Or the Victoria Hall disaster (183 dead), or Cocoanut Grove (492 dead), or The Station Nightclub (100 dead), or The Beverly Hills Supper Club (165 dead), or.....

Also in what world is a badge reader going to contain an armed gunman unless the walls, floors, doors, and windows are also bulletproof??

(Triangle shirtwaist fire resulted in 146 dead)


Theres footage online of a basic security door stopping an armed robber from escaping despite him trying to shoot the lock.

Bullets aren't universal door openers, and shooting your way through one lock doesn't magically unlock the next one.


And the bullets and time spent getting through the door are bullets and time that aren’t used harming the people behind that door.

I've volunteered at events hosted in older buildings before and it's always such a top of mind thing to enforce a limit on the number of people in the building at any moment. Since these places have the capacity to hold a lot more people than can escape through the exits in the event of a fire.

Didn't they kill the Mac desktop app last year?

The biggest impediment to the 14 points for most companies is *shareholders*

So I'm right to blame Slack for overloading an already existing shortcut??!? I've always blamed Slack, but I didn't know it actually was Slack that started this madness.


The problem with this pattern is that command-k was already a commonly used shortcut for creating a link, which meant that products like Slack had to find something new for making a link so they overloaded paste which is super broken as a result.


Yeah, it's a weird catch-22 for modern ag: don't use aggressive chemical herbicide and pesticides, but mechanical weed control has it's downsides too: with compacting that ground or erosion or use too much fuel.


I really wish they would scale back up and finish the fab in Ohio and bring it online sooner rather than later.


Because of PF or Packet Filter (the PF in pfSense FWIW): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PF_(firewall)


No, this is the FIA[1], not Formula 1. They are very very different organizations.

No need to get mad or upset about this at all, MinIO is telling us exactly who they are:

They want to be a commercial software vendor, and they don't like open source.

As long as they aren't advertising their product as open source, I don't see an issue.
