Depends on where and when you are. Some hyped up dude is fixated on the next fix and lacks the executive function to discriminate. The more professional thieves are more discriminating.

Early in my career I drew the short straw to fetch a C level exec who was running a critical incident from a strip club and too drunk to drive. I had to pay the $90 three drink minimum to get in. Getting that reimbursed was fun.

We do. But the would-be modern nobility are quite happy with being a sort of feudal lord.

Yeah that’s why Webex is still in business. TVs are a great entry point to LANs.

You only need to grab a few pixels or regions of the screen to fingerprint it. They know what the stream is and can process it once centrally if needed.

There are a lot of bad places to work, and those are the types of places that do things like replace junior devs with AI. The place I work at is in the middle of a new CEO’s process of breaking the company. The company can’t go out of busin

I don’t think it’s venal, but the browser makers don’t represent the different constituencies that operate servers or end users in many capacities.

Oh for sure. This is stupid policy by an organization with no accountability to anyone, that represents the interests of parties with their own agendas.

Increasing the number of touchpoints dramatically increases the probability that the service will be unavailable and and a service impact.

It’s a stupid policy. To solve the non-existent problem with certificates, we are pushing the problem to demonstrating that we have access to a DNS registrar’s service portal.

It’s a neurological problem where people essentially have difficulty mapping written material to sounds. That’s difficult to measure objectively. Many schools lack the specialists who can spot this, and when they do, Teachers try different

The solution is, use a metal spoon. Wood is great for serving spoons, I have some fancy French ones, you just never dishwash and every few months wipe down with grapeseed or canola oil. For eating? Wood just is not a good material.

Yes! It started changing when the shifted from DVD which are sold based on the physical asset to the contract deal for content. Their objective shifted to occupying your time, and TV you’ll accept vs. movies you’ll love is a cheap way to do

Is it morally OK as long as they pay their 25% vig to POTUS? The concept of morality in this context is absurd.

Most of them are in the business of getting acquired, not the business of doing the business.

Don’t build them up. They are not monsters, just men. They are criminals who must be held accountable in the future.

I ran a shared services org in a Fortune 50. Enterprise costs don’t scale down well, and things that are absolutely essential to supporting 100k people sound insane for 100 people. Our senior leaders would sometimes demand we try and the CF

The greed/“capture all of the value” mindset of SaaS kills it, because you can infer the cost of delivery in many cases and beat it. For anything that is billed by the human, O365 is the benchmark. I’m not paying some stupid company $3

I think you’re closest to reality here vs the geopolitical stuff. I find it really interesting, because virtually none of my tech colleagues in the US would reach these conclusions.

Why should I have gone to college? My outcomes would be better if I were just richer, smarter and better looking.

What is the political element in Germany that makes these very public walk away from Microsoft viable? I’ve run projects for a few different employers to look at doing this. The math doesn’t math unless you can segment your workforce. For e

Maybe. I highly doubt Apple or any other company isn’t complying in some way. It’s been widely speculated that there are gentleman’s agreements where strategic bugs do not get fixed. To apple’s credit, unlike say BlackBerry, they designed i

Everyone is the star of their personal movie. They shine it up on their own. A good friend of mine had an awakening when he realized that his civil war ancestor suffered and sacrificed so that rich men could own other humans, and use those

The Victorians were talking about “ladies”, not the washerwomen and cooks. Ladies are delicate and slight. The earthy workers existed to toil, not be beautiful. That wasn’t their station in life.

The current narrative is that we are out of power so we must shut down power projects that are not politically prioritized, and build nuclear and coal capacity, which is.

The Germans in Africa were cruel and inhumane. But the concentration camp and modern military campaigns targeting civilian populations were not something alien to the British. Most well documented was in the Boer war: https://the

What was a tiny, broke, agrarian country just out of a civil war that was still simmering going to do about the Nazis? They had a well-justified disdain for being pulled into the British orbit. They chose neutrality. Do you hold Switzerland

It does. But more like “the black male with the red hoodie is here” They don’t say “hibf just walked into the 7-11” yet. The Feds probably have a system that can do that for car passengers traveling on “drug corridors” (ie. I95) today.

The Russians have actively sabotaged undersea cables belonging or connecting to NATO countries. What have they done about it? In general, states like Kansas are dependent on Federal money anyway, so they they don’t really contribute much. 1

Not yet. Facical recognition in 2025 is where LPR was in 2010. As the cost of compute and wireless communications continues to drop, facial recognition will be prolific. There are more limitations with cameras, but AI will make it easy to b
