@dang - sorry to ask this, but the KIRO link is probably better here.

I guess you think I didn't already read the article?

I'm questioning the legitimacy of the claims. I'm plenty literate, so no copy-paste recap needed, thanks.

I pasted it because this is from a different, newer article than the link that described the attack in more detail and identified the victim. Sorry for the confusion.

I find it unlikely that somebody randomly shanks someone a dozen times just because of stress, in a workplace environment.

Surely these two gentleman either knew each other and something had happened, OR the attacker knew the victim and there was some sort of issue, romantic or something like that to where he would've been angry enough to try and kill this other man.

Of course Microsoft is going to say "Oh, they didn't work with each other or know each other as far as we know, this is just a crazy thing that happened" because they want to be left out of this as much as possible. Which is probably fine. I doubt the MS Teams experience is bad enough to kill over, bad as it may be.

trynewideas commented on EasyOS kirkstone 2.0 release – lightweight Linux from the guy behind Puppy Linux   bkhome.org/news/202302/ea... · Posted by u/jandeboevrie

Every time I see "lightweight Linux", my first thought is, "Will it run better/faster/smaller on RPi compared to its default distro?"

There's no mention of Raspberry Pi in the website. I think if it's indeed more lightweight, they should mention it.

> even a Pi3B with 1GB RAM will work, or rather "just work" -- I recommend at least a Pi4 with 2GB RAM -- I have the 8GB RAM board.

EasyOS is a container-focused OS with its own in-house containerization mechanism,[2] and it's seemingly not designed for or aimed at Pis specifically.

trynewideas commented on Permission-Slip Culture Is Hurting America   theatlantic.com/ideas/arc... · Posted by u/mhb

I've read several articles from the Atlantic in the past few days which suggest it is a right-wing publication. (E.g., this one is about reducing government size and citing the far-right IJ organization.) This is odd because I hadn't really identified it that way before. Anyone have info on why this sudden change?
trynewideas · 3 years ago
Probably not related, but I didn't realize until a Wikipedia glance[1] that Laurene Powell Jobs, Steve Jobs's widow, owns The Atlantic. And that she was also an investor/board member of Ozy and co-founder of a previous venture (College Track) with its CEO, Carlos Watson, both of which have, uh, been in the news lately.[2][3]

> As a team of one, we were able to support 250k users, and now that we've crossed that bridge, our goal is to support two million users with our 2-person team for a 1M-to-1 ratio.

Is it weird then that they have an open req for a support engineer: https://railway.app/careers/support-engineer

> 7% profit margin [in 2022]

A year ago they had 17.3% profit margin, that’s a massive drop that I imagine spurred this decision.

trynewideas · 3 years ago
As noted in my link, "primarily due to business mix change in Networks and previously announced charges for contract exits and portfolio adjustments in Cloud Software and Services".

If they took that hit and missed significantly on revenue, a layoff wouldn't be as unexpected. To take that hit and then beat on revenue, both quarterly and YoY, and then kick off an 8% layoff, is just corporations being corporations for the sake of it.
