I have inadvertently made a name for myself inside Salesforce for migrating people off of it in short timeframes. My last meeting with them for a company, they asked if I was the same [Name] who worked with X, Y, and Z, all companies I move

I didn't dismiss it at all. I directly answered you. While plenty of things change despite inertia, plenty of things do NOT change. We've known about the benefits of no till, cover crops, crop rotation, etc. for centuries and they

It's usually lack of knowledge/understanding and simple inertia, "this is how we've always done it."

They get away with it because of their dominance in the market, that's why the gov't needs to take action. They're so huge there are no real competitors for customers to turn to.

Government regulation is critical to a healthy market economy. No economy should be totally unregulated as it will end in a monopoly. Instead you need a moderate level of regulation to prevent people from abusing positions of power. That&#x

No, I don't think this time is different. We've seen ARM CPUs outselling x86 CPUs for a decade or more, the problem isn't the hardware, it's the software. x86 has better backwards compatibility than any other CPU that ha

People have been talking about the irrelevance of x86 since the 80s. I remember the early 90s when "Intel is doomed" was daily news and opinion fodder.

That value is unlikely to be significantly different than safe takeoff conditions. Yes the booster is lighter at landing, but launch is way more dangerous with larger error margins and more conservative condition requirements.

Check out BlyncLights from Embrava. Much simpler and cheaper. I've installed them in a few companies and have one at home so my wife knows when I'm in a meeting or free.

Exactly. I get just as much from my people if not more when they're remote because I hire good people with good work ethics. They're responsible people who do the jobs I trust them to do. This is just control-fetish appeasement.

You have to hurt the bully enough to dissuade further action, not simply stand up to them. I had a couple bullies in high school, and in the rare times I was forced into a fight, I made sure they were unable to get up without help. That put
