Japanese has many ways to say "you". It's weird because indirectness can be more polite, so a formal way of saying "you" in context in a sentence might not include any words that would translate to "you" in the dictionary. And the subject is optional, just to make things extra fun.
The other question, about casual ways to say "you", is easier to answer... It depends on the dialect and where you're from in Japan.
They're profiting from FOSS, nobody is trying to prevent them from doing so, but they refuse to spend small amounts of money helping out part-time coders ... and you know why. That money is going to the mid-level managers themselves.
Do the right thing and help your company in the medium run, or pocket chump change? Yeah, easy answer.
The security risk is the problem, right? If you can get a a new password sent to an email address for the person who owned it before you, that's an interesting attack vector.
Yes, shaving one's own head with clippers on a short setting is not hard to learn and do well. It's incredibly convenient although it does limit what you can do with your hair. But the time saved is so wonderful.
If you have to keep in mind that the ruling class is always fighting against itself. So when you say they could do whatever they wanted, actually that's not exactly true. Throughout history they've often been killing each other and locking each other up.
Although people mention efficiency, for many setups we just don't care. If it ain't broke for you, don't fix it. Wait, revisit the issue a year or two from now.
We choose how we act, but we don't choose how we feel at certain times. If we get nervous, scared, or embarrassed, for example, willpower alone won't change that.
Of course there are various ways of adjusting how we react or display emotions, so all hope is not lost. Those take time and practice.
I disagree, because most of them won't give us boxes to permanently hide it or disable it... They deny choice because they know that most of us would turn it off. They are selling snake oil and know it.
I think it defies common sense, but it sounds good if you only think about it for 10 seconds.
Your position seems to be such that many people, like me and probably some of the other commenters, should have to work until the day we die. We have been working full-time our entire adult lives. We're somewhat educated. We're doing the best we can, but there's no way we could possibly afford to purchase property. So when we get old and gray, when we're 85 years old, maybe you're going to see us working the door at Walmart because there's no other option under your system. And who's benefiting from us paying rent our entire lives? Landlords, but more specifically very rich people who invest in real estate. In other words, they are stealing our retirement to get richer when they're already filthy rich.
And that's not the kind of society I will ever support because I don't think the filthy rich bastards deserve any more money than they already have. They only get it by taking it from us and we need it more.
People love to say that we have to have landlords because otherwise no one could rent. Great! So then, let's have not-for-profit landlords or public housing.
Also, here is a basic refresher on "what something is worth". If you're drowning and someone offers to sell you a life vest for your life savings, then you might pay it so that you don't die. Immediately after that you would pass laws to prevent them from ever doing that kind of horrible shit again. At least, you would do that if you had an ounce of empathy... Do you?
One option for some people, not everyone, is to just do your project on your own time and equipment and share it online. Don't tell your boss, but make sure that some random people out there are forking it. Probably the boss never finds out, but even if they do, they won't do anything.
Obviously this is slightly risky, but for many people it is a reasonable move. All depends on the details.
You are repeating what your employer told you, not the actual law. Of course hiring lawyers would be expensive so it's best avoided, which is why OP is here.
Thanks! I'll give it a go.
