Too late. Its those with money versus those without money. And those without don't count. And if you work for a living, you don't have money.

Yeah, but where are the performance numbers? :D

Usually a root-cause analysis asks for five why's so your analysis seems a bit short. One should ask why it is that housing / land is more profitable than those investments in which banks and private equity previously invested. A

The Mythical Man-Month calls for a single person to be responsible for the design of a system. Steve Jobs was that guy for Apple. But once he left, there was no one strong enough to define the system across the whole company.

I was going to say that this is how genetic algorithms work, but there is still too much human in the loop. Maybe code husbandry?

Engineering practices are written in blood. No one bleeds from software bugs (excluding things like Therac 25 which is classified as a medical device) so programmers will never be engineers.

I've often said security doesn't matter anymore. There are no consequences for a security breach. With companies claiming "hey, we followed best practices!" and transferring liability to third parties like Crowdstrike

That would make leasing the better option because at the end of the lease the leaser has to take them card back....no worry about selling something on one wants to buy.

Facebook could also pay a subsidiary to fraudulently click on the ads. While this might sound extreme and paranoid, this is exactly the kind of thing corporations do to transfer risk and create plausible deniability.

Credit spends exactly the same as cash. All outstanding credit card debt is essentially an increase in the money supply.

Because they already own those assets and don't want anyone else to have them. The perception of wealth is always relative so if I can't make any more to maintain my status I must ensure that others can't get what I have.

I'll say it again: no one cares about security. First, no one is ever punished for having security breaches: companies outsource security specifically to avoid responsibility (using contract law to transfer risk). Second, the MBA menta

Process efficiency is about doing less to achieve an objective than you used to. This is the idea behind LEAN. If companies keep adding tasks then this is the exact opposite of LEAN. The only way doing more tasks makes sense is if said

That is why I do not like the American traffic signaling system. When the light turns red cross traffic has a two to three second delay. My feeling is that if people knew the cross traffic would go immediately when the light turned red they

In my experience if it doesn't happen in a meeting it doesn't happen.

Most people don't want actual security. They want "good enough" security which provides the illusion of security. Because even when "good enough" security fails there are no consequences so "good enough&quo

Holy cow was that forecast bad! It reminds me of a meeting long ago where the marketing team reported that oil was going to hit $400/bbl and that this would be great for business. I literally laughed out loud. At that price, gasoline

I very much appreciate the fact that the OP posted not just the code developed by AI but also posted the prompts. I have tried to develop some code (typically non-web-based code) with LLMs but never seem to get very far before the hallucina

The most insidious version of this I experienced was when a library changed the FPU settings. Fortunately, it was sufficient to reset the FPU settings after initializing the library. But it sure took a long time to figure out what happened!

So in this simplified model, consumption is like a mobius strip in that while the mobius strip only has one side, income can only come from the consumption from spending. The fact that they included it on both sides of the equation seems po

I've always disliked economics because it never seems to make much sense. The first equation in the article -- the basis on which the entire premise rests -- just feels wrong. > Spending is either on the consumption of goods and ser
