I'm wondering when the Google brand is going to go down in reputation. It seems to me that the majority still sees them as a badge of engineering excellence and firmly believe that people working there are way above average. I don&#x27

Not working at Evernote, but that definitely sounds like way too close to home. The issue with Product Manager, Marketing managers etc is that those people are usually really good at marketing THEMSELVES and creating a mess of internal poli

I'm convinced that those systems have deliberately be made to push the customer to tip (more) and therefore increase the transaction fee for the payment operator (Square most of the time). Most of the workdays, I go eat lunch at "

the difficulty in a lot of top tier university is usually not the courses but more "getting in".

I looked quickly at some online master offering and you are exactly describing the struggle. Some places seem to charge an enormous amount of money (>40k$) and some other a fairly small amount of money (<5k$). Unrelated to the price,

Wow! So the original story is written on the blog of a company that is creating Chart of clouds architectures (and probably being on the edge)? I'm amazed by how niche that business is! also very nice plug to put your diagrams into the

I thought the same thing. I believe the author intentionally wanted us to believe it was "the edge" based on your definition, but then wanted to make a point that "the edge" is now "the physical edge". Another

I will take the least of two evils. Look at the incentive and core business of the two companies. Cloudflare is not in the business of mining as much data about you as possible. They don't sell ads and don't make money trying to m

For performance and privacy reasons, you should use Cloudflare DNS. Please don't trust blindly Google when they say they don't use your DNS request data. It is their core business model to get their hand on all the data they can.

We are living in a new century of censorship. BigTech companies have become so big, that they are the one deciding what to allow or not allow based on some weird guidelines ("Hate speech" means everything and nothing). It became e

I think he means that stock picking is way more dangerous than a well diversified "safe" Fund like most retirement accounts push you to invest in (with high management fees of course).

Short answer: you are right, the goal is to make the maximum amount of money. I believe that justifying themselves with other reasons allows them to make more money that if they openly said they want to "Make money". Basically, PR

yes. I honestly don't know why this was not done. It sounds like the most obvious thing to do if you know that the burglars are going to come back anyways the next day.

Why did they not park the car back and wait with the police on call in order to catch the thieves that would have come back the next night?

by ironjunkie 8y ago
Exactly. Use the laws supposedly made for poor people, and use them at your advantage (like most of the wealthy do). Also yell and pretend high and clear that you want to help the poor.

This is also because in San Jose// San Francisco, most of the population is a single twenty or thirty something that only need a 1Bedroom. The demand for 1BR is therefore absolutely huge compared to 2+BR

Wow, this is so helpful. As other comments seem to say. I googled quickly around when joining my first startup and this guide would have avoided me some typical first-timer mistakes.

Usually that same % doesn't understand the tech AT ALL. They repeat the same koolaid about "Money not managed centrally by the government"

I said this here before, but this is exactly what is going all over the world whenever "affirmative actions" are used. The only difference is that in this specific case, they decided to use a clear different required test score in

I really don't get it. The biggest appeal of Apple is their wonderful hardware. I dislike MacOS and it has been worse over the last years. It seems to me that a Hackintosh is the worst of both worlds. If you spend that much time hackin

Did you write up or have a link on how you managed to do this ? I'm currently struggling with a similar configuration. I have a XPS 9570 with integrated 15" 4K screen, and an external screen, non4K. This is literally driving me cr

One clear government oppression versus a new "hidden" oppression. In the long term I'm not so sure that your statement will stand.

Mainly anecdotal but it seems to me that it is a common representation worldwide of the French to be arrogant and very proud of their own culture. I'm trying to not make a judgment here, not that I'm saying it is good or bad. Anec

The way I see it, it is mainly Koolaid and a narrative told to the young influenceable techies so they feel invested with a mission, and perform better.

I don't know if I would be proud. It is very easy to be morally outraged for something that everyone in the West already agrees with. At this point it is almost a way to display a morale high ground. I would rather see morale outrage o

Interesting take. There is something to be said about how proud the French are about their culture and language. What would be seen as exaggerated nationalism in other country, seems perfectly acceptable for the French. I'm wondering i

Fully agree with you. I would put it more in the area of 50%, but this is exactly the point I am trying to make. And as a guy, when you start a conversation with another stranger guy, none of this "Looking and feeling creepy" appl

Lots of assumptions in your post. Being a victim here was not claimed at all. The discussion here is related to why people are feeling more lonely. And I believe that the boundaries of socially acceptable man-women interactions (amongst oth
