The context of my comment is that JumpCrisscross is confusing the ability of executives to be able to control their employees vs being able to control their customers. The Hertz example is incorrect because it’s related to customers, when t

Sand-sourcing issues are typically related to types of sand required for special applications, such as in concrete or silicon wafer production that needs very specific types or shapes of the grains. This kind of application would probably w

Executives control their employees (to whatever degree they can). Your Hertz example would be about controlling customers (which every executive fantasizes about but can’t actually do).

Not saying Starbucks is the best in the world, but airport and co-located stores (e.g. inside a Target, grocery store, or hotel) are absolutely the worst versions of Starbucks. They’re more like a cut down version that sometimes uses instan

I’ve never seen that. I do see alerts from the bank’s app itself, which makes sense since that’s how I configured it. Are you sure you’re getting alerts through Apple Wallet and not just the bank app?

I keep seeing this repeated in a “I heard someone who heard someone” sort of way, but don’t see anything saying that they’re actually moving to a subscription model (even in that Reddit thread). The only subscription I see for them is an op

It explains right in the tweet. Big companies take unpaid work and start to rely on it without giving anything back, then demand fixes as high priority. Also, being unpaid implies that one has to do other things to get money, so that leaves

Why does there need to be a law? There are many things people do for any number of reasons that have nothing to do with it being “the law”. Yes, the purpose is to be able to scan incoming or outgoing packets for malware, data exfiltration,

Wouldn’t the people selling those shares already be selling them (and paying taxes) regardless of whether they’re selling to someone else or to Apple? Unless they sold with the specific knowledge the shares were going to Apple, which doesn’

I don’t see how the government could force any company to make a product that works on a competitor’s product (e.g. forcing Apple to make the Watch work on Android). What I can see them doing is forcing Apple to allow the same level of acce

Live migration of a file system is like replacing the foundation of your house while still living in it. It’s not the same thing as updating apps which would be more like redecorating a room. Sure it’s possible, but it’s very risky and a lo

In the US, R&D expenses can often be deducted when filing taxes. I’m sure large companies like Google would be taking advantage of those rules.

As a Linux user since kernel 0.96, I have never once considered doing an in-place migration to a new file system. That seems like a crazy thing to try to do, and I would hope it’s only done as a last resort and with all data fully backed up

How does crypto solve anything with this? It’s a regular bank with regular money that’s decided to close out accounts. Any funds in those accounts would be transferred to the customers’ new bank accounts at their new banks. Your comment onl

People spend so much time spinning their wheels (either in meetings or just slacking off) during work hours, so they have to stay late to catch up on the actual work they need to do. Nobody is productively working 12 hours a day.

VLC is great. What’s even more great is how they’ve resisted enshittifying it for so long. They been offered $millions to bundle it with adware or other things and they’ve never taken it.

That’s a good approach, especially since everyone (Atlassian, Zoom, Salesforce, etc.) seems to be rebranding addons as “app stores” where the initially free stuff becomes paid. It’s better to avoid as many dependencies as possible in your w
