I am confused because you're mixing things from UK, US and russia in this post which obviously all have different laws. I'm not sayig you're wrong it's just confusing beause the situations from different countries aren&#

Yes I sat in on a meeting where one of our customers talked about the big fans in building air movers and how inefficient the cheap pressed metal fans are. But you don't want to spend shit loads of money on a big fancy shaped more effi

The biggest deal for these taking off was that they just worked on Windows without any special drivers or messing around. It made them appear magic. People lost their minds over how much easier and better they were than all the other stuff

Fans are a big deal. Imagine if you could improve the efficienty of every fan in the world by 5%. Aircon units, air movers, cooling, yadda yadda.

Without getting bogged down in specifics there's definitely a sense sometimes that laws and policies are set by people who rarely set foot outside London.

We’re an IT company and haven’t supplied HP for a while now because of stupid shit like this.

It's a thing - more accidents these days with hybrid and keyless, so if you get distracted it's not immediately obvious that you've left the car on and the engine might kick in randomly later. https://www.nytimes.c

So who uses which data source? You can guarentee that people just pick the one that suits their objective. Here we just state "deaths within 28 days..." no qualifier. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ But at the bo

I was shocked reading further down, “ 1) A death in a person with a laboratory-confirmed positive COVID-19 and either: died within 60 days of the first specimen date or died more than 60 days after the first specimen date, only if COVID-19

In the UK at least a death where the person had tested +ve for covid within a certain (quite long) time period was recorded as a covid death. So you catch covid, recover, then get hit by a bus. Covid death. Meanwhile some countries report n

Ha. Installing Adobe reader, afterwards you open it and have to go through an awkward semi manual step to set it as default because Microsoft would prefer you to use Edge. They pop the dialogue in one place then it moves up and to the left

In the UK at least they're the 4th largest car manufacturer by volume, no mean feat for a premium product.

Not true, there's way less NOX and particulates, all the stuff that's bad for people in urban environments.

All the more reason for official complaints rather than whisper lists, yes?

Just because you don't perceive justice to have been done is some other situations doesn't mean we should abandon any attempt at it in others.

It does. But sadly this alleged list will now just become a football for politicians to play with, whispered allegations of who might be on it to damage your opponents, no recourse for those accused. And I really don't agree with the s

But how... I mean presumably they don't install a root cert on every client device?

That is very interesting. But I think the answer to the parents question about why people are not boarding rubber dinghies from the UK to India is that in absolute terms poverty is not the same in the two countries.

First few years are hard. Not just because of the work and the sleepless nights but also the adjustments to you and your partners lives. You need to look directly at that and swallow it down. Embrace the new normal. Allow each other to have

He says in 4 weeks but it's actually 1 year and 4 weeks. It was a PITA feature anyway for the family plans, requiring the domain be hosted on GoDaddy. I can't imagine it was a super popular feature.

Sometimes you want LDAP open to other places for auth and directory sync, ideally it should be IP restricted but some people don't do that for various reasons.

Good point. I guess there's so much going on with various types of caching and wear levelling that 'let the device figure it out' is best. And the queue can be on the device now with NVME not on the host so its not a dumb que

I guess that made sense when the standard HDD block size was 512b. Then it went to 512/4kb then pure 4kb, not sure what SSD's do maybe also 4kb? Experimenting with speeds and block sizes in the past has shown very quickly diminish

Why would 'the bosses' not simply let her go, if she was still in her probation period? What would they stand to gain by this approach?

As I understand we we're not 'reverting', it's just not going to be illegal to use the old measures any more.

It's a de-coupling device also. Like the same set of legs might go on 5 different pieces of furnature. You might have to stock legs in 5 locations. But having all the racks at the end means only 1 location to stock legs. Multiplied by

I don’t know what the laws are in your country but consider putting them on gardening leave until they vest. I think this sends the right message to everyone.
