Not huge the plugs but even seems to have its own meter. And looks exactly like the one that’s our side my house. So makes me wonder how for a power meter and up getting mounted on a utility pole along with outdoor electric sockets as well.

Maybe they split the Bill accept all the homeless that live in the area? Or the sockets are for the homeless and the meter is for the city to know how much was consumed at that intersection?

I was in the Canadian side just today.

Haven’t been to the American side in years.

Where were you when you took this picture? On the lookout over hang? Or on the rainbow bridge?

Beautiful picture.

This is pretty incredible news.

Far as I can recall this is the first significant Union gain in a while.

Which makes me wonder which way will go from here.

A) Amazon drivers will get similar benefits? B) UPS will never again put themselves in the position where they fall behind Amazon competitively.

Didn’t it win an Oscar as well?

Haha. Same here. And for the longest time I couldn’t fix it. Then once I fixed it, I couldn’t figure out how to get it back since it did seem very useful.

I wish we would go back to the days of detailed manuals. I get they can’t be printed, but having an online master doc that contained all the features of a product would be amazing instead of finding through social media.

What are going to do with them? Where do you get them?

Are we going to steer with bacon everything as well?

In the other hand it’s half way through the week.

Kevin needs help.

It’s amazing to see all these memes and meme templates the last few days. That was peak Reddit back in 2009-10.

I feel good for lemmy if this continues.

Your point is incorrect. It is not needlessly complicated. It has to do with mainframe batch processing times.

It’s not a conspiracy, it is a technical challenge that is not easy to some. It is complicated, but not needlessly. If it was easy, it would have been fixed.

I am sure there are a number of private companies that do the same but simply don’t tell you.

E.g., every bank has a cut off time for transfers, same reason.

I think this is the most reasonable take on musk that I have seen in a long time.

Thanks.

Massive frame batch processing is the usual reason.

And before it ask why not replace it, the short answer outs it is complicated.

It might be a question better speed in eli5.

Come on. If you actually worked for social security you have to know why. It’s is related to mainframe batch processing.

But I can see why you might say what it did. Maybe you think it seems cooler to simply dump on the government it meant your 20 years of experience is 1 year repeated 290 times. So really 1 year of experience but you just got older.

There is a reason and not what you think.

This is the real answer. Main frame batch processing.

And till you haven’t experienced it, it seems like an excuse. Why can’t you simply do it all the time. Why can’t you get rid of the mainframe, etc.

But if only it were that easy. There is a reason IBM can still acquire multi billion dollar companies and then run them into the ground.

My company has maybe a couple million customers and can’t get rid of its mainframe and in areas that it’s gotten the process away from the mainframe, batch patronizing is still a thing. Because that is the only way to guarantee integrity.

So yea. I wish your comment gets more up votes. Because it is not a conspiracy, it is a technical limitation.

Beautiful.

Can you provide any more details about how you did it? Sounds like I need to do this.

Too many memories of my childhood with lizards of the wall.
