"The core of the problem? Microsoft Authenticator will overwrite an account with the same username. Given the prominent use of email addresses for usernames, most users’ apps share the same username. Google Authenticator and just about every other authenticator app add the name of the issuer — such as a bank or a car company — to avoid this issue. Microsoft only uses the username.”

I’m resealing a water feature with non-toxic epoxy that’s animal safe. The instructions repeatedly state to cover to a 10mm thickness (about 3 sheets of paper).
I have no idea how to measure that.

This will not end well. It also will not end on time.

"Nobody can read the source code of Chrome. Not alone, not as a team. Humans don't live long enough. Any group that claims to have gone through the code and de-Googlized it is lying: all that's possible to do is some searches, and try to measure what traffic it emits. A thousand people working for a decade couldn't read the entire thing."

I would prefer Mozilla retain their existing staff and fund them to keep AI out of the browser.

“He admonished managers to remove the barriers that robbed people of pride in their work. Deming believed—and study after study supports his belief—that, in general, people want to do good work. They want to be proud of what they do and what they have accomplished. Company practices, processes, and culture get in the way of that, demoralizing them.”
Very good book that summarizes Deming’s influences and influence. Recommended 👍

“Tight coupling however tends to come with higher efficiency—optimizing away the slack buffers and utilizing resources more fully—and therefore an economical advantage. Coupling can also be created to avoid some frequent low-impact events.
Specifically, the act of "going solid" is what happens when a generally loosely-coupled system reaches a saturation point and suddenly becomes tightly-coupled.”
