbage or else I'm entitled? I don't think you understand the meaning of the word "entitled"

Why don't you take your own advice. The dealer clearly paid for it and the buyer paid for it from the dealer. > When the dealer bought the car at auction from Tesla on November 15, it was optioned with both Enhanced Autopilot and Te

However if you don't like the Dell and it's not defective, they can charge a 15% restocking fee. That could be hundreds old dollars for a top of the line xps 15. For me, this is a deal breaker. There is nowhere to test the machine

They are refusing to refund it. Yes, I can charge back and will. But I was referring to what can I do in response to Lenovo. There is a law but it's useless. So I just get fucked over with no recourse. I can't sue then and the ftc

Surprised why? Companies do illegal shit all the time and get away with it. Just recently Lenovo did not cancel my order for a p1 laptop after almost two months, way longer than the 30 days of their estimate and allowed buy federal law. Wha

That's beyond fucked up. This essentially guarantees no market for second hand Teslas in the future. It was already questionable with the battery situation whether these cars would sell on the used market after say $100k miles or whate

How often do they release major versions? It seems every few months there's a new major version update. Having been burned once with angular, combined with this aggressive release schedule, by themselves are enough to make me not even

Both Lenovo and Apple offer this, so yeah I believe that because the competition offers it and frankly is the standard for a product that can only be ordered online. That doesn't make me entitled, it just makes me a picky shopper. And

Great video. But he says the exact same thing I did. The MCAS is necessary because of the different engine placement. So the airplane cannot recover from a stall without it. That, to me, makes the entire airplane unstable and improper for c

Seriously. It's not just the environment. Most businesses discourage productivity by not rewarding it with raises, promotions, bonuses, stock or similar. In that case, it makes sense to be the least productive as possible. The less you

$450 (15%) plus $270 (9% tax... can't imagine why they would keep the tax or even if it's legal but that's what their policy says) equals $720. The tax is just under 9% but I rounded up. Maybe it's reliable, maybe it

I'd rather see criminal penalties for execs who commit such actions. A good example is Boeing's CEO. He's the one whose policies led to the unnecessary death of 300+. He knew what he was doing and instead of a golden parachut
