I can smash out a set of orders or a voucher in 10 minutes flat on both old and new DTS and they won’t get returned Never could figure out the guys who’d let a thousand dollars in per diem just sit there unclaimed

Fallom posted:I can smash out a set of orders or a voucher in 10 minutes flat on both old and new DTS and they won’t get returned Yeah, DTS is generally fine for like 98% of travel cases. The only times I've had difficulty is stuff like combining travel with leave or going TAD while already on a different TAD. I'd have to imagine the service academies have that poo poo automated and streamlined to a high degree by now.

Riot Carol Danvers posted:DTS is the mediocre-to-nonfunctional travel software that some branches of the US military use. So, according to my dad, back in the late 70s you just brought in your receipts and were paid in cash. When I first got in, you sat down with an admin SGT, filled out a travel voucher, gave him your receipts, and got paid within the next month. Now, with the advent of computers and DTS, I can get paid in a matter of months after checking my voucher dailer and making weekly calls to the help desk. So much better.

I understand that mileage varies, but I have had a major delay in DTS which wasn't my fault maybe once? And it was some rear end in a top hat retired Navy guy turned GS employee being a total dickhole until our deputy commander called him and lost his poo poo with him. Usually 3-10 days to get paid? I've had more DTS angst when it comes to explaining to some pre-travel checker peon that there is a very, very good reason why we didn't choose a particular hotel or car or flight or whatever when it's the flight location that is $2 cheaper, but it gets cancelled 50% of the time due to weather or whatever. Or why flying out of the bigger airport an hour down the road is better than flying out of the 2 whole flights per day from the micro-airport near some travel location.

DTS is solid until: - They push an update that changes where everything is located (this happens roughly quarterly) - You complete your document and it stalls at CTO BOOKED because the system randomly poo poo itself and CTO didn't actually get it - Your funding office fails to actually fund the drat thing until about 3 days before you hit the plane (which means on Friday, you're scrambling for someone, anyone loving working to hit a loving button) - Receipt policy changes (this happens roughly quarterly) So DTS is solid like a good bowel movement.

Receipt policy is often local dumbassery not DTS. I forgot the biggest actual DTS frustration: Bookings on/around fiscal years. Fuuuuuck figure it out bean counters.

Current event - the beach by my house has finally been closed to all non exercise activity. It is the most crowded I've ever seen it, to include a college age house party of about 18 persons. We are going to be staying home until fall. Not those morons, though, way to be free.

Just gotta say the only problems I've ever really seen with DTS is your admin being worthless. "Sorry we can't actually get full per diem because then I'd have to ask the skipper to talk to the guy who probably eats lunch with to get it approved. Im totally gonna get an award for making the skipper have a shared bathroom at NGIS."

I hadn't seen these yet :3 but from the screenshots it looks like some of the same folks from the Asian Boss interviews (which makes sense, it's the same presenter). The one on how North Koreans view America is a really good one.

Buttcoin purse posted:*quickly reads the headline* Kim Jong-undead It's a cult of personality. In the same way Steve Jobs got people to work for nothing and spend all their time at work, I would imagine that communists leaders did something similar. Working towards a common goal feels good. It's the fundamental difference between east and west thinking in the Cold War. I would also highly recommend The Americans. It's about the KGB and why blue jeans and Ronald Regan being absolutely willing to end life on earth 'won' the Cold War. Poor Outlook fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Apr 26, 2020 |

Why are you imagining what Communist leaders did, there's literally history books about it. I'm sorry, I'm trying to come up with a measured response as to why your Apple to Soviet Russia models for increased productivity similarities take is wrong and bad, but dude, what the gently caress? Yeah maybe when the whole thing catalyzes they have a charismatic leader and shared vision, but Bill didn't do 18 hours days under threat of his family going away forever. On topic re NK, yeah, institutionalization is a hell of a thing. Most of us sure as gently caress know that one, they just take it to a whole other insane level. maffew buildings fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Apr 26, 2020 |

Bill gates was probably a nerd who wanted revenge on the bullies. Wasn't he notoriously 'mean' or what they call today as patent trolling to his competitors? Also wasn't the whole internet a DARPA project in the first place? So credit where credit is due lol.

Bill Gates is known for writing a dumb huffy letter about everyone pirating BASIC (which he had just repackaged from work done at Dartmouth) and for invoking a line of the contract he wrote with Ed Roberts (that Ed Roberts never read) about promoting BASIC to take control of Microsoft. And for investing in patent trolling companies despite claiming in 1991 that technology patents are bad for the industry--which you can either take as hypocrisy or due warning that the American people and Congress refused to act on. I don't really know what you're getting at with the internet-ARPANET reference relating to maffew's point that your comparison of tech company COs to atrocities committed by communist dictatorships might not be on the level.
