I can imagine those roles being a lot of fun. They know what they're doing, respected in their roles, working with people they like and respect I would guess. Salary can't be bad and you'd expect they can offload any of the w

There is some pretty impressive fantasy politics going on around this anti-trust stuff. As you say they have departments full of people that deal with all of this, except the times when Cook needs to essentially present their work. On top o

If Microsoft has any sense they’ll run from this debacle.

This is my experience too, I have a single long term friend that started as a colleague, but the rest have drifted into acquaintances after leaving companies. I liked the majority of them, and we socialised outside of work but when that mai

I suppose the problem is that digital products don’t degrade. Buying a used DVD for example is a choice to save some money for a product that’s worn. Lending is an interesting one though.

That isn’t really the case with any digital purchases is it? Or very few.

That’s not the type of master that’s it’s referring to. But I’m not sure etymology really matters I guess.

My wife has one of these and she absolutely loves it. I've only driven it a few times but seems like a great car. Price is really good too.

We need more information than that poll. Someone unwilling to take a brand new vaccine is not inherently the same as some loony anti-vaccer. It’s not obvious to me that it would be sensible to be first inline for one of these vaccines that

I've only travelled to America once, and its the only place of all the places I've been to where I've been essentially interrogated in the departure lounge at Heathrow. I don't really recall what he was asking but I reme

Free to you, the user pays with their data. This is apple giving the user the option not to subsidise the website operator.

Sometimes it feels like I live in another dimension. I worked with dozens of developers using macs that never make complaints beyond little niggles, then I come on here and you’d think the entire ecosystem was a dumpster fire. It’s enough t

LinkedIn could really do with a way to segment recruiters. I don't know how that would work but I tend not to go on there an interact as most of my feed is recruiters either listing jobs I don't care about or talking about the rec

We've got huge nuclear issues in the pipeline though. The latest reactor is going to cost us a fortune and almost all of our existing infrastructure is at the end of its life.

My guess would be that initial spike won't sustain them over the following months. When places round here opened they had massive queues on the first day, now its back to nothing.

I'd love to read some studies on this to be honest. My guess would be that a certain size its impossible to not have the kind of bullshit this thread is full of. I'd wonder if it's a related to the age of the company though,

This rings a bell for me. Before I started at a big firm I assumed they'd be super optimised to get people going fast, as its a common occurrence for them. What I didn't realise was that you sitting waiting for equipment and login

I find that whatever Google releases these days I’m reticent to even bother trying it. I just assume they’ll kill it in a year or so anyway.

Yeah I struggle to believe that group is large enough to support restaurants re-opening. I don't know many that are willing to risk themselves getting ill but even the ones I do would rather stay home so that they can visit their famil

I think this is overstated. The butterfly keyboards were better day to day than the old style imho, and I say that as someone who had to have one replaced multiple times. It was the robustness that was an issue rather than the keyboard itse

I don't mean as like a privacy thing, I have no issue actually telling them where I live. I guess what I'm getting at is it feels weirdly paternal, like they feel like they're paying me to live in a certain level of comfort a

Seems like a weird take on what a salary is to me. I don't know if this is an American thing, and linked to the way your benefits work, like health cover. But I don't see my employer as having any reason to know where I'm loc

This is something I read a lot when I was looking at getting some Ryobi One+ tools. It ended up being that buying the tools bare was quite reasonable, but getting batteries was extortionate. I ended up getting knock off batteries for a thir

I gave up messing too much with lighthouse when I started getting weird results from it. I'd fix something it told me was a performance issue, the site would load faster, and something else would now be the top issue and I'd get a

Thats pretty cool. When I started a website recently I did something similar by hand, just so that I set it all up ready to accept data being plugged into it, rather than hardcoding it into the pages. Then when I got more time I went back a
