I know some people in tech don't like his Microsoft past but considering the role of Melinda and Bill Gates foundation in this and his continued funding for other such initiatives including Covid-19 vaccines, I think if someone deserve

I am assuming that's on purpose. For them the number of people on project is proportional to the money they can earn. Why would they cannibalize their revenue by allowing shadow profiles. Edit: re-read your comment. It seems like you c

While better than Jira in UI, I haven't been able to like Asana as a product for some reason. In my previous company we moved away from Asana to Jira because it seemed PMs and higher management found Jira easier to work with.

Yeah, seems like that. When Covid-19 hit, there were layoffs in AirBnB etc. and everyone was talking about how IPOs will get pushed for future. Seems like all those worries have evaporated considering Tesla is trading at $2000.

and to compare Atlassian was profitable for a decade when they went for IPO. Have always admired Atlassian on how it was run, at least till 2016 they had no sales team and grew the product with self serve.

The feedback I have heard has mostly been great, it is described as costly but worth the money at the same time.

To be fair to them, at least this para is more on what the customer demand is.

Not immediately, because I would want the Covid-19 situation to improve a bit with hopefully a vaccine before moving into foreign territory. Thanks for the offer though, would definitely ask in future.

Hey, thanks for taking the time for answering that. Your answers are realy helpful. - Definitely an interesting way to look at it, I am not sure whether I would be able to convince myself of this though, based on the cultural difference I h

But patronage of two big states which would be more than happy to keep a developed buffer state between US military bases. NK at least was rich in resources unlike SK.

Could end up as a rich real estate mogul though as a unification condition. Still a decent deal. Probably have to be at that position to understand that rationale I guess, right now it just seems heartless.

I am sometimes baffled at how the leaders at NK can't have a look at just down the DMZ and see what they could have. The difference in social indicators is magnitudes better. Their ideology has been proven so wrong. I wonder what will

Doesn't make what he said false though. If your state caters to mostly the wishes of the 93% majority suppressing others, you can effectively consider it to be an ethnostate for arguments.

Few questions, would be glad if anyone can answer these: - Would you know of good companies which have a good work life balance in Japan? - I know among the big tech, Microsoft and Google have offices there. Both seem to pay well as well.

That's interesting, I wonder if iOS/Android phones in China do something similar. I would be really surprised if Apple allows this.

Surely, they can't be MITMing HTTPS traffic without Cloudflare's blessing? Services not being available by region, that can be a bummer but that's not really a problem on internet service provider as such. Also, I am surprise

Yeah, Gmail hasn't become that fast with loading etc. considering how much internet has improved. That is one place where I think they can improve a lot. It also might be related to all the smart auto compose/grammar features they

Well, if business model is what you are worried about. If people are fine with paying for email services, you can even pay for Gsuite and then no ads on even Gmail and even custom domain support. I am not sure on this but I doubt they would

I know it is easy to hate on big companies but how do you leave them when credible alternatives are not even close in productivity/performance. I tried leaving Macbook, but whenever I have tried the alternatives(even Thinkpad with Ubun

Even after using DDG for the last 5-6 years, I find myself always using !g with it. So much that, it has become a muscle memory thing and sometimes I type it involuntarily. Sure, if I just care about US specific results and I am doing an ex

Yeah, didn't really understand the 90 minute limitation. Wouldn't it be better to allow the guest to play as long they want once the guided session is over.

Based on the anecdotes I have heard, I think it does exist. I had met couple of guys who had worked in France based companies and they did tell about feeling very isolated there. In contrast, even with all the racism around Brexit, one of t

Btw, just because people are immigrating, it doesn't mean racism is low. Economic opportunities and better quality of life might be the main drivers, even at the cost of facing discrimination. Most of the French immigrants are from ers

Aren't taxis inherently an on-demand business model? Uber/Lyft just made the whole model online. Wouldn't it have been sensible to enforce and regulate minimum fare thresholds based on ride and distance which can be even appl

Yeah, you are right about that. My main point was just about messaging in general where Google couldn't evolve Gtalk into a smartphone era messaging app. XMPP I consider as an advantage personally as with lock in to platforms like Mess

Very well could have been Google's strategy in high end devices as well with charging upfront for few services in the cost of the phone itself. This just cuts into privacy as a marketing point for iPhone.

Yeah, my point was that only. You can either charge the user upfront or you can earn money with ads as the user uses the platform. For high end devices, maybe some of the services could have been considered paid off for before and could hav
