Is the 30-50% of face value realistic for "Liquidation Value"? If one organization has to liquidate, sure. But if the bubble pops and many groups have to liquidate at once? Owners will be lucky if they can dodge the recycling fees.
You will send out some C signals. That’s inevitable. We all did. Never, never send out the same C signal twice. And make sure the balance of the signals are that you are a B.
This bit is important. It's not great if a new hire nukes production, but it doesn't preclude them from being a B or A.
Additionally being considered a C isn't necessarily a blame game. If an employee nukes production multiple times, they may not be in the right headspace to work at that company, through no fault of their own.
I've actually run into this in the wild, with regards to sales forecasting. A program we were using returned zero if the error bars on a forecast were over 100%. For example, selling somewhere between 1 and 7 units, but averaging 3.
Returning 3 was "wrong", but infinitely more correct than retuning 0.
I occasionally put on a (human-made) podcast for the word-sounds rather than the content. I can imagine others do the same without caring whether it is human-made.
It's the curb-cut effect. Just because the larger population doesn't demand something doesn't mean they won't benefit from it.
Once you get a byte-by-byte duplicate, you can start refactoring into idiomatic Rust. Convert pointers to references, rip out unsafe blocks, and let Clippy go ham.
Paypal does what? I'm sometimes nervous I only need 2 factors of authentication. 0FA seems dangerous for financial anything.
There's always something else at play. Bufferbloat hides problems from the systems that can easily solve them. It doesn't cause problems, it makes them worse.
That solution reminds me of the evil bit. However, if someone has the skills or resources to unset the bit, they likely are allowed to anyway.
If worker productivity keeps increasing, we may reach a point where it exceeds total labor required. If we keep livelyhood tied to employment, the only two options would be busywork or mass starvation.
Instead of giving people makework, we could move towards divorcing "livelihood" from "employment".
Isn't Greece's unemployment rate the highest in the E.U.? Yes, they may be "low-quality" workers applying for jobs, but if a company can't find "high-quality," they must make do.
How did we lose the art of training new hires?
It does, actually. It implies the process has just started, which is pretty substantive.
Form does follow function, at least at first. Skeuomorphism only happens because the original had design compromises that looked cool.
I think we humans will happily sacrifice aesthetics if it improves something we care about. Unfortunately, we don't care enough about baked-in obsolescence (or can't measure it).
I do wish we would look at electric cars again, to see if making them not look like cars would improve them.
The toddler got there first.
Seriously, though, it's hard to keep track of something that gets used once every five years.
For those unclear on the definitions, https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2119
I misread that as "(black water) tank" and got worried.
Slightley different. Decision Fatigue is what happens when you run low on Choice-Gas.
That one's pretty standard. When the lab is about to run out of money, they fluff up an incremental improvement as a 'major breakthrough'. No false claims or fake science involved.
Too bad.
Sometimes a business can't or won't hire a real sysadmin. The people forced into the job need guides just as much.
I'm not sure about that. Microsoft is Commoditizing its Complement. I have a free repository on GitHub that auto-deploys to a paid Azure host. If GitHub wasn't as good as it was, M$ wouldn't have my $.
...if the features of the language are used...
The Rust compiler uses Rust's features terribly, just because Rust's features were a moving target for the majority of the compiler's lifetime.
In states which require all-party consent, are things like "Hey Siri" illegal?
I can't help but be reminded of the "Neckbelt Recall" clip.

The engineers will have to fight Murphy tooth and nail to make this safe.
There ARE some HOAs that fine home owners for lacking green lawns. There's still the option of zero-scaping (covering your yard with gravel), but that is a big up-front investment.
And yet, Californians still grow rice, a pound of which requires about 300 gallons of water to grow. The 11.8 million gallons the kingpen used is enough to grow about 40 thousand pounds of rice, which is worth about $20,000. That is less than a quarter of the kingpen's water bill of $90,000.
What airline are YOU flying? I am usually on a 737 built before cell phones were invented. I consider myself lucky if the SkyMall hasn't been stolen, let alone in-flight Wi-Fi.
No mention of Islandwood (the iOS bridge), which is probably more important, if less ambitious. The missing apps preventing Windows Phone adoption are not Android-only.
What is the false-positive rate like? It would be terrible if it blocked people like Garak and Dukat.
Just a note: the "How does K-blocker work?" link just goes back to features, instead of actually telling how it works.
(Safe) Rust provides some nice guarantees. It (should be) impossible to have use-after-free, buffer overruns, race conditions, etc. in 100% Safe Rust. A pure Rust OS could provide a safe interface to build safe programs.
While mostly a novelty, an OS capable of executing untrusted code risk-free could be a powerful tool indeed.
