Sorry for not being clear. I meant that the PM is fully aware of the law so he knows the answer, but asks anyway to get attention[1]. That is the non-story, not the court case itself. Unfortunately, it’s also a very easy story to write up b

Maddening indeed. And if I decide to save a copy of confidential.ppt to start a new presentation, the first saved version in the history will have all the confidential stuff in it, even if my first action is to delete them. Everyone who has

This is a non-story and the MP knows it. > Under English law, British media are restricted in their reporting owing to Letby’s upcoming retrial.

Is it meaningful to do linear regressions through clouds like the ones shown in Figure 1? https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/17456916241252...

Yes, running a stop sign isn’t good. This is pretty wild though: > The problem with these tickets — aside from being issued by a state park agency with no real authority to issue them — is that they’re technically not citations. It seems

I appreciate sites like this where they make an effort to systematically review products rather than just giving a superficial impression or repeating PR. https://www.notebookcheck.net/ or https://dpreview.com&#

Would ask myself these questions: Can he actually stir trouble with the 5%? His initial stake was worth $50k. How much has the company value changed during his incompetence? Is there anything else that can motivate him (such as a “left by m

Ugly situation. Does he have an employment contract and on what terms? In some jurisdictions even no written contract can mean an implicit default contract, so you should consult a lawyer. And you may need to prove that you warned him about

The yelling CTO and the Glassdor reviews are certainly a red flag for potential employees. But the company itself is interesting. They built an add-on for PowerPoint for which they charge more than MS charges for the entire Office Suite (my

Good that they keep their spirits up. Being sued like that can be very stressful. > We certainly want the case to be dismissed, but were it to go to discovery, it is possible we would discover things that merit an additional blog post.

Nice PR stunt. In their videos they show a 747 when the reality will be the less spacious Gulfstream G5. But perhaps that’s to show the ambition. The cost is $8k for London-NY one way (human + dog). At that price your dog should get some se

IIRC the EU has a rule that you need to mention their funding in all public announcements of a project / initiative (including signs on construction sites). Too many local politicians took credit for those projects, while else complain

No, because there's industries that have longer mandatory holding periods. U of W's reasoning is funny though: Compliance = "nobody can use our chat history to claim that we said something non-compliant". Likely the main

Fully agree. But the insensible default on most programs is “all notifications on all the time” and there are users who don’t know how to change it. Just had my message barge into an important presentation last week because the presenter go

I think the problem is that the receiver wants to be polite and answer. And the sender wants to be polite and not interrupt[1]. So the extended etiquette is: if you don’t have time, it’s ok to not reply. [1] There’s also the concern that yo

I'd be eager to learn more, but it seems that they have only published the topline figures [1] and some of their methodology [2]. Details will follow in a journal. Perhaps worth noting that development cost account for more than the ph

Reminds me of the Space Shuttle booster size being determined by Roman horses. But something seems off in the calculation. 2^12 microseconds for one frame would be awfully slow. [EDIT: I stand corrected below] > 12288 bits, which takes 2

Just went by taxi one way in a Mercedes, back with a Tesla. Similar mileage. The Tesla’s seats were already worn down so I could feel the steel tubes beneath the upholstery. The Benz was still fine. That’s better finish which I would care a
