Time zone sensitivity is a very real thing for companies who hire remotely, so I don’t think this is necessarily going to change. Much of the “<current employee> can now work remotely” is likely predicated on the fact that those emplo

I have two of them and they are both excellent. I can see no discernible difference between them and my 5k iMac. They are expensive, though.

"known" dangers is debatable, that's what the issue is. As posted elsewhere in these comments: http://theness.com/neurologicablog/index.php/does-glyphosate...

This. I would be ashamed to have Uber on my resume for much longer after this story ran, and will think twice when interviewing a candidate who does.

They see through it. They just know they have no other option. Educators raise rates because they can, students pay the rates because they have to. It's the same problem we have in healthcare. Until employers start scrutinizing educati

Putting on my devil's advocate hat here. I think you're greatly discrediting the value of the network effect. Just because you build something that you need does not mean that you will be successful. People do that all the time, a

Something like that. It's ridiculous. I could not use 1Password until the App Store came back up, which was pretty inconvenient. Tweetbot also had the same problem and the developer tweeted about the situation: https://twitt

Good. The other day the App Store was down and I couldn't use half of my downloaded apps because they failed "verification". I'll be happy as a clam to see more developers move their apps off of the App Store.
