As a former mechanical engineer, I visualize this phenomenon like a "tolerance stackup". Effectively meaning that for each part you add to the chain, you accumulate error. If you're not damn careful, your assembly of parts (or conclusions) will fail to measure up to expectations.

Ahem...

(and yes, I am mostly in that tiny demographic)

I've seen the exact same and immediately my mind thinks of IRC :)

I might fine tune this to "users most likely to click ads"

Agreed - that's a huge indicator that they don't care about fixing the deficit. But they also don't want to be seen making it vastly worse.

Whatever future interviews look like, I sure as hell hope we don't maintain this ^ attitude.

It looks exactly how the aerospace automated fiber placement robot arms operated starting 10 years ago...but with a slightly smaller table. So they revolutionized the technology by slightly reducing the working volume!

It's still very cool to see the technology propagate to other industries though.

Is that not the problem rust was created to solve?

You would be an excellent author of history books!

My wife is Korean. The anglicized version of Korean given names always has a space in it. This makes for a few kinds of broken naming schemes - like removing the space or the second half of the given name becomes the middle name, or the second half of the given name just truncated entirely.

Got a link handy? I'm not finding it so far.

I think it's a pretty safe assumption that a company paying to gain information that gives them an advantage in negotiation isn't going to freely give up that advantage.

I think your perception of "premium" is flawed in this case.

Did you ever try the previous brands available at your grocer before Boars Head cornered the market? For my local grocers it was an immediate reduction in variety, increase in price and equal-to-worse quality. Nothing about that move was better for the customer.

Why, whY, WHY...are these things connected to the internet?!
