  • Excel having a stab at dates

    Jump

  • Yep. "1" is 12:00am on 1-Jan-1900

    Numbers less than zero just give a weird error. Between zero and less than one give a nonsense date-formatted non-date.

  • How Would The World Look Like Without Any News Organizations?

    Jump

  • Is this a "what happens if we outlaw all News Organizations" situation, or a "What if the world evolved without News Organizations" scenario?

    From there, the answer depends entirely on how you define "news" and "organization."

    Nobody would define aunt Sharon gossiping about her neighbor's cat's digestive issues as being a "news organization." Almost everybody would define the New York Times, or CNN as one.

    Between them lies a million shades of gray, and any distinction is going to be arbitrary.

    In the "outlaw" scenario above, even the best attempts to define clear and unambiguous rules will just lead to gamesmanship and disappointment.

  • Woman Says She Was ‘Blindsided’ After ICE Detained Her Trump-Supporting Husband

    Jump

  • Nixon aides wanted a pro-administration network, and some of them were eventually instrumental in getting Fox News going, but it took over 20 years between Watergate and the launch of FNC.

  • Ha, T1 is so outdated, his team doesn't even know it's an existing slow standard.

    It's like naming your new gold-plated "luxury" car brand "Horse & Buggy."

  • What was the strangest reason you got in trouble in school?

    Jump

  • I was in high school when the Simpsons was still pretty new, and there was some popular Bart t-shirt at the time that got the word "hell" banned on any clothing.

    All while the school mascot is the Blue Devil.

  • Trump Is Getting Rid of His Tesla After Musk Broke His Heart

    Jump

  • Too bad it wasn't a cybertruck that you can't resell during the first year per the T&Cs. That would have made an excellent tweet-storm.

  • I've been using MS products for some 40 years, and I swear it's company policy to put every Chaotic Evil new employee immediately onto a UI/UX team. Absolutely zero consistency between products and versions.

    One way trip, though. Everybody wins.

  • No.

    See how easy that was, national Dems?

  • If you were the CEO of a small game development company would company field trips be a good thing?

    Jump

  • The best managers can find out exactly what motivates their people, and lean into that to make things fun and rewarding (or as much as possible, being work related).

    The tricky part is that this won't be the same for everyone, so a one-size-fits-all field trip won't necessarily be received the same by all the employees. Maybe the group dynamic is such that everyone has a good time, and this may work out well. Maybe some members resent being compelled to spend relaxed time with people they don't want to see that way.

    In a perfect world, everybody could get their own individualized rewards and recognition, based on what they value most. The only way to get there is to put in the work to know the employees as people.

  • Best instances with a good balance allowing free speech while avoiding disinformation/astroturfing?

    Jump

  • Masnick’s Impossibility Theorem in action.

    The bigger the platform, the wider the spread of opinions on how moderation should look, and that means wherever the admins land, there will inevitably be some who think it's too little, and some who think it's too much. You can't please everyone.

  • Best instances with a good balance allowing free speech while avoiding disinformation/astroturfing?

    Jump

  • If you can't find an instance that matches your preferences, you can always go with the most permissive, then block other instances/communities/users that are causing problems. It's a little more work at first, but it's possible to tailor your own experience here wherever you're registered.

  • As someone with mild travel anxiety, I'd probably be the one with the vision. And even if not, it would make a good excuse to skip the trip and stay home like I wanted to do in the first place.
