Ah, the classic "make this section illogical to all, except the person who uses it the most (or asks for the change)"
I had a discussion with a (otherwise very nice and understanding) client.
They have this overview with a date filter.
The lines shown have a status, like new, in progress, finished, error... Initially I showed new, in progress and error for the last few days.
Then I got a call, Sander, we only want to see today.
So I asked how they're going to see any errors as they usually work through the list at the end of the day and so they probably won't notice the errors the next morning.
"They'll have to check manually."
"Should I show everything from today + all errors ever?"
"No, that would not make sense."
I don't think I'll have to finish my story, but they never checked for errors and some weeks later they asked me how it was that they missed all those errors
To be fair, the guy wasn't wrong, but he wasn't right either

If I recall correctly, years ago Texas was caught recording the plates of everyone moving about in it, getting a good feel for their residents (and visitors) movements. I don't recall the details.

As always - it's OK when they do it, but not when someone else does it (and they can be sued to help the budget and make the company look bad. OK, worse in Google's case.)

So who can we find to sue? Or is that game only open to millionaires and above?

The positively charged particle at the heart of the atom is an object of unspeakable complexity, one that changes its appearance depending on how it is probed. We’ve attempted to connect the proton’s many faces to form the most complete picture yet. Are you positive?

One of the most concerning insights this year’s hype cycle shed light on is that no single application security innovation can deliver comprehensive security. My research finds 'no, duh'

There is no 100% security, you just have to make it a bit more difficult than the others...

You mean to say one tool doesn't do it all?
Actually this is a good point that no matter what it is there is no such thing as singular tool that can do it all and that goes double so for the Cloud that is too often seen and marketed as the digital savior of humankind.
|
|
|
|
|
And every additional tool is also a security risk.

Big Red rolls out DB document handling, white-label cloud package – but customers warned to check out terms of service first Because the one thing I hear so often is, "how can I make my applications like Oracle do?"
I wonder if it comes with automatic support payment billing?

Well good! They (the customers) can fix their own bugs!

is it that bad ?

Many executives lament that software development seems like a “black box.” Let’s peek inside this box to see how you can influence developer velocity as executives and managers. An unladen developer?

May all of your most odorous bodily transgressions velocify themselves directly into the nasal orifices of executives (and others) who use language like 'developer velocity.'
