It does me good to have those 1000 books. When I finish one on the train I get to pick a new one from the device when I don’t have network.

The absolute best analog out from a portable audio device that I’ve seen is an iPhone 6.

Everyone makes mistakes and this may have slipped through the cracks.

So that's what they mean by "killer" bread. On a more serious note, of the 12 ex-felons on their website, 2 are black males and 5 are women. This is highly nonrepresentative of prison demographics.

Yes, and all Fortune 500 CEOs have it. They have more power in their organizations than the President of the United States has.

The headline is analogous to “Antitrust laws are not needed to prevent price fixing.” Treated as a statement of fact, it’s technically true, but it’s really a statement of policy opinion, whose weaknesses are clear.

No, it wasn’t in quotes. The Guardian should just say “paucity of African Americans” or some statement that avoided ascribing intent.

No, because all Fortune 500 CEOs have the power that makes the organization respond to their slightest whim, whether they wanted that or not.

No, that’s what you have to do in his position. If Zuckerberg sends out a mail like “can you get me information on how flowers are sold in China,” a SVP will delegate to a VP, a product marketing manager will fly to China, they’ll prepare a

Yeah, Wall Street has much more experience in this. Whenever there would be something illegal to discuss, there’d be a phone call between our personal cell phones (company lines were recorded).

Disappointed to see the Guardian refer to Facebook as “a tech corporation that largely excludes African Americans.” “Excludes” implies a deliberate and willful act which they cite no evidence for, and the editorializing is more appropriate

Sadly, one big barrier to this is that a lot of regulations prevent them from charging more money for this than for a regular ride in many jurisdictions. It’s obviously more expensive to provide so many companies don’t bother. An Uber is al

Let me explain: if you want to read your work email and access work files on your personal phone at most large companies, you need to install a mobile device management app like Lookout, Microsoft Intune, etc. These have deep spying permiss

These CEO demand letters are always perplexing. Do the authors think this is a representative government? The CEO represents the shareholders, not you. A letter from an employee is like a letter from a RAM stick in a data center.

No, but Google will retrain their personalization features post-delete so you’ll start from a clean slate but ML models for spam filtering etc. will not be changed until a re-train.

Yes, because if they had to flip a coin they would buy fewer companies, which would lead to less market consolidation.

Don’t understand the question. Say you have 10 million records across 50 systems. You clear data, each of those systems does a delete by userid, but then the collection starts again as of your next click.

Google does actually clear that data. It persists in some backups for awhile but it’s never used again.

I want to be a cog in 95% of my interactions. I only try to extract meaning from a few of my relationships.

It all depends on how many you want to sell. You can certainly sell n $350 bras. https://darkestfox.com/products/claire-velvet-set?variant=41...

Because individual choice on something that few people care about isn’t really anything to a company with Samsung’s power. It’s like saying “blowing on dust makes it disappear, why wouldn’t they work with Mount Everest?”

LOL I hope your representative American woman isn’t one familiar with the shopping in London, Paris, and NY.

“Eliminate the unbanked in NYC” is a lot harder to achieve than “require businesses to accept cash.”

This is not unique, it is the “integrated” vs “best of breed” offering. It’s like the oldest business school IT case. Amazon isn’t trying to sell the best anything, they’re selling one spot where you can get everything you need even if some

The thing that got him is that he’s British. Going after a foreign CEO is political red meat. Notice no action against the principals of Purdue Pharmaceuticals.

Of course, because everything is neurobiological as uncomfortable as that makes us feel.
