I'd imagine the opportunity cost and man power. Even though McKinsey should do the work they will need access to people and information to accomplish it.

Id argue that at this point, Microsoft isn't selling Windows. They're selling everything/anything touching their platform. Copilot, Office, Azure, gamepass. Almost all of these have a yearly subscription price that exceeds or

Part of being a Nazi means the sincere believe that the Aryan race is superior to all others and that eradicating them is a sensible goal. Thats not a political view. Its one of racism and finding genocide acceptable. I would sincerely hope

ESA has in the recent past used SpaceX rockets to deliver payloads. [0] ESA now has the ability but my comment was specifically pointing out that ESA absolutely should have the independent ability to launch equipment. https://www

Its not urgent until the US government starts blocking ESA from launching anything unless the EU agrees to some trade deal. Being independent isn't necessarily about lower cost. Its about having an alternative that you control.

I think that always depends entirely on the docs and how people are instructed to use them. From a software engineer standpoint, we have a larger collection of docs for the internal platform we run. The docs for other engineers follow the d

This might work if you already have a network, but otherwise good luck getting through to people on the phone. HR will answer the generic questions, but tell you to apply online. Cold "calling" people on LinkedIn is a shot in the

For most you don't. But if you buy loose cherry tomatoes, having 30 of them rolling around everywhere isn't exactly practical. Thats easily solved though by simple buying some reusable fruit/veggie net. Essentially the same a

He did make a reference to the double jeopardy law in the US though which, if I'm not mistaken, explicitly prohibits exactly that type of behaviour.

I'm conflicted. On the one hand, curtailing free speech is a problem and a lot of governments have started doing it to a massive degree. On the other hand, social networks are a cancer that are used to spread misinformation, steal info

The currently installed fibre cables work just as well as they did a year ago. Calling them obsolete is a bit of stretch. Besides, I think most homes are not even close to using the full capability of what fibre can offer nor do a lot of pe

What does the alternative look like though? Sure tech companies pay engineers well, but there's plenty of other jobs requiring a college degree that don't reach that salary level.

Yes, fully agree. Like I said: solving a customers problem is top priority but regardless of the solution it should be documented and shared. At minimum it can give pm and engineers insights into common issues and potential improvements.

Then incentives and (I hate this word) KPIs aren't aligned. That's arguably a somewhat separate problem though.

I think a mix of both is best. If support can quickly solve a customer issue they should. But they also should make note of it and pass it along.

OSS is fair. From the product page I don't see how that mainboard is more repairable than a typical ITX one though. As far as I can tell, you also cannot change the CPU on it so even less than a typical desktop mainboard.
