What happens if Joe doesn't show up for work?

A lot of paranoia on this community :(

There's a few sign in checks (The variety makes me think Disqus or something similar.), a couple of keep alives, your phone registering for Wi-Fi calling, Fallback DNS requests, a couple of CDN requests which I would get is likely update checks and finally YouTube content for NewPipe. I think I'm seeing five tracking cookies based on the rest of your apps here, probably being sent "Do Not Track" requests.

You are right in saying you have two option, pay Joe based on work output (i.e. decrease his pay for the 4 widgets he now produces or take less profit.).

But there's more to you then just Joe and the widgets. There's the market buying the widgets, now everyone is working four days, has the demand for widgets changed? If this is a market where the demand is increased, you need more widgets, you can sell them at a higher price and hire more workers to increase output. If the market has now shrunk, Joe's reduced output is fine.

It took a lot of effort to reduce the work week down from around 80 where it was at the beginning of the century and from the purely economic perspective of "we will have less output and the country will fail" it didn't. Businesses did and guess what, it's likely because they weren't viable to begin with. Most workers on minimum wage currently can't survive an unexpected expense, the current system isn't paying enough to begin with. I'd argue lots of business right now should fail, because they aren't being run for those actually making the widgets. Joe is burning his labour for cash and the output is widgets. In this scenario, what are you doing to earn the $20? Supplying Joe the chance to make widgets? Is that worth $20 from Joe's labour?

Joe now has 72 hours off to rest and use his time more wisely. Joe uses this time to further his education follow a career in a different field other than making widgets. This may not make him more productive but he is happier. Eventually he will leave with his further education and move onto something more fulfilling, or just using the extra day to spend more time with his kids or doing whatever recreation he really loves. He will work on having a fulfilling life. You will move production to Bangladesh and bunch of people you are paying $5 a hour will die in a widget factory fire.

Like choosing cocaine over meth because the high is "smoother"

And not a single traffic light or mass transit option surely Robert Moses' proudest achievement

"Now technically this is just a side effect of allowing a government to control a TLD." I say, from feddit.nl, a country which is still trying to form a government based on hating Islam and supporting sibling marriage

Isn't this better to understand about what the program is trying to do, which a user really only has a passing influence on

How many transgender atheist athletes did he think was going to storm his house?

Remember, the original book was written with 100% sincerity and it was the film writers who turned Hannity into Colbert

There's also scans of their "travel re-imbursements" which has "Moon" as the destination

Do I want him to hold the tiniest bit of power? No. Do I want him live on TV every so often with interviewers who let him keep talking? Yes

It's funny to me that someone now has to say in an Apple boardroom every so often:

"So how do we make sure this isn't too successful in the EU?"

Am I allowed to think it's weird the entire open source community can't compete with SMB?

That's funny cause I blame the fall of the Soviet Union on all the famine

Seems like we make the mistake of forgetting about the bigotry as a means of trying to kill it

Did anybody even try sending Putin the "Imagine" video?

Sorry, at what point did the US benefit, let alone cause the lost decade?

Counterpoint please.

The maintainers of DHCP can't even be bothered standardising a query to check if an address is currently in use, doubt they could take on being a CA at the same time
