"You can't afford IT security experts checking every email"

So have amateurs do it? You can't afford that either.

More importantly, did the individual contributors have knowledge of where the contact from the real external vendor would come from?

It is irrational to expect anyone to derive the proper domain for an email from first principles.

In a mature system, multiple components have to fail for a system level accident to occur. If an accident occurs either your system is immature or you had multiple components fail. In either case, it is useless to blame any individual component including the individual user.

My prior employer used Proof Point which rewrites all the URs, which mean you can't actually see where the link goes but they still bitched at the users about about clicking links to questionable domains.

"recognizing the indicators of where of an unexpected domain in the sender and a questionable link domain is worth training"

What were the indicators in this case? The individual contributors were expecting contact from an external vendor that they had never been contacted by before. How are they supposed to know what the right domain is the first time that external vendor contacts them?

"I have to assume"

Based on what?

The individual contributors where given knowledge that leads them to expect top be contacted by an external vendor. The situation is due to a rare circumstance, so so individual contributor has knowledge who the external vendor is so that they can check that the message is coming form the right source.

How could any rational person expect the individual contributor to get that right?

The rest of us get annoyed that you build infrastructure so fragile that one click can bring the company down.

Also, the rest of us get annoyed when you send out vague and contradictory instructions to identify "things you shouldn't click" that can't actually distinguish things you shouldn't click form things that you should and then act smug when no one would be able to correctly classify them classify them who does not already know the answer.

The employees were given information that led them to expect contact from an external vendor in a circumstance that is uncommon so that no one knew what that specific external vendor would be. There is no way for the individual contributor to get the correct answer.

Average utilization in the UK is ~50%. Generating capacity is sized for peak instantaneous demand, so they have plenty available at non-peak hours for storage to time-shift the load.

"If a factory opens in a less prosperous state isn't that a good thing?"

If they were going to do productive work then it would be possible for the net value to be greater than the cost of putting that work in that location, though not guaranteed.

But we all know this isn't productive work; it's to work around a pointless import ban. All TP-Link needs is to beat the prior supplier surplus after deadweight loss.

Getting rid of law schools but continuing to legislate is like getting rid of engineering schools but continuing to build bridges.

"What Romney's School taught him is how to break the law without breaking the law. "

Did Harvard Business School teach him that or Harvard Law School? (Mitt Romney has both an MBA and a JD.)

The problem with resorting to piracy is that they think we are rejecting their prices, which they think they can combat with more ads and tighter security.

If we are in fact rejecting their bad customer relations and bad business practices and bad products regardless of price the only way to send that message is to not engage with their products or their businesses.

Some things are not worth stealing.

"Jamie's version of the show"

Jamie's version of the show is the one with Adam. He specifically recruited Adam because he know with just Jamie there was no show.

"a possibility to open"

Turns out, this one does have a possibility to open.

"how they were able to eliminate 3 positions"

-1, strawman

The actual claim is that it takes same amount of paid labor per customer in both scenarios therefore they *haven't* eliminated 3 positions..
