I'm not going to waste my time reading anything from this garbage publication. After "The Big Hack" I realized that life was too short to read articles by sources that just make stuff up. If you want to waste your time, be my

It's Bloomberg reporting so they probably got it completely backwards, or made it up, or misunderstood what was told to them. Not saying they're right or wrong, i'm saying Bloomberg is a very unreliable news source, especiall

Do you equate the Chinese to nazis? Because that's insane and totally fear-mongering, especially if you think China is evil but other countries would use scientific research for only rainbows and puppies.

Their results are that standing desks help with back problems, but don't provide cardiovascular exercise - yea, not shit. This is exactly what everyone thought, so I have no idea why this click-baity article exists. Standing desks don&

This is incredible, but seems more time consuming than studying. Cheers to you!

Yea I found this a very weird thing to say, as engineering talent was a huge reason for choosing New York, and is a resource that New jersey does not have in anywhere near the same abundance. I am curious where they would've chosen had

This article represents the core issue of "technology vs. luddites" in our current society, which is that technological change, no matter whether it's positive, negative, or neutral, is almost always decried by whatever group

You nailed it, though I'm happy he wrote the piece at all despite it being a secret "mea culpa" piece.

"Viner had lost a reported $1.50 on a bet" - that's truly insane to do this over less than the price of a king-sized Snickers bar.

Frontend programmers are very, very undervalued, I 100% agree. This is because they build the things that your user interacts directly with, where the "rubber meets the road", so to speak. Good FE coders are worth their weight in

That's more than a lot of startup accelerators give, so I think the answer is that it potentially lets a company get it's footing long enough to experience growth and self-sustain. This is a Y-Combinator affiliated website, after

Now this is interesting. This would be a little like an accelerator "spray and pray" model, where economically you would only need a small percentage of those companies to become large job creators and tax payers for this to work

You're right, I should just ignore it. But i find it very frustrating to see anti-tech articles that wax on for thousands of words about the dangers of XYZ, but lack in solutions. This one, for example, gives a solution that it itself

I didn't see Bezos pointing a gun at anyone's head to force their city to bid. This is 100% on them, if they thought it would be a waste of money, they could've opted to spend nothing. "Running roughshod all over our des

The attempt at redesigning the web ends in unreadable nonsense, so I think that answers the question of "why" with "readability"?

I wish this were true, but in technology (my field) one year can make you fairly outdated and unprepared to perform strong interviews. And in some tech industries such as frontend web development, one year is practically a lifetime.

I hate it when corded headphones get caught in door handles and yank out of your ears, it's such an uncomfortable feeling. Also, i've never heard anyone admit to smirking before.

Yes, I think it lacks an understanding of human nature to think that a manager wouldn't give someone bad reviews just because they don't like them. Though, I bet a lot of times managers do this unconsciously, especially as one ten

Why didn't the adventurer mention that they were blocked? I feel like this is on them, though it would have been preferable if the task-creator had known the key was required. But, if I say I'm going to do something, and then don&

Well, if you're Apple/Amazon you have the SEC and your shareholders ready to ruin your life if you say anything that could even be interpreted as a lie. So, in this hypothetical you may not want to, but you will definitely feel fo

Omg this is true, I thought you were being hyperbolic. This is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard in journalism, https://www.businessinsider.com/bloomberg-reporters-compensa...

I'm curious too. This seems like a sides thing, and of course a lot of people are anti-tech these days. But, to side with the publisher of garbage tech journalism just because you don't like tech seems a little counter-productive.
