How is that an oxymoron? Code that works does not always mean it works well or reliably. For example, some AAA game titles in the last several years have launched and ran poorly on the hardware. It sometimes takes a few patches before those games are playable. In the realm of video games one legendary code optimization is Carmack's Reverse which was used to generate realistic shadows. id software's John Carmack discovered the technique independently of William Bilodeau and Michael Songy from Creative Labs. Before that time shadows under players and objects were generic ovals.

At one of my companies, one of the marketing managers decided to use his department's budget to buy desktops directly from Dell instead of going through IT to get his employees computers. His justification was it was cheaper to buy from Dell directly than request Dell computers through IT. Except he bought consumer models and didn't know why that was a bad idea. So they were not covered by the company's service contract with Dell and the IT department had to support them out of pocket. Also being consumer models, they had Windows Home, and some hardware had to be upgraded due to lack of drivers for Windows Enterprise. In the end, those cheaper models cost the company twice compared to company supported ones he could have ordered.

To no one's surprise, people with knowledge and experience often have to fix what people without them did. Businesses were shocked to learn that amateurs really do not know what they are doing. When asked for opinions, trades people in other professions like plumbers and electricians laughed.

From my perspective, lithium ion battery is a mature technology; however, not everyone who makes/uses a lithium ion battery uses the highest quality materials or practices. A quick scan on Amazon will show many devices of varying price and quality. If that battery fails in six months due to fire, it will be high unlikely that some of those companies would still exist on paper.

Fire departments have already begun to change their strategy when dealing with lithium ion fires when it comes to EVs. It can takes enormous amounts of water and time to put out an EV fire so the new strategy is to let the fire burn itself out.

For all the people I know, companies had Teams as it came with Office in the past. Our IT department wanted everyone to use it instead of Zoom as it was free while Zoom had additional licensing costs. No one did. Now that Teams is a separate cost, the IT department no longer encourages people to use it. Personally I keep it from loading and staying in the background as I have caught it using 100% cpu for absolutely no reason many times.

In the context of this thread, the claim is Starship has only brought 16 tons to low Earth orbit while Saturn V could bring 140 tons to LEO. Then another person chimed in that 140 tons did not include fuel to reach LEO. That is false. 140 tons of payload to LEO was within Saturn Vs capability.

The target audience for this watch has never been the middle class. These Garmin watches have always been geared towards amateur or professional athletes specifically runners and triathletes. Their market is the kind of people who spend $300 on a pair of shoes they replace every 3-6 months and entry fees that start at $200 per race.

You mean besides the part that it explodes before reaching orbit? Pretty sure companies wanting their payloads to reach orbit care about that part.

I remember when the mask thing came up how many Trumpers parroted the idea that no person could breathe with them. This despite decades of people using them and miraculously living. Of course they always asked for "proof" that people could breathe. I listed doctors especially surgeons, dentists for decades. Most recently nail technicians and commercial painters. That does not include people who work in industrial settings where masks are required.

Well that is a lie. The Saturn V payload was 140,000 kg or 155 short tons to LEO and 50 tons to lunar orbit. So, yes, the Saturn V could bring 140 tons to orbit.

That is a lot of words to confirm that vehicle is not currently ready for commercial payloads and will not be in the near future. Current payloads are worth tens of millions, and no one is trusting that to this vehicle.

Unrestricted means without restriction. Warrants should cover very specific things to seize. For example, if a search warrant is for a murder weapon and clothes worn during the murder, the police cannot decide the suspect's extensive vinyl record collection can be seized too.

While your example might detail how the police can know about the video in the second case, the problem is the scope of both warrants limit what the police can seize. Why would the police bother seizing vacation videos when looking for tax records? The other problem is while first accountant only used paper records how would the police know that? When requesting a search warrant the police would likely asked for any digital tax files as well.
