Agreed. The money will quickly flow back through the system anyway, and will end up as a profit for some company somewhere. People don't just sit on their meager cash.
Except that much wealth is created in capital growth, for example real estate investments. If someone has a property worth $500k and another has one worth $10mil then the value created through inflation means the latter gets a far larger real growth in wealth. If someone chooses to by the latter house (without credit creation via borrowing) then cash is being absorbed and not flowing back.
The real problem with the whole Wealth, Work and Equality conversation is that there is enough resources and productive effort to produce a generous life fore all humans but we don't have an equitable system that shares it.
What a fucking yawn fest.
Dearest America,
You have far too many guns in circulation and that is the root cause of all of your domestic suffering
Every other country in the world goes WTF at your collective inability to grasp this basic concept. If you don't want guns pointed at your kids then give up yours.
There is nothing wrong with access to guns in controlled circumstances like ranges but they are not tools for defence of your home. They day that you stop packing them is the day that criminals don't need to (and wont so they will avoid harsh sentences if caught).
If you get rid of the guns then cops might be less trigger happy.
Of course this is not going to happen an these circular discussions will continue because its a great wedge issue to keep your votes going to corporate puppets. And since I am in full rant - the US today is exactly the type of country that it chose to rebel from to gain independence. Congratulations you are your own worst nightmare and completely apathetic to the conditioning that you regularly accept.
Yeah I had an account that I wanted to win so I did a find and replace for "SaaS Solution" with "Enterprise Grade Cloud Technology" on the {successful} proposal.
Truth be told its still an ancient and buggy PHP app.
......The sad thing is that most people care, but not enough to do anything about it.
100% of the people responsible for this are the US Population. These voting citizens support a two horse race between almost identically corporate shills for bread and circuses.
If someone came along and said - "Make me President and I will withdraw all troops from everywhere the day after my inauguration. Apart from that the democratic policy process can find its way through congress." they would not get a blip on the radar of votes.
Basically the US voters are saying as long as *I* have my bread and *I* have my circuses then I am a-fucking-o-k with my taxes funding the killing of others for reasons I fail to comprehend.

Oh....and thanks for the GFC too
As an aside - I once used yum to update a production Fedora server (7 I think) to a CentOS 5 server. Install the distribution package and then:
yum -y upgrade
Some version upgrades don't always have issues
Well behaved ads are not an issue

So what is the number? What is the format? 1 static advert per 800x600px? Is there a formula that would balance the commercial aspects vs visitors preferences?
Other than Linux failing to suspend and resume correctly on a laptop.
Only happens to me on Windows on my dual boot laptop. I wonder if that makes this comment +4 Insightful too...
No, management is paid to get the most work out of you for the least pay
Totally wrong. Management is paid (as part of their budget) to deliver business outcomes with the fiscal and human resources at their disposal. The reason why HR always has a seat at the executive table is because fundamentally every business that does not the well-being of their people as a high priority is destined to fail.
Once you have an offer and acceptance it would be nice if all employees treated their colleagues up/down or adjacent with respect.
If you are truly working in an environment of "..most work out of you for the least pay.." then get the FUCK OUT OF THERE. In my experiences any workplace hostilities are because of individuals not because of a corporate structure designed to enslave you. If you feel that way then solve your problem by finding a career/life that is free of such things.
In Australia your employment contract is a summary of your real "on paper" contract and the subsequent verbal changes and acceptance of those changes. This is basically if you accept changes to your verbal contact by not rejecting the duties and taking payment for them then it forms part of your contract.
Picture a dev who is asked to set up a few email accounts while the sysadmin is away. Sysadmin comes back and she passes on all email user management to the dev.
1) The dev accepts the work and it forms part of her employment contract - rejecting it in the future breaches that contract
2) The dev rejects the work citing that it is not part of her duties (saying "contract" is confrontational at that stage)
You can always tell your boss - "You know when you brought me a coffee were you just being nice and helping out or is it part of your duties/contract?"
Pay more, more will come. Very simple. Why would anybody bother to learn / earn experience for your shit-pay job? Your problem is YOU.
No the problem is you, you, you and me. Whilst we all want cheaper "everything" and use online bidding to push prices down we create a cost/price based business. I have a SaaS platform and the pressure to sell seats for under $100 is huge. If that seat wants support then profit margins quickly are eaten away.
We are an Australian firm. Our latest hire is a Dev in the Philippines because the western world is over priced (not their fault because they have too much costs & taxes).
Oh and I have started her our on the "shitty jobs" so she knows what not to do (and can incrementally improve to code). She is enthusiastic and putting in a good effort . You see it called a "job" not a "happy-happy-la-la-time-on-someone-else's-$$$".
Many people embrace their responsibilities to climate change by recycling more, using less energy and changing their living routines. It surprises me that they don't have the same attitude towards fiscal responsibility and expect their governments to borrow more prosperity from their futures to keep the illusion of wealth dancing in front of them.
Who is going to fix the sewer when things get backed up? Some folks who do it just for the "reputation" as the best sewer jockey?
The sewer is getting backed up because it is defective. Some folks would gladly attain the "reputation" for being the Engineer that solved that problem.
Lamplighters used to light the gas lights every night but then someone came along with an electric light that did not require a Lamplighter. If your vision was correct we would all be in the dark too!
'the Prime Minister said. "He said that he wants primary school kids to be taught coding so they can get the jobs of the future. Does he want to send them all out to work at the age of 11? Is that what he wants to do? Seriously?"
Arguably software development practices can be better group educational tools than maths, literacy and art as a software project can draw on coders, artists, organisers and others with different interests and backgrounds. Is teaching coding and technology from a young age an enabler for your community or should it be discouraged until the twilight years of schooling / collage?
If your Windows Admins are managing your firewalls, then you are in trouble... Usually it's either the network engineers or firewall Admins.
It always strikes me as odd that people assume businesses have the resources to deploy "best practices" ~ aka having one specialist team member for every IT position (Net, Admin, DBA, analyst, help desk, etc). Most businesses (ie small / medium ones) can only scrape together the means to employ one person (if any) and hope they have the skills to keep the business applications running ~ pretty much _everything_ else is secondary.
Does this "best practice" mantra attempt to coach SME's to do the right thing or is it just arrogance that people pontificate that the default assumption is that every business has the resources of the Enterprise?
