   IKEA has talent to split simple things into 10x times more pieces than needed. As a result - basic, simple things comes with 10-20 pages manuals on how to put them together. Now they invent an easier way to put them together. COME UP WITH L

    Google dominates this space and needs to boost their bottom line. Account suspensions, especially soon before the payouts are due [1] helps. Valid or invalid traffic is irrelevant and is not a cause, it's an excuse. That's why t

    With every single news outlet taking polical position lately - it became intolerable to read or find somewhat objective news source. I don't mind paying <$10 / mo for clean no BS objective and detailed coverage.

    This is too aggressive. I'd ignore request. If repeatedly pushed for an affirmative answer - I'd be frank and polite - stating that I am happy with your company however would like to keep my options open, just like all of us

    Asking doesn't hurt anyone. However giving certain answers could. What prevents employees from claiming that this information is "confidential" (polite version of "it's not your business"). Or outright lying ab

    Customers don't understand what you're talking about and they don't like blackbox solutions. I.e. ML-heavy offerings are throwing ML-rich buzzwords while customers want to solve problems who "talk" their language.

    I am not willing to pay $ per byte of storage or per minute of CPU time, no matter how buzzwordy the technology is. Flat fee offerings will be an enabler, not the technological advancement.
