Can't say I agree with Costco anymore, staff are now rude and needlessly petty at multiple locations which I can only assume is because they're getting squeezed from the top in a similar way to the grocery stores.
It used to feel completely different a decade ago, no teenagers that couldn't care less, now few of them seem to care.
Tyre centre moved to bookings only but you can't call because there's never anyone on the tyre desk. I know because it's always unattended whenever I walk past.
Gas station staff just chat to each other and put out the traffic cones 30 mins before close leaving a small gap.
Everyone now has to scan their card with a single scanner leaving a huge queue outside just to get in.
Register queues go right down to the back of the warehouse with half the registers closed.
Queue again to get your receipt checked and all you get is departing grunt if you're lucky.
It's sad because I used to rave about Costco and bring the cool new snacks to share at work.
Prices are mostly comparable at the grocery store if you are willing to wait until they go on special so I've given up on Costco.
Retention and legal holds: Data can still be deleted even if a retention policy or legal hold is in place, unless licensing or billing is restored first. Do not rely on holds alone to protect unlicensed data.
Surprising it doesn't automatically move into an admin or company lawyer's drive so it can be dealt with rather then a few notifications which will probably be missed and the data permanently deleted.
I can’t see any suggestion that accounts already 12 months since they were deactivated won’t be nuked in July. You’re potentially getting a months notice in the short term.
Looking into the actual announcements, they're not 100% clear but I'd be shocked if they skipped the archival period for old accounts. But also they originally announced this a long time ago and the official page says they've been rolling it out since January last year.
True, but if I was worried about having too many accounts to track down in the next week I would go ask them and also I would have probably started doing something in the last year plus.
I'm seeing so many of these come in with "this is 95% done, just need a couple of minor tweaks for production release"
"Minor tweaks" being fix the layout so it's not messed up if the browser isn't exactly 1920px wide, sometimes these filters and sorting don't seem to work right and the app doesn't seem to refresh new values properly after an action.
No matter the issue it's pre-estimated by the business as "should be a quick fix, for an experienced dev" because they (allegedly) did 95% of the work already.
Just wanted to check in on how we're tracking, I've booked a quick sync meeting for 4:45pm on Friday followed by a release cadence checkpoint meeting for 9am on Monday.
> I don't think so, but the whole point of "subconsciously" is you don't know for sure.
I provide ad-hoc consulting and training services to a number of different companies and organizations. If any of those represent a conflict of interest with my writing here I will disclose that in the relevant post. [1]
"you don't know for sure" is why you shouldn't be your own arbiter of what represents a conflict of interest.
Ideally it would follow the same model as politicians. All entities you receive payment from over a threshold amount from would be published so it's up to the public to decide if a conflict of interest exists.
Under the current approach you could be subconsciously influenced by a consulting experience and not realise it when you write an indirectly related post.
You could reasonably argue you shouldn't be held to such a high standard, which is fine, you're not in public office.
However readers need to be clear they are entirely relying on you to self assess your own conflict of interest which can be challenging because "the whole point of "subconsciously" is you don't know for sure"
I hope to earn enough trust from my long-term readers that "I'll let you know if o have a conflict of interest" is good enough for them.
I write about contentious topics, so some people will never be satisfied that I'm not a paid shill of some kind. It gets to me because I value my credibility so much, but eventually I just need to accept that some people won't ever trust me and there's nothing I can do to win them over.
> Software Engineers, like all licensed professional Engineers will be just fine, as AI can't assume liability, nor be professionally licensed.
There's no such licensing, unlike other fields such as medicine you are not required by law to hold any license or qualification to perform software engineering.
I'm really pleased he's embraced long form videos showing the steps (and the failures) along the way, in the early videos you can hear he's apprehensive about if people would find it interesting in a world of short form content.
He also has really great editing where he'll sometimes show the success of a step first if it's a long journey to keep interest and then go back through the details so you can tell he's put care into the production.
I also enjoy his humourous Paul Thurrott-like jabs at himself and the problems he hits too, it feels like he has a nice humility about himself.
