Yes you are missing a lot. But you aren't alone. Everyone else is too. This is becoming a characteristic feature of the internet. There is huge information asymmetry at play here that just cannot be communicated through the media, soci

Its constructive but not enough. Tech CEO's have to address the outsourcing/factory shutdowns and visa misuse that has happened for a couple decades now. Using the Obama line of "well those jobs have gone and wont come back&q

The "hack Google" through web inspector reminds me of an experience I had a while back. The plan was to teach kids about how websites works/HTTP basics, basic HTML/JS etc. I had all the material and code ready. When I re

It serves another purpose usually. Anyone else planning to leave and poach people will have to do "a little more covering their bases". It really comes down to what top level leaders within the org think the longterm payoff is.

Makes sense. Even in areas where they do match up tech-wise Auto, Nokia, Airbus/Ariane etc maybe they need a Elon Musk type to do some ass kicking.

They are making a case against Google's narrative about teams. Which makes sense. Most orgs don't resemble Google at all.

EU porn tech does beat US porn tech in many metrics. I have always wondered why, when the rest of their tech sector is way behind.

sigh...there is justification. Which doesn't mean your friend and his content were treated shabbily. If this was allowed, and Donald Trump is putting up his documents on the internet and referencing them on his wikipedia page would you

References are the basis of all material on Wikipedia. It's the only way to deal with bias at a global level. Your friend might be a decent person but there are lots of Commissioners of Public Works that aren't and have agendas th

Trump is going to be making news every couple hours. I foresee a lot of over worked and burnt out mods by the end of 4 years.

I would have agreed with this view a decade ago but I don't today. I believe the internet can't be used to educate people. It's very similar to sending a kid into a gigantic library. They will be able to tell you all kinds of

True about Trump having the experience with a large org and what it takes to run it, but its going to take him a while to learn the DC org chart being an outsider and thats going to be his biggest weakness in getting anything done. EDIT: to

The problem with Radiology is 1. If a tumor is incorrectly identified (and it happens a lot) no one realizes it until much later. In many cases the radiologist never knows what the outcome of the detection was. The patient could have been u

The guy was unqualified for the job. Just think about what it takes to be sitting on top of the massive hierarchy that is the govt. If there is an issue X you need to know who to talk to, who to trust, who has power and influence to make th

Agree. While we are making recommendations about what people with issues should be doing with themselves, let me add, on the other end of the spectrum - overconfident, mindlessly ambitious characters in society, should be sent off to explor

Please note the second word of this summary is "often". If you want to know why its "often" and not "always" visit your nearest library and take a look at the size of books on the subject. And here lies the pro

Yes it would. I doubt too badly though. How often is actual mail getting misidentified as spam? Plus the quality of political expression imho on these platforms has gotten so low in terms of signal to noise that I don't think it would

We have managed to keep spam out of inboxes haven't we? When is the last time you saw something slip through? There is 10 years of training data out there, which should cover everything most politicians and journalists are ever capable

I say kick the politicians and media off twitter. Both have more to gain than loose by pandering to the lowest common denominator, and that's what they do consciously and subconsciously the whole day.

My prediction, based on the fact that POTUS has a mind of a 7 year old kid, is a tantrum will be thrown. The adults in the room will pacify it with some superficial meaningless action/distraction and the cycle will repeat for 4 years.

It's a well known fact that fuckerburg is a cylon and needs the 700 acres to build a fleet to go looking for kobol. The sooner he jumps out of the solar system the better for humanity. So my appeal to everyone is to please just give hi
