If you have a valid medical reason not to vaccinate, then you are exempt from the mandate. Otherwise, you put yourself and every person you interact with in danger, in special those who can't vaccinate for valid medical reasons. Right now, a large part of the hospital resources dedicated to COVID are being used on non-vaccinated, taking those resources away from others who don't have COVID but still need a hospital
I suspect the reviewer, and your comment, and probably the author, are wrong to broadly characterize burnout as something that we encounter as "achievement-subjects" but not as "obedience-subjects", or as you put it, because we "strive for achievement." While some may burn out working too hard with the idea they will achieve by doing so, surely many others are burned out by being over-worked at a tough job, with an unsympathetic boss, a "death march" culture promising career advancement that never comes, and what-have-you.
When I had to go through that about 7-8 years ago, actually on behalf of a boss of mine who couldn't be bothered sitting through the whole thing, it took a full 15 minutes.

I will continue to bring it up when I can, no matter if they change their ways.
The problem with that is that you still have a valid contract, some companies will ding your credit rating and still pursue you for the money.
Does it? I'm having the same issue

Hi, I hope this doesn't come across as me not respecting your tiredness but could you link or anything to best practices if you don't have the energy to write it out yourself?
How could it not invalidate the contract? Services are provided after payment is made. If no payment is made, no service is provided.
Because if that stuff helps them they do not have depression, but they are experiencing sadness. They are not the same but everyone in this thread is treating it the same.

Not that it’s a big market but Amazon Singapore had also added a fee to visa transactions starting last month.

I assume Amazon tried to leverage the tens of billions in purchases (across regions) to get a better fee structure from Visa and Visa said “no”.

No different than Costco dropping their long-standing Amex agreement in favor of Visa in the US a fewer years back.

“Kill the chickens to teach the monkeys” as they say in Singapore.

Now other companies know Visa is willing to tell the likes of Amazon “no”. Lesser companies won’t even ask.
Another UK credit card user chiming in. I hardly ever use my debit card.
I am so happy to have switched to Pop OS around two years ago. I’ve just become completely immune to random updates, shutdowns, and all evil Microsoft news.

I never quite understood what kind of difference it makes, but my computer feels like it’s my own again.

Anyway, on topic, yeah, eventually they’ll get antitrust slapped again.
Microsoft is very consistent in aggressively promoting their own stuff at every turn. Ever noticed how the "what application you wanna use for this file type?" dialog pop ups every time any application is installed that can handle that type? Ever noticed how this dialog always has Microsoft's option at the top of the list? Ever noticed this dialog pops up after some updates because the Microsoft option has been updated so it's a Totally New Experience that You Really Ought To Try Now? Ever noticed how every few months you'll get a giant screen filling modal pop-up on login telling you to create a Microsoft account Right Now or Else? Ever noticed how Windows 10 shows a full-screen "Leave everything to us" banner during installation? Ever noticed the FOMO ads on the lock screen ("Windows brings you closer to what you love in life", "Don't miss any European soccer!")? Ever noticed the cringy "Just one more thing" and "Let's get you set up" system modals? Ever noticed how you have to lie to the setup wizard in order to not have a Microsoft account ("I don't have internet")?

The entire messaging of this OS is dystopian corpo garbage and then people are shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that it's a monopolistic shitpile kicking your civil rights in the nuts at every turn.
Apple Pay is just a one-time payment authorization mechanism; it does not keep track of subscriptions and doesn't have a way to cancel them. You may have been confused with App Store subscriptions which are mediated by Apple (and they take a cut) and do allow you to cancel there.
I my home country the law says that you must be allowed to unsubscribe the same way you subscribed. Which makes sense.

> Do they really expect people who go through the effort of installing a third party browser and setting it as default to switch back to Edge because of the grand experience they had with it when Windows opened some help article in it?

No they don't, otherwise they wouldn't be trying to undermine the whole concept of "default browser" like this.

I think what they expect is that those people will keep using Edge "on accident" - because various bits of essential OS chrome will just keep opening it, no matter what.

After some time, those users will grow tired of manually copy-pasting the link into Firefox or whatever and just keep using Edge for those tasks.

Never underestimate the power of friction.
> And for purchases under £100, credit cards offer no additional protection whatsoever, so for my daily shopping I'd just be making my life more difficult for no reason.

