On the one hand, the Cloudflare article doesn’t smell bad to me. As someone who gets to pay attention to this type of thing, these kinds of things really do happen frequently, and mistakes are the most common cause. If the US government had

The pilot restrictions definitely need a revamp. Any diagnosis or medication can greatly restrict you for a long time after, incentivizing avoiding treatment completely.

I wonder if you misunderstood what the commenter was saying. It isn’t that the goal of the companies is to make people sick as you suggest, it’s that the goal of the companies is to increase profits, and they don’t want concerns over people

I failed that as well back then! I still (mostly) remember the question that I knew was going to sink me. The scenario was that I caught a coworker stealing a pencil from the company, and the question was what I would do about it. I stubbo

Having been on the receiving end a bit, the gag orders don't come from the FBI directly. The FBI can ask you not to say anything, but you can ignore that without any legal repercussions. Any gag order that matters is issued by a judge.

A more generous reading is that he was saying he didn’t plan on quitting and didn’t plan on changing his behavior to fit into any culture changes that he might disagree with. The mentioned privilege is that he could afford to be fired if th

That’s a fun story! Asherons Call had something along those lines, https://massivelyop.com/2018/01/30/re-examining-the-signific... though it only really got interesting on one server. Sadly getting a repeat o

My memory of that wasn’t that dentists stopped recommending flossing, it was just an acknowledgment that there hadn’t been any research that showed a positive effect. And not that the research had failed, there just hadn’t been any at all.

I’ve no experience with anonymous reviews, but have had experience with two approaches that help with the minor comments. One is an agreed upon method of identifying potentially minor comments. We call them ‘nits’, with the understanding th

I no longer work in data centers, but in the past had success with both https://opendcim.org/ and https://www.racktables.org/ . RackTables is probably a little simpler for managing just a few cabinets worth
