Keep in mind UK law. The airline cancelled so the customer can insist on cash refund. I spent a week or two messaging with BA via Twitter DMs to ensure I got a cash refund, rather than dealing with their website which was steering everyone

Actual title "Yammer is evolving to Microsoft Viva Engage with new experiences rolling out today" I worked in a place where someone senior decided we needed Yammer. Mostly non tech workforce. The only use it got was HR sending out

I'd be happy to update my comment with a better pair if you can suggest one, but I stand by my general point that most people could name a news outlet they don't trust.

That's the research proposal I want a grant for. My work will be going to the circus all the time and asking the acrobats if any of them used to work for Adobe.

Genuinely surprised its only half because Fox News viewers often think CNN is lying and CNN viewers often think the same about Fox News. Both groups can therefore answer 'Yes' if asked if they think news organisations deliberately

I wonder if there are hard requirements for some areas of programming and not for others? There's no reason to require credentials for writing a game because if it fails, try again. But if a bridge fails that's a big deal. So for

I was at an event run by one of our suppliers, a health tech firm. Discussing one of their products, their consultant told me they were 'learning as we go along'. Didn't have the heart to tell him his firm is supposed to brin

Saw something in the headlines about initially limiting how much you can hold. I can't see a use case for the average person who can already make remote payments by card and can hold as much GBP as they like in their bank account.

I replied to a comment specifically about Bulgaria and Nederlands. Had it been the other way around, I would have reversed the labels. "People should not even think in these terms." Thanks for telling us all how we are allowed to

In the UK food banks are indeed finding themselves short of food as demand increases and donations drop. Means testing process varies but certainly exists in the UK.

How are you counting this article where mainly poor people are actively participating in fraud orchestrated by rich people?

As a highly intelligent and presumably high earning person, why not hire someone else to do your taxes?

Don't think you're putting Bulgaria in a good light here. No reasonable person would think its legitimate to get a bus to another country, sign up for welfare, and get the bus home again. Those Bulgarians are not idiots, they are

There's an article about flywheel storage on hn front page right now. Not saying this solves the problem but it's an interesting contribution.

Implicitly, on-demand is also rapid. I can look up how to use a library in minutes and hours. Most people don't have jobs where they can allocate weeks or months to learning theory that they didn't need before. But such situations

I think this is what my current place had in mind when they wrote my contract. They have the option to bring me on site 'if the business needs' it. But they're happy with my work and only ask me to come in for specific meetin

'Federated Reddit' seems like a revival of the old BBSs. Hard-coding slur filters sounds like the work of Sisyphus though.

On the occasions when I have been close to a newsworthy event, I have seen/read the reports afterwards and found them quite different from my own knowledge - so I haven't had much trust in the news in a long time.

One time we did the walk-around and neither of us noticed a scratch. When I returned the car they did notice this scratch. The agent offered to look on the computer to see if it had been logged from a previous rental. Nothing in the compute
