Companies have too incomplete a notion of the value of training and a positive environment to retention and productivity. People really do think skill is innate and people 'are who they are' more or less. It's probably not tr

There aren't any difficulties if you don't get it working either (yet). The Internet still works with no issues.

Especially at the level of a $300-$500 investment, I'll add. Sure, I might upgrade for $50-100 if it's more reliable.

I could be lighting a fire by saying this, but I've been using AirPorts for 5 years and haven't had a single issue. Is the issue just that the non-Apple-customer market didn't have a good analogue?

Serious question: whose WiFi is not working, to the degree that they think, "I really need to get a modern router to make this Internet thing actually work." I'm seeing about a dozen fancy modern wifi routers all trying to so

I've done sonification of data before, and it's not easy at all. This one is really well done -- it's really difficult to get the tonality and rhythm to be pleasant as well as accurately represent the data. Nice work whoever

True at all levels; statistics are rarely taken into account in _any_ performance review or measurement process. It is always assumed that the individual is responsible for his or her own performance. However, the opposite is largely true:

Geez, especially in a car that can accelerate as quickly as a Tesla, you'd think they'd give the passengers some nice handles in a predictable familiar spot like that! Small detail you're right, but that's pretty funny.

Thanks! That's good to hear and sounds better in real life.

As a UI designer, I have a question for any Tesla owners out there. Are the UI text and interface elements large enough? They appear pretty small for their intended use in a busy and distracting car environment. I notice that with each revi

I'm so happy to see the increase in gut microbiome research lately, as someone suffering from an immune-related colitis. There's very clearly a correlation with anti-microbial and microbe-influecing things (pepto bismol, herbal an

"Clusterfuck" is a perfect description. No one is saying that the clusterfuck isn't valuable, profitable, or useful. They're just saying it's a clusterfuck. The LA freeway system is a clusterfuck, but without it the

My lord, why isn't Allo just Hangouts 3? They had an established userbase, a name, a brand, and useful cross-platform tools already. I get the desire to start fresh, but that's a lot of established traction in a very crowded marke

Ok, points for the Economist's title 'Twitter in retweet.' That's some fine pun-crafting right there. No comment on the service itself. I love it. It's one of the only methods of public one-to-many distributed commu

The difference is in how smart the jack can be. First, it's under legal/licensing restriction, which means you have to pay to play (ignore the adapter for now; it's inconvenient and can also be detected as a particular kind o

Also consider the statistics of being able to actually reach the full number of affected consumers in the class -- the fraudulent claims are probably representative of 10 times more that couldn't be reached but are deserving, and becau

For advanced analytics and true sensemaking, much of this might be true. You need a human to really deeply understand data and find what it really means. However, let's apply the pareto principle. 80% of the needs are served by 20% of

I'm not defending coders, I'm rejecting the individual mentality—that people are just good or bad by nature, and aren't in some (large) sense a product of their environment as well. Attribution bias tells us that we tend to s

Moral of the story: learn as much as you can from uncertain situations now, because you may have less ability to when you get older.

It's the whole system that forms the basis for the problem: management, engineers, PMs, Designers, everyone who touches the problem space. If you want to improve, you need to make sure each part of the system is aligned around the same

And really, the fact that we're caught up on this at all is concerning. It was one small suggestion in a sea of rather intelligent discourse mostly on team environments, structures, and management. Not technology.

It's not microservices that help. It's changing the culture around how things are developed and understood, and the parent poster is saying that exposing the team to daylight using something such as an architecture like microserv

Is there any collaboration for which these insightful realizations don't hold true? This is great advice for the joining of any two fields or parts of a process (in particular I'm thinking Design and Engineering are quite similar

That's certainly a difference from much of the open source world, with half the mobile phone market based on Android, for example. The market for certified compilers in the grand scheme is very small in comparison, so it could be argue

Yeah, it works for what it is—it's not wholly dysfunctional, obviously, but I was responding to a discussion bringing up several imperfect parts from both a creator and user perspective. I think they're common challenges in open s

There's a problem somewhere in the system of open source and the people who use it, and everyone above me provided many examples of dysfunction. It's dysfunction of a system with a very unclear reward framework, primarily centered
