Also, the VZ fiber optic terminal on the side of my house is 17 years old, has never had downtime, and get me 980MB/s if I can someone who can send it that fast, so… <shrug>. Those people make a certain case for the pathological option in basic truth tables.

I get tired of the “Pentagon is antiquated” talk [and I’ll get in trouble if I point and glare at the insiders who say this]. Yes, in some ways, but also the Army invented operations research 80 years ago and 98% of techbros can’t even spell OR…

I actually have a too-long-for-posting story of a friend in the mil who reformed himself with respect to that bias. It makes me laugh because it came out of having to look at people in terms of retention. For all their individuality his focus was, “I need you so we can do this job.”
