The idea of the wealthy robber barons knowing better is actually no new. It's a renewal of what the old robber barons like Rockefeller and Carnegie et al espoused.
I'm their defense, most places I have stayed have never asked me to actually clean. They usually just ask that you take the trash out and do a few other things that could leave the place smelly if no one comes in the next day or two to clean.
I wouldn't say it was totally awful. At least, prior to having an Undo option or perhaps an undo but that can only go back 3 steps, saving as before making any large changes was a pretty common workflow. I might end up with 50 versions of a document numbered incrementally by the time I was finished. that is still a necessary workflow for certain types of documents. I don't necessarily want everything saved automatically all the time.
Alex Jones has far more listeners than Nancy Grace has ever had. He was pulling down 8 figures selling fake boner pills and tin foil hats on his merch website.
he specifically called out parents by name, constantly made claims that they were obviously crisis actors, showed pictures of the parents, and did nothing when his listeners started harassing the parents daily.
You seem to be completely uninformed about the case. Jones has repeatedly defied the court, hidden evidence, refused to comply. He spent years lying about the parents causing them to be harassed constantly. Ruining their already ruined lives. He caused these parents to have to move multiple times to get away from his insane listeners. All the while, privately, Jones knew he was wrong. We know this from his private communications that his own attorneys accidentally turned over. To this day, Jones continues to spout lies about the court and the judge after multiple court orders and contempts of court. No amount of money is enough to undo the damage Jones has done. But taking it all is at least a start. He is a sociopathic cancer and deserves to be in jail.
You only ever have one quarterback playing for a team at once. no matter how successful the team becomes. presumably with a company, you are constantly growing and should need to grow your talent pool constantly. And how do I know that next year's new recruits are going to be as good as this year's pip'ed employees?
Normally that would be ok, but considering the way many systems are setup to load balance and quickly spin up new servers and spin down un-needed servers on the fly, one business day would not give you enough time to revamp your system to work with a different provider.
Unfortunately, it is an accurate and necessary term. Because while you might think that you are free to buy and resell anything you want without problem, the courts have made the issue much more grey than black and white. see the Omega v Costco lawsuit for an example.
the rescue included brute force as well as strategy. they had to run all their pumps just to keep the water levels near the entrance from rising too high for the rescue operation. they were basically fighting against the ever rising water levels just to keep them steady.
The thing I see as worrying with Milei is that while he is an economist, and seems to be using economic principles to drive his thinking, he has also mixed in an unhealthy dose of culture war nonsense and other politics into his strategy. He claims almost all journalists in Argentina are corrupt and just write lies about him, which I find to be a suspicious claim. He also thinks that Trump is a wonderful and selfless human who is making sacrifices for his country and the same of Elon Musk. So he is obviously a very poor judge of character and it makes me question his own character.
What's weird, is that they are heuristic next token predictors. But that prediction, mixed with a little randomness is producing very seemingly "reasoned" responses.
I don't have a judgement in this particular case. But I really hate the nobody is perfect argument, especially considering the current political climate. We are all sinners, but we are not all equally bad sinners. Some are deplorable and some are just imperfect and there are a million shades of grey in between. And I don't know where to draw the line, but I can at least make a judgement if you are obviously far, far over that line.
I'm struggling to think of a reason that an employee would have for trying to hide small package delivery expenses. Was there some kind of incentive for reducing said expenses? and if so, why would the potential recipient of an incentive have access to internal accounting systems?
I especially agree with your point about Cisco trucks (although I think you meant Sysco, an important distinction since we are comparing food supply to networks). The fact is, there are plenty of ways to poison the food supply in our current society. Even ways that might minimize your ability to be discovered. And yet it is rarely tried. But networks are infiltrated all the time. I think partially because networks are accessible from anywhere in the world. No pants (as you said) or passport required.
I can understand why they might do this. Many people who own a small business underpay themselves significantly and use the extra funds on the business to build up assets. This defers taxes and allows the funds to be reinvested without tax. They might even take out loans on those business assets. The same way the wealthy will pay themselves a tiny salary and just live off the asset value of their stock. Someone who owns their own business could also easily drop their salary significantly for the year prior to applying to college.
while outages definitely cause big problems in hospitals and schools, neither are completely dependent on connectivity in the short term. most hospitals are required to be able to operate critical services in an outage. even a full power outage. Schools will definitely be fine. they just may have a serious backlog of entering grades, absences, and payroll once things get back online.
