Not sure whether a management decision to remove the author is helping or hurting the goal to create an environment that isn't intimidating. ..because - compared to what was written in the memo - this is a very intimidating thing to do

It's well written and interesting (at least for me) but I wonder: Is this an ad? It's not specifically declared to be sponsored but somehow its critical paragraphs really don't feel all that critical. Unrelated but funny: it&

I don't know how it works in the US but in the German retail banking market there is only one clearly superior pathway to compete and this is through abolishing the banks local presence all together. Our credit unions are not competiti

A problem with monetizing messaging is that messaging services are a commodity. Buying WhatsApp mitigated this problem. Still: Fancy non-messaging features aside, I have at least two or three functionally identical channels I use to talk to

Thank you for the long response but I think you are beating a straw man here. Yes, democratic and market-based decisions are two different processes. If you review my comment you'll notice that I did not claim both to be the same. Both

If the health department is not paying the actual price, someone else is paying the difference. The department therefore does not get cheaper, it just looks cheaper on paper since the real costs are hidden. The reduced transparency is what

My criticism was meant to be valid irrespective of the actual accusations quality. The concern would still stand for the accusation of more serious crimes like rape, murder, genocide, etc. Being inspired to skip the trial and personally dec

It's a fair point on the long-term cost of sexual harassment combined with an uncivilized, one-sided public accusation. Do I miss something here? Which part of the argument could not have been made without ruining a reputation through

I expected it to be a strategic push towards their more interactive content aggregation feature built into Google+.

If people are very badly in need they can not sacrifice the time to rebel. It's somewhat counterintuitively the perceived oppressive poverty combined with an increase in wealth that enables revolutionary activity.

This must surely alienate potential supporters. I can not imagine someone getting to be US president with such shameful conversations being on the public record.

Some parts of the text appear to me to be rather sloppy and scientifically shallow. References to an ending "globalism" are as unproductive as they are heterodox. Also: Those are probably the worst visualisations I ever encountere

I don't even understand what the difference between a professional social network and a normal (?) social network is. I wouldn't know on how to behave differently.

This is not how companies behave in a market. As long as something which was previously part of the profit is cut out, costs will be realigned. This effect is independent from the label used to justify this previous profit. If it does not e

Firefox mobile is the only browser with actual ad blocking. Adblocking is more than pure resource blocking (which afaik Brave, Samsung, iOS et. al.) currently implement. In fact, the smaller amount of ads I would see would be blocked this w

What you are describing is not the result of yourself protecting your privacy but the result of being found to be suspicious. Not appearing suspicious is an important part of protecting your privacy. While it's true that acting stupid

Maybe there is another Windows versions difference I am not aware of. In my configuration this is still working. I went to services.msc and searched for "Windows Update". I stopped the service, went to its preferences and selected

Crudely, gpedit.msc needs to be installed by hand in the home version of windows 10. So, this should work - but only in the pro Version.

What's wrong with them? Bookmarks work great. They are not designed to be used as a personal knowledge base or a wiki. Edit: One of my most used bookmarks is to a specific url on localhost. I'd say bookmarks are as useless as a br
