Didn’t Mr. Bolton said that China was asked to help with re-election? If that’s the case then this is just another political distraction.

Which is why Twitter is probably the GoTo for news.
I don’t see how this makes any employee productive. This adds more stress imo. An employee gives you 8 of their 12 hour day. Now, you tell me if that works only for you - the management. They’re people just like you. They have a life just like you. They have responsibilities similar to you. They might have a family similar to you. There’s no fucking way they can manage all this, giving you a focused 8 hour. They might need a few mins to pay a bill, lookup a medication, place a personal Online order. And many other activities that come with “living”, being alive.
I am certain most managers that implement this are antisocial fucks. It’s poor management. Uneducated decision making.
Now, it does has its place. For example in highly secured environments or when dealing with highly sensitive documents. But for a small or regular office, no!
HR/Payroll companies such as ADP and Insperity need to start setting ground rules. I know that they’re in favor of the employer, however, it would make good on them.
There was a github issue opened, and after several followed up complaints they blocked further commenting and the removed then ticket.
Subject of the ticket [plaid/link] privacy/security concerns (#68)
I joined a company recently that has a simple app for end users to take orders over the phone, perform lookup and refunds. Something that can be built in a few days, seriously. When I looked at the code - WTF!!! The previous dev over architected this thing. Unnecessary layers, interfaces etc. one simple change can take hours.
I think developers need a little bit of management experience to understand the impact of these complexity. At the very end, companies just want something usable to stay in the game...a Honda and not a Rolls.
1. Payment processing. You’re forced to use their Shopify Payments. There’s no flexibility for managing that via API. Once something goes in there it’s stuck. Our particular requirement entails tokenized card info. And we needed to access the tokenized card for recurring orders. Shopify told us that was impossible. And want us to use one of the handful subscriptions app, which btw, also have no flexibility. We then hired a 3rd party to see if they can extend the cart...nada. So, if you already have an internal recurring/subscription system - trust me, Shopify will not work for your e-commerce platform. Dont waste your time.
2. Most of the apps are shady. We spoke with two regarding upsells and cross-sells, they couldn’t give us a clear answer if our customer data they collect will never be shared or sold.
The platform is for small self managed stores.
It definitely has an A+ front end, but the backend needs to be more flexibility for the enterprise.
Time to start looking into an alternative - suggestions anyone?
Their UI is great, but too freaking restrictive.
