I’m not sure what “admission” you’re looking for? That life is generally better in wealthy countries? Wow big surprise

I guess this is itself a social science experiment, namely to see if there is a link between doing social science and having "a balanced, happy society" :)

They’re probably not distributed by whatever GDS API the app is using

in my experience, people higher up the chain are much more at risk of being let go at any time

usually it's done by taking out a succession of loans, with the stock as collateral. that way the actual sale of stock is deferred until death

I don't believe it's being built anymore - the target audience go for Dusters

I think it was slightly tongue in cheek - everyone knows they didn't literally pay the guy a 2.7 billion hiring bonus

That’s not really specific to Tesla. Lots of cars have rear windows that only hinge open slightly

The bit about the ground-handler agent not having 2FA is a bit of a red herring, getting access to a session is trivial - just find an empty common-use terminal in the airport. Or just bribe one of the thousands of underpaid and overworked

I’m wondering why on earth the military was storing cheese as a powder… the whole point of cheeses is that they are a great way to store milk. Why didn’t they just store cheese wheels? Surely powdering it makes it go off much faster?

to be fair, evidence-based medecine in general is only just starting to take over

Eh… they’re just a consulting firm. Nobody does really care about them from the perspective of advancing the science. Does anyone bother what IBM or CapGemini or Accenture or Deloitte or whatever think?

Regulations for healthcare exist are complex in every developed country, but in most everything works fine for a fraction of the cost, so I don’t think that’s the main issue

What I mean is that this guy is bragging about not paying rent whilst not doing his fair share of childcare
106.
by namdnay 2y ago
And having an ex, who does pay rent, to look after your children on school nights apparently I’m sorry but this has got to be satire?

FWIW my kids in France had to have “numworks” calculators. A lot more modern than the Tis of old (and cheaper!)

by namdnay 2y ago
> the modern ones break in really really expensive ways right about the time your warranty ends (60k) bullshit, common rail turbodiesels with EGR+DPF have been around for decades. they had some issues at the start (like all new tech) but

Not to defend Crowdstrike in any way, but it’s a bit unfair to only look at the downside. What if his hospital hadn’t bought an antivirus, and got hit by ransomware?

It’s a good thing they didn’t jump to any conclusion, and asked a question

yes I think that per seat BBG is probably the most expensive off the shelf software
112.
by namdnay 2y ago
What do you mean by "off the shelf"? Sold without custom development? If so, a lot of enterprise software is sold "off the shelf" to small/medium customers

there's a similar one in france: https://www.mybookinou.com , they use it in nursery school

That's kind of beside the point - for the sake of argument, let's say managers only care about "budgets, timelines". It would still be a stretch to switch from an IC role to suddenly managing the "budgets, timelines

15 years ago watching too much Taliban propaganda would have put you in Guantanamo pretty fast

I was convinced that it was because at the time h2g2 was written, "digital watches" were actually LED watches, which required that the user press a button to see the time displayed for a few seconds! (also the case for some of the
