They don’t. Unless you count giving a Lebanese Hizballah illegal a security clearance, which might have been due to something other than the polygraph but is hard to reconcile with any background check actually being performed. Polygraphs c

The last thing I need is another landfill keyboard, and I've got dozens of spare power cables. Totally sign me up for unbundling those.

And NBN's wholesale charges are comparable to what a retail ISP in a competitive market (e.g. Stockholm) charges for symmetric 10Gb/s FTTP. https://www.itnews.com.au/news/nbn-co-puts-future-residentia...

$500 is a low-end, made-in-China sit/stand desk. For one made in the US with a hardwood top, it could be $2000 or more, not including monitor arms and other useful accessories. My chair at home actually only cost $500 because it was th

I've used the €50 keyboard; it's certainly better than the €5 keyboard (at retail) that ships with most desktops, but it's still not anywhere near as good as a Kinesis or Maltron, the cost of either is less than 1‰ (so a roun

50% match on the 401(k) is nothing special; a federal government employee who puts in 5% gets a 5% match (1% agency automatic, 3% 1:1 match, 1% 1:2 match). The great part is that there's no cap beyond that imposed by the IRS.

Offline backups are about the easiest thing you can do, and they protect against pretty much everything. Air gaps are useful, but they're just a connection with unusually high latency. Network monitoring protects against zero-days.

Two fresh grads working 60 hours a week are about as productive as one fresh grad working 40 hours a week. That may be good for someone, but not the company.

The only surprise here would be that only 17% of the fuel is smuggled, but there's no way in hell it's that low. Perhaps 17% is smuggled by non-IRGC-connected entities.
