Yeah that's why I'm expecting another change. When they tried banning Epic the EU said no, and Apple was forced to move to this point. I expect/hope that the EU comes back with a f…

Corporate personhood means that legally they are. If we stripped that away and let the board of governors go to jail for doing blatantly illegal stuff, then they might stop being s…

I'm really not clear on why you're arguing against this. A proper data warehouse tackles the known unknowns, i.e. supervised learning. But you can glean new insights using unsuperv…

Tell me you're a landlord without telling me you're a landlord. "How dare this fucker weasel his way out of giving me 50% of his income! That's MY money!"

It's not new either. Teddy Roosevelt ran on trust busting and defeated both the dems and republicans.

I know someone who did that in the Yukon during the winter, just monitor temperatures and crack a window when it got too hot. Seems like a great solution except that they were in a…

Welcome to University IT, where organizational structures are basically feudal (by law!). Imagine an organization where your president can't order a VP to do something, and you hav…

Yeah in the early 2000s Java was supposed to be the universal platform of write once run everywhere. And then every IT department locked Java out, so we said fuck it and wrote ever…

How dare you deny their lived experience? The OP clearly stated that it's BAD. As someone who runs a low code dev shop (I have a low/high mix of frameworks), I've already started r…

Yes, it's called consulting and it's great work if you can get a consistent client base. I genuinely wish you the absolute best of luck getting a consistent client base.

The anti-competitive bit is they have all the sales information that would typically be a trade secret for a company. Go ahead, call up your local 7-11 and ask them what their sale…

It's not a terrible result tbqh. 99.999% of airport wifi users don't know that their traffic is bridged. So unless WIFI-6 introduced some network segmentation features that I'm not…

I'm honestly seeing little value in asterisks with WFH and the move to passphrases. Feedback is important when you're typing a long phrase with complete precision. Plus shoulder su…

Yeah the cloud is a lovely weapon against the BOFH. They smarten right up when you shrug your shoulders and say "Oh, I guess I'll just buy some cloud."

Oh sure, I can justify this easy. Labour productivity vs wages doubled since the 1970s and the trend seems to be continuing. It was about 150% in 2000 so we can use Excel as as the…

PE is just a rebrand of Corporate Raiders. The fact that this worked is a testament to just how much of our media is directly controlled by Wall St.

Yeah this guy has rose coloured glasses. Remember when Java and MySQL weren't owned by Oracle? I do.

The system is working exactly as designed.

Hanlon's razor only makes sense if you're a teenager posting on reddit. Just world theory and all that. Once you get into corporate politics it's the exact opposite. God help you i…

It turns out drinking 4 cups of coffee a day for a few decades isn't great for your esophagus.

I mean, this is just MS copying everyone else. There is no "real" recession. It's basically a loosely coordinated capital strike to counteract post-pandemic wage growth. Jay will k…

It's worth pointing out that the free market would replace it with BYD. Economics are politics, and as such are a little more complicated than that one chart you saw in high school…

And this is why I use Oracle Apex lol

This made me think of Twitter's "fail whale". And then I remembered that mess of spaghetti PHP sold for 44 billion dollars and now I'm rethinking my life.

Uh you do realize "judicial review" is a thing. And also "judges completely ignoring the law" is another. Civil law is an interesting solution to that problem. Lets go live to Pari…
