> personal space with a door, which most companies can't afford A company that cannot afford proper offices is probably not creating much value. Big tech companies can afford offices. They choose to allocate capital differently. Whe

Nobody should have complete confidence in a bank. When I was young, I worked for a guy who ran multiple businesses and used multiple banks. He showed me how he balanced his treasury across multiple banks and instruments to minimize risk. He

I never said there should be a law. You should argue with someone who did. Also, try decaf.

Louisiana and Mississippi were the worst, in my experience. I am told that Louisiana has improved.

I have traveled quite a bit and found that even within the U.S., food safety regulations are very variable. Some counties and states take food safety very seriously. Some do not.

As much as I hate how unstructured spreadsheets can be (and almost always are), I have successfully integrated spreadsheets into business processes by developing a schema for the spreadsheet and enforcing it. I have web apps which use the A

Google could notice the paid link goes to the same page as the organic link and choose not to charge the advertiser as they are obviously not adding or creating value. Instead, because Google chooses to charge for that first link, it create

If my paid ad for my restaurant is right above the organic search result, how is Google adding any value?

You are free to keep believing tabloids and being skeptical of the government. I will continue to be appropriately skeptical of both. Can you let us know which tabloids you trust? I would like to optimize my advertising spend.

One should apply even more skepticism to tabloids like The New York Post.

One thing that is never addressed by these articles: How do the container cranes work around the sails? This would require big changes to ports. The CGI rendering of the ship in the article does not even make clear how the containers are pu

This is the first time I have heard affordability of transportation as a reason. I am a 51 year lifelong Floridian. I remember sitting in the vehicle inspection line as a kid. When Florida discontinued the statewide inspections in 1981, it

Yes. This is quite predictable. Watching Microsoft do it twice is hilarious.

This is why I am asking. I did not say that I made decisions against employees when it was an inconvenience to the business or to my profit. I made hard decisions when employees jeopardized the company.

Do you have good examples of companies loyal to employees? I have been pretty loyal to my employees, but I have had to make hard decisions when the health of the company was higher priority than loyalty to an employee.

You and I are apparently dealing with very different yachts.

We love the Kubotas for generators and other small workloads. Nothing else we have would fit in an automobile. The smallest yacht I have worked on had engines with ancestry in locomotives. As another commenter suggested, I read the assertio

Yes, these engines have other uses. But there is an enormous market of yachts, tugs, etc. smaller than what is considered to be a "ship" and bigger than any automotive engine could power. I argued only with the assertion about &qu

I am well aware of the other uses of these engines. I argued only with the assertion made about "automotive engines".

I work in the tugboat industry. A quite standard engine there is the EMD 645. That was never a "mass-produced automotive engine" and it is not custom. Our smallest truckable tug uses John Deere engines. Everything else uses engine

That does not sound like a cellular system. Mobile telephone systems predated cellular services, which support automated roaming between cells. Pre-cellular systems just talked to a nearby tower and the call would end if one drove out of ra

Also, hormones have an enormous effect on the brain. The speculation I have read about immortality through brain vat tech does not address that such brains might not have any reason to want to live.

Is there a canonical Markdown specification now? A machine readable grammar? Last I looked, Markdown was a bunch of almost-compatible interpretations based on lore and opinion.

I take offense at your assumption. I have sincerely written what I think. You have implied that you can read my mind and that I am "uncomfortable" or "playing pretend". User SoylentOrange wrote that his wife "found
