Not all annoying and inane calls are spam. I also don’t want my doctors office to call me to remind me of a reservation I already got reminded by SMS and email, and would have received a fax if they knew I could receive them. I strongly agr

This is not true for a lot of organizations though.It’s not rare for people to effectively have multiple “bosses” that switch depending on what you’re doing. For instance a product/project manager is effectively a boss to you in that t

It happens, but usually for some decent reason. Some companies for instance have a very stable business and keep a stable stack, but then hit a wall when trying to hire. They'll see average people coming to them, but those are not as e

We are in agreement I think, I see that material differentiation as another way to get over the hurdle of having a smaller device priced high enough to offer a comfortable margin. I'm totally fine with Apple coming up with a set of way

Their reporting of the non repairability seems mostly factual and drama free to me, in what way is it ridiculous or disproportionate ? Also I think it would dishonest to just ignore or brush off these kind of issues for products that we se

It's interesting how it clashes in technical circles, where a lot of things are very much black or white, and there a culture of terseness and going to the point. The place I worked had that smooth and human focused vibe for the HR and

I switched to DDG about two years ago. A bunch of results (20%? 30%?) are not very good, and it's not an exception. Also I know it's suppose to come down the line, but not having a filter for results of the past year is a PITA. In

Except music distributors are removing the musicians’ past tracks out of their catalog. It’s always been this way, but it gets weirder as time goes. In comparison Usual Suspects is still on sale on iTunes.
