Same as all the others, they're planning a premium tier with enterprise functions, hoping that enough happy free tier customers will help convince enterprises to sign up.

I think you misremember. The cause of the fire on Air Canada flight 797 was never conclusively determined; a cigarette could not be completely ruled out, but was deemed very unlikely. Smoking culture was a contributing cause since it made

My thoughts exactly. But it's a tricky argument as well, because from the point of view of the victim, they're not actually being restrained.

My point was that other interpretations result in an equally, if not more plausible story. Additionally, I'd say that none of them result in a fully plausible story, and that the author wrote it like that intentionally. And I vastly

It is a possible interpretation, but certainly not the reasonable one.

It sounds like you missed the main point of the author: the blog-CMSs did not just impose a certain look, they also imposed some fundamental assumptions about the content, namely that content is produced as a steady stream of distinct &quot

I imagine the author giggling manically at seeing different people fully convinced of and vehemently agruing about their contradicting interpretation of what the story is an allegory for.

I think it makes more sense to think about "different selves", and that it can be an enriching experience to let the non-default ones out more often.

"over" does not mean "to the complete exclusion of". The point is that documentation by itself doesn't deliver any value, and there are diminishing returns with amount and detail level of documentation. Agile does

That doesn't make the statement any less ridiculous. What was the ultimate reason for the 737 MAX debacle? That airlines want to save money on type rating training. Look at accident reports, and half the time the airline's safety

Sounds to me more like a bug in an edge case rather than trying to optimize for the wrong thing. Or (more likely, I think) the first deadhead was planned to have the pilot take over a flight which was then cancelled after the pilot was alre

Yes, of course the false positives can become so frequent that it's not tolerable. But that absolutely does not mean that allowing none at all is a sensible goal, because that invariably means more false negatives. And the article does

Aluminum is used for pressed (readonly) CDs. You're right about the rest.

by brazzy 4y ago
Ruling out false positives most definitely should not be the highest priority when it's about saving people's lives. Note that even the emergency personnel directly involved are not arguing that the feature should not exist or onl

AFAIK, there are no aluminum based CD-Rs, the silver-looking ones actually have silver or silver alloy reflective layer.
