Ahh, thanks! Reading a description, that’s how I use it too, that’s fun to learn there’s a name for it.

GTD?

At enterprise scale I can see a contract for being able to renew your support contract. Aka for us to implement this, we expect you to support it but we aren’t going to pay you up front in case it doesn’t pan out or we drop the project.

Yea I’m confused, the article seems to waver between it was confusing to good, but also it misses the point of why the writer likes pop tarts so it’s not good?

“That’s a nice feeling. *Unfrosted *isn’t about that feeling. It’s about the product […] It takes whatever pleasure that can be derived from a Pop-Tart, and chokes on it”

I regularly go to these stores, and I wonder why they are so close. It’s handy since one or two times one store had something the other didn’t. It’s a bit more than just crossing the street but not much.

Galleria is in the second story inside an indoor mall. Americana is an outdoor mall, and they are even on the sides closer to each other.

Yea, I think if they were offered severance as part of dismissal/layoff and it had a non compete they could lose that. Beyond that, it doesn’t hold much water in CA for the employees.

On one hand it’s a pretty common acronym in consulting-businees work. But on the other you’d think Wired, as a general tech publication, would want to take the two sentence to explain what it is and how it’s generally used.

It could be a pretty big value to remove humans in this step. A lot of times the rfp contents are known-ish anyway. You’re a tech dev firm, and someone wants a proposal for building an app in a framework you know, you already have language probably you’ve used. In theory this is a great application of AI to speed up the process of building this. The request is “hey we need these things and want this and this”. A consumer facing business might present this information as a FAQ or custom order process anyway, so automating an rfp could be good since it speeds things along.

In practice, who knows. If it isn’t accurate, if it takes longer to edit than just write from scratch, then that would suck. It’ll likely be another way to “reduce headcount” cause of “efficiencies” regardless of how good it is. I doubt this changes anything for most sales executives job status, for people who work in those departments that support those execs though, probably not good

I’m not an expert but I think : The site you visit only sees the VPNs info. Which is how you maintain some anonymity while browsing. However, if your VPN keeps logs, then you can still be tracked, just at a different place. Some say they don’t keep logs, and you’d have to trust that.

RAM is considered volatile memory, so each time the server turns off, it loses all data. This is compared to disk (hard drives of whatever type) which retain memory even if the server turns off.

In theory, this ram only server prevents them from keeping logs (like which user went where) since the server wouldn’t even have a place to store it.

Edit: lustrums post is more accurate and has info that this doesn’t prevent logging per se, but could prevent accidental logging. I.e. they can’t hire a forensic computer specialist to parse through operating system logs to try to find info they didn’t otherwise log elsewhere.

This is the one for me too. It seems some people are excited but it’s not generating a ton of buzz. I can’t wait to get into it though.
