You act as if disregarding the self-report component is minor, but surely it is fundamental. The original theory is that bullying is a way for someone with low self-esteem to make themselves feel superior. By the definition of the theory, a

I have been receiving spam calls recently despite being on the national do not call register. Thanks to google, I wasn aware of this resource until today. There is no defense against Google's actions here other than to acknowledge tha

Why is the price BS? It doesn't seem to inhibit sales.

Apple has such a system. It's called 2FA. The fact you don't know that doesn't do much for the credibility of your position.

So this whole line of argument simply boils down to wanting a 64GB iPhone to be $100 cheaper? (edit: downvote by all means, but I don't see any other logic at work here - anyone feel like explaining?)

You seem to be forgetting that if you want more storage you are free to choose a larger model. There are a range of customers for whom the built in apps, plus a few big names like Facebook and Uber, and maybe google maps, are more than adeq

I don't dispute that it is in Google's interest to reduce click-fraud, but it is also in their interest to reduce the appearance of click-fraud too!

I wonder what Google's internal research shows. Are they themselves not committing fraud by failing to publicize this to their customers?

You say 'treating their employees well enough that they don't leave' but that ignores the fact that a small number of employees will be able to blackmail the company for millions with the IP they have access to, while regular

You clearly haven't understood that event. There was no security breach of Apple's systems. Specific celebrities were targeted and their personal information was stolen and used to unlock their iCloud accounts. You have mistak

False - Apple has no significant history when it comes to security breaches.

I know people who have been essentially cured of otherwise intractable PTSD through the use of psychedelics. Would you prefer them to have suffered for the rest of their lives? All medicine carries risk, and it is through research that we l

Firstly it's not 'in decline' it has just reached saturation. 'Plunging' is just false. Secondly, the slowing of iPad sales has absolutely zero to do with any open systems.

Why do you need a straw man to justify your point?

Which means that you are also saying that the court system is not based on evidence.

by gress 12y ago
They are based on evidence, but that evidence has not been scientifically evaluated.

What makes you think it would? Refactoring is generally a precursor to new features being added. If you don't know what is to be added then refactoring is usually counterproductive. I agree that certain teams might need to slow down

You said nothing about whether he assumed disproportionate amounts of credit, but you didn't have to because that is a given since it was stated by the original poster. Now you are trying to discredit that part of the description by

Nope - you have quoted out of context, deliberately ignoring: "He was a bit of a douche, mostly by shirking low-visibility projects and getting disproportionate amounts of credit ..."

Neither of us are making judgements about an actual named person here. We are talking about an example that was given. This stance of 'I refuse to believe the worst in someone based on anecdote' is disingenuous. That example inclu

Android doesn't dominate the market for apps, in either app revenue or download numbers. The market domination of android is actually the domination of many separate markets.

Sure, but assuming he is such a person, you are implying that this minimal understanding of the software life cycle is better for engineers at his company than integrity and a desire to see engineers justly rewarded for their efforts. I dou

Does he? It sounds like he avoided responsibility for anything that might have carried risk, and only picked easy wins with good visibility in order to make himself look good.
444.
by gress 12y ago
The skills he has are all about receiving a disproportionate amount of credit for work accomplished by a team. How will the company profit from this?

Contrary to this, as they experience more instances of the fixed cadence, they will have more opportunity to measure their capacity and adjust the scope accordingly. What needs to 'give' is over-promising. And the best way to ach

This is a great comment - while many people are complaining about Apple adding too many features and introducing bugs, you are asking for more features. This is exactly the dilemma Apple faces and is the reason that simplistic answers lik

The analysis is interesting, but what leads the author to believe that the top charts 'should' be stable, other than innuendo to spice up the story? It seems eminently reasonable for there to be an algorithmic shake up every once
