It's a tough one. A lot of charge backs are fraudulent, so this would open retailers up to more fraud. The ability to do charge backs will probably disappear in future. When the system was created we didn't have the same ability t

Apple employees aren’t unionising because of poor working conditions in Apple stores. It’s generally considered one of the best employers for retail staff already. They are unionising because Apple has money and the employees would like som

Tenure is poorly correlated with performance. In unionised organisations it is usually negatively correlated with performance. Boards are never going to accept basing promotions or layoffs on tenure.

Economies of scale diminish quickly when overheads are low, which the tooling costs for making razors will be. It's likely that even small companies are selling enough that these costs amortise to near zero.

In high land value areas demolishing and rebuilding can be a commercially viable alternate to conversions as well.

Indeed. Shipping new changes is actually the reason these glitches are occurring.

The problem with unions is that they tend to average out pay and conditions. For many jobs that's fine, but white collar jobs, especially tech, has enormous variability in the performance and preferrences of different employees in the

This author doesn't seem to know what a promise is. A planned production date for a pre-ordered product during a pandemic is not a promise, especially with Tesla.

Credit Bureaus exist to share your credit file with any paying credit provider who asks for it. They won't regard accessing credit files in this way as a security / privacy issue, but merely a billing issue.

For most people, the keepass db will need to be synced and they’ll also want clients on their computers and phones to access it. What’s the difference, security wise, to an all in one offering that works the same way under the hood, like 1p

A lot of sites don’t limit total 2FA attempts, so a determined actor could still get in eventually.

How is that different from any other scheme which uses a master password?

Doxxing people's location in real time is basically stalking. It should have been taken down by previous management.

I think he wanted to portray himself as just a kid who investors recklessly gave money without due diligence, rather than a deliberate fraud.

No, what matters is the marginal additional emissions of a passenger choosing to ride the train. An empty train is going from A-B regardless.

I was curious about this as well. Reality TV for example is edited very differently between the US and elsewhere to suit local tastes. Do we know whether or not crowd shots were usually shown in China pre-covid?

This is silly. Companies like Tesla and SpaceX don't succeed without a willingness to consider new ideas. They clearly aren't the result of one man's ideas alone.

I guess different people want different things, but I would have flown across the country to be in that room at 1am. A startup sized team working on a platform with twitters scale for a boss with capital and a willingness to consider new id

Her "kiss my ass elon" pinned post was from July 8. She's been publicly criticising Elon for a few days now, and not in a constructive manner like the Android dev. I can understand why she'd be let go.

It seems like most of the layoffs are in trust, comms, creative, policy, wellness and those supporting these functions. If the rumours of 50% downsizing are correct these functions were way bigger than I expected.

Of course they do, every large search implementation has done that if a node times out, since the 90's. Something unusual about this query evidently triggered a bug in the somewhere. We will probably never know the specifics.

The Oberlin case had damages of $25 million, not $36 million, and that was the combined award to number of individuals plus a company that suffered a significant loss of revenue. Apples vs Oranges.

I don't see how a company can inflict $25 million in damages per person. Damages for wrongful death usually don't even go this high.

For sure. It's also hard to know what giving up too soon even is. The family making these decisions rarely have complete information about the situation, the options, the prospects, nor time to carefully consider these options.

EU could have mandated adoption of a certain connector for a certain period of time, rather than for all time. That way regulation provides the stick to force standardisation, but allows whatever new innovations develop later to have a chan

Your job is to deliver what the execs consider to be a good outcome. That includes helping the stakeholders come up with a stable set of requirements. Most of the time when teams are dealing with a lot of requirements change, it's beca

"Have everything in writing" is a bad mindset and is not going to save you. Exeutives are looking at you as the expert to deliver a good outcome. Which means making good decisions, managing expectations and keeping everyone in the

This approach is a trap. Management need to know that this needs a rewrite, and a more capable team, and that persuing on aggressive roadmap while things are this bad is impossible. If they say no, and you try to muddle your way through it
