Reputable auditors care more about maintaining their reputation that pleasing a small client. Obviously nobody would trust an audit by the owner's cousin, but an established cybersecurity firm should be fine regardless of how it is fun

If your company uses post mortems to blame individuals rather than fix processes and tools, you haven't worked in a professional environment.

Never humiliate a coworker in public. Instead say "both options were considered but ultimately it was decided to select option B for reason Y."

PD profiles are grouped by wattage and consumers shouldn't have to do mat to see how fast their phones will charge. Surely they could be classed by the fastest PD profile they support.

There needs to be a standard for labeling cables though. Like putting the data speed and PD wattage on the cable end perhaps.

Do you realize it's third party sellers, not Amazon, that are doing the price gauging? And Amazon is trying to stop them? It doesn't appear you are responding to anything at all related to the article.

The only reason anyone ever cared transistor count is because that is a rough proxy for measuring speed.

Oh I completely agree that basic desktop computing is still reasonably responsive on older CPUs; I'm just pointing out that the mere idea of a six year old CPU being called "pretty fast" by current standards would have been u

No, I'm saying Moore's Law suggest(s|ed) that every 18 months your chip's speed relative to current offerings is about half what it was. And this old chip has had four cycles of that exponential decay. I just built a 12 core

A six year old CPU can still be described as "pretty fast?" Moore's Law really must be dead and buried.

Add cold fusion to the list. That said, breakthroughs that would be phenomenally beneficial and aren't prohibited by physics are worth throwing money at decade after decade due to the risk/reward ratio. It's like playing the

Evolution only cares about whether you have viable offspring. Beyond that longevity could be a harmful feature because the long-lived would be competing with the fertile individuals for resources.

You think mean comments are a SO or reddit problem? The fact that anonymous online discourse gets rude and heated has been known since the days of usenet. There was even some of this on BBS forums, but that was a more civilized time, likely

Do you find upgrading low end CPUs to be less expensive overall than going straight to mid range CPUs and skipping the upgrade cycle?

They are comparing it against previous gen gaming CPUs to help people trying to decide if it is worth upgrading.

If you have no competition, you do have the luxury to choose between profitable and ethical. But if you have fierce competition, there isn't always a choice - market forces will drive out the more principled operators of business in fa

A case can be made that making profitable misconduct legal DOES force businesses to misbehave because those that don't take full advantage of the law will be at a disadvantage to those who do. Furthermore, shaming one company to change
