Don't believe them. Don't trust them. Always have an escape plan ready...
I'm curious, if you were given this advice when preparing for the "awesome" job that college promised, would you have wasted four years and thousands of dollars for such an "amazing" opportunity?
I mean seriously...this warning sounds like a North Korean travel brochure.
therefore, smart managers don't use emails.
Sure they do! They just also happen to run their own email servers.
I'm not sure what her rate is, but Hilliary is likely available to answer any questions you may have. I hear she is rather skilled at setting up data retention policies...
Then you lose your offer when you're asked for a recent pay stub.
Then perhaps you short-circuit this from happening altogether, and instead pose the question of relevance when current salary is queried.
It is an odd question. It's like going to buy a new car and the dealer asking you what you paid for your last one.
"keep every email"
That's a good one.
Yeah, it's good for a laugh, when you realize your email policies prohibit any employee from saving any email older than 5 years, and they auto-delete from the system.
Used to keep legal discovery in check. I'll let you decide if it's for your benefit or not...
Even forgetting the security issue, going around with a pump and injection line connected all the time is a lot more of a pain in the ass than current methods. Also, it can't make judgements based on future activity - you might want less insulin than normal because you're about to embark an on 3-hour bike ride, which if you take your regular dose, will make you hypoglycemic, pass out, and wake up in an ambulance or the hospital (insulin efficiency increases with activity level, which is why you need less insulin when you're about to be active for any period of time).
I'm rather amazed that you don't believe a computer somehow cannot monitor the "future" in real-time , as was suggested when using the Dexcom continuous glucose sensor in the hardware design.
Remember we're trying to remove the human element here, which can easily be identified as the point of weakness as well as the maintainer.
$250 is absurd? Since when?
$250 for an operating system is insane when you can buy a decent tablet or a low-end PC for less than that. And, guess what? You get a free operating system, thrown in!
$250 has been the standard price for a full version of Windows Pro OS for quite some time now (like XP era), so cry insane all you want, the price has been the price for as long as you've (not) been paying it.
Like Lenovo?? There is no question who pushed it onto YOUR new device. They approved it, they knew what it was, they forced it on you with no way or little way to remove it. Yes call them out in a big way.
You might not have noticed before when I stated a wrongful accusation.
Lenovo was far from being 100% innocent in their actions, as you state.
Someone who is truly wrongfully accused will spend years and tens of thousands of dollars or more repairing their reputation, which most individuals can't even afford to defend the accusation, much less the clean-up efforts.
Seriously, if someone is running around breaking windows (pun intended) in your neighborhood, they're outed in the local crime report. If they did it to 1.5 million homes, I'd bloody well expect that yes, they should be identified.
I personally wouldn't object to having them branded, either. Or, if you're more Adam Smithy, just suspend their ability to file civil lawsuits allowing people to do whatever they want to them that doesn't actually rise to criminal activity.
I'm curious, what say you when you are the one spending thousands to try and wipe out Google's search history after you're wrongly accused of said hacking crime and you successfully defend yourself and your reputation in court, but it still lingers for all future employers to search and find, all because you "bloody well expect" such a "criminal" to be branded immediately.
Seems few people really think of the consequences of shit like this, especially if framing professionals for cybercrimes may turn out to be just as popular as committing the crime itself.
When it's especially cold it would be a pain to undo the bundling just so the ATM can see your face. There's a fine art in layering your clothes (balaclava tucks inside the coat collar, scarf on the outside, etc) to keep the wind out on those -30C days.
So, all of your money is stored outside for the winter?
Wow, that's gotta suck. The rest of us are inside snuggled up next to the common sense ATM location...
Let's say that I want to loan a trusted friend some money. I give him (or her) my ATM card and PIN. They get the cash they need and bring me back the card and receipt. For some people, that's not at all unusual, if they're right about who to trust. Even so, this facial recognition is going to make this kind of routine transaction impossible.
What you call "routine" the rest of the world pretty much calls "obscure".
In 25+ years of banking, I've never loaned out my PIN or ATM card. Not even to a family member (they have their own card anyway). If someone needs a loan, they get cash or a check. You know, kind of like how everyone else loans money.
Good luck running an errand for a friend.
Uh, how often are you lending your debit card and PIN to any friend, or even family member? I mean seriously, can't think of a single time I've done this. Someone needs to run an errand, they get cash, or they have their own ATM card.
Do they not have debit cards and Pin Numbers in China?
Ah, yes, the infamous PIN...why didn't they think of that infallible impossible-to-break bulletproof security model..
I dunno, I like to be in control of the situation and this freebie sounds sketchy, do we get to keep the upgrade for offline install? My history of windows use has always reinforced the idea of "clean install" over upgrade, not sure if that's still true but I imagine it is still the better route.
The price of the Win10 pro is absurd, $250, or $149 for OEM if you can handle your own support *snicker*
$250 is absurd? Since when?
I can still find Windows 7 Pro selling for that much. Seems to be the usual price for a full version, and their "free" offerings are about as zero-cost as others turn out to be.
I have been an American citizen for over 30 years ever since I took my oath back in the 1980's
This is the day I can say that I feel proud as an American for at the very least the politicians in Washington D.C., for once, are doing something that the PEOPLE want them to do --- to kill that goddamn draconian bill that allows the government of the United States of America to act much like a totalitarian regime
I think I am not the only one in America who will keep note of who is voting to keep American under the dictatorship of Obama - and we will make sure that all the supporters of dictator Obama will get booted from the Capitol Hill
Oddly enough, while I do agree with you, I find myself very frustrated that we seem to have a lone voice on Capital Hill when it comes to opposing that regime.
Why is it seemingly only Rand Paul's job to stand against laws that are blatantly unconstitutional? (Yes, I'm speaking to you, every other lawmaker representing the People).
I find myself laughing that lawmakers are still made to take an oath to support and defend the Constitution...makes you wonder what the hell for.
It's interesting that a lot of effort has been put into things like SecureBoot, but there is still a plethora of devices in a PC which are ready to accept new (potentially malicious) firmware at any given point in time.
Well, at least now you have an idea of just how bad IoT deployment is going to get.
That way it can't be overwritten by software. Or at least require an internal jumper to be set before any writes can happen. Any user updating their BIOS would be fairly experienced so taking the lid off an setting a jumper wouldn't be a problem for them and people who arn't technical could just take it to a store.
In the day and age where the tablet device is being pushed as the desktop replacement, and a laptop can be outfitted to be on par with desktop performance, it's becoming harder and harder to find this "lid" you speak of...
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
