That cost is quite incredible - that's $36.5k a month. So maybe each month: $5k for the cell $5k for facilities $5k for dine dining $10k each for 2 personal guards @$5k $5k for healthcare costs $5k car and driver on standby for potenti

I accept a slightly lower income from my employer, as I think they're pretty generous in their flexibility. Over a decade ago my father died and they just told me to take off whatever I needed. I'm still with them and have seen th

I came away with similar sentiments. I've absolutely no issue with anybody criticising their employment practices in their warehouses or delivery arms - especially the use of contracting companies to isolate themselves from the questio

I'm intrigued who James is - as he wrote half of them "Apple sucks !! ZEN Is where it’s at !" I feel sad for James in 2021

I'm not a developer, so maybe not the best person to ask. What seems to work is where areas of the product are assigned to specific teams - the overly-attached dev can at least see what's happening, provide guidance, without havin

I've worked with a few developers who are great - people who get bored of waiting so just build it themselves one evening whilst everybody's arguing over funding/recruiting the team we thought was needed. Within a team, I thi

I'd agree. I don't think the article is refutes that "10x engineers exist" - more that some engineers who are able to work fast are incorrectly labelled "10x" i.e. Having more knowledge or banging out shonky co

Yes - I wrote a messageboard in PHP 18 years ago whilst clutching an OReilly book in my hand. It's definitely not well coded, but it works. It's moved servers many times, changed OS, Webserver - and it's now running on my NAS

I don't think this sounds 'bad' For some random and arbitrary reason you and this existing employee didn't get on and are likely not to work well together. This fact is obvious to them, to you and even HR - everyone is i

Legally nothing wrong - but they've maybe been a bit disingenuous to their users. However, better than most (both by jurisdiction and their own rules) than other email providers - and I'd have thought any of their users who were s

Some good links to some infuriating stories. Maybe what both sides could unite around is an organization that will back up these officers? ~ "The Good Apple Officer Organization" At the most basic level, could cover the pensions o

This is the systemic racism that organizations are accused of. It doesn't (to me) mean that "everybody in the organization is racist and the whole thing should be disbanded/defunded" though. I take it as simply being tha

One of the current owners is the guy behind myfreecams - he knows how to run a porn site (and get cards to work on it). This split - and it's going to be a split (as they'd be insane to let that much porn money walk) is just to le

I genuinely think it's intentional - Apple want to be stopped. Rather than fighting small battles to defend privacy, just take a hyperbolic extreme and use the backlash to bolster their actual position. (or I geuninely think they have

Obviously as this doesn't align with what I was expecting, I'm going to try to pick holes in it. One thought, as this is facebook derived data and I don't believe they took up my references - maybe a load of people just chose

I think the two can co-exist. There's a lovely Jira plugin (portfolio), that'll project a waterfall/gantt chart out of teams backlog. I can definitely see the benefit of having long term visibility of when big features will b

imho - What makes something agile, is getting a financial buffer applied to budgets, so a developer can spend an extra day building what's needed, rather than what was asked for, with the minimum of management overhead.

I like the idea of technical debt - and think this is overlooked if you think of agile as top-down. Say if dev produce code that technically ticks your boxes, but they think there's an issue/oversight. Ideally you'd pick up t

My take as a PdO is that Agile is great for evolving an existing product. You know where you are, you know where you want to go (what customers are asking for), and you can break the transition into discrete steps. Can sit with the dev team

I'd agree. What seems to be missing is the populist support on both sides. Imagine you're a police officer standing next to a 'bad apple' - you should be put in a situation where helping to prosecute the 'bad apple&

But I disagree - I used to buy Heinz by default, but switched to "Wilkin & Sons Tiptree Tomato Sauce" Heinz is a 'default' - and absence of it used to indicate the replacement was worse. Now - plenty of better option

I believe they could - and they took out quite horrifically large loans to do so. It maybe made sense though, as your payment was your license to work, and selling the medalion on was your retirement plan. Uber screwed this up - but my feel

I can see why countries with f'ed local currencies might embrace BTC (in same way they usually have a parallel USD system). But surely the transaction costs kill any use as a replacement for cash?

My guess as to why it's successful is that it's always been moderately priced and Huy Fong is recognized as the originator of the "Americanized Sriracha" sauces. If a company tries to sell a cheaper version - then it fee
