Priced into product development at this point... 1) whistleblowing unlikely because any employee that steps out of line can and will be destroyed 2) any media fuss will blow over in a few days 3) promotions and bonuses require outsize risks

It said they were told that's why they were being recorded, it didn't say it was true. It's very hard to be certain what's going on unless we install tools that monitor management. On the plus side studies show this woul

Strange. It might be a cultural difference. I value outputs. To worry about how work is done if it is done well is micro-management. Some people do want to pay money to have employees that look busy. I knew someone (in America it has to be

The real crime is that these very smart data-entry clerks don't quit for programming jobs that pay double.

I would be sad that it seems they didn't feel they could trust me, but if they did the job well and for a good price why wouldn't I hire them again? Also, they're not my employee. I contracted them for a one time job. Totally

e-ink is remarkably endurable. I've had my Sony PRS-505 nearly ten years and it's still great.

I always find these discussions pointless without more context. How old are you? $40 in 1979 prices is $130 now. And don't get me started on trying to define how American definitions of class have evolved in the last fifty years...

I don't have kids (although I might be insane), but apparently there's a thing called a "baby-sitter" you can deploy in situations like this and for considerably less than $130 per child.

Terminal 5 was fast and flawless (until the day it opened and the airline computer systems fell over). Then again, it is a giant metal shed. Now Crossrail, THAT'S something.

Theyre already doing that with the sponsored content section and some really worrying companies (eg Facebook). Individual contributions towards specific causes could very easily be capped if they were worried about distortion. In practice,

That certainly highlights the importance of the right UX, but I wish they had invested in Patreon style features to allow support for specific authors. I would pay £5/month to the Guardian and be happy for them to take a 30% administra

It's a product of the inherently cut-price / amateur nature of the medium. Give me a well scripted well produced drama, comedy stand-up routine or documentary and I want to listen to it at 1x. Everything else is information sparse

If they weren't so far lost they would stop to applaud the German peoples' disdain for state surveillance. It makes Germany a safer base of operations than the US or UK.

The only incentive TFL has is to make travel as efficient as possible. The underground is way too crowded, but so are the roads (mainly because of taxis these days). This makes Uber a better bet than taxis (more efficient) buses better than

Just because it took until 2008 for the full effect of the property bubble bursting to be felt in the wider economy doesn't mean that the two weren't tied at the hip. There's a direct line from Bear through AIG and Lehmans to

I've been using uMatrix for over three years and very very few websites don't work with it. By far the most annoying 'feature' (more of a consequence of the internet) is the way that you can't whitelist HTTPS sub-do
