I worked at a place where the entire's company business (images) was stored on a single large drive, and the CEO was too cheap to buy a second, so there was no backup. Never underestimate how dumb people can be sometimes.

Who in their right mind would work this type of job? I suppose if you were going to get kicked out of your apartment, you might do this. Evicting people can be very dangerous, not to mention depressing.

When you listen to some of these early recordings, you realize how far ahead Job's thinking was from almost everyone else. Then you realize it took him decades to eventually ship these things. Despite being often a dreadful person to d

A friend of mine grew up calling them squarefish for some reason. It's like an abstraction of fish.

TikTok is one thing, but WeChat is essentially an operating system for everyone in China. I wonder if they will demand WeChat be removed from the App Store everywhere. Given you can't do any commerce, a US company (like Apple) likely c

Mac is not immune to this type of crap, I tried Corel Painter demo version and the updater it installed put up random windows with ads after a while until I figured it out and removed it.

I actually remember when Ada was in development - the US Air Force decided to use Jovial in the meantime (F16 in this case). From someone who worked at Lockheed he said there were still Jovial codebases in the past couple of years. Ada was

Or don't use Facebook at all for anything. Facebook makes money off of selling real people's information to anyone who pays; if some of them are fake, or the purchaser is fake, it's still money to Facebook. If the Facebook da

Maybe I am just strange, but I find no appeal in TikTok, and would not like something that just shows me more of the same things. But I can see how it might appear to people who just want to be stimulated with stuff.

Arizona having active shooters wandering the halls of public schools all day long seems like an unlikely problem. Even given the number of school shootings in the past decade the likelihood of a single classroom getting one is way less than

It was a great game. I also remember making gold master floppies for our products going back to 1987. It's actually a scary process because if you made any mistakes, you got back thousands-millions (depending on who you were) worthless

yes I have this, with some curation of the content, it's can be reasonably pleasant. If they get rid of the old UI, reddit becomes digg.com and dies a quick death.

It would be interesting to compare those with heart issue problems with covid infection, with those who had no issues at all, to see what the difference was. I still wonder if the initial viral quantity makes a difference, factors in your i

I went to a French baker in Dallas when I lived there, his breads were the most amazing food item I think I ever ate, everything was amazing and made in a very traditional French way. Not sure if its there any more (been 5+ years).

The more we learn of life, biology, chemistry and especially physics, the more interesting life becomes. Today it's harder to separate complete nonsense from a reality that hasn't reached sufficient consensus. All the reasons for

It's only a crime if you are convicted. No matter the circumstances being accused of something is not a crime. Seizing some property upon accusation and then returning it intact and unchanged if not convicted or no charges filed might

I'm not sure we can ever tell the difference between the two models. Given the assumption that both produce a "boring" universe, and that models are never completely verifiable, it could be that either pathway appears the sam
