That’s one way to not do responsible disclosure and give the company a chance to address/fix the issue. I guess clicks on the blog are more important.

That’s a stretch. If we fired everyone every time something like this happened, you would have nobody working in tech. This bug does not result in data leakage/disclosure, nor it put anyone’s business at significant risk. Lesson learne

Wow. I’ve known pg to sometimes make empty statements, but this one takes the cake. Read: guy with immense privilege tells others not to work for others. This doesn’t even begin to account for the risk that comes with startups that some peo

Everyone I talk to in the States also talks about their salaries in gross amounts, not post-tax (same applies for business advertising jobs). Canada in general has much lower income inequality, which is an a-OK trade off for slightly lower

How is that related to immigration?

That is... the opposite of what Canada does? Healthcare there is not uber-funded, but also not necessarily strapped for cash.

If someone is keen on cost-cutting through outsourcing, they already don’t have an incentive to bring someone in and pay benefits. This is a false narrative.

Which... can already be done today?

OK, so where exactly has this NOT worked? Where is this huge number of people that just aren’t adjusted to the “Canadian lifestyle”?

by koluna 6y ago
Mind sharing some numbers? This is a patently false statement. Wages in Canada might be lower, but that is because they get a number of other social benefits, such as healthcare, that gets paid through taxes taken from said wages.

Canada is selective about immigrants (they have a points system), so all the things you call out are accounted for in their model - they bring in those their country needs. And from what I see from down south, they benefit a lot from it.

If you are going to call out “infrastructure to support it”, care to elaborate and maybe throw in some numbers?

The things you are describing are not even close to being the revenue drivers or “reasons for existence” for the companies you listed. As someone who worked at FB, there is nowhere CLOSE to the amount of funding that Oculus gets compared to

And then the consumer/acquired parts become completely derailed/destroyed/super-monetized. This is conjecture, but awfully common.

None of those things were “invented” or truly brought to the edge of technological abilities by the companies you described. They piggyback off of existing invention, and pretty much are interested in keeping things as-is. Your phone manufa

This is all nice, but here is the important part you gotta remember - the more you take dependencies on AWS and its integrations, the harder it will be to actually have any flexibility and say in your own systems design. AWS is interested i

Literally nothing from what you showed is a pleasant customer experience. Overly complex workflow that can be simplified by what GitHub is doing. Think of a beginner developer who wants to learn how to contribute to an open source project.

If Apple is so keen on a great user experience, and that’s why they force everyone through the their own IAP funnel, then they should do the same on Android - after all, it’s not about the profit margin, but ease of use. Clearly it is not.
