According to small cafe owner woman person. I mean obviously you're the best person to inform of this problem. Just go and change the legislation to get yourself hired.

open24hours posted:The whole mortgage you can't afford thing just wreaks of victim blaming. Sure there are people who live far beyond their means, but houses are expensive and not everyone is rich. Are you serious? I mean I know the whole borrowing money thing implies you cant afford a house, but if you actually cant afford the repayments, no one is holding a loving gun to your head to take on the loan.

Granted I moved back with my parents after getting divorced and then going broke, and now stereotypically live in their garage, but I have my cat Oh yeah, my dog did the same when that happened to me, but My parents love her to bits and I know shes got a good home with them. I wouldnt buy a house just to keep her around anyway - every place I rented I just took her and didnt tell anyone and it was never an issue.

freebooter posted:I have a politically aware English lefty friend who is coming to Australia and doesn't really know anything about it, and has asked for reading recommendation to get an overview of history/politics etc. What's a good longread that sums up the entire bizarre and disgusting asylum seeker debacle, for the benefit of somebody who hasn't done the obstacle course of smoke and mirrors for the past fifteen years? Like, every now and then I wonder what it must look like to somebody who arrives from overseas, to find Australia frothing at the mouth at a tiny group of political refugees. Virtually anything good that I can think of having read comes from the understanding that you've already been schooled in the propaganda, I want something for fresh eyes. These threads.

starkebn posted:It's loving criminal and stupid how remuneration goes up by percent of your wage. Just give everyone $5k a year raises whether they're in the top bracket or the bottom. It would benefit the bottom paid a lot more and stop the top earners from getting so far ahead. No you see it goes up by a percentage because that way everyone gets the same and it's fair.

Frogmanv2 posted:I am undecided on whether or not it's a good thing that my company is moving towards a biometric clock on/off system. We use one and yes its a loving poo poo thing. The amount of annoying bullshit tickets it generates is just ridiculous. also it doesnt support scroll wheels. it was written in 2013 and looks like windows 3.1 software. Not only that it has the most convoluted enrollment system of any kind I have ever seen. EDIT: its especially dumb because it requires you log in with a PIN code first and THEN scan your finger. so even if the finger print is correct, its redundant. In other news: http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/...313-142yn3.html why would anyone think this is at all a good idea. Laserface fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Mar 13, 2015 |

Frogmanv2 posted:Because I am distrustful of big business in general. After reading a bit more detail it looks like they will use it to scrimp on hours paid. If I clock in 15 minutes before I'm due, they will ignore that and make my start time the official time. If I log off 3 minutes early they will dock me 3 minutes pay. I'm not sure if I work 5 minutes that they will pay me 5 minutes extra. we have service reps all over the place that were using it originally, and then they rolled it out to all operation/admin staff also so that we only had one payroll system in use to make it easier for everyone. Our boss keeps reassuring us that its just for logging what days you worked and totally not for the obvious benefit of counting our exact in/out times and paying accordingly, however Im sure its only a matter of time until that is exactly why its in use. Like I said in my previous post, the software is a pile of poo poo, the physical units arent much better, and IT DOESNT EVEN WORK JUST WITH YOUR FINGER PRINT, IT NEEDS ADDITIONAL IDENTIFICATION

Employment chat for a moment: Why the gently caress does anyone get interns? we have one who apparently has a masters in Comp Sci and he cant follow basic instructions like 'copy this file from this clickable UNC path to your machine and unzip it to the program files folder' Like hes getting paid nothing and sucking my time reiterating these basic as gently caress instructions to him, often numerous times. Theres no value here at all for anyone.

I guess it'll be awesome when the data is sold to telemarketers and we are all getting non stop phone calls, which in turn creates more meta data, which leads to more reselling of data to telemarketers, causing us to receive nonstop phone calls...

Its still a fair bit more expensive than buying blocks of usenet access, to access a range of shows I dont really want to watch, and means my connection would be slowed down while its in use, which would be the same timeslot Im usually playing games online. So Im out. but the pricing makes it nice for people who dont have the hardware or know how to pirate properly.

cpaf posted:I'm pretty sure basically everyone in Australia knows how to pirate poo poo these days, and anyone who doesn't won't be likely to come into contact with Netflix anyway. The real advantage isn't that it's strictly cheaper or more readily available than piracy, but like steam or spotify it's delivered in a way that lets you legally pay for content that you can access however you like and with a structure that ultimately tailors itself to what you like and gives you suggestions and recommendations. we have unlimited 100mbit HFC and I still think its better to pull down TV shows from usenet during the day while no one is home than it is to have 3-4 people streaming the same poo poo 5 times. LAN traffic is free and the storage is already there to keep every episode of every show I ever want to watch, plus movies, and a gigantic dump of raw camera/gopro footage (which is why I have the storage in the first place) I might get my parents a trial of netflix though they seem pretty content just surfing the FTA channels. They already have access to anything Ive downloaded for them via a WDTV live and a USB stick and they rarely use it.
