   Is there a reason these companies can't award stock and have to stick with options?

   Sounds like someone needs to invent some sort of expansion joint. I assume its a hard engineering problem with significant trade offs.

   Isn't that what the ActiveRecord pattern is supposed to be? (Something something n+1's and over fetching data.)

   A direct proxy to BP seems valuable, could save many lives. I agree we'll want clinical studies to validate how precise/accurate this measurement is.

   More like running out of people willing to work at existing conditions, salary and employment terms.

   I appreciate the feedback. Any major reason or just generally unimpressed? Would be interested to hear what vendor(s) you prefer.

   I feel bad for people who've had that experience. I learned a lot of valuable, practical information and skills in my time at engineering school.

   I recall reading we only have oil reserves to meet our demands for 5-15 years if sourced exclusively from ourselves.

    I think DHH has done a decent job navigating some really tough situations. He's always forged his own path which by itself is impressive. I think partially it's just really easy to hate on someone in a powerful position who has be

    Over the years I have consistently heard bad things about working for IBM. This looks like a new data point in a long list.

    What baffles me is that the car doesn’t have any trouble plowing right into things which are visible in the GUI. It looks like it sees the cyclist and goes right ahead into them. Anybody have an explanation for this behavior?

    Is it just me or is $40 a month too much for the content they provide? I would spend a couple thousand on fancy exercise equipment, or maybe get one as a gift for my parents but the required subscription gives me rent seeking vibes.

    I wasn't aware of the issues described in the linked post about MobileIron exploits. Really interesting to hear about vulnerabilities in such a big MDM. https://blog.orange.tw/2020/09/how-i-hacked-facebook-ag

    Looks great. I recall Apple held out for a long time to play ball with enterprise IT, focusing on consumer. It seems like they've fully embraced the massive enterprise market.

    Obvious retaliation on apple’s part. Unfortunately that’s employment at will. Unions might be an answer but that’s a whole set of trade offs.

    Painful to read “When people say I changed the culture of Boeing, that was the intent, so that it’s run like a business rather than a great engineering firm.”

    I had a similar thought. Regardless of whether it is legal gambling, the mystery box aspect seems to be a gamification which relies on taking money for each turn to play. Each turn is a random chance at getting something super valuable (a

    All of this makes sense to me, except I have no idea how they fit 100tb of capacity in a box that small. Aren't HDDs maxing out around 16TB these days? They couldn't fit 6 drives in there.

    We have so many secret values it made sense to build our own internal product, an audited system which holds secrets in a backed up, locked down database. Apps pull from that system at runtime (or deploy time) but they can only access thei

    You might be less sensitive to the lag. I've seen annoyingly slow responsiveness on most recent dell laptops running windows or linux.

    They have widely used enterprise software too. I have to agree though, the dichotomy is pretty funny.
