If I search for a business name its normally not the first result any more. Usually an advert for another company in the same space I dont want to use (basically an offensive / scamming result from user perspective) and then also the s

Imho anyone working on business applications could do with this. I get frustrated how naive so many software tools are regarding fincial controls and how developers dont know that so many data reconciliation issues were solved decades or ce

baseless gum pumping: curiosity: when you perceive a gap in your knowledge that has no immediate need to be resolved how much effort do you put in to filling the gap. how burning is your desire to verify all possible logical links that may

I appologise in advance for probably using poor terminology.. Maybe I am a naive fool but IMHO the benifits of BI are reconciliation of the business model: - reconciling processes - reconciling data - reconciling governance Its a painful pr

THere is a particular term for when a group of people all know that everyone else in the group know somehting. I have forgotten the word but to me this is what meetings are about in a way. go one to one first, get all the feedback, make

A comment disputing the post with its own upvotes seems a better representation. So original post states x (it can gather up votes that mean relevance). Then responses are posted, positive, negative, adding nuance - doesnt matter.. then tho

I always wondered if IEC61508 would ever be applied like this. IIRC it could be interpeted as coving a range of types of harm to people and the environment that is not restricted to control systems. https://en.wikipedia.org/

Fair comment, though the word slang is doing a lot of judgement work and the whole point is that offensivity is subjective. I chose that word as its right out there on the spectrum but genuinely seems totally harmless to me and means person

Same as calling some a cunt imho. The parts of scotland i grew up in it basically means "person". And if i use it at work like this people know i am not meaning it the qymay it sounds but they still correct me. That discuasion lea

Hmm not sure what you are arguing against here. I didnt say all progress was good, only that progress has a profile and looking at this specific area: what is it about respecting people and understanding the importance of mental health has

Imho this is how we achieve greatness. People getting pissed over things there parents took as inevitable is basically the definition of progress. This is the first generation where mental health has been considerd a value. While its easy t

Edit: to be clear if you cannot afford enough moderators to stop child abuse or murder videos being posted then shut your platform down as its not viable. I am more tlaking about how moderation gets weaponised etc.

by goodlinks 5y ago
I 100% agree that moderation could be lightyears better. However i see this as being a bit like the BBC problem: beleiving there is such a thing as being objective, there just isnt. You can have a group of likeminded people who mostly agree

Imho it cannot work because we dont globally agree whats okay to do and say. I think mass media has some fundamental flaws that we havent accepted yet. Edit: take out advertising in intellectual property and you would get rid of a bunch of

I wonder what the carbon footprint of a new gpu is.. it would be great to see all the old mining and ai cards being used to game on. I bet they can all do a decent 1080p game no?

I mine with my gpu when i dont use it for other things.. i am still using the heat it geterates, it genuinely allows me to have the central heating off for more months of the year and on for fewer hours when i do use it. I considerd selling

Imho advertising is a meme that is at odds with humanity (meme as in the original definition). People worry about ai operating in software, this is an ai that has been running in the collective wetware of humans for some time that is signif

doesnt matter how wrong or personally based the attack/criticism is. The more extreme the situation the more important it is to keep to the plan. the lessons learned will cover all of existance as you will learn more about how people

Just listen and try to steel man what they are saying as best you can before you start to consider how it might be wrong. Try to get onto the path of thought that led them there, but let the questions that arise naturally for you hold off

I thought privateers were state sponsored (i thought that was the distinction from piracy?). Which sort of makes the comparison to ransom ware potentially more apt/thought provoking? In anycase disparity of oppourtunity is what breaks

Agree so much! having billions of individual intelligences running around with the ability to kill each other is actually hard to manage. Change management is what makes organisations work, great processes or systems are just a bonus.

I suppose what i am getting at is two things: Objectively good imho is as much a fallicy in the space of science and engineering as it is in art. It takes the same artistic/creative skill to be a good engineer as it does an artist. Thi

Art is about constraints. Engineering is about constraints. I am saddened somewhat but the seperation of art and science, it seems like a misunderstanding. Being good at something is effectively being able to creatively deal with constraint

This makes me chuckle, and its a nice story cos you got a job :).. All the controls in the world mean bugger all when ultimately the deciding factor is a human. No one ever wants to admit that the world runs on trust and respect :).
