Article reads like a hit-job. It's a relatively small amount of money. The Facebook outage cost more than the entire Wikipedia endowment.

The wikipedia article says that it paid 9k people. So 1k paychecks per hour. 3.6 seconds per paycheck. Agree that this would make sense if the limiting factor was the printer, but even so, parallelize the print job to multiple printers.

To me, the Fatalities per mile is the most meaningful metric, but that's very sparsely populated on the chart. The next most meaningful metric on that chart is Fatalities per 100k vehicles. Somali car owners have a 6.5% chance of dying

I feel like folks like us, that never miss a payment, and max out our rewards, are net-losses for most credit card issuers. It's not clear why they don't just fire us as customers.

Teams on Linux is still Teams, but it works just fine for me. It can't do background blur, but is otherwise feature complete enough for me to attend stand-up on it daily.

If you lack friendliness, trustworthiness, or competency; I'd prefer you work at a competitor's. All three are deal-breakers on my team.

It's hard to tell, but I hope <strike>Facebook</strike>Meta has jumped the shark, and in 10 years time they'll be like AOL. Still there, but just for extremely old people.

All day in-person meetings are no less draining than all-day virtual. Anyone who has done SAFe can attest. I turn my camera on for _every_ meeting. Not for me, but for my coworkers, and especially the PHBs that maybe would prefer remote-wor

The risk/reward doesn't seem to make sense for Bezos. If Shatner dies, it'll be the end of their program. If he lives, maybe a marginal benefit? The man is 90, and his health is not stellar. He legit could die of anything.

I like how you don't mention the specifics, so that folks outside of your echo chamber won't know what you're talking about. Clearly the specifics don't even matter, just the general truthiness of your tone. This is perf
