Ugh. You realize there are like 3 people who are still working there who were around when this was really a thing? Yes, Satya was hired in 1992, but he didn't grow up in that culture nor did any of the other current leadership. Most pe

I recently left Microsoft for a startup, but spent about 4 years there on several teams. From my experience nobody really hates anyone. The tech industry is still a fairly small community. Most everybody has friends who work at all the comp

Things are different around here. Teams are expected to deliver great products on their own, not rely on some artificial lock-in to force adoption. You see this all over - we offer Linux on Azure, you can federate AD with Google Apps, we r

Yeah that verification sucks, but for some reason (fraud, etc, etc) we require it. One thing to note is the number doesn't actually have to be yours. If you can get anyone to recieve a text and give you the code you are good. If you st

Sharepoint 2013 and SharePoint in Office 365 already work well in other browsers. I am using Office 365 in Chrome right now. About the only thing I can think of that doesn't work is to launch document synchronization with OneDrive, but

Which phone were you using? I don't think this is actually on purpose, but I just tried it on my iPhone and did find that it was inconsistent and difficult to paste a password. I am going to send some emails and see if we can figure ou

I feel like your hypothetical boss in this hypothetical situation is not very organized as he didn't think about the weekly metrics spreadsheet until 7pm the night before it is due. It might be time to change hypothetical teams.

I understand this is for a good cause, but isn't this just stealing money from Amazon? You are exploiting a program that is designed to encourage additional sales, not give money away from any random Amazon transaction.

Maybe his 'dead man's switch' is just his lawyers. Doesn't solve the problems, but it sounds a lot more likely than some of the ideas being discussed here.

It isn't Ford and GM fighting this, it is the dealers. I actually doubt that GM and Ford care much about protecting the dealers. My guess is, or should I say hope, that GM and Ford executives are looking at Tesla and thinking about how they

Same thing in Bellevue, WA. I would argue though that it isn't about malls with Apple stores, but rather it is about Malls with high-income shoppers of which both Apple and Tesla want to be in.

I think he was saying that if somebody were to pay him that much, he would do the work for a while. I don't think he necessarily makes that much (at least not consistently). There are very few professions that pay that level of salary. A fe

I wonder what would happen if the situation were reversed. What if a machine was found to have been paying out less money on winnings than the stated rules. My guess is this would be a non-issue or at worse the casino would face a small fin

This seems like it is going to cause issues with corporate networks. We use http://search for our internal search portal. My guess is many other companies do the same. Obviously, the local urls will resolve first, but what happens when br
