No, you’re not alone. I’ve always expected from my managers that they will take my call if I need to speak to them. Likewise, if someone I manage needs to talk about anything, I’ll stop what I’m doing and listen. I think 1:1s encourage bo

> We may be seeing the biggest reversal in war since late WWI - defense may be stronger than offense again. Pretty sure once you’ve got that 300kW space laser up there someone is going to find an offensive use for it.

I have never been in a situation where my own mobile data didn’t work and the onboard Wifi did work. (as a seasoned commuter on TPE and LNER services). If it’s one less thing to distract the TOCs from you know, operating trains, then I say

Literally bought Surfshark a couple of days before exfiltrating his employer’s data using it, and bungled that anyway. How was this staggeringly incompetent person getting paid $250k in the first place ? I’m guessing Ubiquity didn’t see mu

Bluetooth: celebrating 25ish years of crappy UX. I can’t wait to see what headphone manufacturers come up with in order to let a user subscribe to an LE Broadcast … maybe by jabbing two or three side-of-head hardware button combos, wait 30s

This will not happen. If the government (or Ofcom if the bill goes through) is seen by the populace to be the cause of WhatsApp being withdrawn from British users the outrage will be deafening. No administration would do such a thing, eve

A few months of effort at home with our 6yo got him from being well behind in reading to caught up with his classmates. We had no idea he was struggling until his teacher told us. The effort at home involved gentle encouragement and keepin

Imagine two or three 30km radius circles taken out of the UK and how much that would cost.

Also not to mention that we’d have an additional 26 exclusion zones around blown up nukes. I’d like to see the authors back-of-the-envelope maths for the economic impact of the two or three in the UK alone.

I think swathes of free time (which sounds like you had at Amazon) with days on end of no meetings or commitments (or childcare) are the key. I just did 5 months between contracts. The kids were at school for 6 hours a day. It took a good

I’m chuckling at the fact Mark thought they had “too much social good to build” to be dealing with leaks. What happened, did things like this keep distracting them ?

Intra-region traffic (i.e. inter-AZ) being free would make way more sense to a customer. I’d really love to know what the marginal cost to AWS for this is though. I reckon there’s a very healthy margin in that 2c/GB.

The Y has a gigantic boot, 970l - over double this. Somewhat apples and oranges comparison. Not throwing shade on the ID.2 though ! it looks great (apart from the weird shaped steering wheel and massive touchscreen). And typical hatchback

I’ll recycle my comment from the DeLorean a few days ago… They lost me at the weird shaped steering wheel and massive touchscreen.

Use downstream Asahi and it probably already is. Read their todos, but much of it is “desktop” user related.

Looks like a decent improvement on readability of JSON IAM policy and the templating thing is cool. I’m a bit unclear on why they needed a new DSL to be able to do “automated reasoning” on policy effects though. It doesn’t seem semanticall

Every time I hang up a phone or video call on my bluetooth headphones, Apple Music opens on my mac and starts playing House Of The Rising Sun. I’ve just come to accept this now because there really is no way to stop it. I expect that at so
