My goggle fu, though used only briefly, comes up with no quick link for the paper, “Death, the Priest, the Woman and the Cow: Chronicle of Research in the Village”. Anyone else have better luck?

Yes, and part of that is just preventing waste and saving work - I mean a blade grinder can get you a quantity of relatively consistent grounds after you sift them, regrind some, sift to separate, use the paper towel trick, etc., and now yo

If the deal is big enough, it’s absolutely on the table. These are “cost plus” contracts. See Walmart and the federal government for examples of consumers that require these terms. Now, the federal government, particularly with drugs pricin

As a brand, I think Bing is a boat anchor on anything it touches. I have positive regard for Copilot as a brand. However, it seems like it's getting saddled with a lot - developers have copilot, Windows has copilot, MS 365 has copilot.

Who in the 21st century still thinks classless societies are even possible? I can't think of a single attempt in reality that succeeded, and it's been tried across cultures and via different methods. It's always a good thing

About ten or more years ago in corp world I remember a trend to start adopting the term "good practice" rather than "best practice". I think this was a reflection of the idea that "best practice" was often a ba

You’re saying the legal name was Jama Software, correct? Had they registered a business name / DBA for the name “Jama”? Representing themselves as a different name in legal documents does seem ripe for issues. I’d imagine that even wit
