This isn't an iPhone issue, it's a US carrier issue. Americans need to be asking ourselves why we let ourselves get pushed around so much more than other first world countries on these kinds of things.

It comes from the short term view pretty much all companies have these days. They underpay, have nice looking budgets, manager gets promoted. The churn costs the company but the person who caused the problem has already moved on.

I don't like this advice personally. If you want more money you need to change jobs. Asking what progress you need to make to get the raise you want is normally just going to get you strung along doing extra work for nothing.

It's attitudes like yours that are pushing the prices down. Your view is also wrong. There are lots of jobs and lots of workers to fill them. You could also just go abroad. There are lots of nice places to work and with English you can

Your critique is correct, but doesn't apply to this situation so much. Insurance isn't going to want to cover accidents if no adult is involved and insurance isn't known for making exceptions in the customers' favor.

Actually it kind of was by Bezos' letter. The whole thing about "some companies are about ripping off customers with expensive stuff, we're about providing value". Well, it turns out the more expensive thing is a nicer experience so his

>Once deadlines start slipping, it's a slippery slope. Yes, and once people start doing insane things like working double hours and skipping sleep then the deadline is going to get worse and the finished product will be a train wreck.

Interesting story. Physical labor is totally different than mental labor, but if your business is about doing lots of physical labor doing long hours could make sense.

Except most people who follow your advice are never going to be CEO. They're going to throw their whole life away chasing this, never to reach it. Other's may get a lot of money exploiting such people though.

To be honest, going the startup route is about the worst possible way to get what you want (assuming you mean: working for other people's startups. Your own could be ok depending on how you do it). A startup will likely have stupid ideas a

If you're trying to say that the EU makes better decisions than the local government I would tell you that it's at best hit and miss. I wouldn't go as far as to call this decision a fluke, but I've generally found the EU to make more bad d

Even better; stop wasting so much time and money from a trivial, near non-existent threat.

A lot of attention need to be brought to it then, so all their customers can leave and other ISPs see how bad for business it is.

What could your question possibly mean? My claim is that it's meaningless. Maybe this could or could not have happened with another administration. But bad things that happened with this administration could or could not have happened wi

But doesn't that make the initial "observation" nonsensical? What could be meant by "would this have gotten by in another administration" other than, "wow, we're so blessed to have these guys" yet it's just cherry picking (same as I did, b

Your posts on the subject seem far and away too utopian when we're talking about wikipedia. They've already had a lot of scandals about censorship/bias/etc. now . That would only get worse when money was on the line.

Steve Jobs had over 6 billion dollars. When he got sick he went to Switzerland for care. US health care is not "much higher quality" than Europe regardless of income. That's a Fox News myth. Like anything, it's not black-and-white. US

That's pretty cynical. If big business is backing out, SOPA is dead. The people don't want it, the politicians don't care either way so long as they get money.
