I disagree. I review when I have polarizing experiences (good OR bad), or when I want to show support for a business.
I think tying a review to your google account is also good, because anonymity on the internet is generally used by people to say things they wouldn't say in the real world, often in harmful ways.

You're not wrong, but this is also the argument politicians use to strip you of your privacy on behalf of corporations
The reality is they try to protect as much of the assets as they can and even those over 250k will probably not lose as much as they would have without the FDIC
Maybe smart for orgs to do their payroll on a Tuesday or Wednesday instead of down to the wire on friday with everyone else.
Sure you get to hold onto funds for a day or two later, but it also puts your payroll at risk if the bank is failing.
(Seriously I worked for an org that changed payroll from Thursday to Friday and I’d be first to file with the labour board for missed employment payment if they blamed the weekend or bank failure for missing a payment).
Minor nitpick: NMEA0183 is a text format (based on "sentences"), it's at the protocol layer, RS-422 is the most common transport layer but we often carry it over UDP or TCP too. SignalK can convert and output your data in NMEA0183 on TCP port 10110, for instance.
As someone with a boat, Signal K is super useful. It doesn't necessarily replace the other standards, but it means I can take my cats pajama's worth of other standards (NMEA0183, NMEA2000, homegrown Ethernet sensors) and ingest all of that data into one platform. After I've done that, it's really trivial to visualize it all in one place.
It’s pretty harsh but my commute is 2 stair cases. As a virtual worker I come in to the office 2-5 times a month max.
The company I work for’s office is 13 miles away, 35 mins max. The in town office is 19 miles. You could grab a train about 12 miles away and add another 30 minutes to your commute but most people would drive 7 more miles and get there quicker.
Living in town is expensive, schools are terrible, and the homes/properties are small.
Safety purposes. If you're away from the school, a student gets off course, bad weather, etc, they would much rather you have extra fuel than too little.
It's also dependent on what's being flown. Sometimes they will fly with less for weight and balance.
I mean, the thing about a quick hack job is the person building the code has a very well defined problem and knows exactly what will fix it. And so that's almost a perfect requirements to solution match.
Latter statement you quoted accurately describes VC and start up world.
Big tech was even worse than this. Monopoly? That implies a vision and proper focus to achieve business goals.
My take is far less generous. This was one of the biggest grifts in recent times. the professional managerial class obsessed not with their products or services but instead on increasing headcount, building empires, and getting promotions. Office politics and political games played by people who produced little to no economic value.
This was also a huge issue with BlackBerry 10. We kept getting bugs about 999 being dialed because of the way the screen recognition was... The phone would wake up in your pocket, dial 999 and you'd pocket dial EMS because it was allowed to be dialed from above the lock screen no matter what.
I’ve accidentally dialed 911 via the side buttons on my iPhone (I put it into the drink holder in a chair, and it was just tight enough to depress the buttons) and at least twice via the buttons on my Watch (trying to swap out the watch bands). Oh, and once my Watch was wet, and it registered my slide motion in the wrong spot.
Admittedly this is roughly once every 2 years, but still I’m about at the point where I’d like to disable all automatic emergency services.
I had to do this because the kids discovered that if they held down power off and then slid the bar over a nice woman would talk to them and then a big truck would show up!
I let the kids play with an old flip phone, figuring they couldn't get up to too much trouble since it had no service.
Came downstairs to hear them talking about calling 911 - when I picked up the phone there were four outgoing calls!
Fortunately the big truck did not show up, so I guess the operator was able to figure out that there was not actually an emergency (or maybe the phone was too old to communicate its location).
Thanks, apparently I did turn them off at some point. Doesn’t appear to be a way to disable the emergency slider on Watch or iPhone though, unfortunately.
My Pixel 5 had an issue with its power button a few weeks back where it would self-press the button. (I believe some rain had gotten in somehow and was shorting the button).
This resulted in the phone doing various things, such as opening the camera (double press of power), trying to turn itself off, and, worse: activating the "I'm in danger mode" (5 power presses in succession) and counting down to calling 911.
I caught it and cancelled before it dialed, then turned off the phone. However, as you might guess, the phone turned itself back on!
Fortunately I was able to (with much aggravation and accidental swaps to the camera app), eventually get to settings and disable the feature.
