Saying “it sucks” is like saying “SAP sucks”. Whatever system you get out of one of these projects is 99% dependent on the project team (on both sides), and 1% on the product base, which is invariably “meh”

I very much doubt it’s the software vendor who has chosen to implement the automatic logout after a minute. Most probably someone wrote that down in a requirement because that’s how the previous system worked or that’s what they saw on the

It’s the reality for anyone doing “IT”, whatever the domain. Travel, banking, hospitals, police, social security etc ad nauseam

If the new EMR (or any other IT system) doesn’t look exactly like the old one, everyone will drag their feet switching to it
215.
by namdnay 3y ago
The reality is much more mundane. If they don’t implement that poorly worded requirement, they are entering a world of pain of having to justify the deviation through 10 layers of project managers and qa, all from different organisations (e

Depends on how grippy the tires are and how you drive

What do they put on Teslas where you are? In Europe they put SportContacts, those are performance tires and obviously wear down faster than your standard PremiumContact or equivalent.

by namdnay 3y ago
If they’re reasonably soft semi-performance tyres the figure doesn’t seem surprising

that's a random fraud check, it's usually about 10-20% of the time? i'm surprised by the bill though, are you sure it wasn't due to discounts or something? usually they just scan 5-10 items (and will try to scan the most

but don't they charge body repairs back to customers with juicy markups? i thought that was a core part of the car rental business model

my Polestar experience was great, except for the fact that for a car that has the dimensions of an SUV, the tiny windscreen and windows made it feel a bit claustrophobic, like being in a sports sedan
223.

I rented a polestar from hertz uk for a summer holiday, it was wonderful. i just let it charge overnight on the mains socket of the cottage, which gave me 200 miles a day, more than enough for a family holiday

No what I mean is that it won’t even be in their org. The public website will belong to the head of corporate communications or some similar chief bullshit officer
225.
by namdnay 3y ago
that's a bit unfair, I think it's pretty important that it has real world consequences. nobody knows what Chattr is and who their users are
226.
by namdnay 3y ago
I very much doubt it's got anything to do with their CTO - the management of a corporate website is usually jealously guarded by marketing/corporate communications
227.
by namdnay 3y ago
the clients are public companies, and in the contracts they've signed with Chattr there will definitely be a clause that Chattr has to disclose everything to their clients, so that they themselves can raise to the markets

I think the costs given in the article are for a whole house (including "ducting" which is more rare in europe)

Fair enough

in that case it's an argument for getting the name change done properly right from the start, right? i don't think having a different name on your mastercard is a solution here (especially since choosing "mx" as a prefix

really? do they still copy the details with a carbon machine? here they'll just ask you to put it in the chip&pin machine and authorise the deposit

i thought the minor discomfort being referred to was that of changing your name and reissuing a new ID card. i can definitely understand how it would get grating to explain the change at every security check

how do they do it for contactless?
234.
by namdnay 3y ago
Not living in north america, there's something i must be missing - who looks at the name on a credit card? who even touches your credit card anymore? in europe and uk you're either contactless or you're given the terminal to

If they do that let's retaliate by prefacing all episodes of Neighbours with "WARNING: This show depicts fictitious worlds where it's not raining 300 days a year. We remind you to stay indoors and stay dry.”

having specific breeds and colours for each family makes it a lot easier to track what's going on. for the same reasons that peppa pig doesn't have 8 different types of big cats

What I always say is that McDonalds have laminated recipes pinned to the wall. A Michelin starred restaurant doesn't. Both of these are good processes

so I just checked up on this and it's not exactly true. it may be built in china, but it's a joint design, built on the CMF platform like all dacias
