Re: Re: Next time use a pencil & paper
Imagine if there was just 1 standard for how to do these things.
Would make auditing the systems much easier & not 27 different code bases to check for bugs/hacks.
Would also make it harder for some states to make sure some citizens can't vote so they can hold onto power.
For all the the bitching and screaming about election integrity I'm still waiting for some newsperson to actually ask Republicans about the people who attempted to illegally vote... they've all been Republicans.

Re: WFH Analytics
One does wonder what will happen to productivity once the workers home lives get back to normal.
It is hard to quantify what each persons struggles are, its not like there were any zoom meetings where the bosses really want the workers to unload whats stressing them out & work out plans on how to cope.
It is one thing to throw together a home office on short notice & keep working as the rest of the world is locking down vs. being able to go out and find a nice chair and desk to make a real work space that you can focus in b/c the entire family isn't home getting on each others nerves.

But but but we've always done it this way & it is set in stone tablets and we can't possibly change now! How else can we get our bonuses unless we make everyone miserable.
A company is not a family, you can't force them to like each other.
If you try to force these things they will unite, but it will be to find a way to get rid of you or screw you.
The pandemic made everyone change plans really really fast & how the fsck is it during the lockdown not a single company seems to have considered how to bring everyone back without causing even more chaos?
Vaccination rates are not uniform among staff so you can't just set a day everyone has to be back.
Schools/Day Cares aren't quite back yet, demanding they come back without considering they exist outside your culture of corporations is how you lose talented people.
Maybe shred the revered MBA handbook about how things are supposed to be & look at the results you got during the lockdown. Perhaps some people staying remote is the best option for that position, perhaps 25 zoom meetings a day might be 24.5 to many.
If you feel you have to see the people working & thats the only way to be sure they aren't all slackers (ignoring what they've been doing remotely all this time) great news!! You are going to end up having to hire a bunch of new staff to replace those who are fed up with your crap.
They are adults, not naughty children you have to monitor at all times.
If they aren't getting the job done, replace them.
If they are getting the job done while at home, with the 10K distractions and life happening around them ask if they like being remote? Find a way to make it work.
You might be masters of the corporate universe, but you can't make covid or the rest of their lives stop just to please you. Your competitor will love to offer them remote friendly options that will sound better as you're screaming get back in the office and put your butt in the seat who cares if your kid ends up home alone.

"It is time to fundamentally rethink how we fund our high-speed networks."
So your gonna do away with USF as none of those dollars have built any high speed networks by any laughable stretch of the metric of high speed?
"Big Tech has been enjoying a free ride on our internet infrastructure while skipping out on the billions of dollars in costs needed to maintain and build that network"
So Skippy, I has a question, then why the fsck is my bill so damn high and the speeds never get better?
"Ending this corporate welfare is more than fair. It is consistent with the network compact that has prevailed since the earliest days of the Ma Bell telephone network"
Ah yes, that thing that was broken up because it was abusing its position & not only gets more handout and government protection of its monopolies??
People in the 3rd world enjoy higher speeds at lower prices than we pay, perhaps maybe consider that you have failed in your job to make the pet monopolies actually live up to a single promise & not hand them free billions because they want it without doing anything to actually earn it.
How the FSCK did someone get put on the FCC when they have no understanding of the basics of bandwidth work & ignored that ATT refused to pay Googles bandwidth bill for 1 month.

"we hope to continue selling our product in Menards stores"
BWHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!
What we have here is the dimmest bulb of an idea hitting the members of the district.
You mean if we threaten them they might opt to not carry our product?
You mean if we cost them money no retailer will want to sell for us?
They should be nicer than that after we've called them thieves & threatened an IP lawsuit.
They should just rebrand their product & keep selling ours.
Its a little weird to see a sewerage district selling fertilizer, given the issues run off causes to water ways & increased costs it creates. But then having a lawn is the american dream even in the face of drought... (looking at you Las Vegas).

Re: Re: Re: If you can't win an honest game rig it until you do.
Sadly you humans have morals and reject the idea of turning them on each other & letting it fix itself.
We can save them!!
No, no you cannot.
These are not toddlers who think there is a singing purple dinosaur who loves them, these are wackjobs with weapons they are more than willing to turn on anyone who dares question them.
This gestures at the world today is exactly what happens every single time your idiotic race decides that we can reach them & reason will win the day.
Oh Hitler is just misunderstood, he means well.
Oh Nero, he just wants everyone to be happy.
Yep never happened before you hairless apes of short memories.
They helped kill 500,000 citizens, are trying to gloss over sedition & treason, and we still have people pretending bipartisanship will fix this.
Governors & State Legislators are still trying to pretend the mask mandates were just evil plots.
When the delusion has a bodycount, you have no smart ideas to remove the obviously mentally deranged from office before they kill again?
We have a large number of citizens who have been told to reject the evidence of their own eyes & fear the vaccine.
This is going to make the pandemic keep going.
Now we pretend we can trust the maskholes to actually be fully vaccinated out in public without a mask.
How many more people do we need to kill on the altar of ego?
Typhoid Mary was a lovely housekeeper, how many did she kill before society finally said enough and locked her away for the protection of society?
We have a disease, that is very very real, that we could have stopped but there were no adults in the room.
Now these coddled well armed idiots are going to refuse to do the 1 thing that could actually end the pandemic and we could resume with our lives because... Trump told them it was bad.
Lets put them on a reservation, send in some blankets, and call it a day. The grandmother you save might be your own. There comes a limit to personal freedom & infecting others should be it. We have wheelchair Hitler Youth screaming that forced vaccination is the worst thing ever & people should resist. That wearing a mask is a huge personal freedom destroying burden on them. If you saw an asshole running around with a lit stick of dynamite would you try to reason with them or would you drive them away from others before it went off?
America has a great history of breaking promises, whats one more. Put them in camps until they can witness up close what a covid infection does & remind them that we have a vaccine but you didn't believe in the thing thats killing you.
Stop staring at me like that.
I didn't say put Arbeit macht frei above the gate.
If they want to kill themselves, why stop them?
We get felt up to get on planes on the off chance someones underwear might be a bomb but you balk at the idea of locking up super spreaders who will keep infecting others as long as they are free, until we can get everyone else willing & able to be vaccinated the shots?
We can apologize to them in 25 years or so... the apology might be in the form of grave wreaths but they were free to decide to not be vaccinated, but stopped from taking others with them.
