> Maybe. Anonymity is where bad actors play. The problem is when the government changes the definition of 'bad actor'.
That hasn't been my experience over 20 years. I've worked in multiple SCIFS that didn't handle SCI at all.
So you're using the word 'compromised'. In this context that would mean malware, unauthorized access, circumvented logging, etc. If someone thought this was happening the answer would be to lock the system down, perform…
That doesn't really make sense. If they had strong reason to believe that the secure comms systems they were supposed to be using were compromised, using personal phones to communicate outside of SCIFs is very, very far…
> but to attack the core idea as essentially wrong is anti math, science, and rationality The way Microsoft implemented stack ranking was anti math. You're supposed to measure the data then calculate the level of fit to…
That's not the point. The test giver has free discretion to say either answer is correct or incorrect. You could argue that if the intent was to underline "word" that it would have quotes around it, but it doesn't…
Microsoft pay isn't the best in the industry so if compensation is the only thing that matters to someone, Microsoft shouldn't even be in their top five.
> People refuse to acknowledge that their conservation efforts for a year are undone by some guy in Texas in five minutes I don't think that's a good way to look at things. Some guy in Texas is polluting a lot more than…
Typically you're not asking for a price(salary) upfront. Ideally you've done a bit of homework to figure out what positions can pay in the ballpark of what you want. Then you get their offer at the end of the interview…
Since 9/11 there's been a shift towards not siloing information as aggressively as before in order to make intelligence failures less likely. Don't know if that was at play in this case though. At the very least, access…
I would argue that the red tape is not so bureaucrats can make more money, it's that Americans have a very, very strong aversion to seeing people benefit from social programs that they think are undeserving. So we put…
This is why police reform is so hard to achieve. When crime spikes, people are far less committed to police reform. Even when crime isn't spiking, police can just sit on their hands whenever reforms are pushed and…
The federal government certainly is not adopting remote work as much as they could, but this OpEd is a bit off base. For starters, there are a lot more federal agencies embracing remote work since the pandemic. From the…
The fact that Twitter had to ask some of the people it laid off to come back shortly after having fired them says it all about how incompetent and self-defeating those layoffs were.
Sure we won't run out of water, the challenge is gonna come when weather patterns shift in a way that cause droughts on crop-bearing land or abnormal temperatures in key parts of the growing season. Some parts of the…
Bingo. This has made me spend a lot less time on Youtube because recommended content and search are worse for me. If I'm searching for a marine biology video I don't want to see recommendations for clickbait influencers…
The problem is that Google makes enough money from ad business that they don't care that they may be losing out on more revenue/profits by having better support. This fundamental belief is one reason Google has a hard…

To be fair, in the internal email they described it as 'discretionary pto'.

You didn't see Twitter Spaces, Fleets, Birdwatch, Tweet Editing, and Twitter Blue? Some of those features have been successful for them, some not, but they've been releasing features.
The thing I always wonder is, in habitats where birds would normally have to deal with feline predators, how is the domestic cat worse than that? Any birds in environments that have feline predators would already be…

It's stunning that people bought into Luna 2.0 after the first Luna token imploded. It didn't take a few years, it was what, a few weeks later?