They offer better protection against fraudulent charges though? If your card gets skimmed it doesn't matter whether you were paying £5 or £5000.

You don't have to "build" anything. Just have a button "cancel subscription" with a mailto: link... or even some text saying "email us at @ from your account and it will be cancelled within N hours/days".

Currently what most companies (including startups) do is burying the cancellation instructions in some Knowledge Base, or forcing some back and forth via email or phone.

You can rationalise bad behaviour all day, but we all know very well the reason people don't make it easy to cancel.

To clarify on that last point - there is a single pumping station that is working to keep the Fraser river from turning half of the city of Abbotsford into a lake.

That station is under threat of failure, due to rising floodwaters.

If it fails, that's it. Half the town will be under ten feet of water, that has nowhere to drain. I don't mean 'nowhere to drain until next week' - I mean 'nowhere to drain, period.'
There's a reason for those so called "shenanigans".

The merchant fees for EC card are the lowest amongst all cards. Pretty much all banks issue EC cards. Earlier, merchant fees could not be passed along to the consumer. Earlier this year, a change in regulation meant these fees would now be passed on to the consumer [0].

I foresee a future where there will be two prices (1) Payment w/o credit card and (2) Payment with EC card. I don't see why EC card owners should bear the costs of people who want to use credit card as a convenience.

Overly abstracted code, or code that is a maintenance nightmare, is not clean code.

You are twisting words quite a bit. I very much belong to 'the other' tribe of not giving a nanofraction of a fuck about some of these 'achievements' pushed on us, done by people who don't get the concept and urgency of work-life balance. No amazon prime deliveries? In fact, no Amazon deliveries in Switzerland that make any sense? We get by just fine. We don't order food from restaurants, it negates the very reason why to go to restaurant in the first place, the social experience is just not there. I can cook +-comparably well and actually enjoy the process. And so on.

I have myself mapped extremely well thanks to long term involvement with some extreme sports, backpacking around the globe and few times use of psilocybin in the right setting. I know exactly what makes me tick and what is superficial shallow BS, and what you describe is right there.

Again, achievements you describe as some holy grail of mankind mean next to nothing. My wife is a doctor, exactly same story - she can tell you all evening about true respectable achievements, and none of it is about some engineer figuring slightly more effective way for business to deliver.

And don't drag the topic into 'you didn't stop this from happening!' - we are adults, and responsible for our own development and life paths. Don't expect me or anybody else to babysit you and set your life straight to get happy and fulfilled life. If you won't, no guidebook nor internet course, nor aging itself will. Get your own shit together and do it yourself to be more precise.
I have a visa credit card and received this email.
I don't want to use my debit card with amazon particularly.

You get a few added protections by purchasing with a credit card, and a mistake can't drain my current account in the same way as it could with a debit card, plus I get the benefits of a month or two credit for "free".

If I'm "forced" to use my debit card, I'll have to for essential purchases but this means that I likely won't be buying much more from amazon in the immediate future where I can find an alternative.

I subscribed to a weekly meal kit. It was very easy to onboard and I liked the service for many months. My situation changed and I no longer needed their service. I wanted to cancel my subscription and it's impossible to do online. It's written in super small to call their happy representative. I didn't like this situation so what I'm doing is skipping the meal kit for the next 4 weeks. Every month I log on their website and skip the next 4 weeks... I'll do this until my credit card expired. Just for this, I won't recommend them to anyone. It's sad because I kind of liked it when it was useful to me.

>Why we have stopped making cool protocols like this? It seems Internet had really cool protocols back in the day and we had so many possibilities. Now it seems we are stuck with HTTP.

Because of corporate network firewalls. Make no mistake, they would gladly break HTTP if they could, but it became too important, so now everything has to piggyback on top of HTTP.

Enforce the end-to-end principle and new protocols will flourish.
Europe is big. This is most definitely not illegal in Germany, in fact it is the preferred practice by anti-consumer companies.
Totally. Which is why I’d pay over $300 for a dumb phone like the Mudita Pure with its FreeRTOS-based, open source OS.

I think you’re reading your biases in, by choosing your emphasis.

