Why so many pages of "Recommendation: implement multi-factor authentication" and other IT security irrelevancies? Did they need to pad out the number of pages?

Sure, but even better would be if she had experience in the industry to judge tactical advice she is given and set strategic direction. Otherwise the best she can do is "not get in the way".

I'm also enjoying the conversation, but IMO font licensing is core to whether or not there is actual irony and hypocrisy at play (specifically the copyright aspect, and whether or not the font clone actually infringed copyright).

This makes me think of the Hari Seldon recordings which play over the course of centuries in the "Foundation" books by Isaac Asimov.

Hah, the whiplash must be tremendous for some of the employees, and even for some of the customers. It'll be very interesting to see how both employees and customers react and evolve over the next few years.

81.
by gred 2y ago
Once you're past your probationary period, you are likely protected by a union. Therefore it is a side-effect of unionization that these junior-est of employees are the easiest pickings. Agree that the term "junior" here has

by gred 2y ago
Exactly. They are so junior they aren't even protected yet. This is still a side-effect of unionization, from my POV.
