I was a sales engineer and I can assure you if your product is sufficiently innovative, nobody will have a budget for it, so this is an expected objection and every sales person would be trained to address it and they either were not paying

Or in case of Singapore, your heat wave is our most days in 80% humidity. And on the days it isnt hot, it's probably pouring rain... you know 10 seconds of it is indistinguishable from jumping into a swimming pool rain.

I suppose the business courses you took are tech startup oriented. For tech companies until recently, the business is valued at roughly 10x revenue, so revenue is the all important metric. Profit is not important. This is why the barely pro

Not a current Salesforce employee and never worked for Slack, but from my POV when I was there, I can tell you Salesforce is effectively in the same state during this period every year, so I dont know what Slack employees will be missing ou

Dear prospective parents, esp first time parents, hoping to be perfect parents, I just want to tell you, after 4 kids, just do what works for you. Your sanity has a bigger influence on the well being of your child than any single factor lik

Balwani wasnt just any employee. He was a significant debtor(investor?) to the company and could blackmail Holmes for her role in the fraud. Not saying Holmes is innocent or powerless, but it is not entirely fair to suggest she can fire him

To be fair, if you are reading this or wrote this, you are far from a "typical" male in this study. The typical includes a lot of low income and/or blue collar workers who cannot or will not take good care of their health and

Until the recent two years, no referral means no response whatsoever, for me anyway... referral usually guarantees I will hear back, even if it is rejection, all else equal, including the exact same resume of mine. EDIT: Forgot to mention,

Yeah, I was diagnosed at 6, had my first sustained computer interaction at 9, had my first computer at 21, first cellphone at 25. (I'm old, but I also live in the myopia capital of the world)

i'm from Singapore, what QR code transaction are you talking about? Never heard of it. Are you confusing us with China/WeChat?

Well said. For years now, I hear people say Facebook is not useful for "me" and I dont even disagree. But how typical are the "me"s among the billions of facebook users? Furthermore, in many third world countries, the on

Itanium was a trojan horse to get their rivals to give up on MIPS/Alpha/UltraSparc development. As soon as those CPUs lost all traction, Intel dumped Itanium as well. Intel was never serious about the Itanium. Considering how perf

This will not be true if a long service worker accumulated a huge seniority based increments. Even past high performers who has taken their foot off the pedal would be in this group.

You should always be aware of industry trends to stay employable, including learning what skills recruiters are looking for. You are always one management change away from a reshuffle.

I think it is not right to map ncsa mosaic to the iPhone. Mosaic will more correctly map to the earlier smart phones like the Treos, window CE and symbians, which were in existence in 2003

I'm in Singapore and this is not reported at all. Likely affects only Telkom Malaysia users only - one Malaysian telco lost their link to Singapore rather than Singapore losing link to the world as implied by the headline.

When your dev teams are strewn all over the world and the lowest common manager with the people managing the OS is the CTO 6 layers up, you will find making things "just work" get exponentially more difficult and all sorts of work

You must think whatsapp acquisition is insane and fb ran by amateurs. The fact is Twitter is of great value to the likes of Google and fb, beyond simplistic pe ratios. In fact, pe is a very poor valuation tool for tech companies.

You may want to read the link you cited. Also, Little India is not impoverished. It just looks so to a casual tourist. The fact is rent in Singapore is substantially driven by their accessibility to Little India.

I dont like the Gardens, but it is not correct to say it is wasted. Precisely because it is reclaimed, it needs another decade or so for the soil to settle before we can build skyscrapers on it. Trust me when I say it, real estate speculati

I think WP8 is ok. The biggest challenge is the image of Microsoft. In the hands of Apple, WP8 would be lauded insanely great too. The next CEO of Microsoft has to repair this image, and give Microsoft a new reason to be cool again.
