Phone calls and email? So only senior citizens will be trusted? What about texts? Are calls and apps measured using only Apple apps? What if I used 3rd party apps for these functions? I get very few phone calls, and half of them are spam ca

Think about paying more and not shopping at Walmart, if you want to stand on principle. Walmart is 'evil.' They don't pay their employees a living wage, so the tax payers have to pick up the difference.[0] And, although he is

This is a step in the right direction. C++ exceptions in practice are difficult to get right, and depending on dynamic allocation in an exception seems problematic to me. One of the main reasons to use exceptions is to save code. In one of

I wish Apple hadn't selected the Vampire Squid[0,1]. Are there any ethical financial services providers? EDIT: Service providers at scale, I mean. It's a serious question. Would you trust Wells Fargo? Bank of America? These crimin

Huh? Incorrect spam filtering is one of the main reasons I'm moving away from gmail. I routinely have to check my spam 'folder' to restore messages that aren't spam.

I wish I’d been in this experiment as a “leader” to see what I’d do, because I can’t imagine taking the cookie without at least asking whether anyone else wanted it, or offering to divide it. I can’t see any of my friends taking the cookie

Start with a simple idea, and rather than work to keep it simple, parasitic add-ons! Look at gas stations. It used to be they sold gas, and maybe oil. But evidently there's no money in gas, so now they all sell unhealthful snacks and b

The state sent out a death threat! People are just letting the government know how they feel. The design of this system is grossly negligent, which IS a management problem. It does look like a web page. How is the page served? An internal s

I was inspired by this Confucius reference in a recent HN topic[0]: As Master Confucius wisely advises, any effort to bring order to the world should begin by “rectifying names.” If language is not correct, then what is said is not what is

I disagree. In my own experience, working long hours is rarely a reliable way to produce excellent work or develop expertise. If anything, constraining hours is a better approach. Yes, there are side-effects to any strategy, and often the s

"Unreasonable" is the word! I thought this was a farce, but apparently it is not. I imagine the job description will go away after the deadline, but it's so long, I'm reluctant to paste the entire text here. Here's

A big problem in our culture now is that there isn't accountability at the senior level and now everyone knows it. (But eric_b's comment seems perfectly reasonable, and I'm baffled it's being downvoted.)

How is this not an anti-trust issue? Of course the government wants this capability to access anyone's system, so I assume nothing will be done. This has to be one of the worst things that has happened in the history of computing. EDIT

OK, one more thing. This "I can flout the law in my new business" attitude is a great example of white privilege, and this is why this attitude really grates on my nerves.

In jurisdictions where Uber is illegal, Uber's graywall activities are organized crime; there's no other way to put it. How is it any different than, say, an app that advises drug couriers where there are (possibly undercover) enf
