I agree with your broader point but the chicken food safety thing is missing a ton of important nuance. The safety comes from how long you hold the meat at the temp. 165 is the saf…

No but I’ve been in post mortems where ceo’s have acknowledged that a culture of reliability was needed and then they followed through with a subsequent reset of expectations aroun…

If bugs slip through it’s a process failure, same as it ever was. So everyone associated with the process is at fault. From the ceo on down.

Usually the dominant time is from POS to acceptor. These are frequently still on high latency links. Also a lot of times in person payment flows allow a lot more in their latency b…

Through capital and currency controls, the yuan is structurally undervalued between 9 and 25% depending on your source. That’s a direct transfer from the Chinese consumer to the Ch…

My cousin served more than a decade on nuclear subs and he is one of the least yogi/monk like people I’ve met. Virtually no one who knows him would say he exhibits lots of self con…

My wife worked for a company that specialized in rebinding paperbacks for schools and libraries. It makes more economic sense to do that for niche use cases rather than make all pr…

Books in the 17th and 18th century often didnt get bound by the publisher. They were done by independent binders for _custom_ orders. You’d see whole libraries with the owners bind…

He absolutely can, but would expect to be sued in court. In Texas, where we don’t know what shareholder protections exist because the case law is so immature compared to Delaware. …

A war doesn’t need to be sustainable for Ukraine, it’s existential. For the aggressor that backstop doesn’t exist. They could literally stop the war anytime they wanted so they nee…

There goes Paul being Paul.

It’s a Buffy the vampire slayer reference and you know it.

You can get that working for yourself trivially. My agent environment now has 3 different kinds of compute abstractions, 3 different agents and a nascent workflow engine in it. It …
