Three questions immediately come to mind: 1. Is this more cost-effective than just writing-off the lost inventory? At least in TJ Maxx's case, is it really that high? 2. What good is the footage? I doubt police are going to investigate

Surely there's a term for "a team not understanding all the implicit complexity in a system, changing that system, and not comprehending the wider impact of that change." It feels like the "get LLM's into every prod

I've noticed it gets quite murky when dealing with fibre-to-the-premises, particularly in the UK. Although I don't think an ISP would disallow BYOD, I imagine they'd just not be as likely to support it. I recently moved ISP,

It's pretty awful on a M1 Pro too, at least until the page has fully loaded. I'm assuming all of the inline styles are forcing a few seconds of re-layouts and that kills the initial performance.

If you are required by law to put a fence around your pool and include a child-safe door, and you fail to do so, and a child drowns — why shouldn't you be liable? (Although I think many from the US may interpret a "fence around a

I think we're past bias... there's certainly enough evidence. (In terms of details, they're quite literally provided in the opening sentence.)

You'll have to investigate the fleet owned by each airline and pick airlines which pick non-Boeing aircraft. Because pilots trained on a Boeing aircraft can't just jump to a different airframe (i.e. origin of the MAX disaster,) or

Open Source software is an awful example because by-and-large no one gets paid to do make it. OSS doesn't exist to spite IP, it exists because of IP rights protect creators from others stealing their work.

> Discoveries of R&D that was done anyway Not sure I agree — That's still investment. All that time spend doing research, even if for a completely different goal, doesn't come for free. Discovering two things in a process i

Yes, that's an interesting problem — the more capital you have to invest, conceptually, the more you can invest in talent and the faster you can research compared to smaller competitors. Great for the rate of technological advancement,

If you are arguing that non-competes shouldn't exist therefore patents shouldn't exist — I think you're framing the issue too broadly. If a professional joins an organisation, creates something novel and valuable, and then is

The first patent was issued in the 1400's — it is exactly how humans have progressed technologically and sociality. Let's stop being so absolutist about these topics. The problem here isn't that patents exist, intellectual pr

Not sure why this is downvoted — its exactly the right question. Google has a hard fight ahead keeping its loss-leading services alive. At some point they will need to invest properly in their Workplace suite and start competing in the corp

Google is losing a lot of ground in the office productivity space. I can see Docs, Sheets and Slides being wound-down in the next few years as the distance between these tools and Office widens. The only advantage for the above tools is tha

I've been an advocate for Firebase and Firestore for a while — but will agree to all of these points above. It's a conceptual model that is not sufficiently explained. How we talk about it on own projects is that each collection s

Why PostScript had to be Turing-complete makes no sense to me. Loops, code-execution, functions, it all seems so unnecessary for a markup and presentation language.

I wonder if this might be a case of PayPal in the US vs. Europe — at least with regards to charge-backs. It seems that the burden of proof in the EU is much higher before an issuer will allow a charge-back — at least anecdotally, the credit
