Comment Re:It's a good thing customer service reps (Score 1) 72

T-Mobile should solve the problem.

They should do tests like this periodically and see if anyone responds, and give a small payout to those that report.

If they don't randomly and hit the vulnerable employees approximately once a year it would be very little cost (give them a small gift card less than $50).

Employees that fail to report get extra training, employees that buy in get fired.

Now the calculous isn't $300 for a potential jobloss/criminal situation vs nothing.

It's $50 for if it's a test, vs certain jobloss if it isn't.

$50/employee/year probably costs them far less than past fast and loose with numbers have cost them in the past.

Why isn't 10 bit useful on the web? Reasonably priced displays are catching up, especially on mobile.

This is like the amb64 replacement for x86, it's backwards compatible. It seems to me it could likely take off where the "better" solutions have failed the same way amd64 eventually became the standard for 64 bit home computers.

There doesn't seem to be much not to like about this (except for the lack of alpha channel).

Because they paid me for 9 months and got me a better job after I drank the Kool aid.

There's a shocking number of people that drink the Kool aid, that's why companies do that stupid team building stuff.

If I'm in a place in life where I don't want to work as much, and the company I work for gets me an easier job. When something comes up, I can maintain the stay easy by hiring said company. Seems like I'd do it.

Comment Re:"Fast" is relative (Score 1) 103

I'd be pretty happy with 35/20 (enough for an UHD stream and some overhead down and to do work in a reasonable time up).

But I think 100/20 is pretty reasonable, though I don't think I'd have a problem with 50/20 being the definition.

The old definition of allowing 3 up was pretty bad around here.

I had to go to 200/20 to get over 6 up and it was quite expensive, whole 250/6 was pretty cheap (second cheapest plan with an add on for 250/6, and a very premium plan to get that 20 up).

I'm sure I'm not the only person that found basic and standard packages woefully inadequate for working from home over the last few years.

Comment Re:What is Cash Flow Management (Score 1) 29

I think it's more "will there be enough cash next quarter to cover the loans and leave some to re invest/pay shareholders, or do I need to keep it in the bank".

Not exactly cash flow, but I assume next is risk management. Like maybe tell Silicone Valley Bank that having all of your money in long term treasuries is actually extremely risky, because even thought the note is safe over the term, the current value can fluctuate (a lot).

Cash flow predictions are an excellent application for machine learning, though I would think a monoculture of everyone outsourcing it has real risk to the economy (hopefully the risk management AI will warn companies that if everyone makes the same wrong prediction they'll be fucked).
