  1. When money is concerned, any kind of suspected money laundering / fraud investigation generally requires you to pause that account until the check is complete. What happens afterwards will be down to the results of the investigation.

    It's also unlikely there are just those two states. For many services there will be a number of factors involved, but it's purposely opaque to make it harder to circumvent.

  2. It may be simple enough to prove, but that is an uncomfortable ask if those circumstances are genuine.
  3. Why are the self-hosted plans so expensive? Such a high bar to go from free to paid.
  4. No need to answer this person's question, they are not asking for help, they are promoting their upcoming book
  5. I would still say that is loose — are connection issues caused by staff using streaming services generally considered to be DoS?

    And on balance I'd say losing Integrity is a bad trade off to make here.

  6. That's my point, you need to be a specialist to understand it, but the specialists are incentivised to upsell you.

    A simpler product would be better for consumers, but won't happen because there are industries (and a lot of lobbying) built up around keeping the money train rolling.

  7. To try to remove the word motherly there, your comment could be written as:

    Most men are worse parents than most women.

    Do you think that is a good representation of what you are saying? Do you think it's true? Are men inherently worse at parenting, or is there something else at play?

    And I would also like to know what your evidence is for that.

  8. Because we're not mice. Because he was actually studying the effects of overcrowding and not population growth & decline.

    You'd need to look at more than just the population numbers, the issues were around high infant mortality and bad parenting, those are the things you should look out for over low birth rates.

  9. I thought thees things were complex on purpose to make it hard for people to easily understand and compare so you have to speak to a sales person who can do the upselling
  10. I think that's a very loose interpretation of Availability in the CIA triad.

    This looks a lot like using the MITM hammer to crack every nut.

    If this is an actual concern, why not deny personal devices access to the network? Why not restrict the applications that can run on company devices? Or provide a separate connection for personal devices/browsing/streaming?

    Why not treat them like people and actually talk to them about the potential impacts. Give people personal responsibility for what they do at work.

  11. What's the security risk of someone streaming Netflix?

    There are better ways to ensure people are getting their work done that don't involve spying on them in the name of "security".

  12. Yes, it's a spirit vs. letter argument isn't it? Or _Open Source_ and _open source_.
  13. There's always a scenario where this can break though. What happens if someone introduces a test that confirms that marking `active1` as inactive works. Then it depends on the test order whether your initial test still passes.
  14. I would argue they've become easier to obtain, it's hard to imagine the general public getting hold of service manuals for consumer electronics devices pre–internet.
  15. So it's possible to get better sound quality with better quality tapes and players, but I'm pretty sure the player that's using that description falls neatly into the shitty equipment category.
  16. I always saw it as an unmarked plural (like sheep/fish/etc). I also find it hard to not prefix it with Sony in my head. But I would definitely use Walkmen over Walkmans if pushed.
  17. That's a service manual, any reasonable manufacturer still produces those
  18. > A system that costs less, per word thought or written, than it'd cost to hire the cheapest human labor on the face of the planet.

    Is it really possible to make this claim given the vast sums of money that have gone in to AI/LLM training?

  19. > penetrating voice and warm sound

    Are they talking about cassette tapes? Maybe my memory is failing me, but I don't remember that being a thing back in the day.
