G1 was the original Tmo android phone with a slide out keyboard. G2 was the HTC Desire Z with the amazing z-hinge keyboard.

Nothing you've said in this comment contradicts my opinion that firing for cause is different than PIP. Not even the fact that PIPs are not designed to be survived. Or that you will be fired after failing one.

Safari doesn't like https://marginalia.nu . Probably because *.marginalia.nu is not valid for the base domain. Add it as a Subject Alt Name

PIP is a performance improvement plan, whereby they come up with documentation required to dismiss a person without running afoul of affirmative action and other wrongful termination suits. Firing for cause is something else. Like, stealing

"Bootleggers and Baptists"[1] suggests it can be both -- Intuit is definitely not lobbying to make it easier. One wonders if Intuit makes donations to Americans for Tax Reform, but probably Nordquist is the more influential of the

My impression was that he was also a consultant, and that BCC was more of a demopiece than a product. His A/B testing framework abingo, for example, used BCC as a concrete application of the tool. It's something you can show to po

I enjoy the idea but the implementation feels lacking: about half of these are statistics, which is on brand for gapminder, but using comparisons from several years past instead of 2022. Which makes it a bit less "news of 2023" an

Nice seeing work from a former professor of mine on HN. A lot of the faculty at KSU work on formal verification tooling but industry seems to avoid it in most cases (yes, Amazon uses TLA+ sometimes, allegedly). And now I work on AI products

Liability insurance seems fine -- if the systems and installers are safe, underwriting it will be cheap. What seems to be harder is finding an insurer that will cover you. You can even tie this back to hurricane season if you wish (since yo

Also, one of the cofounders worked at Cisco previously. I guess this is what it takes to get promoted at Cisco?

What is going on in this floor plan? A bedroom with no doors and which you must travel through to get from office to kitchen. But also: an office with a closet, and then a bonus "storage" room and actual closed door garage.

It is very much not free -- they apparently raised a lot of debt to buy eOne, and they are going to have find a way to pay that off or roll it over into a much, much higher interest rate environment than 2019.

This is the way -- the interruptions are in many ways ideal, if you can pair this practice with some dedicated study time.

AFAIK, MtG art is all gig work. Art is part of the product and to the extent that AI gets involved it would be about elevating the value rather than cutting costs.

Browsing their most recent 10Q[1], it looks like they took a substantial loss on their investment in EntertainmentOne[2]. Which they did with borrowed money, meaning they don't have that much equity to lose. If you look at it from a bu

I manage a highly complex AI service, and from time to time make config changes, and part of that duty is config cleanup -- removal and simplification. This is a necessary job in the past I have found copy-pasta where settings overrides for

It seems like this worked correctly: you found notes describing their reasoning, but did not find their argument conclusive or persuasive. Not every fence exists for good _reasons_; Chesterson's Fence simply recommends identifying what

Apparently much of the IEEE trouble is ICERECT[1], which as best I can tell, is primarily for papers rejected elsewhere. Filtering the dataset from the article[2] down to just this one paper[3] from that conference helps illustrate the poin

I think it was Pearl's Book of Why that went into far more detail about how it was decided that tobacco causes cancer from purely observational data. The technique was... relatively convoluted, and supposedly Fischer fought tooth and n

Nah, it pretty much is, for anyone wanting to continue living in a United States. Even tax cut libertarians should recognize that the least just taxation system is random, which is what you are essentially advocating. Moreover, unplanned in
