I loved many of their individual courses at the beginning but now everything is just bundled into their nanodegree programs. While Udacity helped kick-start many similar online self-learning business models, but ultimately I believe they fa

Many voting machines being used still have USB ports wide open. It's absolutely horrifying! I also don't like the new design of Macbook in which they merged the USB port and charging port into one. This really opens up huge securi

The only effective way, that I know of, to prevent someone to build a profile on you is by throwing a lot of useless data to confuse them. Blocking their access is not effective because they have multiple ways to get to you, especially when

My point is if you are trying to prevent someone to build a profile on you entirely then VPN is useless. For majority of the public who use a VPN provider, they are essentially shifting all the risks of their personal privacy from a highly

If you use Chrome browser or Android phone then Google is already able to build a profile on you. They have multiple ways to ID every session and individual browsing tab to link them back to your profile. VPN is completely irrelevant in the

You are literally the one that are trying very hard to hold onto the technicality of my wordings, and twisted it such a way to fit in your interpretation and criticism of my comment, while I have already given you more than enough explanati

When I mentioned of "emotional intelligence", I was referring to Mackenzie Bezos, for her willingness to compromise because she clearly understood how important Jeff's shares and voting rights were to Amazon. Not everyone cou

This depends on each person's viewpoint and their perspective in life. A family with children may have a husband being the main source of income while his housewife stays at home to look after their children and property. Just because

In normal circumstances which applied to most public population, a 50/50 split of shares is fair. But Jeff Bezos doesn't belong to a normally distributed population, his is an outlier case statistically, with Amazon being an extre

I always believe in 50/50 but i think she did the right things here because Jeff Bezos = Amazon. There comes a point in which having more money just does not make any slightest difference.

Before social media came along, nobody really put much effort or invested into data mining. Yes Google existed but it was more or less serving as an information aggregator only, without the ability to connect the dots and identify individua

Facebook's basic concept is not bad. It's precisely their business model relying on advertising as the main source for revenue that is causing all sorts of interest conflicts. Due to the nature of this business model, Facebook no

This would create an unprecedented case, all future lawsuits will reference back to this one in attempting to hold more CEOs accountable. Never going to happen!

I would love to take a peak into the meeting where they formulated this idea. With all the shit being fired at Facebook from all directions these days, I just want to see the faces and reactions of those who thought "Yep, that's a

There's no denying that Google of today is no longer the same as Google of the past, however the values their services provide to society are still enormous and far greater than most other corporations out there. We have learned that F

Companies that strive to improve their effectiveness can develop a methodology to apply this principle from top to bottom. A good manager will identify the optimal point for each of his team members. This optimal point will serve as a targe

This is indeed called managing expectation. There are various strategies one can "manage" their boss in return so that their expectation always remains at an optimal level, allowing them to easily satisfy their boss or even exceed

There's a general misconception between being productive and being effective. One can fill their days by completing many mindless tasks and consider themselves as productive, but in the end hardly any of those tasks really matters. On

I love Google for the service values they provide, but if this were to come from another company then I might have believed it was in fact an error. Privacy has always been an important factor when people consider any Google products, and t

Seriously can any company in this world even sustain a 20% monthly growth rate? That seems like an impossible target to achieve and set you up for failure right from the beginning. I have come across Gumroad a number of times as a customer

Agree. The Infosec field is a rabbit hole. It's a cat and mouse game. As long as it's run by human, everything is bound to be hacked eventually.

Great article! This explains the reason why Google started receiving so much shit since last year. Typically you would see them appearing gradually but for anyone who live on the internet, I'm sure they noticed the sudden sharp increas
