If your org has a fiscal year that begins in the middle of the calendar year (July 1), there might not have been the budget to do the upgrade until months away. Compounded with general upgrade procrastination...

Yes? But it’s been in research for a decade or two, based on a quick search. It’s confusing to me because moly d is a very common lubricant, even for home uses.

There are some from the Pocket disliking group that have made comments here. I bet most don't care that much. The vast majority of people using Firefox don't care at all. And then the people are significantly affected, the Pocket

For any timeline the company can't hit, whether it's a week or 90 days, they should come up with compensating controls, detections, etc that users can implement. Managing vulnerable software isn't a new science. > The secu

I got my tattoo when I was about half my current age. I wasn't too worried about not liking it later -- I'd wanted the idea for a few years, and I figured that it'd be a good memory if I changed later. I didn't change la

I'm going to paint with a fairly broad brush here, for which I apologize. But it lines up with the majority of the politically outspoken people I'm referring to. For context, I grew up in the south. I also regularly disagree with

We'd still get the same pressure to give an A+ to every interaction unless things were fucked. I used to rate three stars for what "performs as expected" until I realized that it's punishing good products. Switch to A-F

I regularly get to hear veterinarian rants. AI is being forced on them by the corporate owners in multiple fronts. The pattern goes: Why aren’t you using the AI x-ray? Because it too often misdiagnoses things and I have to spend even more t

AI search results (not just Google's) are so frequently incorrect that this would be disastrous.

It's not hard to set up nearly fault proof routines and reminders. For example, I have a pill container for the days of the week. Pills go directly into my pocket and don't come out unless they're going in my mouth (almost al

I'm sure it'd be content specific, but in a thread about technical discussions (_especially_ in fields with information that can be just as valuable a decade later) it seems totally fine. Those forums seem to be okay with it, thou

My grandfather was well known at work for, uh, creative sayings. Malapropisms, misheard cliches, or just wild-ass new phrases. His coworkers took to secretly writing them down over the years, and they read them off during his retirement par

I used to think that the up voting mechanic was the future of the internet. Now I think that it's a perverse incentive that requires very heavy handed moderation to not suck (AKA more free labor), and that time decaying posts can disco

I'm not sure if the common core curriculum that came about in 2010 is proving you right or wrong, given the vehement "that's not mah math!" response that it got from the public. But it's still the adopted standard i

I can't speak to the UK at all, but I've met less than five people who started their government jobs right out of high school or college. They'll be able to retire on their pension 33 years later at about 3/4 of their ma

Pay is a common one from the employee's side. From the manager's side, it nearly takes an act of fucking god to open up a new position. Citizens pay attention to the number of employees, and they get mad about it. You really don&#

The idea that everyone is either full lazy or not lazy is a bit reductionist. People change their behavior with the right (or wrong) stimulus. Also, I won't remotely claim that it's the case here, but external pressures regularly
