Or maybe hungry and desperate enough to find one of the abundantly available job opportunities, or start a business, etc. to pay for their future. Why wish for conflict?

You should try Japan Air Lines (JAL) or All Nippon Airways (ANA) for comparison. The difference is amazing. With those airlines, First/Business class actually means something besides a slightly larger seat. With Delta, first class m

Earlier this month Rand Paul, a U.S. Senator and a former physician, was banned from YouTube for a week for simply saying that cloth masks are ineffective. YouTube et al. could just as easily decide that discussion of natural immunity from

Of the major US carriers, Delta is certainly the worst IMHO. They've been hit by Covid-19 like all the airlines, but their concerns about public perception would be improved more by them stepping up their game and improving quality.

One can observe how this topic has become political, and is no longer scientific. Our focus and concerns are now all about existing and forthcoming restrictions and mandates for vaccinations and masks -- so much that information like this

Management Information Systems. A "business oriented" computer degree. They were popular in the 80s as an alternative to comp. sci. They focus on how to use databases and spreadsheets, and other analytical and management syste

Gawd, Six Sigma was an ever-present factor in all our work when I was at IBM in the late 80's to early 90's. I have complete respect for Deming, but when anything becomes "religion" it gets damaged or mis-used a lot, as

It's cool looking, but frankly it has nothing to do with "digging a tunnel". It's a "graphically draw a line through a sphere" app. Digging a tunnel would have to deal with deep earth concerns, such as how to

Stern tried to adapt, and with a degree of success. He came from the "Shock Jock", Andrew Dice Clay era, but shifted in recent years to become much softer and "woke".

Most non-tech people are oblivious to the depth of Linus's contribution. As a Linux/tech person, it's hard imagine a world where there was no alternative to M$ or Apple. "Regular" people would have an even harder t

Hence the reference to the onion, etc. The responses prove my point; and yes that's sad.

Since when is "the system" the thing that is supposed to win? To me, it seems more like the system is cheating the startup. There's validity in working around or gaming systems so that a company has a chance of growing and t

"You need social programs to keep kids out of gangs" A cohesive home with both the mother and father present, where moral values are taught, is more effective than a sad, government-run program.

The point is black lives seem to matter only if taken by a white police officer. The BLM movement is quite silent regarding other black deaths.

You should try embedded systems work, Board Support Package (BSP) development, in particular. BSP development is about adapting an OS to a particular (usually new) board design/implementation. You have to understand how the system wo

A good response when the company starts with the "we're a family" BS, is to reply (with a smile on your face, to be safe) "good, then nobody can ever be fired!". It can be a lighthearted way to point out the absurd

Prop 22 is a poorly designed solution to an even worse AB5. I don't even use Uber or Lyft, but I feel for their drivers whose whole purpose of joining those businesses was because it allowed them independence. These companies should

They seem too well-educated to not be aware of toxic algae (very common throughout northern CA), and would know to not drink the water -- and certainly not give it to the child. Dogs do often tragically die every summer from drinking from

Interesting "feature": the user perceives a (real) benefit: preview. But, there is also an unspoken benefit for Microsoft, who can feed their marketing analytics, or AI training data, or ... with what it learns via the chats and

When some other animal species starts building libraries and exploring space, I'll consider them exceptional, too. Humans, a kind of animal, are quite distinct from other animal species. We can't fly by nature, but we can build

This is like the reason I quit using Skype 10 years ago. My colleagues and I noticed the same thing: send a link in a chat, and within seconds to minutes a request (or more) for that URL from a Microsoft server would be logged. Done and b

Or, rather than a societal problem, it's a case of someone with specialized skills moving to an island nation which had no opportunities for people with such skills (poor planning).
