The issue with some suburban companies is that there's wasted travel time that benefits neither the company nor the employee (unless they like traveling I guess). Suburban office workers might easily take 30 minutes or more to get to

I get a free lunch at work every day and some days I take it and eat it by myself. It's not always necessary to be social.

Apple doesn't actually offer free food I believe. It's heavily subsidized, but it's not technically free.

Slightly more weirdly, Google TV does have an Amazon Instant Video app. But non-TV Android does not. Well, Kindle. But non-TV Google-standard Android does not.

If you actually care about the NSA and aren't just being glib, what's stopping them from collecting this data right now?

Poor people take cabs? I think this is only true for a broad definition of "poor". If Uber's proposition is that you can always get a car at some price then this seems like a good way to ensure availability. Not everyone valu

It's not fair now, it's random. Random is not fair. Giving one person out of 100 chemotherapy isn't fair, especially if that person doesn't actually have cancer. Cabs, especially in constrained conditions, are essentiall

I don't know if you read the article properly but this was never an actual feature. They were debug screens that required a third-party app to access. There's no way to access these settings at all from the system UI.

"If the engineering is enough of a limiting factor that 90% of the planned ideas never happen" in other words... If the team is wildly dysfunctional, then bad things are going to happen.

Yes, shipping to Canada from the US via USPS is generally the best option because they'll handle customs clearance. I've had FedEx abandon packages in the oddest places and had to go and pick them up and clear customs for them mys

Good grief. Or you could interpret the numbers as indicating that clicks have grown faster than ad budgets, leading to a dilution in the cost of a click. CPC is a derived metic, not a fundamental. CPC declining isn't necessarily a bad

Well, yes, yay Google+Wikipedia, but at any rate it's not surprising to see English used in ads produced for India and/or Pakistan.

In fairness to the NIMBYs, the factory has grown immensely in the last few years and the "smell" is aerosolized peppers, basically pepper spray. To quote the LA Times: "...the hot sauce’s production facilities are, residents

Thanks you for depressingly pointing out that Elon Musk is the same age as I am. Unlike Elon however, I managed to find women on the Waterloo campus. It's far from difficult.

Every tech company I've ever worked for in Toronto has been acquired by a US company. Quest Software/Dell, Oracle, Microsoft, and the former Novell... the only bad part is that these offices don't always keep hiring post-acqu

Like all great schools what makes the students great is selection bias. Waterloo has a great reputation, so it gets the first pick of the best students. The great graduates give the school a great reputation. Lather, rinse, repeat. (Not tha
