I think very few men even if they agree with point 1, would dare advocate that at their workplaces for fear of getting fired.

My experience: The organization was rigidly run which allowed good execution in the short run but blinded us to opportunities. So now the company is still around but all these companies that came afterwards exploited opportunities that we e

Stop your strawman arguments. I did not say the thing you quoted. Someone else may have but I didn’t. You can easily check that by looking at the commenters name beside a comment.

For Apple libraries, it is because the latest framework could be providing a completely different implementation and they both want and need everyone on that implementation. For instance, they reimplemented Photos, introducing a new interfa

Here is exactly what I said: We need to ensure opportunity all along the educational path. The current US system is blindingly obviously tilted. Furthermore examples of equality of opportunity were having equal access to previous tests, equ

I didn’t say norming test scores either. I said norming opportunity. Quote where I said that.

I didn’t say anything about norming performance. I just said that there should be equality of opportunity. Edit: I also said that there isn’t equality of opportunity for education in the US.

I do agree that opportunity wasn’t specific to race but there was obviously correlation just as there is correlation between race and income.

Opportunity is not even: a classmate prepared for classes by studying the material in the summer. Some classmates took SAT classes. On the flip side, a classmate had trouble studying because he had no quiet place to study at home. In my col

Your source code isn’t shared with Apple. You ship Apple a binary or intermediate code. Edit: Also doesn’t help if you have C or C++ code mixed in there.

It’s partly unfair and only a partial picture. Many apps post install proceed to download data. Some limit that amount of data they download but a few are indiscriminate about it. I hated the Yelp app because it seemingly did not limit how

For iOS, there are the shared libraries provided by the OS. UIKit, PhotoKit, etc... Shared libraries beyond that would bring the hell of version incompatibility. One need only look at Apple’s evolution of Swift where there still isn’t binar

The reason people say 2024 is because there is an age limit to be President. You have to be 40 or older. Oops. I was wrong. Only 35. He could possibly run for the next one depending on his exact age. May 2019 - 35

Different sectors are hot now and different sectors are concentrated in different areas. It’s not consumer social that is hot. Nor is it enterprise. It appears to be silicon. That is South Bay.

Why don’t you just limit the speed of the car to how much impact it can take without seriously injuring the passéngers and possibly pedestrians? That car can’t take a 40mph impact but maybe it can take a 25mph one?

1. Why are they interested in unicorns? 2. Are these just US companies? I would assume that there are a bunch of Chinese unicorns? 3. The study looked at only a few factors and correlation does not imply causation and the past is not a pred

I don’t think it was sexist. It’s just standard power based behavior. Isn’t specific to tech. Have seen that sort of behavior from people in power of all genders and ethnicities in the Valley for as long as I’ve been in the industry. Exampl

Intentional talent drain. A tiny bit of anecdotal information from a talk given by a couple of Pixar artists was that if you were an artist, you could get paid 30% more in Southern California than at Pixar in Emeryville. Also talked to an e

Many people can't pay the cost to be a doctor. The filter seems to be less intelligence and more whether you are willing and able to forego income for a long period of time. Those with family support are more able to do so. This suppor
