Sorry, what? Do you expect that no company can think about what to write before they post it, or that any post about anything internal must cover all internal issues? Posts must be either all roses or a no-thought laundry list of everything

It's interesting that only 3% of accounts have posted at least one toxic comment, and yet those accounts posted over 30% of the comments on the site (in an 18 month period).

The problem with the tip minimum compensation is it's usually calculated over the whole pay period, not each shift. So you could have one shift where you're making an equivalent of $25/hr, and then another where you're o

I think we're saying the same thing. You're trusting the statistical analysis done by the author. When I peer review, I check to make sure that the conclusions the paper draws are in line with what it says statistical analysis was

As a reminder, peer review is not designed adversarially. It is not supposed to catch people who are fraudulent before they publish---that's the point of replication (which happens rarily). Peer review is designed to ensure a the publi

Every section ends with a summary of the research discussed, and the last section discards some alternative theories and ends with the thesis of the article. Why can't people read the article in question? Is this not something we learn

Sorry, what? A company blog post that links to their jobs page means you won't use a service? Do you just not use any service that advertises? How do you get Internet access?

Microsoft runs a "legal" root program, rather than a "public" root program, meaning if you're included in the Microsoft root store, you sign a legal contract with Microsoft. This is not the case with Google, Mozilla

Odd that this article suggests that Intel ignored a new technology until it was too late in the Apple case, when the article that they link to back that claim argues for the other style of disruption---low-end product eventually claws up ma

Let's say you sell a data product that generates around 1TB per day, which is downloaded by every customer once. On AWS/GCP, that's roughly $80/day/customer in egress costs, which would make the minimum pricing of t

That's not an accurate study since the demographics were self-reported, and there was evidence that the education demographics were not in line with the expected distribution of the other demographics. Anti-vaxer's were likely lyi

There's plenty of evidence that this type of attack surface (parsers operating on untrusted data received over the Internet) is fixable, even at Big Tech scale. The most obvious example is Microsoft Office in the early 2000s and the sw

I like Dave Arnold’s “Liquid Intelligence”, but I cannot stand his podcast. Comically, I don’t really like Kenji / Serious Eat’s written content, but his YouTube channel is great.

So why are they going to pay for hosting for the open-source version? Nothing wrong with building open-source versions of stuff, but I don't see open-source being a viable business model in this case.

Certainly, it's possible to sell certain VCs on borderline-fraudulent visions of the future, the so-called Investor Storytime pitch. I'm think of Juicero, YikYak, WeWork, etc. However, that doesn't mean that to be a fraud-res
