In a way, I wish people would just leak the source for things like this by posting it anonymously as a torrent, for example. It's the ethically correct thing to do in a broken system.

The side-by-sides are disingenuous in my opinion. For example, if you create your client object by specifying the access key and ID, something is very wrong.

Don't bother with this, it's just the usual disgusting PR spin from BigCorp PR Department.

I'm going to rip into your examples not because I want to, but because this is the only comment with concrete examples I can use to show the fallacy of needing managers. Apologies. > Prevent other teams from reaching in and randomiz

You're presuming he performed managerial tasks, which presumes further that those tasks are unavoidable. It's difficult to imagine if you've only ever worked in places where this is evidently true, but that is only one way in

Glad to hear this sentiment here. This kind of thing has been framed from day 1 very carefully by banks. Don’t fall for it.

I've noticed I'm fairly anti-American most of the time, but even I wouldn't have taken that away from this. Jesus.

iOS does not ship with a plain text editor as far as I know. I think it's _kind of_ there underneath when you open a plain text file directly, but it needs to be associated with the app that's accessing it. As an aside, iAWriter i

I'm in the same situation and don't have this issue. It's not that the OS doesn't support plain text files, it's that other OSs bundle in plain text editors, and iOS doesn't. Simply install one (like iAWriter),

This film is definitely a trigger for me, so I'll concede that I'm over-reacting. However, I do not believe the ending was easy to follow, not just because I didn't understand it, but because I've never heard anybody who

No reason to ignore it, but it's pretty easy to argue against. I realise in some places you'd not be talking directly to the person it came from, but if the person you _are_ able to talk to says "That all may be true, but jus

Whilst I'm fairly anti-Apple (though I grudgingly use most of their products), even I have to call this a stretch. If they were asking for your guitar in return for a discount on a new iPad as a publicity stunt, sure, I'd have iss

Sounds like they want people to fund their romantic idea of what an author is. > ... and our dreams of being an author will be realized. Alas, that’s all it is. A dream. You wrote a book, you published it (?), you're an author. If y

Appealing to authority doesn't negate what I said. There was a clear narrative to the story, Kubrick failed to convey it. That is poor film making.

> You do know that in the case of 2001, the movie and book were done simultaneously, right? There’s no failure of adaptation because it wasn’t one. It makes no sense to fault the movie by comparing with the book in this case. Yes, I know

Agreed, and I’d be comfortable calling this incompetence. Triggers cinemaphiles to hear a director that’s supposed to be ome of the finest being called incompetent, but I can’t see how it’s defendable. He failed at the _one thing_ a film is

This is something I hadn't considered, and bears thinking about. In about 50 years, we're going to be top heavy by a long way. Most people on the planet will be over 60, with a small population of people working to support them. P

I'm not at all inclined to believe this is anything more than a co-incidence, but those things can definitely be induced in a way that's difficult to detect.

For sure. It's not a co-incidence that I keep raising the age I think you're old enough to know enough, the older _I_ get ;) I'm aware of the ridiculousness of this, but what can I do? You don't know what you don't

This is a very good point, I think. So much of what gets discussed these days (understandably) doesn't take into account the world that's invisible to technology. This is dangerous because it shapes our world view, and our decisio

Maybe somewhere around 60 is a good cut-off point, but 35 is still too young to have gathered necessary life experience to make you suitable.

Read it, and that's my response. I get it, we could be more like the U.S.A. in the way we operate by removing / changing some of the obstacles we have for business. I don't want that.

I've rarely seen it work. Usually they come in, splash a lot of money around to learn the expensive lesson that Europe isn't America, and leave.

I've been refraining from saying the same for fear of starting arguments, but I'm still glad you said it. I've worked for an American tech company (and had a really good time doing so!) and visited the country. I can honestly

Yup, in my experience Europeans value quality of life over making their boss's richer.

Sure, if you don't exercise there's no need to shower every day. You may want to for other reasons though (it's nice?). A message I _would_ like to see more of though, is that there isn't an everyday reason to wash your
