I've read your link and it's unclear to me why I wouldn't want both, relatively slow threaded conversations and quick real-time chat. And also I don't understand why slack+email wouldn't fulfill these needs already.

how do you figure out the solution to the bugs in a reasonable time without having 1:1 sessions? If you just hand over the bug and the other guy has to deal with it alone then that's really inefficient. That's also why it's h

True, it doesn't reach a stastistical significance of >=95%. How does knowing roughly 100 Chinese people from different social levels, tiers, geographic locations, backgrounds compare to reading an article of foreign origin, though?

This is so western propaganda boilerplate. What is the warning sign? China lifted more people out of poverty than all other countries combined. Actually the whole world is recognizing how centralism seems stronger than western federalism, a

It is not true. It's just that politicians need official reasons to do what they do. And it's a great thing to use historical reasons because nobody can really counter them. Not a single Chinese person I know thinks about Westerne

Great resource, thanks a lot! I think this is really the stuff you can't learn in high school education and have to learn by yourself. There our teachers are native Germans as well and while they are probably better than the average se

That's really good to know (although I'm not sure how the "z" is pronounced in that case either). I always say "ksenon", "ksülofown" (ü is a sound between -e and -u and funnily exists in German and Ch

Thanks. However "z" is also not really a clear sound, right? "ds" or "ssss" or "tsss". Naturally I would interpret "zigh" very similar to "sigh" but since "sigh" is a rea

Never I would have guessed that "xi" is pronounces "gsai". I would pronounce it "shee" (like chinese) or "ksai" (english) or "ksee" (german). Also, I don't thin we need another editor w

I love how you put the whole business case into a single comment. Officially they track an objective interpretation of the company. Only few companies would really get positive review though. So they also offer a way for the companies to im

You are the reason why websites like Glassdoor exist. Acting unfairly and feeling mistreated for not succeeding. What the hack... I bet if you talked to the reviewer from the beginning he would've taken down the review immediately.

It's a nice fantasy, but sadly not correct. Delivering an important share of the production value is valuable on the business side, that's true. But it's not the major factor. It's one of multiple bargaining chips. Knowi

"just install and run" is not admin friendly though. At some point you want or need to tweek your stuff. I'd argue the most logically tweakable is the most admin friendly.

I seriously always failed getting over that first hurdle every time I tried. I didn't try this one yet, but most guides deviate from whatever my setup will be by a little, and that then increases to a lot of investigation work with pre

Agreed. And I would even say that the traditional gender definitions will shift automatically if it's really the case that women can be the major bread winner in a relationship. The basic deal of "I give you a home, you give me fi

This should be labelled "in the US". In Europe the public transport is often quite good.

Also if there are huge changes at the top of the internal food chain a huge corp, which is already slow by definition, will react even slower. This problem set is likely to extend more before it gets better.

The headline should include the word Apple somewhere. And it's also not a surprise that the era of conferences ends around an environment of a single company. This is one of the things why some people go through the troubles one has o

The question is not if it is a video conferencing software. We have billions of these. The question is if it can deliver a solution on the old problem of sucking Voip connections, especially with multiple participants.

Absolutely agree. Mafia is not a democratic type of government. And even most despotic governments are probably better than the average mafia, for the people they rule. Reason being that you can't rule a big, stable country if you are

This sounds very reasonable to my personal observations. It's basically a type of government, that is not officially recognized as such. And yes, people are worse off under it than under most official governments. However even without
