While there is always room for better, is this even a problem that is solvable? To a certain extent, fundamental background knowledge, in particular mathematical, is needed. So to present something to a general audience will necessarily inv

But they are still keeping the name Facebook for that specific consumer product.

You should see if you get them to debug the situation. Unlike plenty of bloatware discussed on this posting, zscaler is usually not that resource intensive. It is more of a better corporate VPN, than it is a AV tool.

The bigger problem is that the IT staff is often so ludicrously underfunded, that they ARE a bottleneck. There probably are ways to manage team/personal productivity with organization needs, but without time to dedicate to analysis, yo

This is already a thing. Plenty of companies use managed virtual desktops via the web for this purpose. AWS even offers "Workspaces" as service for this. Though it doesn't solve the "without the internet" problem.

I think because it is a tangible thing one can do. Regardless of opinions on constitutionality of firearms ownership, nobody wants to see attacks and shoots. But what can be done? Changing the laws is not likely because of both disagreement

What does testing higher than one's ability actually mean? I'm guessing either you think the test is an imperfect proxy for a different (more important) skill, or otherwise you have imposter syndrome.

Oh sure, you always need to listen to the requests - especially for existing systems. I had one set of legacy workflows I once replaced that rough went like: 1) Export data from system A to a CSV. 2) Remove/reorder a few columns manual

There are a few more dimensions to this. 1) Does "showing support," actually do anything? Are we really aligning on norms or just scoring points with people who already agree the same position? I suspect the detail matter and that

The best model I've read about this is to separate feedback loops into two categories: Problem Discovery - listen to users to understand where they struggle, but ignore their proposed solution and desires (except to the point it helps

We take two types of vacations: 1) foreign travel where we are constantly on the go visiting new places and 2) home rentals with extended family. For the second category usually it is the beach, but sometimes in the mountains or other area.

In the first case, I agree. One can cherry pick past data and find some basket of stocks that outperforms the market. But in practice the funds that do this tend to underperform, so it seems like something that is unlikely to be successful

I think the resolution of the terraform-aws-eks example that started this discussion is a good one. The maintainer clearly stated his political in the README, but left the license alone without a country specific restriction. This is what I

I don't think there is a tradeoff. Not all actions constitute speech. Supporters of Russian actions should be able to spout off their horrible thoughts, but that doesn't mean companies the need to sell their goods or services to R

Although one thing the author does owe the community is clarity in the license. The PR in question changed the named of the license from "Apache 2.0" to "Modified Apache." If you change the terms of a well known license,

The geopolitical situation in the 1800s and even the first half of the 1900s was much more volatile than today. Yet, industrialization caused massive changes. In fact that was a big part of the feedbackloop for the political instability. Ne

I don't get why people think this is theoretical. We have autonomous vehicles driving on the road _today_. They've logged millions of miles. The question is one of fidelity. Can they drive "safe enough?" Can they drive i

If all you want is messaging, use irc, matrix or an xmpp system. The real value of slack is all the integrations and ecosystem built on top of it. That is much harder to integrate with an arbitrary client. It could be done, they could publi

The weird thing though ... is how recent that polarization really is. Pre-polarized America (which is subjective and has been a long slide down a continuum) basically had something similar to parliamentary coalition-building politics where

Or they incentivize/empower teams to find revenue without an overarching strategy, and then periodically rationalize what they have.

I think it is less a matter of intent and more a matter of incentives. McDonald's is probably perfectly happy to be selling more ice-cream and make money that way. But they just don't care about maintenance (franchise reasonabilit

Also note that Qt, while having a legacy of its prior versions, has seen significant investments keep it up to date. You aren't using an "old" library, you are using a modern library in its latest incarnation.

The medium can matter in both cases, in the sense that the medium is not just the format, but also the cultural context of interpretation. There can be subtleties in word choice that evoke shared stories, or word connotations or otherwise m
