Guy 2 sold more of his time and compromised his health and personal life by working 50+ hour weeks. He probably also made more mistakes than guy 1 because he wasn't well rested. Nobody got screwed out of comp but their manager who valu

The full name is still printed on most of our banknotes (alongside Bank of China and Standard Chartered who issue a smaller number of notes). I think it's just the parent company who deleted the original meaning.

Wouldn't a preface achieve a similar outcome without changing the original work? The conversation about things having changed is valuable as it demonstrates how society is progressing.

It really depends on where you move. I would never move to suburban America, for example, because of what you mentioned. But if you're young(ish) and/or don't have too many family commitments it's pretty easy to find a h

If Firefox is backdoored, as per GP's hypothetical situation, your data can be sent to a sync server other than the one you configured. The only realistic way to stop it would be to only use a specific audited version of FF. If that&#x

I have a feeling that increases in foreign investors also discouraged companies from issuing dividends. For example, I pay 0% capital gains tax but have to pay the US government (where I have never stepped foot) 30% on dividends.

A few years ago everyone was saying that low code tools and "citizen development" will destroy the industry. The reality was that they just allowed more small players to increase their efficiency / productivity. We're st

I use 5G home broadband because I live in an old building with rusty DOCSIS 2 cables (and also because there was a risk of being sent to quarantine camp in recent years). I get a very stable 200mbit connection and can ping Google with 5-7ms

Teams creates knowledge siloes which is worse than Slack. Every company I have used ends up with people creating various "Teams" and channels under them, then everyone just creates group chats all the time because it's easier

That was what Flattr's goal was but we don't hear so much about them anymore. BAT also has a similar business model but it's crypto-based and requires use of the Brave browser.
