Yet, you can just get your current employees on a room, and tell them to stop doing those actions that won't increase the bottom line, and start doing those ones that do.

Obviously, people have different talents, and can't do equally well any task you ask them. But I really doubt Twitter even tried. No company tries. More likely they froze their employees tasks beforehand so they could be better evaluated.
Which is about a month's rent for it.

I know that is what drove me away.

Most just want a window manager for xterms.

Designers get bashed because they don't know what people want.

Performance on GUIs gets bashed, because what matters is doing xterms over remote X connections.
It does seem nicer to ask after, but then again, 99% of us simply close the tab after the download starts. We just do it automatically.
I really wish someone would start a paid OS based on Linux and OSS tools. I'd happily pay $100/y (year being, new versions/etc) for a stable and awesome UI/UX.

As it is, my Macbook Pro Retina has been crashing a lot and doing weird things frequently since i upgraded to Sierra. Between that and the latest Macbook Pro notebooks, i just don't like Apple anymore. I'm pretty set on buying a highend laptop _(similar build quality to Apple)_ and putting Linux on it... but that's where the fun stops. Linux UIs tend to lag behind significantly.

I want a for-profit UI company working on a Linux UI. OSS just can't compete with Apple on design it seems.. and in my opinion, users shouldn't have to choose between OSS and pretty design.

It's bad enough that if/when i leave OSX, i lose a lot of my apps due to them not supporting (or not supporting competently) Linux, but losing apps and UX.. well, it's a tough pill to swallow.
Yes, I totally messed up by not explaining the scenarios, so here's two I can think of:

- Someone naively sets up error reporting that takes the POST data and logs it somewhere. Employees can now see the passwords from POST data and impersonate each other, or in an even worse case, a vulnerability with the error reporting software can leak the passwords to the public.

- Employees will just leak their own passwords like any human would. LDAP locks you into using one password for everything, making this a much larger risk.
Well, you've got this amazing compiler that just likes to change things you write, they're known as politicians :P
If you have no money even to pay the property taxes, what money do you have to even improve the economy with that property? Should we praise that the lands just stay there with no output?

Property taxes have this interesting economic plus side: It stops being profitable to just amass wealth, instead, you have to use it to create wealth in order to keep it.

Also, unlike what people in the comments are trying to make of it, countries high property taxes in EU are in good economic condition, like Luxembourg and the UK where they are respectively 1.5x and 2x what they are in Greece. In fact all the countries with high property taxes from OECD are amongst the top economic performers of OECD.

https://data.oecd.org/tax/tax-on-property.htm

It should be clear just from that, that there is absolutely no correlation between high property taxes and a bad economy.
The other problem is that the Economists who try to control it and debug it are terrible at understanding it. Every countries economy is subtly different, but they have a one size fits nobody, and doesn´t even have the right number of sleeves approach to it.

For example, Greece.

http://www.tradingeconomics.com/greece/money-supply-m3

Expand it out to the max - this is an old style, US Great Depression monetary collapse. Their money supply has dropped by about a third since 2009. Some of that is loan write-offs, a lot of it is money being withdrawn from the country, either by rich people who want their money in safer banks, or as debt repayments to european banks. Cost of being in the Euro, very hard to stop this.

Knowing that the money supply has dropped by 1/3, we also know that the lending supply has dropped by 1/3, loans create money etc. Knowing that credit influences prices, we know that property prices are dropping through the floor. Knowing all that, we also know that tax revenue has dropped, because there´s less money circulating to be taxed. (Well, it´s a bit more complex than that but not much.)

The big issue in this kind of monetary collapse is very simple. In a market based economy, most prices can adjust to changes in the money supply and production over time. The one exception is debt, which keeps its coupon value until people default.

Revalue Greece debt though, and there goes a whole bunch of European banks with greek debt on their books, and a GFC style cascade failure to who knows where in the system.

It probably could still all be sorted out if we put some decent computer scientists on the case, but I certainly don´t expect the economists to get there in time.

So I guess Greece will just have to invade Germany.

I was a vegan for five years. I was also into bodybuilding for a couple of years. For unrelated reasons(?), I have leaky gut now.

What I've learned is: fasting is good for you. Fatty meat and seafood is good for you. Mushrooms are good for you.

Root type veggies are the best, except for potatoes. Fuck you potatoes I miss you. Avoid juice and sofa, just eat fruit.

Dairy, eggs, and grains can be a grey area. They are likely best in moderation even if you seem to tolerate them well.

Disclaimer - never owned a gun, in fact never shot a proper one. The problem, among others, is definition what is assault rifle and what not. Military laughs at this definition coming from politicians, you can perform deadly assault with pencil, bow or a brick.

Is it ammo type? (ie 5.56 or .308 - but these are also common hunting calibers). Is it magazine capacity? - this can be cheated around super easily, especially if you prepare something nefarious. Full automats aren't sold anyway. Is it shape of the weapon? Now we left the land of facts and walking in the emotional wonderland. We can do better.

It's like some voices here in Switzerland stating military home-held guns should be banned because some people commit suicide with them. Yeah, let's forget the core suicidal issue and remove the tool, that will surely stop them, right?

Guns don't kill people (and don't get sentenced for that), people pull triggers and kill other people. But that's much harder to fix, so let's find some easy scapegoat, right?
Just so I'm clear, you are claiming that the finance ministers are purposely rigging things so that Greece will fail -- that all those loans and such were part of a plan to make an example out of them.

First I've heard of this, but I haven't been following it. It sounds quite far-fetched though. I must be missing something.

I'm amazed people are hanging on after four months without a paycheck.

