Is the 30-50% of face value realistic for "Liquidation Value"? If one organization has to liquidate, sure. But if the bubble pops and many groups have to liquidate at once? Owners will be lucky if they can dodge the recycling fees

> You will send out some C signals. That’s inevitable. We all did. Never, never send out the same C signal twice. And make sure the balance of the signals are that you are a B. This bit is important. It's not great if a new hire nuk

I've actually run into this in the wild, with regards to sales forecasting. A program we were using returned zero if the error bars on a forecast were over 100%. For example, selling somewhere between 1 and 7 units, but averaging 3. Re

Once you get a byte-by-byte duplicate, you can start refactoring into idiomatic Rust. Convert pointers to references, rip out unsafe blocks, and let Clippy go ham.

Paypal does what? I'm sometimes nervous I only need 2 factors of authentication. 0FA seems dangerous for financial anything.

There's always something else at play. Bufferbloat hides problems from the systems that can easily solve them. It doesn't cause problems, it makes them worse.

If worker productivity keeps increasing, we may reach a point where it exceeds total labor required. If we keep livelyhood tied to employment, the only two options would be busywork or mass starvation.

Instead of giving people makework, we could move towards divorcing "livelihood" from "employment".

Isn't Greece's unemployment rate the highest in the E.U.? Yes, they may be "low-quality" workers applying for jobs, but if a company can't find "high-quality," they must make do. How did we lose the art of

Form does follow function, at least at first. Skeuomorphism only happens because the original had design compromises that looked cool. I think we humans will happily sacrifice aesthetics if it improves something we care about. Unfortunately

That one's pretty standard. When the lab is about to run out of money, they fluff up an incremental improvement as a 'major breakthrough'. No false claims or fake science involved.
