Just some statistics can help. My family doctor has some kind of awful green screen practice software but amazingly it has prognosis statistics for certain lab diagnostic results. Makes for better discussion about treatment plans.

I suspect that GP believes that US-supported strongmen and right wing dictators in Latin America were US adversaries, rather than useful, crafted actors for US interests in their countries, who were managed and supported until and unless th

Excellent change in perspective from all the legacy endpoint focussed techniques. Working in SaaS we’ve got some, but not all, of these in our risk lists. Time to do more brainstorming. Thanks for the inspiration.

Immunity from prosecution seems like a marvellous way to destroy rule of law. Crazy that that and royal^H^H^H^H^H presidential pardons exist. Recipe for corruption of the state and then the justice system.

I contracted for a telco who held a national emergency number contract, and after they fired all the old engineers and the inevitable outages started happening, had to budget a significant amount per month for flowers for families of the de

I’m really hoping that Alice is the principal of the business, and chose to name it as a hat-tip to her fictional and real namesake.

The transitions in the Dutch cities that were triggered in the 60s (safer biking routes mostly through grade separation and traffic calming retrofits) really began to bear fruit in the 1980s. I’ve been visiting Copenhagen long enough to see

A very Dutch statement: “When you cannot go back to the past, you have to find new ways.” It’s interesting their pragmatic, modernist (before that was a thing?) take on people’s relationship with the world. At heart they seem to be quite co

Train and bus normally have that “10-20 minutes ahead” planning to be at the station. Planes? At least an hour, and if you cut into that, and the queues or security theatre more mind boggling than normal, you’ve missed your flights. Eurosta

I worked in 600 person scaleup in Europe with a similar strategy to what you describe. Office admins covered most of the process, a smart (and bought-in shareholder) lawyer spent a couple of hours a quarter reviewing template employment con

Maybe interesting for those who want to teach or learn a language is languagetransfer.org and the “Thinking Method Guidebook” at https://www.languagetransfer.org/s/TMG-1ST-EDITION-FINAL-Goo... - an interesting approach

There’s a central-London IKEA scheduled to open soon on Oxford Street on the Fitzrovia side - I think it’s the old Oxford Circus TopShop site. I’m looking forward to it!

I worked at a place where they took VC backed rounds even though they didn’t need a cent to get access to the VC networks’ businesses for fat client business and keen supplier discounts. They seem to run like a kind of clan structure, and g

Adyen was a B2B fintech startup that made profits as it hit scaleup, and hasn’t looked back. Wise is a B2C play, listed too and seems sustainably profitable. I think the people behind both of these are connected, so my bet is that there are

Unfortunately this is related to acme.sh, a shell script tool to request new and replace free certificates. So far, this GitHub issue is quite disturbing.

Structuring information is one of the ways that your work is read and understood by your readers. This should be a priority unless you’re writing is just for social status, funding or compliance reasons, surely?

Me too, but just a week ago. I’m finding the StarLite Mark IV to be exemplary for the price. There are a couple of things that I’d like to change on the hardware front, but no show-stoppers. Excellent build quality, extremely portable and p

You’re missing the terminals in an academic music library in Perth, Western Australia, and terminals in a local jail there too. Term-talk, and the games, and p-notes were transformational for some of us, who later went on in tech roles.

Online key or certificate generators too; I once caught a subsidiary of one of the two biggest credit card schemes using PGP keys that they’d generated on a random site somewhere preparing to use it to protect 100M card numbers. Luckily san

I hope I didn’t build that system. Sorry. The design is giving me flashbacks to the mid-90s in oil and gas.
