It looks like he hit some kind of limit from accessing too much/too often. I get linkedin is evil, but I've never run into this issue myself.

Agree with sibling comment, they are great machines if only the screen weren’t so tiny. Ideally I’d be able to do some actual work in a pinch, but it might be hard on that screen. They do have a force touch touchpad though, another reason I

Gotcha. I use a macbook pro for work and it makes it really hard to get used to the washed out colors and lower resolution screen of a lot of PC's and the macbook air, not to mention the touchpad. I'll drop in to the Apple store a

The only thing holding me back from buying one is the low quality/resolution screen. How has that affected your work? Any thoughts to share?

I think the whole point OP is trying to make is that at the moment bandwidth works sort of like gym memberships or even airline tickets - they count on not everyone showing up at once. In the even everyone shows up at once, sort of like in

I think OPs question was exactly asking the question of when these problems do arise, not how large they are when they do. I'd be curious to hear when they do, would be great if you had some real world examples.

I think this post speaks to a lot of the issues I see not just with JIRA, but with enterprise tools in general. Instead of adopting a sound process, customers will take an overly complicated business process and make the tool conform to thi

I agree - there's just always a condescending tone in the way people question the technical practices in hindsight of companies that are successful.

Went to an orthopedic doc for an achy leg/back/knee. Gave me the usual prescription: strengthen some core muscles, physical therapy, anti inflammatory meds for a couple weeks, and should be good to go. Also, however, he prescribed

This is exactly it. People are running a business, not writing an a treatise on code maintenance and hygiene.

One unintended consequence of cramming 3-4x the amount of people into a building designed in the 60s/70s for offices is the influx of traffic. On top of that, parking becomes very problematic. On top of that bathrooms and kitchens are

That was kind of my point. The new designs don't incorporate any new functionality. The designs don't necessarily look outdated, they look out dated to us because we live and breathe that stuff. I'm not speaking in absolutes

The banks had extremely functional websites after years of iteration. Some of those sites had been more or less unchanged since at least the early 2000's. A shining example of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm 99% cer

Side comment, but I saw this on an HN comment about a week or two ago and since then I've seen it front page here, reddit, and other newsfeeds. I wonder which of the following apply: 1) It's always been a popular post and I never

He spoke at my math commencement at cal - good guy, sharp as a tack. Growing up he was one of my idols - leveraged what he learned in school to make money doing something difficult, achieving success and more importantly respect.

I think a lot of us are aware that we're gambling, purely speculating. I have a high tolerance for risk, so I don't mind going in big (big for me) - if it works out great, if not, it's been a helluva ride.

I'm a product manager at a large, trendy technology company. The answer to this question is boring, because it's the same answer that ends up being the answer for most questions in life, generally. The answer is it depends. Someti

I know it's foolish to compare myself to the top 0.01%, but every year it seems like I fall further behind. Athletes used to make tens of millions of dollars. Nowadays some retire with over a billion dollars of lifetime earnings. CEOs

LinkedIn aims to provide an experience like the one you've mentioned. It's been hit or miss and it gives them a little too much leverage, but it's been effective to some degree.

Even if they cared, with modern surveillance do you think the government would ever allow anything other than a peaceful protest? I'm so cynical that any type of revolt, even moderately "violent", would be squashed before it

That's right - the notification itself tells you to get up and walk around for a minute.

Wow, that's like something out of the onion. Someone should create a travel site like Kayak with a lot more details about the airline you're flying - how often they are late, CSAT score (can be bogus, I know), seating room, etc. T
