People talking about lean manufacturing never seem to mention the outsourced risk involved. That ‘wasted’ inventory that you have laying around is actually insurance against supply chain shocks. And outsourcing manufacturing of critical com

We use Mattermost and it’s working pretty well. The search is decent and it captures a lot more of the daily chitchat that isn’t long/serious enough for email and would otherwise be lost. The real benefit comes when you need to find so

“Opt-in-by-default” is a lot of words to say “opt-out”.

That’s the complete opposite of “buy now, pay later”, it’s “buy later, pay now”!

There are SO MANY terrible practices like this carried out by companies big enough to know better. From registering new domains for email addresses (for a while a BigCorp customer of ours had a mix of @bigcorp.com and @bigcorp2.com email ad

TBH this is probably the best argument for actually conducting phishing pentests. It shuts up the technical users who think they're too smart to need the handrails and safety nets that the IT department set up for the rest of the avera

Yeah, I thought this was a 'feature' (basically a hedge against them contributing to Kessler syndrome).

Saying “it’s not a dialogue” when someone tries to talk to you just means “don’t talk back, you don’t get a say”.

You answered your own question. You see this a lot when a company’s founders leave and are replaced by MBAs. Customer goodwill isn’t a tangible asset, so the MBAs burn it to produce more quarterly revenue. It works great for a while until t

As a self employed business owner I should definitely start billing us as “employee owned”. I’m unaware of any tax avoidance advantages but I should ask my accountant (pretty sure he’ll say no though. :D ) I’ve actually considered various w

Is this not the norm in any mid-to-large company that makes a bad decision (or even a decision that’s seen to be bad)? In my experience internal morale often suffers before the customers catch on.

They’re no more a dead end than your hippocampus is a dead end. They’re just not a complete AGI in and of themselves. They’re a component.

Yeah, I thought the treadmill image was about having to keep running just to stay in the same place (a Red Queen’s race) rather than anything about falling down.

2kA was pretty standard for a high end DC motor controller back 20 years ago when people were doing EV conversions with Optima Yellow Top batteries and Warp9 DC motors. Doing it at 1200V is new, though. It's not unexpected for a record

What did you try, and when? Their current models are well presented with impressive feature sets, and IMO are spectacular bang for buck.

I can kinda see where the idea of "copyrighting a number" makes sense when you're talking about a number that's multiple kilobytes in size, but trying to stake a legal claim to one of the 65536 possible 16-bit numbers is

The issue is (as I understand it) that some early supply chain distributors either unwittingly bought shipments of counterfeit parts, or otherwise ended up stocking them as genuine. Then legitimate hardware manufacturers used them. And let&

Also beware that FTDI has bricked swathes of gear that (often inadvertently) used counterfeit chips, via driver updates. So if you buy gear that uses an FTDI chip then if you’re unlucky want it turns out to be counterfeit, your thing might
