| Topic | This whole gender pay gap thing makes no sense. |
| IdiotMachine 03/29/20 2:58:43 PM #1 | If it was true, why would companies bother hiring men? Just get a flat 30% off labor by hiring women. When factoring in lifestyle choices, career types, etc., the gender pay gap doesn't exist. --- |

| IdiotMachine 03/28/20 12:20:34 PM #1 | NYU Tisch School of Arts student body demanded partial refund for Spring 2020, because the move to online courses diminished the value for those in drama, performance arts, etc. The dean said no, and sent a video of herself dancing to REM. Students were confused and angry. Dean says she wanted to show, through interpretive dance, that we can all come together in these hard times.

| IdiotMachine 03/27/20 1:54:00 AM #14 | Beyond01 posted... Im more afraid of pain.Right. In old age, people always die due to some disease and weakness of the immune system. So you get a cold, you'll be in high fever, sweating but cold, tired, literally coughing up blood, and then dying just like that. Or get a heart attack, which I've read feels like you're getting stabbed in the heart, and die... Ugh. --- |

| IdiotMachine 03/25/20 11:45:02 PM #15 | Wewillrocku posted... software updates? you look forward to those?Why would you not want software updates? It blows my mind that flagship models get, at most, two major Android updates over their lives. --- |
| Topic | If iPhones allowed for more customizations, Android would die. |
| IdiotMachine 03/25/20 11:26:18 PM #11 | Wewillrocku posted... i don't agree.Why? iPhones have significantly better software updates than almost every single Android manufacturers (literally only the Pixel gets fast, regular updates), significantly better messaging via iMessages (it'll be interesting to see how the RMS will evolve the default Google Messages; but it may be too little, too late), and much more consistent cameras. Oh, and in the app department, iPhones have much better apps than Android; even the same app for iPhone is completely different than Android... Apps also generally come first for iPhone, than later is ported over to Android. This is all because of fragmentation of Android and how many different devices there are. --- |

| Topic | If iPhones allowed for more customizations, Android would die. |
| IdiotMachine 03/25/20 11:18:55 PM #1 | If iPhones just does the following: *Allows alternative launchers, *Selection of "default" apps, *Standardized USB Type C, *Add an option for a univeral "back" button vs swiping, app-specific back buttons, etc., There would be absolutely no reason to buy an Android phone, except for budget users. --- |

| Topic | Management wants us to track time in 15-minute increments when working at home. |
| IdiotMachine 03/25/20 12:55:44 PM #11 | ocelot51 posted... Lots of managers are scared to death of people working from home because they see it as an excuse to goof off. Or more accurately, a loss of perceived control. Thus, they want to know what you're doing at all times.So we have five layers of management; this came from the 3rd layer apparently. Other departments aren't doing this, and my direct manager thinks it's overkill, but we should record our time as we were directed to. EndOfDiscOne posted... My firm does 6 minute increments for billing projects. I figured it was normal.For hourly, I can see that, since that's 0.1 hours. --- |

| IdiotMachine 03/25/20 12:30:29 PM #1 | Pretty much everyone in my group (of 17 engineers) is ignoring it, and just writing out a summary of what we did at home for the day. Management is stupid if they think we're going to seriously track our time in 15-minute increments. We're salaried, buddy. --- |

| IdiotMachine 03/23/20 6:32:27 PM #17 | DarkChozoGhost posted... No, it's an action when he and everyone around him make a concentrated effort to push the name Chinese virus. That's what he did, and anyone that claims "that's just what he calls it" is being completely disingenuous and arguing in bad faith.Perhaps it's because China is trying to blame the virus on the US, and propaganda is pushing to say it hasn't originated from China. --- |

| Topic | Why is the stimulas bill failing to pass? |
| IdiotMachine 03/23/20 3:21:31 PM #16 | Long story short: *Republicans drafted a bill with no Democrat input. *The bill had a massive amount of "free" money for large corporations (at their discretion; it is not listed in the bill), with no strings attached. *Democrats say that the bill had too much for the big guys, and not enough for regular Joe's. *Trump actually agreed with the Democrats, and said he did not want a bill with no strings attached, such that corporations can just use this money and buy back stocks to make their worth more. --- |
