What an obtuse comment. For a single person, yes, moving based on employer might make sense. I have a wife, who owns a business tied to the community. I have kids in school. I have family and social commitments in my neighbourhood. Why

I have no objections to Microsoft as a company, I primarily use Windows on my personal devices since I am an avid gamer, and I enjoy several of the tools Microsoft publishes (VS Code, Visual Studio, most of the office suite). The software i

Decent isn't good enough though. It runs slowly, meetings lag periodically (at least on Mac), and the "everything else" is the part that is mandatory (accessing and reviewing assignments with my kids at school, accessing and

I will be blunt. Teams is an awful user experience; I have been using online collaboration tools since the BBS days, and while I appreciate and understand why and what they are trying to build, it is bad software. Every single experience I

>Why? Because of layoffs? Thats not a reason to unionize. Maybe what we should be doing is asking our CEOs, GMs, product people, etc why we need to go on these hiring sprees in the first place, which seem to put the entire employee base

VB6 is an entirely different beast. A professional VB6 developer who didn't have formal training was very well insulated from what their code actually did - that's not to say that they weren't, or that their weren't ext

I don't think that's accurate. The bigger issue is economic access - poor people can't afford to stock up since they are often living paycheque to paycheque. Even middle class folks living in dense urban centres have access

It's a small accounting firm in a city with around 25,000 people. Given the time frame (March 2022) for the termination and dispute, it's likely the employee was a contract employee hired on the basis of billable hours to assist

That's a lie that people tell themselves. It is fairly safe at most public beaches if: * you follow the posted signs for rules (e.g. where it's safe to dive, staying in marked areas), flags for current conditions * pay attention

I couldn't possibly see how studios would abuse buying up rights to content and shelving them... looks at the fiasco related to content being shelved at WB for tax write-offs Under that model corporations could buy up content that sh

I mean, no, they don't. But Google pays $15B/year to be the default search engine. That's a hefty bill to keep Apple out of the search game.

Raise money. Use raise as an asset to secure credit. Accrue liabilities during normal business operations. Fail to generate revenue and raise more money and credit. Demonstrate growth without profit. Rinse, repeat.

Immutable, decentralized ledgers are useful for things (oh, hey CT logs, how do you do?). Immutable decentralized ledgers are not useful for legal constructs like ownership, since in the current (and foreseeable) legal construct of property

As fun as things like that are, AFAIK most of those types of PoC exploits are done using SOHO printers. There are two specific cases I am thinking of, one where a pile of extremely confidential data was captured by pulling documents that h

Nah; with years of experience in the security space, and a chunk of those working at a browser vendor, watching bug classes vanish (even if it's the expense of some usability) is worth it when I imagine the tears of bad guys who have t

It's also intimidating to people who have been using it for a long time as well. The proliferation of new features some of which compete with each other, and the lack of focus and polish on some of those features make it frustrating to

"security vs. convenience is a tradeoff" is an extremely glib and meaningless aphorism that is instinctively innate to almost every living organism. The statement obliterates the nuance of which tradeoffs need to be made and the c

Do you actually have something to add to the conversation? Your comments haven't particularly meaningful or insightful, so that's a genuine question. There isn't a complete picture here. In this particular case, Keffals sha
