This is weird-ass reasoning. The argument says "since the companies would need to build production lines, they would not innovate". That is such a naive and simplistic outlook that I had to look at the bias of the author. Why not

But the answer to "why" is always gobbledygook. We try to answer how there is something instead of nothing. I do not think anyone can answer why it is flooding in Florida now. Many can answer the how, multiple levels deep. 'W

Yes, the vendors have smartphones. The smartphones' speakers are not loud enough to announce over the road noise and general buzz in Indian shops. It would also be too distracting to keep looking down on the phone.

Grace and empathy only go so long. You cannot be tolerant of the intolerant over and over again. There needs to be some amount of reciprocity.

It is interesting that so many states are tagged blue when I would have tagged them red or purple at most. According to Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_state_le... ) there are 19 democrati

Cowpats are what poor people used as fuel. It was a common practice in India till about 20 years ago. Mix cow dung with hay, make it flat, dry it and you can use it as fuel. I am sure it is not India specific thing. The same cowpat is also

Can we add 2015 to the title? It was presented then.

You are purposely conflating two points - how does the leader gets selected (when we call someone alpha) and whether there is a leader. You are also assuming that alpha gets the most. Further, how humans are organized changes massively acro

Should we just call it as promise betrayal then? There was a promise made during the elections that there would be no new drilling permits.

Is the website a play on insane asylum for audiophiles?

Sorry.. just saw this comment. It is not secretly as opposed to it might be planned at a director level.. but when it comes to actual engineers, it would not be necessarily efficient use of engineer's time. There is also lot of communi

But that is not true either. SVB could not find enough people to give loans which is why it was all parked in long term treasuries.

Are you reading a different news than I am? I am not aware of SVB providing excessive interest rate for anyone. The bank burned because they took a duration risk, but I do not think any depositor got any freebie. Unless you are counting on

Staying one year or five years is not important. It is important that you feel part of the team and valued. If I read between the lines, you sound stressed (for whatever reason). You might have been reading too much into the firing/lay

>I learned that compile/run/fix loop is a crutch Why is this a crutch and not an optimal way to do things? At a higher level, this is TDD (maybe with test cases in your mind). Why is that a wrong thing? You are ascribing knowle

If the goal of the picture is to view it on a phone screen or print it on a brochure in small size, I am 100% there with you. If you want to make a print of the picture, then it makes a difference. The photo from iPhone lacks the details th

I would just say no good outcomes in this story. If you really meant "no good guys", care to expand why you think so?

Why not give the benefit of doubt that his awards are a result of his work? Unless you are his manager, your comment reeks of asshole-ry.

It feels like the head of HR is asking elon for confirmation rather than having the information. In a well run company, you have institutional knowledge. In a dictatorship, all institutions are the dictator.

Yes.. I mean at Amazon. The WBR (when I was there) was held on Monday at the director level, Tuesday at the VP and Wednesday at the S-team. The following is purely my opinion: The constant churn of employees and directors at the lower level

Not a direct rebuttal.. but there are several things that need to come together for this to work. 1. The leadership team should trust each other's data. Over a period of time, that has not been true. 2. The group reviewing the data de

Is it just word play here - "We do not have production quotas, only performance expectations"? What is the difference?

I read through the article and it has no information. While I am in complete solidarity with the workers and think the workers should come before the shareholders, this article is just leveraging the disaster to reiterate the old talking po

I have heard similar arguments from pseudo-medical practitioners and I am going to assume you are not trolling. There are huge logical gaps in your statement. 1/ Being alive is a constant fight against diseases, aging and myriad other

You cannot take a cab or something else? This seems similar to the digital piracy issue. It is inconvenient, so I decided to do something illegal. Otoh, I have seen Seattle bus drivers wave off the fare in some cases.
