A giant biotechnology company might be about to go bust. What will happen to the millions of people’s DNA it holds?
  • Stakeholders that want a payout will demand the data be sold to the highest bidder.

    And other companies will probably be interested in said data and willing to buy.

    I would like for it to be destroyed as well, but capitalism going to capitalism.

  • Similar to how companies are reaching to create the death machine from the book "do not create the death machine", companies are racing to create the "dead internet", where even if humanity dies, there will still be internet traffic.

  • It's just a formality really
  • Yep, companies give "unlimited PTO" because it's a way to actually reduce the amount of PTO employees take.

    Give them 20 days PTO/year? They'll take around 20 a year.

    Give them unlimited PTO? They need to justify every bit of PTO, so probably only get to take 4 or 5 for important days.

  • AMD’s laptop OEMs decry poor support, chip supply, and communication — OEM complains the company has "left billions of US dollars lying around" due to poor execution: Reports
  • Honestly, this does explain why vendors like HP seem to have every possible combo of device available in their business class laptops as Intel CPU options, but it's sometimes like pulling teeth to get equivalent AMD options.

    It's sometimes a PITA if a client specifically wants an AMD machine for some reason.

  • "Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder."
  • It was obviously a temporal anomaly.

    Or each grain of rice is a Q, just paying a visit. An ensign tried to vacuum up the rice before the ceremony and was turned into a bowl of petunias, so Janeway took the hint and left the rice alone.

  • School Monitoring Software Sacrifices Student Privacy for Unproven Promises of Safety.
  • If a school provides a device to a student to take home there's two possible outcomes.

    1. They provide a managed device, and with any management tool, there's a way to invade privacy, intended or not.

    2. They provide an unmanaged device and get sued by parents for letting their"innocent snowflake" access unwanted content.

    In both instances there's something to legitimately complain about, but I still say the first option is the better one. The problem comes with oversight and auditing on the use of those management tools.

    Not to mention that even with the second option of unmanaged devices, invasion of privacy can still occur if students are stupid enough to use the school provided accounts (Google, 365,etc)
