topshelf··on Pier protections to prevent collisions with Sunshine Skyway bridge (1983) [pdf]
The similarities between the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse [1] and the collapse of the original Sunshine Skyway bridge [2] are striking, in their original construction and the pier collision leading to their collapse.

So, "it's ok because everything is owned by Google"? Hmm.
topshelf··on Google is already pushing WEI into Chromium
@dang Would we be able to update the title please?

To clarify the acronym, _Google is already pushing Web Environment Integrity (WEI) into Chromium_

Disappointing to see such a 180 on 'don't be evil'.

I'm recommending Mozilla Firefox to all friends and family.

Creator here, it’d be great when you have a few min to please share your feedback and feature requests. It’s built with p5js, Vite, and Tailwind CSS. Happy to answer other questions too, and I’ll do my best to keep up with this thread over the next few hours.

We're agile too, and don't count stand-ups or sprint reviews. I wonder if this is more related to agile/scrum vs waterfall?

Thanks, I'll add that to the original post.

Thanks, excessive was my first thought too.

I let that happen exactly once before bringing it up to my supervisor. According to him, seems like it's at least across our dept (IT/software dev).

The history sounds like it didn't use to be an issue until they moved into a giant 'open office' with very few walls/rooms. What normally would've been a quick conversation in someone's office turns into booking a meeting room, and the mentality turns into, "Might as well invite XYZ too because now it's a meeting."

EDIT: typos and clarity

We've discussed as a team too, cost clock sounds like an interesting idea.

So far, we've just started filing our calendar with bogus 'private meetings' so we can get stuff done. I can't see working for 'big corp' type companies forever, and I do like the experience so far -more learning about 'big corp' world.

Thanks, that's more on par from my past experiences.

We're full agile on the software side, so teams are mixed positions with at least one business-y person (~1000 ppl company).
