Now if they include a way to block modal subscribe-to-our-bullshit-newsletter pop-ups, it would be the world's most perfect browser.

That’s just shitty leadership. Happens A LOT even without MBAs.

Yes, exactly my point. Thank you.

The problems that MBAs are trying to solve are not those at which your average engineer is particularly good. Also, these problems are usually ill defined and not easily testable. On top of that, to "deploy" your solution you need

While I agree with your point, I don't agree with the idea, that the engineers there are some Dickensian exploited workers struggling to feed their starving family. Those are white collar middle class employees mostly.

Nowhere in the article has the author claimed that. :/

The geniuses at HBR never claimed in the article that it applies to chips. The article says that increase in chip performance lead to a prevalent strategy in business (mainly tech) to be the first.

So? He is still attaching emotional value to a technology. You could say the same thing with "machine learning doesn't handle change robustly". Same meaning, different emotion.

Doctorow is a smart guy, which is why the weasel words he uses seems disingenuous. For example "machine learning is fundamentally conservative, and it hates change". Mate, it doesn't hate anything. It's math.

Also, aren't facial recognition algos trained on broadly available data sets and NOT on the bunch of developers who are working on it? A sample of on average five people seems to be a dumb way to train facial recognition - whether dive

Boy, our eyes sure are racist for using light reflection. Also, obviously the difference between the dynamic range of cameras and our eyes play a major part in technical difficulties in multi-racial facial recognition as well?

I’d think it’s the same reasoning why ISPs aren’t held accountable for piracy.

I understand being annoyed by religious symbols, but "it's almost as offensive as a swastika"... that's just immensely callous. Especially from a Jewish perspective.

Aren't you describing exactly the problems types help with? Must be a reason why typed backend developers allegedly don't pay so much mind to: - "proper" naming conventions - JSDOC comments - unit tests - peer review

Obviously, this is a conspiracy by big solar to inflate their stock prices and to defraud innocent petrochemical execs from their hard earned bonuses!!! Wake up sheeple! /s

Mate, what good is a monarchy if the monarch doesn't have any power? It's just a monarchy in name. Following your logic, North Korea is a democracy, because it has the word "democratic" in its official name. This is a cr

You peddling horsesh*t is unhelpful. Your fluid goal posts don’t help either. Obviously any U.K. style “monarchies” and republics with a figurehead. Your best bet therefore would be Middle East monarchies, which are obviously a product of t

They demonstrably do not. Look at any competitiveness index, or standard of living index, or anything measurable. The article you’ve linked is banal. It talks about how monarchies are good at protecting established property rights. Duuuuuh.

His views are all just hand wavey fascism. At no point does he make a tractable argument. As a counterpoint: take all countries today that have functioning (i.e. non-figurehead) monarchies and compare them with democratic, capitalist countr
