Such people are not hired by this companies, the hiring process is strongly against them. Also such people have better things in life to do and fight for, not the worst of the corporate world and a board of pokemons.

Some of these people have strong contracts with clauses against being fired. It is also very difficult to replace them if capable people left the company. Especially if they are the majority of middle management.

A few years ago a CEO of Intel (not Gelsinger) said something like "our CPU architecture is so well-known every college student can work on it". A friend working at Intel at that time translated it to me: "we will hire cheap

There is another angle at power efficiency: my work laptop is so bad, moderate load makes the fan spin and higher load creates a very annoying noise due to the cooling needs. All these while performance is far from stellar (compared to my d

That would work if the fabs were competitive. For Apple, they are technologically behind.

If I recall correctly, Vista was hard depending on DirectX 9a for Aero. Intel GPU parts embedded in mobile CPUs were almost, but not fully DX 9a capable, but Intel convinced Microsoft to accept it as "compatible". That created lot

That is easy: 1. bigger houses 2. a lot more equipment in it: electricity, plumbing, AC 3. zoning restrictions reducing supply to increase the value of existing houses; owners benefit from that, local government benefits even more from high

Did I understood correctly, if teleportation would be real you would go to the office every day? I would, if I would meet my team there.

Not overpaid. Even if you are paid below the market, but you are highly skilled in a job where you deliver a lot of value for the employer and you make a lot more than the average worker, you can take a pay cut. For example, average pay in

At least you have a much better chance to (live to) eventually retire. I am glad to see this kind of change is not just possible, but really happening.

I don't understand the story, can someone explain? What I got is they try to track someone who was expelled for misrepresentation. Why? What is different today vs 30 years ago?

The confusion seems to be intentional. I never read the "About" page on any news site. Tomshardware, Anandtech, GamersNexus, HardwareUnboxed etc, why would you put an explanation hidden in an "About" page for a bad name

Deloitte does not hire great people. They would have to pay them great and corporate managers would rather cut themselves an arm than paying well a good employee, it is a matter of principles.

I worked a long time ago in the same company that Steve Ballmer worked, both as juniors. Same culture. I think I know where he got it from.

I used to race as an amateur for almost 10 years. I saw people winning on steel frame bikes and for flat terrain the weight of the bike is not that important. Carbon is light indeed, but the frame as a percent of the overall bike can be qui

Check the rims too, when you change the pads there is a chance your rims are very thin and at some point you need to replace it. Not cheap. Mechanical disk brakes are indeed quite good at cost-performance ratio, even if the hydraulic ones a

I used to ride a lot in the mountains. Even on roads my disk brakes were blue from heat, rim brakes would simply die or make me die - no, thanks. Rim brakes are perfectly fine for city bikes, many road bikes and light offroad, but not for a

> "threadless" bottom brackets are mostly trash and almost entirely non-user serviceable Are you including Shimano pressfit BBs here? Never had problems replacing it, not even needed special tools.

by AdrianB1 2y ago
You are spot on. We have several bicycles in my extended family and I have the tools to repair all of it, but when we bought or built the bikes we looked for the widest compatibility possible of the spare parts: 2 BB types, 2 chain types, 2

Yes, if something is illegal then you don't need to set limits, you send people to prison, don't pass Go, don't collect $200.

It is realistically much more than 14 euros. In Eastern Europe I pay almost 700 Euro per month in mandatory state health tax (it is not an insurance, it is a tax because it is a percentage of income, not related to what you are covered for)

"Capitalism only works when you have a middle class" - I never saw a scientific demonstration of this. It is always in the "everyone knows" fallacy class of statements pulled out of the landing gear.

That is not even an argument. "shall not be infringed" means you cannot put the first limit, no concerns about more limits.

"most people would support" is mob rule or tyranny of the majority. Not morally right. People have no right to tell you how many cars (or something else) you are allowed to own.

by AdrianB1 2y ago
No. But it is a slippery slope of having limits on people, from wealth to anything you can think of (random example: limit ownership to a single car). In the end if it is all legal, it is nobody else's business. If it is illegal, setti

At some point, about 15 years ago, I was the only person from my team living on a different continent. I did not need to go to office at all, but I chose to do it for these reasons: - socializing - doing some work that required the presence

I would love to see a good proof that it works, all the discussions, rumors and anecdotal evidence suggest the contrary. I am open to learn the truth, with hard numbers. Very long waiting times are the first thing that comes to mind regardi
