Yes, and assumed the driver was guilty. The two way road is that the middle-man has to assume innocence from BOTH parties until otherwise proven. Period.

There should be a way to codify law that requires companies to provide compensation for the trouble. Companies far too commonly assume guilty until proven innocent. It puts all the responsibility on the consumer because they want to avoid liabilities.

I don't think it is a valuable use of your time to try to dismiss me or try to generalize humanity.

This is a really good take. I have some experience with it though I'm not a C-Suite person. Over my 15 years of software engineering I've always had a job that had flexibility to let me work the way I wanted. Some offices and some buildings were worse than others but in general I was always able to set my hours, work from home or from a random place (i.e. coffee shop, park, mall, whatever) as I saw fit.

There were always times I needed to be present in person and I never scoffed at those. What I found recently, is employers are trying to shift from one extreme (fully remote) to the other. I hope we land back in the middle because I'm happiest when no one tells me what to do. I want to be treated like an adult and measured on merit and performance, not physical attendance.

My civil expectations match what I expect from other people and how I treat people in the world. Has nothing to do with my income and is based on how I was raised by my parents to treat people you interact with in the world.

I've done hard labor (construction, landscaping), I've done food service (sandwich shop) and I've done lots of white collar office work. Wealthy people can be nice and decent to people who have a much smaller income AND vice versa.

It sounds like you and I were raised differently. In the end, it is all about stepping out of yourself and understanding the reality of the person in front of you. That is a two way street.

What I’ve gathered from reading this thread is experience varies widely. One thread, Amazon sucks. Another, UPS is horrible. Another justifies it based on unionization and someone counters with highlighting FedEx’s lack of Union.

What gives? Well, I guess world wide companies have a spectrum of quality and your mileage varies based on too many factors to generalize.

Humans are all humans. Irrespective of their income level. Not sure what minimum wage has to do with whether or not being polite and pleasant conversation is exchanged.

At what point should a username be expected to be qualified with conditions beyond first come first serve?

No I don't.

I think you misunderstood me. Peace of mind is in not having to worry about fraud being my responsibility to fight or dispute. I can call CC company or through mobile app, flag transaction, get my money back and never spend another minute on the issue.

I'm not sure how much extra I pay but the hassle free peace of mind I have seems worth it.

Every time I read about space engineering, I'm amazed by how contingencies have contingencies. It's so much careful planning and rigor compared to my world. I can always re-compile, re-deploy and regularly realize that my job is not life or death.

A simple example is the media sharing quality is horrendous when you transcend the iPhone/Android boundary. Can you communicate, yes. Is it as good as an all iMessage interaction, no.

I don't think they are subjective at all. Tor is inherently slow based on how it works. It has gotten faster since inception but even in last year or two it is a multiple slower. Until that is non-existent adoption will be challenging at best.

Not been slow compared to what? It's been slow for me any time I've tried it.

Maybe though I know a lot of foreigners in America that act like this. So is it an American problem of a societal problem?

Shucks, I was in Berlin last week, I wish I'd known this. Next time I'll try to take this tour!

I can appreciate that. I have Phillips Hue setup with some lights and schedule. Having the porch and a few exterior lights come on/off makes the house feel more comfortable and is really nice when arriving at a late hour.

This sounds nice but I don’t want to manage my house, maybe I’m just getting old.

I agree. Promotion oriented architecture becomes a real thing because of this.

The old self-fulfilling prophecy.

Depends on how you shop. If you buy premade food, you’re right. If you buy ingredients and prepare yourself, you’re less right. It’s a scale.

That’s the least of societies concerns. Corn syrup and sugar infused everything is a massive problem.

Cooking good food is really simple when you break it down like this! Also, cleaning as you go can be crucial to avoiding the nuclear disaster that can be left in a kitchen after cooking.

Comparing remedy and ServiceNow is a bit like comparing cable television with Netflix.

100% this - I used to do enterprise integrations in the early days of ServiceNow. It's not a bad platform, consulting companies can suck (most do) and in-house implementations usually suck for different reasons.

ServiceNow is a combination of data modeling, interface and process design along with carefully balancing how to do things. Most of my time was in the CMS and SOAP integrations.

I think you have a skewed perception of value add. ServiceNow conquered the software as a service industry like no other and will be around for decades to come.

Developers and Admins may not like it because its development with bumpers for kids. End users dislike it because of the developers and admins. There may be some worth looking in the mirror to be had before you point the finger at a software platform for short comings within the organization.

Had an interaction with them during a Delta flight which was cancelled. I was re-booked with Air France, told to show up at CDG and they would take care of the rest. The staff at Air France desk was infuriatingly unhelpful.

You left out the rest of the sentence which makes it an incomplete sentence. Usually this is followed by "would you like another?" or something along the lines that becomes a yes or no question.

Merely saying "This is two for x." is a statement, not a question.
