And yet Scripps healthcare in California is going on more than a week of all of their IT systems being down for the same reason and it’s disrupting operations enough that they’re diverting a incoming patients to other providers and a lot of

This is similar to how some government agencies retain their budgets. At the end of the budget period they've only spent 80% of their allocated budget, so they throw out a bunch of perfectly good equipment/furniture/etc. and

Same here which is why I switched to using a desktop mail client that just wraps the Gmail web interface (there are a few out there). Gmail itself is pretty minimal (when you turn off a lot of the junk in settings) and this way I get the p

One of the most fascinating parts of this story, to me, is that Revlon's creditors were able to use a mistake made by Citi and a legal loophole in New York to recover debt that had increased in risk due to some allegedly-shady asset ma

I learned the hard way how developer-unfriendly Nest became after acquisition. I wanted to do some very basic home automation with a smart thermostat and it was like somebody had released a broken beta of an API and stopped maintaining it.

Agreed. I’ve printed dishwasher replacement parts using ABS that hold up perfectly in high temps soaking in water. PLA is also great for certain applications and can look and feel very nice when done right.

Several services haven't been working for me for 20 minutes and the dashboard hasn't been updated. They're effectively useless.

As long as the US federal government and the DEA continue their ridiculous war on drugs and refuse to reclassify certain substances despite overwhelming popular and scientific support I fear that any action by regular folks is wasted. It’s

Did something similar for a chat app and the first week we released it had an angry support call asking why we’d labeled one of their customers “bloated sloth” (I don’t recall the exact adjective-animal combo but it was similar). This is wh

I’m on the complete other end. I don’t pay much attention to my individual performances but I love being able to see how I trend over time on specific segments or training intensity and that’s the main reason I pay for Strava.

This is unfortunately a common problem and the only way to beat the algorithm is to turn it against itself. Create few playlists and add songs you like to them and also be diligent about liking and unliking songs. These will heavily influen

While we may not be able to know those exact costs we can get close. I know that a restaurant in an upscale mall is paying more for rent. I know the minimum staff costs depending on the city they’re in (minimum wage). What I don’t like is t
