You can offer shares to employees to supplement salary, its very common. It could be used to attract or retain staff by offering less salary but a larger overall package than their rivals and tie in the employees for a period of time till the shares vest.

Only downside with teams is that you can't accept direct teams calls while in a meeting and they can see you are in a meeting. You always get the odd person who dials before asking via chat if you are available so you don't get the chance to close your meeting first.

UK you have the concept of black box car insurance that offered a substantial discount for having either a dedicated device installed into the car or an app on your phone that tracks a bunch of stats as you drive. It's as shit as it sounds as it marks you down for every little infringement such as driving at peak times because that's more dangerous. Get enough points and you can have your policy cancelled. In the UK there are knock on effects for ever having an insurance policy cancelled and you have to legally declare you did when asked.

While you can uninstall the app good luck making a claim if you don't have it installed with data for that journey. They'd also be pretty suss with no data over an extended period of a few months.

Worst part of these is that it's expensive to switch to a non black box policy when you can afford to as you get older and more experienced.

Musk banning Apple devices with how popular iPhones are to use twitter would hurt Musk more than it would hurt either Apple or OpenAI so it just sounds like a win win.

However with their examples you don't need to write a script, you can solve them that way but you really don't need to for these examples. This is some basic search refinement skills (Outlook would even help you build this unlike say a Google search with refinement filters) and either a small spreadsheet or a calculator app to max out at their level 3.

Scripting this I would put at a level 4, but I would be interested where the authors of the paper would fit that in as its their research and what sort of percentage would fit into that skill set.

I would guess that their reasoning is that the increased area allows for more/better sculpted ground effect.

Technically Lance is essential, daddy wouldn't have purchased the team and spent a ton of money on it otherwise and without that investment the team would not be where it is today. But that's the sole benefit

I think the FIA would allow three cars per team for that to happen. Only way it could be more spicy is if Fernando replaced Charles

Has this been independently verified as bullet proof by a reputable company? As I have zero trust in any assertions from Tesla based on their previous demos of this.

They still have access to 1000 BHP for short periods, while weighing less and having less downforce that will almost certainly result in less drag for most cars. I would not expect peak speed to be that much slower than now, just average speed over the lap.

Sure the drop to 6 gears from 8 (if it goes ahead) is going to hurt but not being able to use all 1000 BHP on the straight at somewhere like Monza means you'll just be a sitting duck all day long, RB have shown that when they had their biggest DRS advantage.

Not the OP but having got rid of my Flair as it was too painful to get great coffee out of at 6am every morning, the learning curve is very steep unless you are already familiar with making espresso.

Yeah and he's stuck as D&D would narc him out of he changed it now in a desperate attempt to save their tattered reputations.

As others have mentioned Danis heel turn was rushed by also Brans story was also cut short. If they had actually given him the time to have some epic adventures and actually save everyone then may be he could have lived up to Tyron's billing at the council.

Some of it is also he just doesn't know when to self edit out the additional pov stories. We should be reducing them as we approach the finish not adding new ones as he has been doing.

Well they can force him out of F1, either with an outright ban or a suspension. as there are reputation clauses in the Sporting Regs that are vague enough to be used for this.

Obviously RB would challenge any such ban as they believe he has done nothing wrong.

Is there enough evidence shared in that data dump to warrant a ban? Unlikely.

Many possible reasons, such as the off chance Trump gets blocked from running. I realise its unlikely he will get blocked but there is still a chance it could happen and would have looked slightly more likely at the start.

Also to force concessions from Trump. Not because she would have posed an actual risk to him in the primaries but because he had to spend money defending his position. If there is one thing Trump is always short of, its money.

She also acts as a blocker to other candidates, who may leverage a stronger position if she wasn't funded properly into lucrative positions in a Trump dictatorship in exchange for standing down.

This wouldn't be quite as bad if they didn't keep pegging when you can take your private pension off the state pension retirement age, this would up it from 57 to 61 assuming they keep the same difference, but lock stepping private pensions with state pensions is a dick move designed to trap people working.

It isn't perfect by a long way but they are already licensed for Teams. Teams with the right settings can prevent named users such as MPs from deleting or editing any messages and messages are stored centrally. It can properly backup chats to a secure archive as well.

Obviously they can then get a tame techy with the right permissions to Teams and Purview to remove the messages but that's going to apply to any system.

Last year I read about 60 books, this year I might squeeze in 40, currently on book number 38 and I got some time off coming up.

This year I did read some longer than average books for me as I reread all the Tolkien history of Middle Earth books.

Next year I really want to read 52 to maintain a book a week on average. Aiming to reread some spy stuff for a change, LeCarre and Slow Horses for a start.

And again, I don't see that it applies at all to what is a parts tracking system, its not a maintenance plan, a direct safety system, operational guidelines for engineers or anything else you are falsely trying to make it.

You keep describing the maintenance schedule, which is again, irrelevant to tracking the history of parts. Age of the system is also irrelevant to the problem here, a system outside or inside its operational life span can still have shitty black market parts fitted to it making it more unsafe than using the correct part.

The airline industry in particular has been hit with a number of planes being fitted with bogus parts, this is despite all of the things you talk about, they have not worked for tracking parts and proving their provenance. Hence, a more robust system is needed.

I am intentionally not accounting for it, as its irrelevant to an end to end parts tracking system.

Your difference is only really relevant to the standards that the part is made, the safety systems the vehicle needs to have including redundancy, and the frequency and depth of the maintenance schedule.

Both need to be able to prove that shoddy third party parts haven't been fitted, that the parts have been replaced on schedule, even if the quality of the parts and the frequency of replacement is completely different.

While parts don't need to be made to the same standard nor do you need the same depth of safety components, I completely disagree that we should not be applying the same hygiene to part province and maintenance schedules. Obviously this should apply to track side components such as signalling, the track etc. as well, just like it should for the parts of an airport that a plane will interact with.

Avoiding utter maintenance shit shows like the train crash in India that killed 300 people seem just as attractive to fix as they do with planes. Or the toxic spills that America has had that may not have killed as many people but are still expensive and hugely disrupting.

Part of getting maintenance schedules followed properly and using quality parts is right to repair, part availability, and being able to prove part provenance and quality. A method to audit a part is essential for this, if we do whats needed by allowing 3rd parties to make parts to original spec for a reasonable cost, like we should to lower cost. Lower cost, more chance companies will avoid cutting corners, particularly if there is a proper audit trail for the part and you can actually prove that it is the *part *as well.
