I don’t think it’s the parking attendants, grocery store cashier's, or cleaners job to “commit to their craft.” That’s a load of nonsense, and it’s also not in a normal contract. S…

If it was only to gap fill then that sounds reasonable, but other risks here is the voice agent picks up slack and lowers the pressure for staffing and working on solving these pro…

They didn’t just fail to develop a mobile processor, they laughed and said no when Apple came knocking got the iPhone 1 and so Apple went to Motorola. So much of Intels decline ree…

Snapchat is overwhelmingly the primary way my much younger sister uses to talk to people of her age, discord is the second. It was quite surprising, I was also surprised people of …

In 2018 there was 9 updates to the Olsson timezone database, it's not as irregular as you'd think. It doesn't always get communicated with notice, and sometimes applies retroactive…
