A long-term trend is happening across large and small companies, and that is the convergence of developers, those who code apps, and DevOps, those who maintain the systems on which apps run and developers code. Becoming DevDevOps?
Maybe someone brighter than I can explain his point to me - I thought DevOps was already the merger of developers and operations. It's kind of right there in the name.

While this is a large number, this pay plan was actually very simple:
Elon Musk would receive a small salary - as in comparable to what a middle manager at most fortune 100 companies would receive. The huge numbers only applied if Tesla's market capitalization hit certain thresholds, and then they were in the form of stock and not cash.
The common wisdom in 2018 was that Tesla would never reach any of these market capitalization thresholds. Therefore, the risk was entirely on Musk's side and none of the side of the shareholders.

same stupid Microsoft, same stupid feds. Remember back when Hillary was SoS, and the department needed to update their secure laptops. They awarded the contract to Lenovo. Some brave soul pointed out that this is a Chinese company and likely a very bad idea.
Microsoft sorry? Highly unlikely. Same old stupid stuff - more worried about advertising in their OS rather than security. Now, three days ago, this was posted: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/13/microsoft-employees-cybersecurity-work-will-factor-into-their-pay.html[^]
So, Microsoft consorts with the CCP and PLA while simultaneously telling their employees that they will be held accountable. What idiot is running the ship?

Good news for call center operators who are worn down by hostile customers with unreasonable demands—artificial intelligence technology can alter angry voices into calm ones. Or... (crazy talk here, please bear with me) you could not treat your customers like the stuff stuck to the bottom of your shoe?
And also, don't yell at the customer service people. They're not to blame.
