The Yahoo share price has increased substantially since she has been there (almost 3x from a quick glance) – nobody can reinvent Yahoo at this stage, if she was hired to satisfy investors then the majority of them are surely pleased.

Compare wages, living conditions, and working conditions. Intentional hyperbole: being forced into wage slavery in order to afford basic food and clean drinking water is a little different than taking a driverless car to the Googleplex on a

My personal comparison is: If a postal worker opens your mail is that okay? If your window is open but your curtains are closed, is it okay for someone to stand outside your house and open them? Humans protect their privacy with mostly path

Article similarities aside, those might be two of the worst websites to quote as sources, the Daily Mail is banned from being cited on Wikipedia as it's not a reputable source; and the Independent is no longer producing what many peopl

Good design is as little design as possible. I bought a Bravia, it doesn't connect to the Internet and it doesn't have a camera or microphone aimed at me, it performs quite well at being a television.

Speaking from experience of a year or so on Sertraline (Zoloft in the US?) – I lost 28lb whilst on Sertraline and quickly (and sadly) gained it back when I stopped using the medication.

I can answer, I had a breakup in February that I'm still not over, I've been in CBT which isn't working as it's supposed to, and now I would do just about anything to have some respite from thinking about her, initially

I've just finished watching the "Men Against Fire" episode, due to feedback, to me; it's still the weakest of the bunch, but probably because it seems the most implausible, every episode of Black Mirror previously has ma

Absolutely, I thought the same thing – it was the longest of the episodes, and although you see that text message at the end, it's still open-ended – it might be the first episode that could be revisited at some point?

I might try it again, it got to the point where they were visiting the man that was a sympathiser and I switched off. It felt a bit like Starship Troopers (that isn't bad I suppose) but I just wasn't captivated at the time.

Sorry to comment again, but you mentioned "six home runs in a row" – there's also a Christmas special called "White Christmas" – if you haven't seen it already, is also one of the better episodes, starring the

To me, the third episode (Shut up and dance) is the outstanding episode, at the end I was mentally exhausted and incredibly saddened. San Junipero is different, without ruining things, it's the only episode where at the end, I wasn

4chan is viable as an anonymous and ephemeral p2p implementation, 4chan has always suffered from the cost of running the service, which is kept to a minimum (relative to say, reddit) due to the lack of persistence. It can thrive with a peer

8 x $125K would be $1M, not the $2M that is currently being spent on employees. Edit: Missed the first part of that, I apologise. 100% overhead doesn't seem reasonable per employee to me though.

I'd like to see it broken down further by staff, it would be interesting to see the responsibilities of the "Executive Director" and weigh up the salary difference between that and the median salary of the rest of the team.

I'm always of the opinion that these tests are not necessarily to find someone that can solve the puzzle, it's to find those that can solve it and aren't egotistical enough to brag that they solved it online.
