The study cited uses OECD data. If the US does not adhere to the OECD guidelines for the data fields, for example by collecting a too broad measure and not correcting for it, studies are going to compare apples to pears. Not saying that the

Agree with this. Been on quite large deal teams in non-tech. We always made fun of the lawyers and merchant banks. They bring dozens of teens to do chores, sit in on meetings where serious business is conducted (best one was 2x4 people talk

Don’t tell me “fork” and “four” are related. Did my homework: “Old English forca, force (denoting a farm implement), based on Latin furca ‘pitchfork, forked stick’; reinforced in Middle English by Anglo-Norman French furke (also from Latin

As part of non-IT management I'm culpable of last-minute changes in business strategy / tactics. Easy to disparage (How can strategy change last-minute? It's like starting with soccer, but ending with rugby.), but market circ

I would presume this is like capturing rainbows or beautiful skies by photo. Harder than it seems. You can’t capture the dampening effect of the environment by (regular?) microphone.

A part of become a good runner is letting go of expectations. There is a lot of quasi meditative written on the topic, but even if that’s not your thing: even if you walk/jog/walk to retain a constant, middle to low heart rate you

I think this is mostly true. Perhaps truer still is that the US willingly had rules that massively reduced their market power in negotiations, which in a game of parallel negotiations leads to the obvious price discrimination. You cannot bl

That's pretty universal (worldwide) I guess? White collar corporate staff that is predominantly unversity educated. That still doesn't mean the curriculum is or should be corporation directed or focused. I know little about this,

Rent seeking causes that correlation (so there is actually a causal relationship): Some professions require certain university degrees. They pay high wages. Universities found out they can extract a rent on future earnings of potential entr

I’ve been in finance for nearly 20 years and okay, so, I’m kind of hesitant to admit… this is so great. Would love for my controllers to create such graphical flows of operating results. At some scale accounting gets pretty hard (hard as in

You’d actually want to think a bit more. Where is your paper decryption key? Is it off premises? Test a, some or all of the files in the archive. Boot into an ISO. Try it again. And that for all of your backups. It’s not a backup until it i

I find it wonderful that the IASB lets these non-GAAP shenanigans continue to be. They could easily create a much larger distinction between GAAP and non-GAAP accounting, for instance by requiring a stronger separation in the presentation o

An RPA-team that does work for me as a client told me that with a certain system they just use a 20 second window between actions. The robot is not much faster than colleagues, but a lot more sturdy and appreciative of menial work. I curse

So this just bit for bit dumps a NVMe device to another location. That’s clear. So all encryption just is transferred and not touched. But doesn’t the next machine go into panic when you boot? There are probably many changes in the underlyi

I'm a worrier about things like these. I always imagined that's why the roof in the bathroom is lower and curved. A lot less room for gaining vertical speed. So you'd be temporarily stuck to the ceiling and perhaps a bit dirt

I wonder about the strength of the argument. It’s a 80 versus 120 people study, with the adverse events being quite low chance events and the risk very much driven by age and lifestyle.

We should find a nice name for people wasting time at discussions with a AI-bot. Bornbir seems a one-person troll shop. For them to entertain and harass dozens (or are the others AIs too and am I stuck in the past) is very wasteful.

It is the most shitty (and stupid) way possible to act though. Old price x 12 is not in good faith. Contracts are based on good faith. Give them a rationale, give them a deadline 24 months hence and a fair price increase. Dare to say no to

This does read like a slight snark (the step from 'fringe' to 'mainstream' - who wants to be mainstream?). It further emphasises the point that in the 80s and early 90s looking for non-local 'long tail' music a

I’ll give you good odds that if you ever talk to the CFO about the transactions they personally sign off on, it’s a lot of emails and spreadsheets passed around. Processes are there for the little people, the big ones are chefsache. I also

At the end of the day even in large firms you only need to fool three or four eyes. Those eyes might get a lot of transactions to process and a certain sense of complacency might occur. The hope is that automatic controls will aid those hum
