I don’t know if the assertions are true in practice, because I’ve only worked in the US and not Europe, and have never held a tenured position or had a union, but the logic described seemed straightforward enough: if it’s difficult to fire

I realize meritocracy is more an aspiration than a reality, but the frequency of these disastrous cases of tone-deaf CEO messaging really give the impression that the inversion is most common.

I both love this and am horrified. It looks like it'd turn a Pro Max into a 9 inch tall phone. Since it's a case, you'd need a new one each phone upgrade. (I used to do this with the Apple battery cases, until I came to my se

Joe is really pushing the David and Goliath narrative. He’s just another billionaire who is not actually betting the company. And the violated patent claims themselves look silly: opaque material with chamfered edges, three or more LEDS ins

Just today I was looking for an extension just to block Quora from search results. (Talk about a useless site that seems to uselessly outrank Wikipedia on google lately — what on earth is Google up to?) I’m thankful I saw your and your pare

If you’re going to search for phone numbers you’ll want to ensure you enable verbatim searching under tools on Google, and put the number in quotes, perhaps in “xxx-xxx-xxxx” OR “(xxx) xxx-xxxx” forms. Many of the sites you mention are fake

In content and fact you seem to be in agreement with the post you're replying to, but in tone you act as though you're refuting them.

Tesla has attempted to insulate itself from blame by requiring drivers to take full responsibility for autonomous acts of the vehicle under their supervision. (Perhaps also by having autonomous modes disengage before impending collisions —

Yes, they’re always vague. Maybe I should have omitted it so as not to confuse. To be clearer, the cited claims are the issue.

Maybe? The two violated patent claims are "a protrusion comprising opaque material configured to substantially prevent light piping" and "one or more chamfered edges" of the protrusion, on a patent titled “User-worn devi

“Unlimited fines” sound mind-bendingly excessive — risk of financial singularity. I’d opt for the merciful two years.

This looked to me like a useless sed substitution. But, apparently, typing "{S /con/con" in an AOL chat blue-screened Windows participants that had their AOL sounds turned on. http://mazur-archives.s3.amazonaw

Is that really a thing? Do Android users en mass want an additional app specifically to chat with iPhone users? There are so many alternative messaging apps that work fantastically. iPhone users aren’t really clamoring for a Google RCS app.

If Apple was previously more accommodating to law enforcement requests than legally required to be, then surely they can update their internal response threshold to reflect minimum necessary compliance.

Apple reacts predictably to an embarrassing hack of their proprietary protocol (that they presumed and intended to be private) and a for profit product built on that hack. This is pretty much what any company would do, in the past, in the p
