Yes, nobody uses email anymore. That's why 99% of websites have an email signup blocker for discounts, or a newsletter, or just for the heck of it. But they do want that email address.

Here's a funny thing: as of two days after this post was created, pairing hasn't been mentioned once in the entire thread. If this thread is any indication, maybe it's developers who have an incomplete understanding of DevO

And that ambiguity is an economy: the rich slackers are seen as smart by association with the achievements of (past) students admitted by merit, and the rabble students acquire aristocratic social cache by the same token. I'm not an ec

Subtract the bare assertions and questions and your argument boils down to "it is $current_year, and Microsoft has been good lately." Which, I think you might agree, doesn't contain a lot to convince someone who remembers the

Ha ha, now we're back to secret incantations like when AdBlock first came out! You'd tell your friends and family, "Oh, you gotta get it!" for something whose "discoverability" is very, very low.

Expanding the network (more routes, right?) achieves improvements, yes, Adding capacity to existing lanes, though? Continued congestion.

Yes, demonstrably and provably. Count the number of pageload indicators (spinners, throbbers...whatever you like to call them) in your daily browsing. They are everywhere... now . AJAX (and, I suspect, the shadown DOM model) have proliferat

I have a theory that it's extroverted people who are the most eager to go back in. ;)

A BIG chunk of all that drama is due to the US social safety net not including childcare. That's the thing disturbing thing about these stories: employees are turned against each other when it's a) the company; and b) your tax dol

And that strategy still doesn't account for word of mouth.

I don't know how true that is. Of the ones we hear from/about, how many were acting discriminatory 25 years ago? I think we'd have heard from one or two at least, writing confessional blogs or tweetstorms or whatever, but I c

All you have to do is look to history for the movements and societies that have put "efficiency" on a pedestal to gauge the value and practicality. There was a major one in the 20th century. It did not go well.

It says they use site speed in ranking, and, well, I'm sure it would come as no surprise if Google's (largely) having served a page/site increases the speed just enough.

A lot of people who would have a problem with it are also convinced they have no power to affect its existence, so you never hear from them.

It's starting to sound like this "mobilization" process is the marquee project pushing this, if Google is still a "nothing gets done that won't result in a promotion" shop, which is another stereotype the compa

That would be a feature, so it needs to provide some kind of benefit to someone's career in order to be implemented. This is only for launching the feature, and maintenance is still unlikely.

"Trying to be nice?" I don't think that captures the subtleties of reinforcing a stereotype. Google has a well-earned reputation here and it should be acknowledged, not ignored or dismissed.

Well I don't think FB is so fungible as a market participant that they can be excused via relative privation[1]. They have close proximity to the lives of a lot of people, and the content that appears on their pages plays a prominent r

One month was always going to be too little. FB can ride it all out, and if I take a step back I wonder if they can be moved with financial attacks at all. I feel the greatest weaknesses they have, and which they can't defend against,

It's not difficult, it's the exact same kind of decision they decline to make with regard to advertising. These days that refusal lives mostly in political and health messaging, but we can see that they don't refuse in a lot
