Black Friday has become Cyber Monday as well. Everyone has a phone, nobody is waiting to log on to their PC at work to do some online shopping. The holiday season on the whole is a much better indicator, not just one single day. And even th

Maybe, outside the nursing homes that racked up tons of excess deaths due to Andrew Cuomo's policies and later cover-ups. But at hospitals? I'm sure you can point out a few specific times and locations but on the whole, they simpl

Terrible take. Of course they want middle-income customers, that's a big part of why they raised prices, because they thought middle-income would absorb them. And they arent entirely wrong - those drive-thru lines are still miles long

That's like asking "why would one car crash that lasted a few seconds change your driving habits for years?" - or perhaps your entire outlook on life, the consequences of not appreciating the things around you in the moment,

Real people, citizen journalists documented empty hospitals and ERs with no activity while the mass media tried to sell you on "morgue trucks" lol. Trump got that whole ship sent to NYC and they never used it.

Most people are not a "hospitalized older adult". Yet they treated everyone, regardless of age, gender, health as if they were on death's door. The lock downs were absolutely overkill and went on far, far too long.

Yea, well once Skylar moved to California his fate was to go chase her. You could call that movie logic, you wouldn't be wrong, but it's a lot better ending than "hey guys I got a job at <boston based tech co>, now let&

True, however this speech finally comes in the last 15 minutes of the film, in response to Will saying something profoundly stupid, that he'd rather stick around and work construction than actually use his enormous talent. It's al

Not implementing any solution and blaming it on "only so many developer hours available" is the problem I'm responding to. I'm not "prioritizing" anything. The scenario we're discussing is when an intern

Lol, define "proper". If they were so knowledgeable, why hadn't they implemented something before the intern arrived?

Think of the management structure which arranges, and is satisfied with, tedious, repetitive, manual paper-pushing processes - such that an INTERN can immediately see the efficiency benefits that would come with automation, and doesn't

Imagine taking a shit on a technology platform which made it easy for interns with zero experience to successfully automate key aspects of business processes! Love the assumption "when it inevitably goes wrong." In real life, ma

I dont mean to question you personally, after all this is the internet, but comments like yours do make the reader think, if he has 5x'ed his coding, was he any good to begin with? I guess what I'm saying is, without knowing your

I think the explanation is less about greed and more that ad-supported programming is almost always the only viable economic model. Cable worked brilliantly because everybody paid for a full range of channels, sure YOU only watched about 8

What is the economic incentive for Google and Apple not to do this? They've convinced much of the public that it's a necessary feature (moreso than SiriumXM, for example, which also starts free then costs a lot), and better than

Because it is mostly ridiculous? Will they require you to demonstrate "running through walls"? Show evidence on your phone of when you quadruple-texted someone? They declare their mission: "Make viral content" - and they

Isn't the job post a joke? The idea was to communicate - to companies looking for an advertising/PR firm - that the owner and existing employees work super-hard and don't take weekends off. Clearly they are exaggerating but a

I think this may be the dilemma GM and others are in. Given that it's a must-have, how much can Google and Apple charge the manufacturers for a license? $2000 per car? 5000? More? I dont think you can necessarily criticize GM's de

This is a little tricky. I think it's more about understanding the philosophy. Lets say you make washing machines. The "academic" will say, great, for next year's model, let's fix the most common failure point and i

I disagree that competition among fellow high-achievers is the primary obstacle. Maybe, very early on, when you're in a class of investment banking recruits or first-year law associates, etc. But that gets sorted out in the first few y

It doesnt take an MBA to figure out that selling stuff, or facilitating the sale of stuff, has value. The techies are the ones who built it, the whole "MBA" idea is a coping mechanism to deflect from your own (assuming you're
