There's 8 million+ people in NYC. So even if there are 8 severe crimes in a period of time that is still a one in a million chance. Seems extremely uncommon to me. Though I do agree, the uptick in crime is not great.
Right. If the job involves writing code with a critical crowd constantly watching you do it, then that seems like a valuable thing to include as part of the interview process.
But, I suspect, that would also be a job few people would want.
But outside of the context of a job interview, those questions can be a lot of fun. I don't think that they should be part of an interview process, but they can be recreational.
NYC underground water pipes are very old and run at low pressure. Buildings above a certain height need to pump water to roof and then gravity feed it.
If you search NYC water tanks on YouTube there are some good documentaries of the companies that build them.
The latter. These tanks are still supplied by the municipal water system but storing it in the tanks allow for consistent water pressure in tall buildings.
Crazy thing is that this is like only half of New York City, south of 34th street. Basically all of midtown is north of this with some of the most impressive buildings and density. Nevermind uptown, the Bronx, and Queens. Unless I'm missing someway to look north.
having lived in queens for long time, I agree, I usually would say Manhattan though, tbh, I'd sometimes make fun of someone and just say "the big city" when they are reluctant to go into manhattan for whatever reason
Born and raised in Manhattan. Live in Brooklyn. When I’m returning home I say I’m “going back to the city”. When I’m in Brooklyn going to Manhattan I say “going into the city”.
This is just The Register’s style. Sometimes I appreciate the snark, but other times (like this) it’s laid on so thick it’s hard to understand what is actually being reported on.
I interpreted it to portray security personnel checking people's bags for contraband at an airport; where Microsoft is the security guard, and individual computers are the bags.
What an odd article, also the whole paragraph about the update having been scanned for malware and is stored on secure computers, isn't that just boilerplate for all downloads?
The Register is a British tech site that's known for its sarcastic, often informal manner of writing. They're probably including all that specifically because it's so weird that Microsoft even said that.
It would be a bit like a man with a Russian accent offering you tea and finishing with, "and there's no polonium in it."
