Man that's pretty wild to think about. If antimatter was created at the same time as matter in the same quantity and distribution, then why are we here. Why didn't the entire universe essentially cancel itself out? Was there some factor that benefited regular matter or hindered antimatter? Is there some level of chaos on the atomic or subatomic scale that played in regular matter being the dominant? Has some crazy philosophical implications.
What exactly does "annihilation" mean in this context. Do both "atoms" give off energy and convert to sub atomic particles? Does one atom kind of "win" over the other and undergo fission instead of complete annihilation?
Yeah that's a good point. Now that I'm farther in my career i think it is pretty wild they didn't have some kinda back up software or network storage for critical stuff. The only reason I can think of is espionage, we were seriously worried about international espionage. I had to do training for it, we had a picture of Smokey the bear in our break room that said " only you can prevent government espionage". Shit, I just remembered the guy (super rough scruffy looking guy) cried over this, literally cried. Maybe he realized it was probably his ass for that too?
Yeah to be honest I don't know why I write it like that. I know it's not right, outlook corrects me almost every day. One of those weird things my brain does, maybe a habit from when I was a kid idk. I do it without realizing.
Your not wrong, and definitely not the first person to tell me that. But it still fucked with me for a while. There were a lot of really good people there, just trying to make there way. My actions, whether my fault or not, indirectly caused probably like 150+ people to lose their job, and that's on the day shift, idk if they even kept the night shift. I know it's not my fault, but like, I still feel a lil shitty about it, ya know. This was probably 6-7 years ago. Sense then I've learned my lesson and never ever keep my mouth shut and make sure I have all concerns documented. Ho boy has it saved my ass.
Lol, essentially the company closed down a bunch of plants to make one big plant. Dude in question was a foreman at each plant at one point in time. They start the new plant, fast forward like six months and I get hired to do IT. The guys laptop has a memory leak issue that we couldn't track down, so we were gonna reimage the machine. Had to backup data first. The company i worked for forced us to use a singular proprietary tool to do both. I was not allowed to manually back up anything ( like I wanted to, because seriously wtf) Well lo and behold this software doesn't give a shit about the D partition of the users HDD or anything on it, so it wipes that part. Well that was the part of the drive that had all calibration data, measurements, contacts in the industry. Pretty much the guys black book got wiped. This is literally during first quarter of a merger. I get fired. A few weeks or like a month later I see the company stock took a huge hit because of issues with a merger. I also run into an old coworker at a gas station like 6 months later and she informed me that everything went to shit when I left and they cut the staff by more than half. Over a hundred people lost their job because of my fuck up.
I caused the loss of multiple millions of dollars in stock of one of the largest manufacturering companies in the world. All because I listened to my boss instead of my instincts. I got fired because the senior foreman "couldn't stand to look at my face"
I think the comment is meant to claim that while they contribute to these open source projects, the end goal is the ability to control those new arms of the emerging market to an extent. Kind of like what's happened with steam where it's been around for so long , has such a large community and quantity of content, that any similar platform that comes along is going to be at a serious disadvantage. Even large scale companies don't even know how to compete with steam properly so far.
If the same thing happens to the Linux community within the next 10 years or so due to valves contributions. That could be not necessarily bad, but a serious change to the Linux culture. Open source culture could take a hit. Gabe won't live forever, and he has a unique understanding of " you don't fuck with the open source community, you work with them ". Once he's gone, whoever takes over could take advantage of their foothold in the open source community, or at least try to. That would probably be bad.
If your using outlook. Goto File > options > Mail > then scroll down to the " send messages " section . In there you should see a checkbox for " warn me when I send a message that may be missing an attachment. "
Once that's enabled outlook looks for keywords in the body of the email such as attached, attachment, e.t.c. and will warn you if there's nothing attached.
So if you at any point in the email say " please see attached, issue is attached, screenshot attached e.t.c. " then you'll be in the clear.
Ok that makes sense.
