Atleast for the example question I feel like it's like one of those stupid interview questions. It's a perfectly valid approach to accept the problem as it is - the clear implication is "here's the problem, your mechanis

An activist investor came in (Elliot Management Corp) and pointed out that they had failed to innovate for 5 years and that their CEO had literally decided to go part time and move to Africa. Twitter's share price has been absolute tra

You have this almost exactly backwards- PH now own (or are responsible for) their entire industry because they take all the profit.

So what I’m learning from this is that unsurprisingly this unregulated market has a tonne of market manipulation. Not sure why anyone would get involved if they didn’t plan to cheat. How long before there’s a bomb threat at the CDC in order

I talked to someone who was working with BMW 5 years ago and they had a similar story- automotive companies hated Tesla because they all understood that one screw up on self driving probably meant he death of their brand in terms of safety

Reminds me of a kafkaesque situation I had a few years back. I was getting text messages from Barclays about my account (I don’t have an account). I contacted them telling them to desist but because I’m not a customer I can’t actually tell

I think this obsession with money laundering is kind of absurd. Firstly the entire point of these technologies is it’s a permanent record so authorities could track you down any time. Secondly they’re grabbing tonnes of headlines which is t

Yeah the idea that this was previously a technical limitation and not a commercial one is absurd. Ticketmaster could’ve put a “transfer ticket” button in their system a long time ago - but venues don’t want a 3rd party reselling tickets.

It depends how complex you want to get. First, you have tasks and there a few different types, time-bound (do by friday) and ongoing (do every friday), then your tasks have to prioritized, then they have tobe linked to related tasks, often

That works for exactly as long as the data hasn't come out. Once the data comes out... well, you've got questions to answer.

Oh sorry, I'm not being deliberately vague - specifically the points raised by the open letter linked to by the article.

It's not "a smart strategy" to apologize when someone points out you've done something wrong. Well fortunately RMS collates all of his posts here: https://www.stallman.org/archives/2019-jul-oct.html#

Your reference to Linus is a great example that completely undermines the entire fundamental argument of "cancel culture". If people complain about your bad behaviour, you apoligize and we all move on that's not cancel cultur

Personally, I don't think the leader of any organisation is really free to make public comments about controversial issues and expect them not to reflect on the organisation they lead. I don't want to know what the leader of the F

I'm actually going to take the counter-side of this argument. It's actually very important for people to do the model work first. Yes, you need some amount of decent data, but the first step of a project should always be building

What I'm saying is that the correct response to those mobs is to ignore them or discuss their points on their merits. What often happens (particularly on HN) is a counter-mob forms that rails against the general idea of cancellation, d

This article deeply, deeply fails to resonate with me. I'm not outraged. I'm not outraged by some guy making some poltiically incorrect statement, I'm not particularly outrage by the people who sleuth through their twitter co

In my experience (manager of teams 5-10 people) the purpose of the goals is to ensure that you're setting expectations between you and the company and holding you to what you agreed on in the first place. The key is that if you haven&#

Microsoft software is a clusterfuck. The branding is very clean. It's not the marketing guys' fault that MS bought 3 different solutions to the same problem.

Well there's two reasons. Firstly, you're not producing a competitive advantage by writing your own site. Unless you have some specific purpose, why would you waste your time. Let's assume it takes you a couple of weeks, that

I just want to chime in to say, either defend Stallman or don’t. Don’t do this silly moral panic “I worry about society” thing. Address the issues, don’t make gross generalisations.

With other sites like Parler there was a reasonable expectation going in that maybe these sites would be ok. And then they violated terms of service. I don't think Trump is going to pass KYC checks for any decent company.

This just seems like a manifestation of the class shift that happened in the internet era. Don't be an idiot - you don't work for youtube. You don't work for Youtube, you don't work for Youtube, Uber, Facebook or Apple.
