A RIF has a legal meaning under the WARN act[1]. AFAIK, that's the origin of the term and it's (for once) not a comms team coining. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worker_Adjustment_and_Retraini...

I'm sorry, you don't have enough reputation points to keep your job. This job is already performed in another thread (that's 8 years old but totally not out of date). I also have an irrelevant pedantic objection to your job t

They are a way of approximating Real (the set not as an adjective) numbers, though. Real numbers are exact when they are equal to an integer or a rational, because, depending on how you construct them, either that's what the cut contai

If you mean, you don't expect any deflation to occur anytime soon, I hope you're right. If you think >2% is permanent, then I'd like to know why. That's actually fine with me since I have a mortgage. >4% permanent

My father in law died of glioblastoma about 6 months after he was diagnosed. Any advances on this is welcome.

I hope all the people pedantically explaining to me in the Intel thread this morning that corporations exist to make profits realize the pathetic scope of that statement of fact. If there is such a thing as a profit-price spiral, I hope it

It's not "my analysis" and I explicitly made clear it wasn't (see: "even if you don't agree"). I told you what the rage hook was. I don't know enough to have an opinion about whether this is in balanc

Internet commenters don't fare much better. Any dividend at all is the outrage hook. If you don't get that it's you that is missing something, even if you don't agree.

Cool cynical take, bro. It's almost like rashly hiring a lot of "unneeded workers" and then firing them is an indication they won't be able to return money to shareholders. German companies of a certain size have to have

I don't know, I think he did a good job. We're just using the tech, longer than almost anything else has survived. It's always good to catalog mistakes and learn from them, but I think there's probably more to learn abou

Just about every thread on HN has a debate between the optimal and why can't people just get it and the practical and why they can't get it to be optimal. If you can't implement it easy enough for it to be optimal once in pla

Mastodon winning would be the most cited exception to worse is better if it happened. It's just too much for normies.

I said “a” reason. Sheesh. Not “the” reason. Even on your list, appearing at 982, it is part of it. Why the hostility?

Bravo. This doesn’t get enough airtime for its contribution to the student loan issue too.

It’s guys like this that are going to destroy the American tech sector by creating a political backlash on the scale of tobacco.

>Hinton: The reason I’m not that optimistic is that I don’t know any examples of more intelligent things being controlled by less intelligent things. He worked at Google, right? Does he think he was smarter than his bosses? If not, then
