I don't like Confluence either, but the platform is only 10% of the problem. Knowledge Management platforms are something that PMs love to debate, purchase, and use to get promotions. So you end up with a company that has 6+ platforms.

I think it is. Firing is horrendously expensive, so most companies will follow a progression of cuts before resorting to layoffs. They'll typically start with perks (e.g. travel / team entertainment / office space) and then p

As someone who gets pinged on Slack by random people throughout the day... these conversations are more articulate and unique than most of the people I work with.

They’re not just claiming circumstantial evidence. The plaintiff says they have FOIA documents describing confiscated Navy radar tapes that show an object striking TWA 800. Damning if true, but a lot hinges on documents we haven’t seen.

So why did the CIA produce a video about the fuel tank exploding, when that is something clearly within the purview of the NTSB? Why did they continue to devote resources when it was established that it was not a terrorist attack? Aviation

Yeah the fact that it was the CIA releasing the video always seemed like a red flag to me. Why were they even involved in the investigation? Why didn’t those statements come from the FAA?

They’re being sued for misleading statements about their sustainability: https://www.thefashionlaw.com/hm-is-being-sued-over-misleadi... Don’t fall for their narrative.

It is a subliminal response to protect oneself from guilt and fear of change / death.

Agree, and re-hydrating projects that have been left sitting for more than a few months invariably leads to dependency mismatch hell.

Other levels of gov have funding issues, but not federal. In fact, big appropriation bills often create these mega-procurements that companies like BAH latch on to. Government's ability to attract people who could execute a project lik

Honestly recreation.gov is one of the few government websites that has a “good” user experience. I’m not a fan of BAH but I think they executed well in this case. While $184M may sound like a lot, compare that to the $200M+ that was spent o

Yes and to add: if an SMS’ sender ID successfully spoofs another number, the message would appear threaded into an existing “legitimate” conversation.

One thing that many people don’t know is that SMS caller IDs are also being spoofed more frequently. In the article the author mentions noticing that the authentication code came from a number the bank didn’t ever use. Sophisticated scammer

For some systems it seems as though a prisoners dilemma develops where communicating in bad faith can give one actor an edge over another. In company environments I think it’s a factor of size and what core leadership will tolerate. With a

And it’s especially easy to fake invoices since most local govs need to publicly post contracts and contract value. I wonder if there is some phishing going the vendor’s direction as well where the city requests to review the next invoice.

One of the major points I took away from Lessig’s Republic, Lost is that these campaign donations trackers are unable to factor in the credible threat of a donor funding an opponent. The dollar amount may be relatively low, but the value to
