Some people stay at good places for a few years each. That's great for gaining valuable experience and developing good judgement, but it's lousy for building a large professional network. And all of those pros and cons are amplified for roles at smaller companies.

Ah, yes. The 25-year-old cofounders, fresh from their PhDs, with some seed funding but no real industry experience. I've met a few of those over the years, too. Their ideas about how to run a successful business are often... different... aren't they?

buy a company with an earned reputation for quality, then cut, cut, cut costs to sell shoddy junk to the rubes. Line your pockets and scoffer off before the whole thing collapses around your ears.

Winter will be unchanged. There will be no going to school in the dark any more than there is now. Winter is the normal time. Summer is daylight savings time. If we don't switch to daylight savings time in the summer, there will be many hours of sunlight before most people wake up. Wasted sunlight, so to speak. The purpose of daylight savings time is to get us all up a bit earlier (zulu time) in the summer so we can enjoy more of the daylight.

Nicene Creed? Christ on a crutch. How many people do you think can really recite it? I mean I was raised as a catholic. But I stopped going to mass eons ago. I think we recite it during mass. But most other Christian services seem a lot less ritualistic than Catholicism. Do they recite it?

I could care less.

Me neither.

If this actually happens, it will be less than 5 years before we start wishing we could have it back.

They said there was no evidence of alien (ET) spacecraft.

That allows them to make a factually correct statement while not admitting continual egregious airspace incursions by Grand Fenwick.

"rabble rabble DEI"

Your are 100% correct, but not how you think.

Boeing's deadly problems stem from keeping the McD MBAs and letting go Boeing Engineers and technicians.

I can't waits to dig into some hot meaty mammoth ribs!
Yabba dabba doo!

I used to tilt at that windmill. But that ship has sailed. It's water under the bridge now. The dogs bark as the caravan rolls on. "Begging the question" doesn't mean what it used to anymore.

You are probably going to get downvoted, but this is a legitimate issue, at least in some regions. Widespread use of solar has changed the dyamic. If we look at demand net of solar supply, the demand curve has changed in the following ways.

1) The lowest demand is lower. This has pushed baselod generation off grid

2) The rise in demand when the sun goes down is very steep. This creates challenges for the utility. They need to have a lot of generation (or batteries) available that can spool up fairly quickly.

As far as economics go, this means that the rapid spool up generators have to charge pretty high rates. They can't charge the low rates that baseload supply charges. Because many of the costs associated with generation do not depend on how much electricity you sell. There is infrastructure cost that is amortized over time, personnel cost, etc.

All of this has been anticipated for decades. So there was plenty of time to do something about it. But a lot of utilities spent all their effort trying to fight against it instead of figuring out how to make it work.

Arguing that restricting the choice of software that can run on your platform is just another layer of defence in depth is a pretty long reach when your platform is a general purpose consumer device. I mean, you could lock your phone away, air gapped and inside a Faraday cage, and it'd also have extra layers of security. It wouldn't be very useful as a phone, though.

Here's a lesson from someone who has actually done serious security work for a very long time: there is no such thing as perfect security. Practical security is always about compromise, trying to balance the need for a system to be useful with the need to protect that system according to your threat model. If Apple are so worried about all the layers that sit within and below the OS that they don't think they can achieve a reasonable standard of security without also controlling the choice of available apps then yes, that absolutely is an open admission that they don't have confidence in the security their OS and platform.

Sorry, I'll include the /s next time. The point of my GP comment was exactly that you can't install a real privacy-friendly browser on iOS because Apple won't let you.

Battery companies hate this guy.

Make your batteries safer with this one weird trick.
