I've been working remote for almost a decade, and most of the companies I've worked for have pulled me into the office at some point. All expenses paid of course. No, it does not stop an employee from outsourcing work, however a d

Don't like introverts, I guess? You must be new here. You should get used to it. Many of us are reserved in our replies.

I don't work for an early-stage startup, however, the company I work for is early mid stage. They share everything except (annoyingly enough) individual employee compensation. They also share risks/opportunities in a very transpar

IMO the various standards bodies should require validation against all commands and against a number of certified cables. Shoot, an automated test suite could absolutely identify all these issues. You should not be able to display HDMI, Dis

Agreed. I did not get a license (thanks to getting married, getting old, having kids and stuff), however taking flying lessons was the best thing I ever did for myself. Planes want to stay in the air. They don't just crash.

You described the US (regarding not signing, you are mistaken about the signature aspect). Most places stopped accepting signatures several years ago. Card readers are almost always 'insert' except in the very rare case where a ca

Ironically, I know everything from ASM to...well many languages, including C, C++, PHP, Python, Ruby, Javascript, etc. The most productive tools I used prior to learning all of that? HyperCard on the Mac, Visual Basic on Windows. Why? Tooli

I mean, if you actually knew what was going on at Microsoft, you'd understand. I don't work for them, don't use their tech stack (not since the 2000s at least), however even I know they've moved to a cross platform UI&#x

That is going away fast. The last time I signed for a credit card was...in Canada. I use a credit card literally everywhere. I do not use my bank account for anything beyond paying the card and 2 other bills. I do this for rewards, payment

If you view people as dead weight, that is the problem. Few folks that make a decent salary want to do the bare minimum. Only managers that treat them as such will call them 'dead weight'. Note that I'm not claiming you to be

Apple actually has really tight quality control over the applications found on the app store. If your app is found to have a vulnerability, it goes away immediately. That is why you don't have apps with malware or apps rooting the devi

AMD has beat NVIDIA in terms of performance and/or perf/watt more than NVIDIA has beaten AMD. Just because NVIDIA has larger market share does not mean they were/are winning. If you need to go back and look at history, look a

iMessage users don't get spam from other iMessage users. Also, iMessage lets you filter out 'known' and 'unknown' senders. Apple also will automatically flag/block certain messages if they are clearly spam.

You say this like it is a bad thing. I used Signal, which is an open-source messaging app. If Apple were censoring messaging apps I would agree with your seemingly negative sentiment, however, as someone who has pushed out apps to the Apple

My washer and dryer sing an entire tune when the cycle ends. Annoying as anything. Most of the microwaves that I've owned only beep when the timer is done, which I like. I do have one in my kitchen that beeps every minute or so and it

No, these are regulations for the blind. Laws, mind you. For a reason. So the blind don't walk out in front of a car. I agree with these laws. That being said, the noise should NOT be heard inside the car.

If the provider of the "green SMS bubble" stops selling data for a living, sure. I left Android a while ago for a reason. I loved Android; however, the privacy practices became too much for me to be comfortable with.

You are actually a bit closer to the truth than most. The goal of a CEO is to generate as much hype early on as possible in order to spur growth. They spend early capital on growing employee count to generate even more hype. This raises the

I am willing to bet they didn't factor in the whole meme stock craze. Zero of our stimulus went into buying said stocks, however I did make a bucket load from GME and AMC prior. Our stimulus went into further "stimulating" ou

As if companies don't do that on their own. I'm actively interviewing for new positions, and the amount of stuff that startups (most out of Silicon Valley) are doing is absolute batshit. From 2-hour tech screens to 19-hour unpaid
