Come on. You can be pro union and also recognize that many unions have had extremely poor, corrupt, self-serving leadership and that changing them isn't trivial. Eg look at what happened to the hilariously corrupt UAW when Fain got i

I've done the same (funded and bootstrapped), and most of the conversation about this choice is just stupid. Engineers cost easily $200k. If you need much functionality before you earn significant money, you simply can't bootstra

This will destroy their company, so they can't. The deal is publishers (including stackoverflow, reddit, etc etc) let Google scrape their pages because they send traffic. That's the trade. If the trade, instead, is google scrapes

Yes. For a long time, chrome has had significantly better memory use. I really tried firefox again 2 or 3 years ago. If you have to keep jira open all day for work, it was unusable. Regardless, your comment illustrates why Baker should ha

I suspect a ceo could have asked for a pay package of massive bonuses correlated with marketshare. My understanding is the board has pretty wide discretion to set pay, and following years of steep marketshare losses, who would question suc

At the time of reading, there's a banner on the site reading "CLAIM YOUR EXCLUSIVE OFFER * Join for $99/mo (normally $149) * Ends Friday" Sales tactics like this are literally the last thing I want from my doctor.

I promise you there is a significant percentage of people that would fumble enrollment; you handwaved away a giant problem (multiple enrollment, not present); and many people would put them all on the same keychain. In the politest way poss

It has nothing to do with cost. Using a yubikey says, specifically, that if I lose this little device and the bypass codes, that I have presumably stored on encrypted storage in a way that doesn't require the yubikey to access, then I

Employees care about their pay is so reductive as to be meaningless. Any action any employee takes can be labelled as such.

They didn't consult. They made open source go lobby them to avoid having to block the EU. That's the exact opposite of asking open source, in advance of legislation, what would happen if they did X.

No. They should have started by competently and carefully thinking through the consequences of the liabilities they were about to impose on open source, rather than obligating open source to expend limited resources explaining the obvious c

The issue that needs to be added, but might get my github account banned, is failing to fire Mitchell Baker. She's overseen a disastrous plummet in marketshare and a deliberate move in strategy away from firefox -- ff was not mentioned

If you spent $500/day/toilet cleaning a conventional toilet that costs $30k, it would take you 3400 days to break even. And you could have that conventional toilet installed in under a month.

I'm not sure why you attribute that as a shield against the market. That seemed much more like an open employee revolt. And I can't think of a governance structure that is going to stop 90% of your employees from saying, for exa

It's probably better to just install an MDM. This lets you do ongoing reporting re: is disk encryption active, how long is the timeout for screen locking, etc. And to remote lock the device.

Nonsense, or surely you'll be able to list these costs that add up to, let's say, over 50% of a salary or $30k plus.

That's not an apt comparison. Lots of people and companies use identical chips. Only boeing uses boeing airplane bodies.

I just get hung up on being an airplane company that doesn't manufacture the plane. How is that possibly not a core competency for the design and manufacture of airplanes?
