Oh wow, $GLAB is down 31.68% YTD and they are announcing a massive restructuring and work force reduction. Is this th en---oh wait, AI!!!

Sounds like both a lack of trust and communication between you and the team. > If you have better metrics or management skills than what everyone in the world has figured out, myse…

Call your credit card company. They can block a merchant, perform a chargeback, and/or issue a new credit card number. I don’t know the rules for a debit card, but you’ll at least …

FWIW, actually, one thing I learned in practice that’s wasn’t highlighted in my Algorithms course: overhead (constant C) matters. You can feel good about yourself for choosing an a…

I've removed one and never heard anything. I doubt they even check if it's functioning unless they are attempting to repossess the car. As I recall, some modules have the ability t…

We leased a new Jeep Cherokee from a Miami dealership some time ago. It was a company car and was financed. Some months later we noticed the odometer was blinking constantly so we …

In Colorado a law was recently passed to deal with this. According to [0]: "During its initial committee hearing, sponsoring state Rep. Mary Young, D-Greeley, said allegations of n…

Presumably the City of Los Angles isn't confronting the problem due to an unwillingness to spend funds. If she is successful, the cost of doing nothing will increase. So her goal i…

Yes. Back of envelope, took physics in college many years ago[1] analysis: E=mc^2, or energy = mass * (speed of light)^2. According to Wikipedia a candle can produce 77 watts of en…

While both RB and AVL trees grow at O(lg N) height, the constant for AVL trees is smaller. This means that for a large AVL tree it might be 1 or 2 layers shorter than the equivalen…

I would be surprised if they did this for Workspace accounts. Deleting data from a organization would be a disaster for Google. I.e. an account may be at a center of a lawsuit or s…

From a security stand point you should at least have uBlock Origin installed for Chrome and Firefox. It can block JavaScript easily. I would trust NoScript as well which provides f…

Yeah, but in this instance we’re talking about Facebook. I could care less about what Apple charges them. I do feel for indie developers and don’t support the 30% fee, but in the c…

I wish insurers weren't so heavy handed with this technology. If it's possible to tell if someone is a "good" or "bad" driver via this technology, why not at least just tell the dr…

There have been no reports of either Google or Apple selling personal data to a third party. It is against there privacy policies and stated intentions. Google certainly collects a…

It’s so strange to me that after all this time they’re sticking with the high fee. The App Store is a major feature of the iOS platform and Apple benefits greatly from a healthy ap…

Google is not operating at a loss, however. They are not paying people exorbitant salaries to keep them from working at smaller companies. They are paying them six figure salaries …

I don't think Google is operating at a total loss when they pay a developers these salaries? Software is making Google (and many other tech companies) hundreds of billions per year…

Tell your credit card company that it’s an unauthorized charge and request a new credit card. Some will even ship it expedited for free if you request it.

But they do this already. In Colorado many insurers raised rates when we had a large hail storm that caused widespread damage. Allstate roughly doubled my premium because of it (or…

Well, let's see. They're soliciting for _donations_ to a business that hasn't asked for it and possibly doesn't need it. I doubt JWZ needs it. If you want to throw money at somethi…

Are you giving your opinion as a legitimate “subject expert” or should we take it as a “non-expert” opinion?

It irks me too, but I can't really argue with the decision. X11's model of remote rendering is flawed; try starting up Firefox over a tunneled SSH connection sometime. In order to …

I suspect the Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and Fukushima Daiichi incidents also had a part to play in public perception.