The tax would amount to about a month (or two) of rent, if the property was rented.

The problem is with properties that are not rented long term.

Everyone has questions for their team members, including remote devs. It is just a matter of getting used to asking them via different tools. For small, non-time sensitive questions, email still works. But frequently, we'll get on google hangouts with each other and spend 30 minutes or so not only answering the immediate questions, but chatting in general, about work and more. It is part of what keeps us working well as a team, and not turning into individual remote silos.
To be fair, so does elementaryOS. They really try to encourage developers to adopt their HIG.[1]

So much so that most developers using or targeting elementaryOS integrate their design really well.[2] For those that don't but still use GTK3, they also integrate quite well out of the box.

The current Greek government doesn't seem to want anything other than line their pockets. They've gone back on every single big promise they made before getting elected, and are spreading lies and propaganda to try and keep their positions, even while being wildly unpopular.

Stop defending Apple using the RAM myths floating around. If Dell XPS 15 with 32GB DDR4 ram that's also thin and light can manage 5 hours battery life with a 56Whr battery, Windows, and HQ series intel processors, there's no reason Apple couldn't manage more.

Also, the 1.2v SO-DIMM DDR4 ram vs 1.2v LPDDR3 they used have close power consumption.
Oh Apricity looks really nice. Might have to check that one out. Love Arch way more than Deb based distros.
This is actually fine by me: if you want to pay me to do nothing, that's fine -- I'll just look at it as conditional severance. As an employer, you should know that I'll be using the time to look for other jobs on my phone though.
From what I've seen it's been getting much better. Linux has very powerful tools for media creation/editing now: Blender, Krita, Darktable, Natron are some quality apps that I'm aware of.

Companies are too cautious, too much in denial. The first cut is like a surgeon trainee making his first incision: too little, too late. Then comes the bigger cut, but its still not enough. Of course its not enough; by now the executives (who don't know what to do, who caused the mess and should be the first to go) have latched on to layoffs as the panacea to bring back the good times, the fruits of which they enjoyed but never understood. Layoffs can be necessary in a company, but they only work in conjunction with other actions, carefully managed together by leadership with vision and courage. I've watched executives argue over laying off a man that was costing them $5.00 per hour (and cleaning their bathrooms), but ignore everyone around the management meeting table.

It's more likely that there are objective ways to measure subjective experiences, and that in the next century of progress in fields such as neuroscience, that's just what will happen. Again, playing in the gaps isn't as impressive when those gaps are slowly, yet inevitably closing. That's the story of the last 150 years, and the slow fall of philosophy.
Apple's trying to limit it's currency downside risk. Clearly they think the pound has further to slide.
The article gets some stuff wrong.

1. Though macbook pro battery capacity has been reduced to 76Wh, he still attributes not adding more RAM to 100Wh ceiling by FAA

2. States that only laptops with 32GB is as heavy as 17 pounds and bulky. But Dell XPS 15 comes with 32 GB and weighs only 4.5 pounds. https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Dell-XP...

3. Dell XPS 15 comes with 1 USB-C, 2 USB-3.0 ports, HDMI and SD card reader and thus don't need dongles and is reasonably slim.

Seriously, if Apple had released something like XPS-15 in features, there would have been no criticism.
One of the comments on the article claims there's 0% tax up to 200k property value. Is this incorrect?
I mean, sure - the design is pretty, but OSX has been terrible for me quality wise. I know what you mean about pretty, but currently i'm feeling like i need to pick between pretty (OSX) and stable (Linux).

Worse yet, is if i pick a stable variety of Linux, it's likely to not be pretty. The pretty Linux OSs (in my experience) tend to be at least as unstable as OSX. Ugh.

(Note: I upgraded to Sierra, crash or have weird crap happen ~4times a week)

edit: Why the downvote? Note that i explicitly stated this was my experience. Furthermore, i had the same experience when my Macbook Pro Retina was new, and came with OSX Mavericks. Both Mavericks and Sierra have gave me the impression that Apple releases unstable OSs for major versions, and need time to make it stable again.
This is what happens when you allow uncontrolled and unregulated asset transfers. There's a reason that pretty much any index/stock in the world freezes when the daily drop exceeds a certain threshold (i.e. Japan, JPX, has a limit of usually ~7% [1]).

This prevents panic selling and even though seems like a "delaying-the-inevitable-drop" cop-out, it really does work.

Greece Government are stupid as hell for letting everybody sell their homes all at once. Mass selling off in a region will just cause the housing market to death spiral, just like it does with stocks.

> It is not daily fear of AQ that has Muslims wearing their religiously proscribed clothes.... it is honoring their religion.

You misunderstood my message which was quite clear. There is a strong us VS them mentality among Muslims in the west today which wasn't the case 20 years ago. It doesn't have anything to do with KSA pushing for Salafi, it has everything to do with 9/11.

Some examples of inheritance would be either old houses at the village or small olive groves.

Many old houses at the village are derelict and the small olive groves have little financial value.
The olive groves are generally small because they have been divided among the children through the generations. If an olive grove is not tended for 5-10 years, it becomes unusable and costly to fix.
I don't know, all I see is a goverment that tries to perpetuate the old system, only with their people in place. The recent TV spectrum fiasco is a good example. A SYRIZA-friendly construction mogul got a large loan to bid on a license, with no real guarantees except from a pasture whose ownership wasn't even clear. The subsequent findings showed that the bank essentially gave him "free" loans ever since SYRIZA came into power and put their people into various positions in the bank.

The entire system is fucked, and I would consider booting everyone out of the parliament and becoming an EU protectorate a better option for the future of Greece, austerity or no austerity.
