That sh!t is bizarre ... why does that happen?

Fair enough. But if that is the case and that is the cost of good support (tbc) then pay it. Nothing is worse than signing up for a service where support may be needed but is somehow lacking or not even available.

Disagree strongly. I'm naturally averse to "huge companies" but Amazon does customer support fantastically well. If Amazon can do it, and do it very well, so can Google. They just choose not to. And so I choose not to use the

Little things like this helped me give up on Google. Just ... rubbish. They're basically a showcase of technology. Impressive if they can keep the flywheel turning without giving a ... for the everyday people they once pretended to ser

That's increasingly rare these days. There's a significant proportion of tribal automatons out there that imbalance the arguments.

It seemed to be a rebrand or rewrite ... but it was never the same and I gave up on it. Haven't tried it recently so cannot remember the features they dropped, but was damned annoying. Wunderlist was fine. MS Todo was basically the sam

I think someone below me said it best. You can set all the rules you like, but in the end, "cohesive teams will self organise" to make it work. We didn't have to set any guidelines, we just did what was needed. If that meant

You may be wrong. I'm staunch in favour of remote. I like it, it works. But I recognise the benefits of in-person. I would wager that what most people like me want is a bit of control of their schedule and to be able to work in a hybri

All of your concerns die away in a hybrid enviroment. And I disagree with your "tap on the shoulder" problem. That is easily resolved with a one line email/message which can be answered equally quickly with a one line answer

What's the hazard pay on something like that!? And can that is that covered in your job contract where they say "... and any other reasonable duties!"

Can confirm. My wife doesn't mind it at 17c ... I need it at least to be 20c, preferably 21/22c. We're talking to our lawyers.

This will usher in the end of Big Tech. At least for me personally. VPN at the ready. The UK government is the pinnacle of "If you haven't got anything to hide, you have nothing to worry about". Potential police state. The on

I have a bad memory, I think! If I spend a year learning French, I fear I'll forget it within 6 months. Any other forgetful people out there with solutions? lol!

You mean you've lived in an enviroment where these things tend to happen. Maybe it's time you up the standard of your associates. Those standards are high and low in all countries. It's your choice to associate or tolerate th

What? I kind of get that some censorship can be illegal. But if I privately choose to think that the views of X are idiotic, and kick them away from me because of that, that's my call. That's not censorship, that's me choosin

So, you're saying that if I, as the CEO of a private company choose, for example, to host certainn people or certain products on my platform, it's censorship? Strongly disagree. At the government level, I might agree - but not wit

Really frustrating to read articles like this having been through 2 years of making remote working super productive. I think some people just have an aversion to making it work, or a power trip, or need for bums on seats. For example, our t

That last point seems to be overriding problem with anything in this space beyond basic bitcoin. I keep coming back to it with anything to do with smart contracts. Can someone explain at least what the theoretical solution to this is? Other
