Apple has had decades to show off this innovation and at the end of it the vast majority of their products also end up using USB-C. In fact Apple users find themselves in the ridiculous situation where if they travel with a MacBook and a Ga

Not only is it not true, it’s very likely they’re already doing it. For example, WhatsApp sells itself as fully encrypted, etc. but if you’re in a group chat thars not true anymore. That information is available to WhatsApp and they almost

The EU has been passing great laws which at worst have meant some annoying banners so no, it’s not just bad laws.

BS. “Tech” as described here says no for one reason and one reason only. It will lose them money. Sometimes it will lose money over the short term. Other times over the long run. That’s the only reason “tech” says no. Individuals may say no

I suspect if you weren’t blogging you would be twittering and facebooking a lot more which (a) would also be equally available to those employers, (b) would have less context so your tweets/Facebook posts would have appeared more shitt

The real story is that Scott Walker offered FoxConn a nonsensical deal for a political victory for himself (Trump jumping onto it was a sideshow and irrelevant…the primary work was done by Scott Walker). The deal essentially gave Foxconn fr

Lol being let down by the union? That sounds like the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard based on the article. USPS had a “catastrophical” payroll error and has been unable to resolve it. This is USPS’s job and they haven’t been able to do it

I’m not clear where the article says people are going to starve or die or dehydration.

The only thing breathless seems to be your response to the article. It seems like a pretty straightforward laying out of the facts along with official recommendations and statements.

I cannot watch those Ukrainian videos and I find them distasteful to say the least. But they’re hardly comparable to this. Those are literally videos of men in uniform with guns and battle tanks who are out there to kill the Ukrainians. The

I wonder if there is space for a pure IP company which simply created bike specs that manufacturers can create bikes compatible with, and then advertise themselves as “BikeDesignA” compatible. Something like an ARM of the bike world.

If that’s indeed their strategy, and it appears it is, it’s great for the US since it means there are fewer countries it needs to subsidize by maintaining the strength of the dollar. And the countries that do stick to the USD enjoy an impli

UAE may actually be a decent fit because of the Indian labor it imports. A lot of Dirhams are converted to Rupees as laborers send the money back to India, so this could help reduce costs for the workers, companies and the UAE.

There is so much discourse around the fall of the dollar, but in reality, the reserve status of the dollar is a huge gift from the US to the rest of the world. It’s not free or easy to maintain the stability (and therefore the attractivenes

Doesn’t Kanban split development into chunks of work as well? The only difference between Kanban and scrum that I can see is that Kanban doesn’t insist on a 2 week sprint, although there’s no reason why you can’t adopt a Kanban system with

It may not prove caste discrimination during the hiring process (I’m not sure that’s even claimed by the author). It does however strongly suggest and maybe even prove the existence of caste discrimination at a societal level. Why are the “

And yet 1 out of 180 CS professors are OBCs despite the population being over 40%. It’s probably closer to the welfare queen trope. Yeah, there are a few people who cheat the system, like any other system in the world. Thaw existence of che

Lol and why don’t they qualify? Because of centuries of discrimination that has kept them poorer and less educated. You might be able to argue that there is no discrimination today and that the hiring process itself is not discriminatory, b

Caste is absolutely a huge problem in India as these numbers show. It’s a different question whether it’s a problem in Western companies, especially outside India, and I’m not sure about the data for that. That being said, even this statist

Some cities place an empty unit tax. I’m not sure why that’s more popular in the US. Not rented out a property for 3 months straight? Ok, pay 25% of the rent to the govt then. Property prices will quickly find their market value (and we wil

No, holiday lets are not legit. The world has survived most of its existence without needing holiday lets. Because it has hotels. Hotels that do not take up residential properties and pay appropriate taxes, etc. and prevent overtourism whix

Rent is only higher in the US because the U.S. govt greatly subsidized ownership. As an example, 30 year fixed rate mortgages are only a thing in the US because of govt guarantees.

This is an interesting article. One aspect few might notice is that India is also where the largest group of Zoroastrians/Parsis live. This is relevant because parsis dispose their dead not by burial or cremation but by placing them on

That’s a ridiculous comparison. “just following orders” is very much shorthand for following morally heinous decisions because you were asked to. In that case you disagree and quit. If you’re braver than most people you blow a whistle, etc.

Or maybe it’s not obstructionist people and you just have a difference in opinion. Or you might be wrong. Or you’re the obstructionist person. That’s the whole point of disagree and commit. Most decisions are not clear cut obvious decisions

It may turn out that Ozempic has all these negative side effects that we just don’t know about yet. But irrespective of that, what Ozempic/Wegovy/etc have clearly shown is that this isn’t a moral problem. It’s not a will power pro

Personally, I think SAFE or Agile/Scrum are good starting points. The key part, however, is teams, departments, and companies, then modifying their actual working by eliminating ceremony and process. The way I think Agile/Scrum&#x
