Tax cuts are used more often when the government wants to see more private investment into an industry. Not really an issue with 'AI' right now. Direct subsidy is more common when …

10 EC votes to Biden. 0 to trump and no hope of any in this year's election. 1/8 red house seats. The other 7 very comfortably blue. The rest of the state doesn't seem like it matt…

Republican side probably doesn't care; Maryland voted 65% for a democratic party president.

Not in 3 years each of experience in 'this specific nodejs library' and 'gcp networking' and 'foundationdb'.

Another entry in the 'marketing and technical terms don't mean the same thing despite using the same words' saga.

Good validation of the 'fail early' strategy. If the door came off when they were higher up it would have been worse. However, this failure seems to have not followed a strategy; t…

He understands that if he keeps spouting this stuff the stock keeps going up.

Not my intention, sorry! Big organisations are stable , mostly due to the often frustrating inertia and lack of risk taking coupled with their existing, mature revenue streams.

Like with any other business, you talk to the sales team and come to an agreeable middle ground. We don't pay 'list' for gitlab SaaS.

I think this trend to talk about startup practices in large orgs is more executive nostalgia and a complaint about all the processes put in place to catch mistakes that have been m…

The best translation, however, is from Fortinet's clarifying statement. https://mastodon.social/@jasonkoebler/111892744775689047 "It appears that due to translations the narrative …

Amazing, and I've somehow managed to find each and every one of 'em over time in various comment threads, here and elsewhere.

If there's serious work that can't be effectively done any other way then complex and esoteric cooling setups to overcome those challenges are fine to design and use. Not sure what…

It's different when it's a deliberate conspiracy to mislead consumers, especially when that consumer is choosing services that advertise that a safe vehicle will be used. If they j…

I think of it as another type of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_curse

MBAs are fine, honestly. I have a manager who came up in the industry he works in. He worked at the 'coal-face', understands the issues and has real perspective. He got an MBA late…

Counteroffers are 'stem the skills bleed' at best. People who take counteroffers were annoyed enough to look in the first place, and know they're valued enough elsewhere to get a m…

It's as coherent as broadcom's 'new IP'

I've done a few New Zealand to Houston trips on the Dreamliner and I find the vibration, temperature and humidity to be totally hostile compared to the A350. Maybe it's a personal …
