What was the undesirable behavior? Employing ~10,000 people that Cisco didn't need to employ and pay relatively high wages to? Or for cutting employees Cisco no longer has a need for? Should Cisco be forced to carry dead weight until i

Might as well have the headline "Cisco slashes thousands of workers as bologna sandwiches make a comeback" - it's a non sequitur...

The framing of the title is ridiculous. > Cisco slashes thousands of workers as it announces yearly profit of $10.3B What does profit have to do with lay offs? Cisco has no obligation to continue employing workers it does not have a need

If given the option, free of charge, to continue using electrified showerheads or using whole-home water heating... how many would continue to use electrified showerheads? The fact that they are only common in poor and impoverished areas, t

This assumes a bidet is objectively better than a regular toilet. That is debatable. It's not debatable these electric showerheads are objectively better, just because some poorer communities around the world use them.

Right, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the plethora of "shocking" tales regarding these water heaters. I can count on zero hands the number of times my shower has given me a jolt, even a minor one. We mostly see these type

Just in this thread alone we've found several stories of people being mildly shocked by these devices while on vacation. It's not that people die every day from these devices, it's that in general this isn't a great way

It's not the water that's the issue generally - it's the minerals in the water. The article author got lucky this time - when electronics die from water contact, it's usually the minerals bridging connections and creatin

Are appliances such as toasters considered a culinary utensil? Kitchen Utensil appears to be defined as `A kitchen utensil is a small hand-held tool used for food preparation.`[1]. Perhaps you don't actually need to submerge electronic

There's a reason you don't see this type of water heater in most of the world.

A lifetime appointment does not mean they are not accountable. The federal government was designed with so-called "checks and balances", and impeaching a federal judge is one of those checks and balances. Congress can impeach and

Your congressional representative can introduce articles of impeachment against any federal judge. You elected that representative to, you know, represent you. We also need to remain mindful that just because some law or policy isn't p

The SCOTUS decision basically told Congress they must write the laws instead of allowing agencies/departments to create their own "laws" that were not actually laws but were enforced like laws. So, no, the power did not shift

Perhaps user-facing apps/innovations, yes - but what about all of the other things they've contributed to the world? Kubernetes, Golang, V8, Chromium, and so much more. All of which are entirely free, as in beer kind of free. That

I was more making the point that a person building/choosing a computer for gaming is highly unlikely to consider efficiency at all. People who tweak timings, voltages, etc are typically doing so to eek out marginal performance benefits

Electricity costs is perhaps the last thing a pc gamer considers when choosing a new CPU. That's if they consider it at all... That would be like asking how many MPG's a rebuilt 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 gets... it was not built

The effects live on, unfortunately. Justice was not served as an outcome of that case. Today, people's mindshare is still largely with Intel, mostly due to nearly 2 decades of associated brand new computers, and performance with Intel,

Just a note, most mineral waters are not entirely natural, and contain added minerals and electrolytes. The water coming out of your tap, for instance, does not contain anywhere near the levels of minerals and electrolytes as a bottled mine

The point was about vendor lock, which you asserted is not a good reason to make a move, such as this. The "tangent" about a SaaS product was to make it clear what happens when you build your system in such a way as-to become enti
