"A week" is a terrible estimate for complex things that have components that you can't foresee. If you lose "a day" on some problem outside of your control (compiling starts to fail and it turns out someone checked

I think every owner of a casino knows there is luck involved in their profits, and that the odds are stacked slightly in their favor. I don't think any owner of a business thinks that there is luck involved in creation of their softwar

Upvote to this. As far as your career - salary and promotions and recognition - you can't just sit in a corner and be quiet. People have to recognize that you're good at what you do and it's hard for others to see when you on

He was told (in 2017 and 2019) to completely avoid interacting with her and her content. The notice Fram posted himself was quite clear - don't report her content, don't edit her content, don't interact with her in any way. T

Quite clearly, Fram was told to stay away from a user named LauraHale (in March 2019) - to avoid any interactions with her or her content completely. Essentially, it's a restraining order. So what did he do for him to get a Wikipedia &

Yes, great analogy. Took quite a while for Linus to come to the realization that "I could be better".

The problem when an extremely popular person (in some circles) needs to be held accountable to the rules. Like when OJ was on trial. Or Bill Cosby and Louis CK were found to be creeps. So this Fram gets a few warnings about his behavior cro

Yes, we can praise Ive today for being a pioneer. But in 20 years, he'll perhaps be looked at in a different light.

No surprise there. I was more referring to the fact that colors are available only in certain years. So if you have the "Rose Gold" iPhone, this identifies you as being on the latest release in one year. And also identifies you as

It's a fair criticism of Ive to say he's been responsible for people throwing away perfectly good electronics to get the latest, fashionable model. Changing the design from year to year purely so that people will feel the need t

Trying to use your dominance in one space (search, or browsers, say) to actively steal data from a competitor (scrape Facebook!) with the intention to destroy that competitor is something lawyers have wet dreams about. I mean, Facebook woul

"90 percent of Google+ user sessions are less than five seconds." By most actual metrics, Google+ was a failure. 90% of people went there "accidentally". They were trying to do something useful, travel to somewhere usefu

Facebook is not dead. It may be evil. But to hear someone who liked Google+ call Facebook dead is kinda funny.

And then this person you like and respect starts a political rant, and you just wish they'd keep talking about the thing you are actually interested in... til eventually you unfollow him or her.

Plus Genius has a lot of original content around interpretation of those lyrics. Glad Google doesn't copy that.

Blaming the failure of Google+ on "they had their own cafeteria that we weren't allowed to go to" and "they got bonuses we didn't get" seems really really inside baseball. Shows the problems inside Google, yes.

Sure, they put themselves between users and content, and then they decided they should serve the content too. Amazon discovers the best selling third-party products on it's site, and then makes it's own version of them too. Everyb

You can't "steal" lyrics because the copyright is owned by the record company. Both Genius and Google license the rights I believe. But if Google is not sending traffic to Genius and using Genius as the source for some of it&

Her and her husband lives, cooks, eats and sleeps in a single room of their house. They rent out the rest of the house including the living areas and kitchen. That's some massive sacrifice. That's not luck. That's the willing

It's not that hard. She rents the house she lives in for more than the cost of her mortgage. She makes income from that there. They don't own a car. Her husband gets a free bus pass from work. No housing or transportation expenses

And I'm the opposite. I return the car empty every time, because the cost of "finding a gas station" when you're in a hurry to catch a flight isn't worth the extra $X they charge for the service to fill it. Choices

And as a poster above says, he'd sign up for this for "revenue certainty". Would you rather make $10,000-$20,000, or make $17,000? For some, they'd take the sure $17K over the possibility of making less and losing money
