This. Also DOD has a similar policy. Radios are filled weekly by a key loader kept under lock and key often under better security than the armory. Lose the key loader and itâ(TM)s an immediate serious incident and a complete turnover of keys. Which is not to say police departments canâ(TM)t implement something similar. If the Army can get privates to follow the system, police departments are at least intellectually capable of doing the same thing. Whether they have the patience to follow through with it is something else.

"We both know that I'm dying."
"How do you know that you're dying?"
"I will die very soon."
"How can you love someone who dies?"

That has got to be the dumbest lines I have ever heard.

And I've watched all Pauly Shore's movies.

What the hell else are they going to say? Is there a snake oil salesman that says âoePlease donâ(TM)t buy my snake oil.â (Not that quantum computing is snake oil, but itâ(TM)s merits are probably overstated.)

Germany may not be looking at charging this idiot with murder one, but claiming it doesnâ(TM)t do so because itâ(TM)s reformist is a bit disingenuous. Americaâ(TM)s legal issues involve a lot of things (for profit prisons, southern Baptist bullshit,etc) but intent and motive is not one of them. Also, I donâ(TM)t seem to remember the bit where the American legal system aided and abetted the wholesale murder of 11 million Jews and undesirables kinda like Germany did. (Low blow but try and claim Germany is holier than America and thatâ(TM)s the reply you deserve)

Yahoo?! Stop!

Everyone else made good points to counter your argument, but let’s single out Yahoo for a moment. It didn’t fail because they used WFH. It failed because Marissa Meyer was a horrible executive who didn’t know how to manage resources and lead people. What leader automatically assumes everyone is shirking off at home? One who is about to lose a whole lot of support from their staff, as she clearly did and was summarily kicked out.

Have you seen her running anything else lately?

FWIW I do think we will go back in the office. Personal interaction is important. But it will be two or three days a week for the average company. Not four like Hastings seems to think.

Sounds like he should have had multiple accounts to rotate reviews through, if that’s feasible. Rookie mistake.

Apple obviously got a good deal on AWS services for iCloud in return. There is nothing weird in this at all. When publishers can offer a global spanning public cloud, they too will get preferable rates. Come on Slashdot, that should have been obvious.

Good communications staff usually work behind the scenes to manage the message. Bad ones come out and say stupid things like “we are better. You suck. 1337 Hax0rs rool!” This falls in the latter category,

Point taken. However, most VPNs aren’t very taxing on network bandwidth unless people are running a VDI over it. And most Telcon and VDI streams tend to terminate in a public cloud.

It’s not like people in the workplace were using a different “internet”. Everyone uses the same backbone. The only difference is that ISPs see more traffic on their residential lines.

No one ever pays list cost for AWS services. Particularly egress charges. And if you were silly enough to accept the charges, buy a direct connect and egress it yourself. That will save you millions.

I should hope they arenâ(TM)t going to Compusa. I havenâ(TM)t seen one in ages!

Leaving aside Windows vs MacOS for a moment, this is bound to happen simply because of hardware. Windows environments are always a wasteland of incompatible drivers and incomplete patching.

As opposed to Microsoft which is totally not a company that produces half baked solutions

The UAW. The union is trying to prevent the inevitable and it will eventually destroy both sides.
