Comment Re:Epidemic of pain in USA (Score 1) 55

There are plenty of studies that show a combination of acetaminophen and ibuprofen are just as effective as these addictive opiods.

The real problem and threat to USA is poor health ... including the over prescription of all medications. The average American is becoming drugged, alcoholic and overweight. If you make any mention of this or suggest regulation you are labeled a body shaming communist / socialist.

Comment Re:Units per hour is bad way to meter IT work (Score 3, Insightful) 211

This one is easy to read, see it all the time. Are you alcoholic too? I was a workaholic/alcoholic. Either way you are not finding joy in life, get help, spend more time with your family!

I'm guessing these new hires make about 80-85% of what you make after 10 years and you feel slighted, have you considered a career change? Companies change every 5-7 years, sometimes you have to move on.

Comment Re:QA Testing daily builds? (Score 1) 55

Even back in the early days, I used to comment that I wouldn't install any new version of OS X or iOS until the minor version number exceeded the major version number, because each major release started out less stable than the previous major release.

Strange policy to follow ... for iOS the minor version has never exceeded it's respective major version, has it? In some cases the bug revision exceeds the minor version, example: iOS 4.3.5

There was only one major version number for OS X ... 10, with 10.11 released on September 30, 2015 and not since 10.6.8 on July 25, 2011 has a bug revision exceed a minor.

Maybe i'm not getting it... definitely wait a minor version or two.
