Hard to understand. They buy the one company division in the world who was pushing the Windows Phone brand, a company who was innovating in terms of design and cameras and who had finally cracked their own decent brand and product line etc,

I'm confused by this article. The engineers both do not dispute what their rep said on the phone, and also admit that it was not user error. But they have not said that it should not have happened. Maybe I'm misreading? Has anybod

Every year here in the UKish area the media makes a big deal about what words are being added by the big-wig printed dictionaries. Mostly because, as time goes on, the only words that get added are 'funny' like...YOLO...words like

Again, I'm not saying that this wasn't unwanted behaviour, and I'm not saying that it wouldn't be construed as harassment if it continued. But in court (it wouldn't ever get to court but) they'd just say "

You've literally cherry picked sentences from your own links to avoid pointing out that - as I originally said - instances of harassment such as being called a "milf" must occur at a demonstrably frequent enough rate that it

I'm not saying the owner should not be concerned at all. He should clearly log this incident and follow up at a later date to ensure that similar incidents haven't continued. If the female worker is satisfied that they haven'

I understand that it's an acronym. You mustn't be thinking straight if you feel acronyms can't transcend their literal interpretation. Spend 10 seconds thinking about it and you'll think of many nouns which originated as

Did you not read my post? It does not literally mean "I want to fuck you". You'd have to be pretty dense to think it is a literal come on or proposal. It's a mainstream pop culture term. Turn on any random X-Factor typ

I'm baffled by this thread. Yes it might not be appropriate and yes it might necessitate action, but fire him immediately when the "milf" handled it, ended it, and the situation was finished? He didn't push it further th

Why would you want to know/ask about their cache engine when it's not clear they have one, or even have a single user? Did you, by any chance, configure the site's cache engine... :)

Imo AskHistory can be boring as hell because of the heavy-handed moderation. I get the effect that they're going for, and it works, but it's frustrating to go into an interesting topic to see every comment deleted and a mod warnin

Well except there's a video of someone's bike skidding around on its own on the site. So the motors do exist in the sport...

I assume that most people would feel that a motor in a manual bicycle is far more of an egregious rule-break than performance enhancing drugs, which are an aspect of every pro sport in the world. That video of her bike doing donuts on its

I think an important aspect that seems to get missed is that it's almost all blatantly meant to be humorous, no matter how dark it gets, or how incomprehensible to outsiders.

I agree. I'm terrible at maths so struggled with aspects of Computer Vision in my degree, but I don't see how you could use OpenCV without understanding the principles to at least a basic degree. It seems like you're purposel

Pretty cool. What's the likelihood of this every happening to a member of the public these days? I presume that, in the eventuality of all pilots being out, there's a hierarchy of people who would then take over? I.e. if there are

No. That's not what office 'culture' is, that's 'employee perks'. Employee perks may be a part of the culture, as they famously are in Google. But there are more considerations. E.g. the architecture, the histo

Well I can tell you that it must, from the organisation's point of view. Hiring/training/maintaining a work-force isn't free, and the tacit knowledge the employees gain has value, so a high churn rate is bad. Again, from

Um, I feel like this will have repercussions in terms of staff churn rate. Office spaces are one of the definers of culture, and culture is one of the main motivators for staff. I'm certain that remote working suits many people, but I

This is one of those non-intuitive findings - like that study which showed bicycle helmets increase bicycle accidents due to increased risk taking - that I refuse to believe.

It is speculation, and as I said in my other comment, I'm totally baffled by it. The author has written a whole article about something that hasn't happened.
