It's an action though, "the time that XXX'ed them". Birthed fits there well, berthed does not. Had it said "the time they were berthed to" I would understand your point better. Perhaps you're right and it

Most of the big consultancies are also big accounting firms, where there is a fair amount of incentive for sign-offs to mean something, or at least have some serious risk if that sign-off isn't impartial or well researched. I believe t

You're assigning some notion that berthed means berthed in a home port. Ships are berthed in many different places and times. So the "time which berthed them" just doesn't work.

"Scapegoat as a service" is my favorite turn of phrase for that.

Because each airlines knows their competitors will lose margin if fares don't go up. The new rules are more expensive. So someone will raise the fares, and the competition won't significantly undercut the pricing change.

It almost works, but "berthed" doesn't imply "created", since it means something more like "parked". So that doesn't read right with: "The destiny of all books is to become unmoored from the tim

In the story, he calls out a team working 120 hours a week, after first ramping to 100 hours/week for a while...in what seems like a example he's wanting people to follow.

What's sort of interesting about that catalyst of “steady weakness in the daily numbers” is that it didn't equate to a plateau, decline, etc... It was that the ad dollars weren't, for the umpteenth time, exceeding YoY growt

Collectively, blackballing people with a criminal past has negative effects not just for those people.

The argument isn't about whether to disqualify someone for a job that involves driving if they have a DUI, at least to me. I mentioned the Australian system...when the employer sends the candidate name/info and the complete job de

The scoring system doesn't necessarily reflect reality. Separately, there is a drive towards a sort of "social credit rating" that I do think is a bad thing. In the narrower space of having a criminal history, the US is very

It does have upsides. Though the python runtime version management story suffers from being fragmented. It gets complex if you add poetry, IDEs, different types of shells (gitbash, power shell, zsh, etc), things that have their own ideas

Spent a little time poking around to see what this is... It's a bare-bones hosting service with a limited free tier (25MB asset storage), and a cheap premium tier (10GB asset storage for $2/month). The big selling point is this:

The most popular targets for Visicalc at the beginning were 6502 and z80 machines, where really no C compiler was ever good for those targets.

It's interesting to me that some of the long-standing things are still there. For example, lots of people with an earring in only one ear, unlikely asymmetry in the shape or size of their ears, etc.

I'm not trying to rationalize my emotional reactions and say they make logical sense. Just explaining why they are there. But, if there was a long time period where almost no open source software went commercial...you would be conditi

It probably feels like bait and switch for the folks that created or used lots of open source in the time period where there was less opportunity/temptation to move the license from GPL/BSD/MIT to something proprietary. In o

I really liked that the phone was mine, work didn't call me. The pager was for work, and they had to use that to get me to come in for issues. Nice clean separation.

I would guess you wouldn't even need to make it a weapon. Just airdrop ready-to-use drugs across their positions. Enough bored and/or shell shocked soldiers will self administer.

There's precedent that points in both directions. There was a fair amount of research when there was a push for transparency in hospital pricing for services in the US. One piece of research: https://portal.ct.gov/-&#
