I would imagine that being carpet bombed is not helping. The UNOCHA estimate is 23k dead. That's about 4% of the population. Asa a percentage that's higher that WWII in Europe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wo

I've been using Firefox since about 2008. I've never had a problem that switching to Chrome fixed, and only encountered a few old clunky sites and apps that were IE specific. Those sites are so old they're looking for the wro

the fact that the problem is resolvable OTA is a feature of Tesla, a positive. Another make with the same issue might require a visit to the dealership. The problem is the same. Debating semantics beyond that is without merit.

I think IBM still uses stacked ranking for employee reviews. Goodyear and Microsoft have settled lawsuits because it's been shown to be discriminate against minorities. https://www.shrm.org/hr-today/news/hr-m

My former employer does a layoff pretty reliably in early December every year. The optics are always poor even if their rationale is sound.

There are challenges inherent in creating a set of visual symbols to communicate. We have crossed that bridge before and we call them "words". I wish designers might fall back on that more for ease of use instead of creating gene

True. However, their abdication of responsibility is indicative of a lack of a security culture. It's hard to say that they were more or less negligent than Equifax, but both data sets should have been Highly secure. It's also int

I live in a rural area. Most of what they grow here is soybeans, corn and tobacco. You cant' eat any of it. It's a common misconception that rural areas are food producing. The U.S. imports something like 40% of it's produce.
