The difference between someone making $50k/year and $500k/year is functionally irrelevant as compared with the C-levels. It's a rounding error to their multi-million comp packages. There shouldn't be anything distasteful

They pay too well to say no if you don't have any other competing offers. For some roles they pay too well even with competing offers. It's literally life changing money for a lot of people. I'm just about to hit 2 years an

This past year they didn't do stock refreshers for most employees due to the rise in stock price. They calculate your total comp with an assumed 15% YoY increase in the stock price, and if it goes up more than that they decrease stock

The day to day toxicity is highly dependent on your team, manager, and skip. My current team is great, my manager is halfway decent, and my skip is basically invisible to my team in a day to day sense. I've seen a few other teams where

Not even close, a lot of places are hybrid and there's a valid concern that we'll see more tech companies (large and small) follow in Amazon's lead just because Amazon did it first. Currently trying to leave Amazon and it&#x2

Amazon isn't really a growth company anymore, they don't need the highest talent individuals to maintain market dominance. To that end they probably don't care about the "best" talent leaving for other places anyway

If that's the case then they're probably more upset that they're not getting paid for this data than anything else.

Absolutely agree - I've been watching the slow enshittification process that Discord has been going through and keeping a close eye on any alternatives and there just aren't any that I could get my less technical friends to join.

That's a pretty broad definition of "device" Nintendo is using there.

It's worse than bad, Nintendo's argument seems to boil down to "decryption = circumvention", even if you have a legit keys.prod file from your own system. The full text goes into detail about how Nintendo thinks that usi

That's kind of the point though - the more widespread you see it being used the more likely it is that the tool itself will get more attention and the targets of the tool will get more attention. The point of a bill like this is to sho

It's this plus a distinct lack of enforcement. I've driven in 3 major cities over the last decade (LA, SF, Seattle) and in all of them the local police departments have been ignoring a lot of traffic infractions that they would ha

There's definitely a difference between "Cookies provide X value" and "We were able to mitigate the loss of cookies by doing A, B, and C - but we don't know the value of doing A/B/C individually." If

Yeah, the fact that they don't have a clear indication of impact means one of two things: - Cookies weren't doing a whole lot for them to begin with, and removing their use had negligible impact. - The other work their marketing d

No, the argument was whether Win11 is "good" or not - that's independent of whether Win10 is "good" (or better), or whether some flavor of Linux is better than either one.

by Root_Denied 3y ago
The fact that you have to de-bloat and strip the telemetry is really at odds with saying Win11 is a "good" operating system. Enjoy things that are bad, nothing wrong with that, but don't try to convince that they're actu

Small nitpick on choice of words here - homogenous probably isn't the right word to use, instead the correct term is probably invariant. The universe appears homogenous at various scales, meaning it's self-same within some amount
