I wouldn't imagine ships would use auto-pilot in a crowded area like this. The pilot would be at the helm and it would be pretty clear they were not where their GPS was indicating. In open sea, however, I could see this being a problem

I tend to think it would be about the same reaction in the United States. "Oh those dumb printers hahaha [cue one day of local news stations across the country having an easy story to take up their air time that night]" and then i

So you would also recommend watching Archer and H. Jon Benjamin animated series? (Bob's Burgers) I'd certainly recommend them though I'm not sure he's a canonical example of the language. By watching Archer you might als

I really love that CNN refers to the sub by its _last_ name. “The discoveries by McBoatface” Brilliant. Also a really interesting discovery!

This is really insightful. Thank you. I had no idea so much was dependent on tanker trucks.

> 21 cities — including the four metropolises — Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Delhi — will run out of groundwater by 2020. Is that a validated statistic? If so, how is the entire country not panicking about this? That seems like a re

I was under the impression that sovereign immunity only applied to suing of state actors (ie employees / officials, etc) but I guess it can be applied writ-large to entire institutions as well based on the copyright infringement ruling

I meant government in general - not CBP. Without having worked in the federal space, it’s likely a lot of the context of this - policies, procurement, onboarding, security, etc is lost. Probably should have clarified and I deserve the downv

It is clear from the tenor of some of the posts here that more of you need to work for some non-zero time in the government so you can have some empathy / appreciation here. They’re hiring.

There’s a lot going on here, and I’m no fan of CBP but this is pretty much a low-grade by the book contractor failure here. They receive training on all of these things, and have gone through a lengthy award and due diligence process and th

Many of these mergers lately seem to be driven by contract books and support structures for future bids. If you lose a contract, buy the company that won, and now you only need one business development group which saves you a bunch of money

That sounds right. This acquisition maybe gets rid of the curve there and for orgs like mine that use Tableau and SalesForce it sounds simpler / easier in future (Einstein has conversion and learning costs as you say). However, that co

A lot of companies use Tableau to visualize their data. In the future if they want to use Tableau they (speculation) might have to host their data in SalesForce and/or be directed to use a number of other SalesForce features if they wa

Amazon just started sending me pictures of the package on my porch as part of delivery confirmation. Not sure I love this, tbh, but if many things had been stolen I guess I’s appreciate it more.

Been there and understand that completely. I transitioned from full time on-site to a remote worker with the same organization which meant that I understood the things I needed to work to replace when I started working outside the office -

"Remote work requires discipline" is true. Some people find it hard to stop working, others find it difficult to focus. I'd say it's 100% different, but it's not necessarily difficult. We need to talk about how chan

It's definitely possible - I would say that to be most successful you want to behave like everyone is remote all the time, which means remote access to meetings, not whiteboarding and leaving somebody out because they're remote, e

Manager changes are often indicative of what I perceive to be the biggest issue: cultural attitudes towards people that are not in the office. If the organization understands that you're a full participant and they don't blink whe

I think you may be conflating right to privacy with certain individual rights, but I'll start with a relatively trite observation by Benjamin Franklin that you should not give up liberty for security, and if you do, you deserve neither

Same here. I'd also highly recommend Firefox Focus for mobile. Now to convince my enterprise network admins... It would probably take me a bit to figure out exactly how to work with the FireFox advanced debugging tools, but it's f

Not a lawyer, but I could also see this pretty readily thrown out on discrimination grounds. "Hey, why is it that only people of color get thrown out of your bar?" Or, for the company: "Why is your banned list X% this race vs

I completely agree with you. It is unfortunate, however, that states do not often act out of ethical or moral obligations unless it serves some other, broader interest. It's my fervent hope the United States chooses to act on its ethic

That would be a nice thing to do, but per the article in 1983 the Marshall Islands traded US liability for nuclear issues as part of their move to self-government. That is not to say that some Federal-level support is not warranted like oth

If I could choose which hospital to go to based on available data, pricing, luxury levels, outcomes, etc so that I understood the costs I would incur (at a high level) to get that care, and then get quotes from different places, I think tha

My theory is that no matter what there will be things that are unfair or inequal in healthcare any time folks have more resources than others to apply to treatment. I agree with you that based on overall spending and outcomes something need

Agreed. I guess my point, more succinctly is that this will always be the case, regardless of from whom folks obtain their insurance. A better question might be "does employment-based insurance make medical care MORE or VERY inefficien
