The shareholders probably care, but to the layman, expecting 6.61 billion and only earning 6.49 billion doesn't amount to much. They're not going anywhere.

tldr, not sure if it was bullet or shrapnel from the bullet.

Standard operating procedure for high school

Kind of. That was a little different though, it wasn't an accident. Boiling coffee was just standard procedure for McDonalds. So I agree she was right to sue.

A guy ate boneless wings and got a bone stuck in his throat leading to multiple surgeries so he sued. But he didn't notice when it happened?

The longer I think about this the more I agree with the decision. It sounds dumb, there shouldn't be bones, but if you're chopping up a chicken breast with the rib bones still attached, I could see how a bone could accidentally make its way into a nugget. So I can understand what they mean by saying it's a cooking style.

Probably this.

Can you explain what are denotational semantics and operational semantics? I tried reading the wikipedia article but I don't get it.

I agree, I also pay pros for work I can't/won't do. But I don't tell people that I did it. It's just something that bugs me.

A big peeve of mine is when someone says they did something, "I remodeled my floors, I painted the walls, I fixed my car, i put in a fence", when they really mean they hired people to do these things. It's straight up taking credit for other people's work and it's normalized.

I grew up poor where hiring help was rare so when someone said they did something, they always said it proudly and they meant they did it themselves.

Now I always ask and point out they didn't do anything. I'm really fun that way. But honestly i think the language matters. For big jobs i personally say I had the walls painted or I got the car fixed since that implies getting someone else to do it.

In our testing, the VPN always continued to report as connected, and the kill switch was never engaged to drop our VPN connection.

This is the only place they mention kill switch. I feel like it needs a slight clarification on whether it was enabled and didn't work, or if was just disabled and therefore not "engaged".

Just switch to GNU/Hurd

This is what I was thinking. For a first iteration to get out the door immediately it could just be windows with a "game browser" that launches full screen when you turn it on 😂
