Not OP, but I know my manager was let go because he didn’t agree with his manager (VP) in the new re-org structure. I’m glad he didn’t agree because we are customer facing engineers and under the new re-org, we would be under a person who had no desire to think about issues from an external client perspective. It would have made the entire team miserable and less efficient but the VP had an attitude of “why don’t you just do as you’re told”.
Sometimes it’s just poor leadership, but leaders have power.
I could say that my project was orthogonal to his interests, but also not optional (from higher ups). I made it painless but I expect that as much as anything, he didn’t like my face.
And, what was rough was that he oversaw our division for about 60 days. I know for a fact I wasn’t on the cut list from my manager or his manager.
Is this capitalist-rational? It is what it is. Is it about optimal organizational outcomes? I don’t see how it could be. Layoffs are about something, but righting ships? I don’t accept that.
> Russia claims Ukraine is an aggressive NATO outpost and that they have been invaded too many times not to see it coming.
They've been invading their neighbors for 200 years, at some point their neighbors got together and promised collective mutual defense. They can claim NATO is the bad guys, but they don't have much credibility at this stage. Stalin was claiming "capitalist encirclement" already in the late 1920s, way before NATO existed.
You know just because one side says one thing and the other says another thing, this isn't something unknowable, right? Russia complains about NATO - how many times has NATO invaded Russia? Now how many times has Russia invaded its neighbors? In just the last 10 years Russia has occupied Georgia, bombed Moldova, and invaded Ukraine. If they don't like all their neighbors joining an alliance maybe they shouldn't keep invading. Use some critical thinking dude.
This reminds me of the devil's definition of a moderate: A moderate is a person who holds the reasonable moderate position, which is the only reasonable position. Therefore, anyone who disagrees with a moderate is a screaming, bomb-throwing radical ideologue, who must be silenced no matter what it takes. This is the only reasonable moderate position.
Many Russians disagree and many Russians are wrong. Many Russians have been so abused by their successive shitty governments that they've been Stockholm syndromed into loving the abuse.
I don't care you "disagree with my viewpoint". It's not an opinion. It's a fact that Russia has been an invader for the past 200 years. It's a fact that Russias neighbors are scared. It's a fact that even Armenia, who never says no to Russia because it's afraid Russia will just roll in the tanks, has figured wait a minute we don't have to bend over any more.
You know the most interesting thing about Russia's sphere on influence? It's doesn't have one. Which countries are friendly with Russia? Syria and north korea. These are failed states and they're not neighbors of Russia lol. Why do you think this is? Because being a bully works while you're strong, but as soon as you waver you'll learn your victims don't actually like you.
Another devil's definition of a moderate is a person who thinks that Nazi's wish to exterminate Jews has to be treated fairly and can't be simply dismissed out of hand.
One side wants to kill all the Jews, the other side just wants to be left alone. Who's right no one knows, call it 50-50.
There's more than a superficial resemblance between the two situations btw. Look up Holodomor, when Stalin decided he'll try and kill as many ukranians as possible. 7 million dead in 2 winters. Hear him out tho, he just has a different viewpoint.
not if you compare per capita. those countries you name have a significant sized populations that should be taken into account to normalize comparisons to other counties with much smaller populations.
can you elaborate on the workaround to remove the settings? after removing an eS and resetting all network settings, once the eSIM is active again, wouldn't the unwanted network settings be added back again?
And if it comes to light that it was not a natural disaster- that this funding contributed to it- then we should cut off said funding until better protocols, enforcement and accountability are in place
If it turned out to be not a lab leak, fine, carry on. If it was a lab leak, why on earth should I be complacent about my tax dollars contributing to the next one?
so let's imagine what this journalist expected to happen to the shoes really did happen, and mulched up pieces of metal and batteries from the trackers really ended up in playgrounds intended to provide a soft and safe surface to play on.
maybe the journalism is good, but it poses danger to kids getting cut and being exposed to battery chemicals.
also if i ran a playground surface mulching service i would have a metal detectors for safety reasons and not allow these shoes to be mulched, which could be what actually happened.
No passcode is possible. I have it configured that way for a device I have mounted on the wall at home. But apple makes it difficult to do so, as in a lot of extra steps, warnings and reminders, not just initially but every single update too. They've made it inconvenient intentionally, which is good.