There’s just as many passages talking about proper submission to authority, God anointing rulers to justly order you around, various roles within society, that women shouldn’t hold positions of authority, etc.

You lean left, so the verses justifying your own beliefs stand out most to you. This is one of the “common mistakes” in reading religious texts.
I've not seen a credit card where you can't automatically pay the full balance by direct debit each month. You do still have to do some maths (actual balance = current account balance - card balance) but I don't worry about it not being paid off.
Same if they pass on the card costs to the customers though - card user doesn't want to pay the true cost of using their card, they can choose to shop elsewhere.

Using a credit card in this way could be negatively impacting your credit rating.

You can be dinged both for having credit and not using it in a given month, as well as exceeding a certain threshold (~10%?) of your credit limit.
> But remember that 'leftist' is used more often than not as a pejorative and dog-whistle for "radical Marxist" in the US than a descriptive political label outside of leftist circles.

As seen from anywhere else, the US right now has a center-right party, with a handful of timid socdem members (the Democrats) and a far-right (Republicans), along with some other marginal movements.

Right now some people in the US would call Keynes a communist, or "radical Marxist", to use the dog-whistle you mentioned.
It probably depends on which country is handling your subscription. With a German address, they don't have to consider any request in any language other than German.
I'm with Barclays and Lloyds, and neither can go into negative(well, technically they can I suppose, but it's extremely hard to do. Any debit card or direct debit transaction will just get declined if it's about to go below 0).
And although OBS is most well known for being incredible streaming software, the fact that it can handle smooth video recording from games too (since once you have streaming you can pretty easily have recording too) means it's also displaced other video recording software such as Fraps, which used to be the go-to tool when recording games.
Brazil has gone that route with PIX [0]. It's a fund transfer system with realtime confirmation. Many e-commerce stores accept it besides debit/credit, they can confirm the payment almost instantaneously and they usually give discounts if you use PIX instead of debit/credit (3-10%).

Also, paying at stores, clinics, doctors, etc.. all done with PIX nowadays. Very few people are carrying cash these days. Very few clinics had a payment machine to accept debit/credit cards and now with PIX they have no incentive to do so anymore.

To transfer funds, you can specify the user's ID (which can be a phone number, national tax identification or some random string the user creates). To pay for purchases, you usually scan a QR code or copy a payment string using your bank's app/website. It's very convenient.

Linux distros and Mobile Apps rarely see these issues for one simple reason: packages must all be signed by a vetted maintainer before they are ever submitted and every client has the ability to verify signatures came from approved maintainers who hold the signing keys.

Phishing, bad 2FA, and vulnerabilities of the central repo upload path itself all go away with this simple tactic used by all sane package managers.

Someone PRed this exact same effective strategy to NPM in 2013, and it was refused even as -optional-.

https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/4016#issuecomment-76316744

NPM team members have ignorantly maintained that hashing packages is good enough. They insist on being a central authority for all packages with no method to strongly authenticate authors and this negligence has repeatedly endangered millions.

Meanwhile Debian and other community Linux distros maintain, sign, and distribute hundreds of popular NodeJS packages themselves now because they realize it would be negligent to risk having NPM in their supply chain.

The script to Rambo 3 has three mentions of Mujaheddin in it. Two of them are in the following section:

"What you see here,
are the Mujahedin soldiers,
holy warriors.

To us, this war is a holy war.

And there is no true
death for a Mujahedin,

because we have taken our last nights,
and because we consider us already dead.

To us, death for our
land and God is an honor.

So, my friend,
what we must do is to stop this
killing of our women and children.

If getting this man free,
so he can tell to the free world, and
tell what happens here, is necessary
then of course we will help."

I'm not sure if that's praising or exalting, but it wasn't damning in the context of the movie.

Hm, parsing the Kubernetes manifests sounds like a lot of work, and wouldn't guarantee 1:1 correctness. Some Kubernetes things (secrets, mounted configmaps, and ingresses, for example) don't even have CircleCI equivalents.

By multiple machines I mean running apps (both our own, and also third-party software like databases) on multiple machines as part of the test. A single test may have to stand up too much for a single machine to handle.

The beauty of Kubernetes is that this just works: Kubernetes will "pack" the nodes however it likes, and you just need to specify your resource requirements.
