  • Saw a headline that the MMR vaccine may be reduced in effectiveness after 40-ish years. It's all breaking news since people being so backwards as to not be vaccinated in numbers to allow this kind of study to even materialize in a world that has a proven cure is certainly recent.

  • Failure to act on Oracle rollout crashed Birmingham finances

  • Oracle exists solely on inertia and big, dumb, uninformed customers. They were an early mover in the space for erp, and then they tried to develop everything else. I work in HR and filter out jobs where "PeopleSoft" is their product as it's so monumentally unfit for human and operational use and eats up all technical, financial and employee resources to try to make it do simple, common things. Companies spend far more training, hiring consultants (because the product is unintuitive and limited in functionality) to operate the system and "customizations" that take years to build and a cadre of expensive folks to keep running is not the exception but the standard. If you see "Oracle" or "PeopleSoft" in the URL for a job application, run far, far away.

    20 years ago only big companies had a need for the scale of an erp, and unfortunately many of them went with Oracle. SAP was the other dog and while similarly unintuitive at least worked well at what it did, bless the Germans. There are soooo many better, more flexible more intuitive, modern products that users can learn and use to choose from, only the truly hopeless are still using Oracle products for ERP and HRIS.

    The most insidious part of Oracle is that because of how difficult it is to use, change, modify and learn, the people responsible for changing these systems experience Stockholm syndrome where they don't want to change to a better system. All they know is failure, pain, lack of comprehension and lack of understanding of products and the thought of starting over in another system mortifies them, and so they become the barrier to telling Oracle to piss off.

  • What are some awkward differences that would happen if an episode (pick an episode, any episode) of a medical drama or police drama took place in the legal environment where you live?

    Jump

  • So how would you propose to have a discussion about legal topics that you opened without tangentially discussing politics? Laws are passed by politicians, appointed or elected officials, through ballot measures by voters, or by mandate of autocrats.

    Genuinely curious how you think your thread could possibly not break the rule you're citing as law, by definition, comes out of a political process?

    You should remove your own thread, it sets up discussions the community claims it doesn't want to host .

  • To Americans of Lemmy: What food item(s) from Europe can you not live without?

  • Cheese, cured and uncured dried meats, dairy...actual food standards that protect consumers and aren't pumped full of antibiotics, they just taste so much better.

  • Hey mod/poster, you removed my reply, added one of your own that was down voted...are you applying for a US government post or what?

    Also, my post totally answered the prompt and you didn't cite any community rules as to why it was removed, so I assume it's because you don't understand or agree with it, which seems like a "you, poster" problem not a mod issue. You make Lemmy a worse place with this kind of abuse of mod responsibility.
