Tax cuts are used more often when the government wants to see more private investment into an industry. Not really an issue with 'AI' right now. Direct subsidy is more common when the government wants to see a particular outcome;

10 EC votes to Biden. 0 to trump and no hope of any in this year's election. 1/8 red house seats. The other 7 very comfortably blue. The rest of the state doesn't seem like it matters much to the only results they'd care

Good validation of the 'fail early' strategy. If the door came off when they were higher up it would have been worse. However, this failure seems to have not followed a strategy; the result was just luck.

Not my intention, sorry! Big organisations are stable , mostly due to the often frustrating inertia and lack of risk taking coupled with their existing, mature revenue streams.

Like with any other business, you talk to the sales team and come to an agreeable middle ground. We don't pay 'list' for gitlab SaaS.

I think this trend to talk about startup practices in large orgs is more executive nostalgia and a complaint about all the processes put in place to catch mistakes that have been made before. The same people as developers would be pursuing

If there's serious work that can't be effectively done any other way then complex and esoteric cooling setups to overcome those challenges are fine to design and use. Not sure what needs 1600 cores in one 'chip' but it&#

It's different when it's a deliberate conspiracy to mislead consumers, especially when that consumer is choosing services that advertise that a safe vehicle will be used. If they just stopped showing what plane would be used on th

MBAs are fine, honestly. I have a manager who came up in the industry he works in. He worked at the 'coal-face', understands the issues and has real perspective. He got an MBA later in his career and uses what he learned from that

Counteroffers are 'stem the skills bleed' at best. People who take counteroffers were annoyed enough to look in the first place, and know they're valued enough elsewhere to get a market rate. I've heard that even if some

I've seen a bunch of US companies setting up offices here in New Zealand and hiring SRE/DevOps types. Our wages are garbage so it's much cheaper for them! Plus our timezone means having staff here leads to much less on-call r

I've done a few New Zealand to Houston trips on the Dreamliner and I find the vibration, temperature and humidity to be totally hostile compared to the A350. Maybe it's a personal preference thing.

With all the 'investment' in ISO27001:* validation of the existing infrastructure choices and the like, I'd be astonished if any move in a large company was able to happen within five years. From what I've seen none of t

1/2 of all Australian employees are getting made redundant, and it looks like 100% of new Zealand employees are out. Several office locations in Oceania are gone.
