YES. This article clearly answers what I was asking about a month after the presidential election. "Why aren't Democrats trying to answer everyone's problems? And realizing that someone is telling you they have a need if

Maybe take a dose of humility and realize that at one point the fastest processors and memory systems in the world weren't capable of holding more than a limited size routing table, while maintaining acceptable line speed? And that in

Amazon - See data hoarder [1]. Other than that, debatable because Amazon organizationally seems to optimize for efficiency (e.g. compressing margins). However, by cracking it into a logistics company and an online retail company, users woul

All problems from big tech stem from their centralization. If Amazon, Apple, Google, and Facebook were broken up into collections of smaller, independent companies... a lot of the ills would simply disappear, and the market as a whole would

I feel like pulling money out while you're engaged in behavior a reasonable person would assume might lead to future litigation... stretches the "We didn't know!" defense. They and others were engaged in massive producti

When it comes down to it, there is no one answer. Because it's a skill (conflict resolution & communication) operating in a complex environment (your relationship). Be self reflective though: if you aren't getting the results

It's difficult and very much intuition. The first question I'd ask is why the one stepping down is unhappy? They're compromising and giving a gift to their partner, which their partner should recognize, thank them for, and re

I would have identified a lot with what you said, several years ago. The key advice I'd give: realize you are sabotaging your own relationships when you don't tell your partners how you feel about something. This is not helping

It's a fair point. You can't serve next to folks in combat situations and look at "others" with quite the same distain as is evidenced today.

In tech, it feels like negative cash flow is valued partly for it's ambiguity. With positive cash flow, your valuation becomes easier. With negative cash flow, you're either (a) strategically burning for growth or (b) unsustainabl

Wouldn't that logic mean the recession will ultimately lead to Gen Y being good/effective leaders? Personally, I'd counter it was the inequality compression caused by WWII that lead to the prosperity of the 50s and 60s. Or in

It's a valid point, although probably not in the way the young man intends it. In the interest of remaining fair and balanced, media ultimately has to appear biased, if the supporters of the issue are... unbalanced in appeal. I think t

The irony would be if they were under a gag order not to issue a retraction. But that's diving down the paranoia rabbit hole.

You shouldn't have to do that often. Certainly not every time. If you're polymerizing it, using a vegetable oil, and wiping it down before storage (so no pooled oil/fat), you shouldn't have to reseason... well, really un

Depends on the can. The "vintage military ration collection crowd" (yes, that's a thing) says that after decades you start to get some nasty leaching from can -> food, especially if it's an acidic food product (e.g. t

I've been in the hurricane center at a large retailer (last week, in fact). Aside from freezing prices at before-storm levels, no one who volunteers for the 24/7 emergency staffing is thinking about the dollars. Sales take care of

Why anyone would willingly plug an opaque, overly complicated, poorly optimized, externally controlled failure point into their tech stack is beyond me.
