Almost every country has libel laws. But I think there's legitimate debate whether retelling someone's story is considered libel if you are clear its not a first hand account. Also in the US the website is not considered the pub

It's putty's own fault. They used to (and perhaps still do) have a section on how they don't want your donated domain - they like their current one. From their FAQ: > No, thank you. Even if you can find one (most of them

Back when I was a cashier we all passively resisted asking if they had the store credit card for exactly this reason. Corporate never could get the compliance rates up.

The British libel laws leave some to be desired but they would have solved a situation like this. Publications would not have been able to rebroadcast the accusation with proof.

I know its petty, but that colon in the clock on the main image really bothers me. Its way too chunky compared to the numerals.

I wish I could find the original document. They do spend about 1/8th talking about how it has to be a great experience. But the majority of the document discusses how they aren't a chat app, they had a broader vision of team com

A few months ago slack's early plan was posted here. From day one this was the goal - they knew it was just a chat app so they had to make it feel like something different. Its one of the best marketing coups in recent history and I&#

Alas bulldozer made me a skeptic. I did get in once it was demonstrated to be competitive but the stock price was much higher then.

The computer history museum has done an amazing job of documenting the history of computing. I'd argue they slant heavily to hardware but for the early history that was the coolest part. I wish they'd get BillG to speak.

One final suggestion, if when bringing this up you come off as emotional as you do in your original post it won't be effective. Approach it as just a big misunderstanding. There is nothing wrong with ensuring correct attribution to w

"Visibility" is one of the major drivers of promotion in every organization. They don't know your good if they can't see it. If there are no mitigating circumstances here, like "actually we worked together but I di

You make the old design obsolete and therefore worthless. Combine that with strict trade secret and contractual protections and you are fairly close. But if someone wants to reverse engineer your chip they will.

I moved back after 10 years. While being an immigrant sucks in ways a lot of people don't imagine - its worth it for the initial education and career boost. It will also teach you to "think like an american" which is import

You spend every other day teaching them to be nice to humans, its not surprising they will apply it elsewhere. We don't really want aggressive dogs and so we breed it out of them.

It's not about the size of the audience. It's about how much they pay for apps. iPhone apps consistently sell for higher amounts.

Work may kill us, but I've also seen enough people die shortly after retirement to be a bit suspicious. It really depends on how much your career is a part of your identity.

Windows now tells me my computer is at risk because I refuse to give all my data to OneDrive. Their rationale is I'm at risk for cryptolockers, but the ulterior motive is clear. I had to change a registry key to stop it from installin

That is much more embarrassing than simple thermal throttling of the CPU. The thermal overload on PMIC chips are designed to handle malfunctions not regular usage.

An unpaid claim is only slightly worse than higher premium. Bank management wants to sleep soundly on that pile of money they're holding.

But our eyes are much smaller and better performing. Surely a large sensor is not a fundamental requirement with the exception of depth of field.

"computers" as in traditional PCs are regaining their creator role. Microsoft even calls their windows update "Creator Edition". Phones and tablets are almost pure consumption devices with a few exceptions.

Close to half the baby boomer cohort is 65 or older now. We're not talking about early retirement.

For the high end cars the customer pays up front for service, including oil changes so they never see the direct costs. I'm sure apple would love to have that kind of acceptance of apple care but they haven't come close to achiev

They have not saved nearly enough but it hasn't stopped them from retiring. The number to watch is the "old-age dependency ratio" which has risen to 25/200 from 21 per 100 in 2010. The trend is for this number to increa

You would expect that as the largest cohort in modern history retires en mass that the ratio of people in the work force to those outside would start to shift. I think its valid to say that a lot of baby boomers were discouraged post-2008
