I always wonder if people live in such bubbles they really don't know or can't even perceive the struggles others deal with. To me it tends to feel disingenious most of the time. When I encounter these sort of retorts I like to si

I started to list out the amount of MFA and frequency I do regularly and it exhausted me just writing it out. Suffice it to say I'm forced through all sorts of MFA with various passwords, PINs, Yubi keys, phone authenticators, and even

I think you have a valid point, although I think it should probably be the "decimillionaire next door" to keep up with inflation and retain its original meaning. This is a case where the floor dropped out and the ceiling is fallin

It doesn't appear to be ab initio simulated (e.g. QED up) if that's what you're asking. They appear to swoop in at higher scales (molecular level) and simulate molecular interactions across "hundreds of molecular species

I assume your CIO also took a LC interview as well. I believe parent's point is that this front line hazing commanding competency is moot when orgs are hierarchical in nature and you needent step far up from a leaf node in an org chart

That doesn't rule out internal incompetence and/or just dealing with network infrastructure complexity. Remember not too long ago when AWS and Facebook were down for a fairly significant time period? I'd hardly call either or

Behaviors often vary at different scales. At a macroscopic level you're correct, this movement is exaggerated based on the coverage to overall economic significance (most of its all inflation driven), but at, let's say, a mesoscop

From my experience, as a non-Apple user, they are the absolute worst. I bought a family member an iPad for Christmas. They had an Apple account associated with their iPhone. They forgot their password. No big deal, I'll just reset thei

Although Halliburton can create the situation of pressures where the government conscripts you to war but the level of indirection for control over you is inconvenient. So we're really just making it a bit easier and cutting out the mi

I mean, I do the exact same (I did it Friday), but I don't think this is counter to my point. It's not because I don't want to fix something so I avoid it, it's because fixing it puts me behind on other tasks (that com

I think most software engineers know when it's time for maintenance. The issue is that the people who write their paychecks don't want to hear it.

It's probably seen more as a herald of things to come. SpaceX will not be the last private entity throwing things in orbit. There have already been concerns about the amount of space debris that currently exists and coordinating it to

I'd be surprised if the positions weren't already public data. Surely the US government requires or pressures knowledge of the positions since its a US based company and the satellites could certainly interfere with things NASA an

When looking at robotics is also good to consider not just economics but safety. There are situations you simply don't want to put a human into where robotics shine, usually in some form of emergency response in hazardous situations. N

People tend to overestimate how reasonable it is to become a real competitor. Just because someone's sitting on a fluffy market with fat margins doesn't mean competition will just fly in and regulate pricing structures down for co

I'm hoping it just means Diablo 3 released sooner since Microsoft has a mountain of resources. I'm curious how game development is under the large tech companies like Microsoft. Game development is notoriously recognized as a slav

How many are subscribing to competitors to watch backlog? If they are, it's going to be short lived where folks subscribe for a month or two, hit the target backlogs in binge mode, and move along. I have a few streaming services and ra

Competition is only healthy if a reasonable baseline of safety nets exist for those who lose the competition. We don't have those safety nets most of the time and it leads indirectly to harmful consequences for those involved, making i

Not necessarily. You're at a disadvantage because you've suddenly lost the total leverage you once (thought you) had. It's still possible for the org to redeem itself. The issue is, no org takes the opportunity. Part of the i

It's perfectly OK to blame the agile manifesto. Part of the issue with the agile manifesto is it was written by developers, which makes it sound credible. In addition, you have a lot of cult adoption by developers, which made it diffic
