Once you’ve cracked that one, you can get billing tenure by working out how to explain the Azure invoice….

Why is the problem assumed to be middle management? Maybe middle management is the only thing preventing the company going from successful dumpster fire to unsuccessful dumpster fi…

I disagree - it’s extremely easy to film on your phone covertly. If someone wants to film you without you noticing they will be able to do so.

I imagine you’re saying that as a software engineer :). As a manager of both software engineers and product managers, I think this view is a bit of a stretch. Some software enginee…

True, but the chance of you being healthy diminishes strongly over time, and the chance of you being as healthy as your younger self is probably zero.

Personally I'm not sure why people are fixating on this particular point - companies rarely tend to lay off their high performers. Sometimes they might axe entire divisions and tha…

You should never be taking the advice on such a thing from the person who has a vested interest in you buying it. Although you could well be right about the nature of the transacti…

Yes, the $5 wrench in action. The only protection against that is to not have the information on the device or in any account associated with or used from the device. Impractical f…

I’d argue that what an NFT really is is a vehicle for laundering huge amounts of dirty money. The banana, the angle of the banana the certificate itself are all theatre, designed t…

Correct, as a London bike commuter for over a decade I can confirm that nobody in their right mind uses a shared cycle path. They’re dangerous for pedestrians, and you can’t make a…

I was aware of this being the case when dealing with consumers, but had assumed that because B2B contracts are assumed to be between 2 sophisticated parties that there is little le…

My source: I review a lot of contracts. It's very common for things to be explicitly required. Yes you can go back and forth and argue the toss, but it pushes up the cost of the sa…

Alas in the world of B2B, contracts from larger companies nearly always come with lists of specific requirements for security controls that must be implemented, which nearly always…

That's the point though - if you get your fitness up then 600 kcal/hour should be possible on the bike and it should be sustainable to do day after day at that volume. Mix in the o…

I agree with running but not cycling - I’d say it’s merely a question of how hard you try. Cycling is one of the very few sports (along with maybe swimming) that you can do for ext…

As a European I chuckled particularly at the warning about the “steep and winding nature” and “challenging drive” of highway 1. It’a one of the easiest and most relaxing drives i’v…

Definitely not every road stage, but on a flat stage if your aim was to break away and stay away you should absolutely do surely? Nobody ever has…

The aero drag is the elephant in the room here. By this study’s measurements there wasn’t much difference, but what was the width of the rim they used with the narrow tyre? A narro…

I hear what you're saying and that would normally make sense, but there are reasons why I don't think its true in the bike industry. It comes down to the same arguments that you of…

>And I think you're severely overestimating wheel life span for modern models, at least due to the fact that carbon is more brittle than more pedestrian materials. Just look for Po…

I don't share your optimism about the strength of the scientific method in pro-cycling :) It's not too long ago (admittedly in the pre-disc brake era) that climbers would have thei…

You could be right about that. Hookless is an awful idea that benefits nobody...

It can't work like that in the world of mass produced equipment. You can only buy what the manufacturers are making, and as far as I'm aware there haven't been any wheels that are …

Unfortunately you cannot discount the “sponsor effect” here. Wheel manufacturers have been pushing wider rims because it helps them sell another set of wheels to everyone. In the d…

It is (source: I work in an org like this), but your aim as a leader, the VP in this case, is to do whatever is necessary to enable your team to succeed, given the constraints that…
