Maybe on the OS side. However, Vista coincided with the release of Office 2007. That release of Office introduced the dreaded Ribbon, which made functions much harder to find.

Nothing stopping us except perverse incentives. Why would a company admit its model isn't using 100% reliable data?

It looks like those tanks are 5-8kg? The Tesla's is apparently 250kg.

Because the Junior eventually grows up to become a Senior, and they will be responsible for maintaining said automation.

What would this look like? Whenever I need something like that, I just stick each parameter in its own cell and use functions from there.

I would love an easier way to communicate to tech/math-illiterate CEOs that worst case, average case, and best case are different things, but must all be planned for.

I thought "custom reporting" was code for "our in-house dev team is slow".

The two aren't mutually exclusive, as long as aluminum foil is within a trillionaire's budget.

You don't need evidence to support a premise.

While I absolutely believe this, the author should include a control. Go to a different website that sets data, and show that it is deleted when Google data is not.

Is the 30-50% of face value realistic for "Liquidation Value"? If one organization has to liquidate, sure. But if the bubble pops and many groups have to liquidate at once? Owners will be lucky if they can dodge the recycling fees.

> You will send out some C signals. That’s inevitable. We all did. Never, never send out the same C signal twice. And make sure the balance of the signals are that you are a B.

This bit is important. It's not great if a new hire nukes production, but it doesn't preclude them from being a B or A.

Additionally being considered a C isn't necessarily a blame game. If an employee nukes production multiple times, they may not be in the right headspace to work at that company, through no fault of their own.
