Dont get a macbook, apple is increasingly locking the OS down and bringing it closer to iOS. For a comparable laptop get a thinkpad X1 extreme, lenovo x1, dell xps 13 or dell precision 5530.

Can you explain how and why a subreddit gets taken away?

Think some of the concerns are pretty legitimate. Social Media has been used to coordinate mob violence in multiple Asian countries. How people use social media in different countries is very different.

I am with you on that, I am "this close" to cancelling Prime. Dont order on it anymore, strangely enough only reason I have it around is that I use the free photo storage as a second backup for photos (After Google photos)

I hope my local bookstores stick around long enough so that I can show my two year old son what the big deal about book stores is all about.

How long has the keyboard issue been going on? Have we seen Apple take any accountability? In case you have tech support staff at your employer, go talk to them about how widely prevalent this issue is. When I heard the defect rates I was a

Everything you said makes sense. Now pick up the phone and talk to a recruiter who is trying to hire employee #15 - the tales and projections you will get will be off the charts. My take is that there are people out there who will thrive fo

Maybe Tim Cook picked this strategy up over dinner with Trump. Trump - "And all these people lined up to pay me to put my name on their products". Tim Cook - Silently taking notes Trump - So, I was telling you about ... Tim, Tim

What you are saying sounds plausible, but one thing that leaves a doubt in my mind is the bit where management is worried they have not been able to capture the latest work. If prior work was fully fluff, why would they be anxious to capita

What is it with Intel and its roadmap. In my book Intel was the pinnacle of execution from as far back as I remember. The last couple of years have seen shocking half hearted attempts at adding things to the roadmap and then jettisoning the

I used to work for a game studio a long time ago. Here is a rough sketch of what the process looked like for that game studio a. Concept artists will create multiple possible worlds by drawing either using a physical medium or on a tablet.

Firms will often do things like claiming they are not firing you, they are closing out the role because the business need that the role required no longer exists. A couple of months later they will float a job posting with similar specs and

Couple of points 1. It struck me at some point that Netflix UI is carefully designed to hide the fact on how little content they really have now. If you go into different genres at times there are barely 40-50 things you can watch (sometime

I think you are conflating two unrelated distinct things in a very dangerous way. A book is at best a tool to influence your decision making. A physical object (like arsenic) is something that is acquired after you have gone through a deci
