Hardware keys are not great. You use a company laptop and they have disabled usb or set off an alarm when you plug something in. It should be based on phone however, since thats the one thing everybody cant live without and usually have on

Some countries will mandate electrics, but ICE engines will be the mainstream globally for the next 20 years and still common for at least a couple decades after that.

Seems like the preventative maintenance person would be rewarded. I would also think the car mechanic since they can obtain a car at a lower price. For budgeting, I’ve tried to just arrive at a cost per month of ownership for a car with exp

Uber has the data. They know all the trip prices, models of cars (costs can be calculated), and time that drivers are online. This could be figured out, but would you trust what they said?

I drove for a few days as an experiment. What struck me was how low skilled work it is. No judgement. Just, it felt like having a really easy job. And a little humiliating. I’m old, and with drunk kids being a little condecending, plus seem

Yeah I was referring IBM Global Services. And my intention not to bash IBM or even IGS, but describe WHY some, not just IGS but many others - mega-projects blow up. My fault for not making that clear. I’d edit the post but I can’t now. Th

Its not like you pay your employees OR pay your taxes. Nor cut the workforce unless you get zero taxes. Tax increase can slow growth but because there’s less spending, but the big tech cos are stockpiling their profits anyway. I’m no socia

I find this facinating and quite exciting. First of all, my experience is many tech people, generally underestimate their ability and earning power - sell themsevles short. Even true rockstars, is very common. Especially when it comes to sa

It’s outrageous. Possibly there is a case that corps should pay zero income tax and workers should bear the entire burden, but I’ve never heard a convincing argument. This, corps create wealth argument, and CNBC corporatist babble is prett

Not a panacea, but if you imagine - every effort is begun with a built in base probability of failure (battle won or lost before it's fought kind of thing) - that a smaller effort reduces likelihood of failure cause you have less unkno

Sales and Engineering - very different competencies. Companies like IBM are NOT technology companies. They are sales-culture oriented, and their product HAPPENS TO BE technology. In fact you could argue, the only way to win big enterpris

The typical reaction I guess is, nice thing to do, but I’d be interested in the economics of the need to keep churn low, that probably makes this a good move financially. Also its a credits and not cash rebate? So if I bail I get nothing?

The US was built on free trade. This is untrue. Look at US history as it was becoming a superpower before WW2. From 1871 to 1913, “the average U.S. tariff on dutiable imports never fell below 38 percent [and] gross national product (GNP) g

Note that the modern gospel is any net business dont give a crap about costs, only growth and the ability to raise money. This has been explicity stated by the saas business ‘gurus’ So even at 3$ per user that goes lower pretty quickly. Plu

MSFT was always about owning the platform. All platforms. The writing was on the wall about mobile devices overtaking desktops/laptops - as it took time for the telcoms to build out faster wireless networks. Windows CE was supposed to

OP is dreaming. The US has perhaps never been more pro-business, hands off, and unwilling to do any anti-trust, than they are now. They will not be breaking up any companies any time soon. A 1990s Microsoft anti-trust case, you wont see. I

Products are commodities and they often do not win on price before shipping. Shipping is the secret sauce. Their ability to ship at lower costs. I used to prefer ebay, prices are better, but after 2day shipping, you cant go back. I can sta

How would serious historians weigh in? Im skeptical because the tendency to assume we are always think, THIS is the greatest moment in human history. The last few centuries built up an amazing amount, but also tore alot apart.

Better to not expect anything from anyone, and you wont be disappointed. What you do is simply restrict data to employees on a need to know basis. Not difficult to do.
