because it is locked, it is able to be unlocked.

I think they’re saying that “unlockable” could mean that its not possible to lock said door so no, not already locked

Because people don’t generally use it that way and language changes and evolves based largely on how it is used.

Cry about it

There is a long and storied history behind this if you actually are interested in learning why

Mulatto

Sounds like a legit source

So was there a vote on vacation days at some point?

I mean kind of… It was the Democratic primary and Bernie unfortunately lost it

Oh honey…

If the USA can’t match the UK or Germany, then don’t even bother.

What a stupid fucking thing to say.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

caller satisfaction is greater with the TTS system,

You know what’s great about the valley callers who don’t make it?

No bad survey results!

Cool.

the current rage against AI is 90% driven by the idea that humans need to produce output sothat we can donate to them and give them money sothat they can live.

What an absolutely insane straw man

They spend time squabbling about the worker that barely get by doing the bare minimum but knows the rules. Meanwhile the really hard workers get fired for one time mistakes

I don’t believe you that this is a thing that you have personally experienced in a union.

Meanwhile the really hard workers get fired for one time mistakes

Usually literally contractually impossible based on the contract that was negotiated by the union’s collective bargaining bloc.

Unions are ultimately groups of people. If you don’t like the priorities and direction of the leadership, then you vote for new leadership.

Everyone gets paid more, including the ones who work really hard. They just don’t get to steal their coworkers job because they had a rough month at home and didn’t meet some bullshit made up quota. No, you support that coworker, because they deserve a living wage too, even if they’re going through something.

Even if that thing is opaque and is appears to others as “laziness”. Shit ain’t your business beyond ”i hope things get better for them, and I am so glad that the leave they need to take will not permanently ruin them financially and force their family to move back with their inlaws in goddamn India" or wherever.

Like Jesus, have some common fucking decency for your coworkers.

News flash: working harder than you need to does not get your more money in non-union positions either. You just end up with more responsibility and less free time.

It takes a long time and a concerted effort to morph a healthy union into what’s basically organized crime (see: police “unions”).

Otherwise, unions are just groups of people. People can be corrupt, and healthy unions have mechanisms and safeguards for excising that corruption.

The F.O.P. isn’t created overnight. It’s built on generation upon generation of corrupt cops covering for each other. That is not a union, that’s a gang.

Yeah same. For me, the alternate is to just not use YouTube so I usually give it a few tries with freetube before giving up

So like when the abused go on to become abusers themselves. Got it.

Hidden Fortress

Makes it even more annoying when some insane fascist shit happens IRL and people are like “omg it’s just like what Palpatine did” or whatever.

Like no dude, it’s like what fucking Adolf Hitler did

She got 100% fully naked in The Wolf of Wall Street fyi

definitely industrial-scale automation systems. Mostly PLCs, but also SCADA for monitoring. Lots of 20-30 year-old tech. Those networks have no reason to be connected to the internet.

You’re talking a massive nation with more systems like this than you could ever imagine. Probably more than all of Europe combined.

They are in every state of repair and disrepair that you could imagine, and many have been receiving government funding for at least at decade now (def more, but I can only speak to the last ten years or so) to replace these systems, including SCADA and PLCs.

So you have a patchwork of countless systems, in every level of tech modernity that you can imagine.

The newer systems usually have an internal network of sorts, and they might have a portal for someone outside the network to log in to remotely monitor.

The problem seems to be that these idiots kept the default credentials, etc.

But to answer you’re question, they’re not all 20-30 years old, and network connectivity (without being open to the outside internet, obviously), is a very useful feature when replacing those old systems with newer ones.

That’s why.
