I agree. Don't mean to be cynical but every public speech given by Tim Cook (and everyone else of high profile) is about setting the stage for something. Aka posturing. They have too much money, control, brand, power at stake. And this

Even if a city has the 1/10 of the density of Seoul, there's no reason for a city as important as NYC to have internet infrastructure as bad as it is now. Density argument doesn't make sense. Why can't major cities in US

Actually not impossible to answer. Yes, all 4 factors do help US tech industry succeed. 1) Google could have made the amount of cash from ads because of population size of US. Had it started in places like Korea, it could've been profi

It seems that the FBI has really taken to heart the change in mission statement from "law enforcement" to "national security After 9/11, that's what people seemed to demand.

Considering the ridiculous amount of testing required (rightly so) for any change on the jetliners, they probably cannot keep up with the patches. One Windows running company I worked for long time ago simply didn't apply the patches.

I can't recall where I read the stories I mentioned earlier but you can find more stories in some books like this On Amazon - Made in Korea: Chung Ju Yung and the Rise of Hyundai Another legend about Chung Ju Yung. While he was out sup

IMHO, any interview (phone or onsite) for a tech job that rejects a candidate because of some deficiency is found in technical skills during the interview, whoever scheduled the interview is at fault. That manager/HR-person just cost t

In S Korea, you don't even need to order groceries. You can supposedly order ALL kinds of dishes to be delivered to your home. Or so I saw on youtube.

S Korea had some surprising early social network services before myspace ( est 2003) or facebook (2004). Cyworld (est 1999) was very popular social network service until it stagnated to the point where it now has about 40 or so employees on

Ever heard of NSA?

by dba7dba 11y ago
I disagree they will have no problem with it. Maybe NSA but not Senators. This deal is basically a form of tax inversion. Or is Avago paying all US tax because of the joint HQ in San Jose?

Not a secret now of course. I'm saying because it was kept secret at that time, not good records were kept.

One company I worked for stipulated in the separation letter that I will not ever be able to work for the company. If I did join the company and they found out, they would let me go. Is that the came for other companies?

Sorry but I disagree it's fault of everyone else. True Bush invasion started this. But as far as the collapse of security forces in Iraq (which allowed ISIS to gain infamy), most of the blame lies with the Iraqi govt. You can't st

Just want to add that many like to ridicule bureaucratic politics of (large) organizations. But in a way, bureaucracy is needed when a organization gets bigger.

I disagree about needless losses. Hitting a bridge with dumb bombs is extremely hard, let alone actually destroying it. With unguided bombs, they just had to drop enough of them and hope law of chances work in their favor. Stomping on a 150
