A company I worked for did worse than stack system: This company has many buses. And it started to measure every movement of the bus maintenance team (with the help of a consultancy). How long does it take to remove the engine? 1 hour. And

Censorship is not about free speech. It's about political warfare. In my country, 85% of the press is from the left. if a leftist comedian makes a joke, nothing happens. If a right-wing comedian makes the same joke, he could be sued. T

Some people miss the old user interfaces. Windows 95, XP, 2000 etc. What is the reason? We had some programs with a horrible interface (Real Player, for example), but never with this level of stupidity. It's more of a joke than an inte

I don't know Tim, but 4HWW, nutritional products and other things about him make me believe he is a scammer. Maybe that kind of fame attracts the worst kinds of fans. Yes, fame like everything else in life is not only positive, but gan

In the past, some people said that Microsoft had the "windows tax" for new projects. If a project maybe got in the way of Windows, it died quickly. Does Google have the Google search tax?

At one of my jobs I worked on change for the sake of change... there was no real meaning to the change, just the boss wanted change. I don't have a good theory about it, but it's now very common. Apple, facebook, to it all the tim

That's it, perfect. Perhaps the most important thing is to keep the user on the platform, avoiding his departure as much as possible. Thus, a "unique" interface helps with this.

I've been in development for 24 years and now I have issues with some very strange UIs. Where do I click to post? Old UIs are consistent. Buttons are buttons, labels are labels, and so on. New UIs are inconsistent. In the facebook inte

I don't understand this kind of rant. Google's revenue comes from ads. Google will place ads on all products wherever possible. If Google doesn't put it up, the shareholders will ask to put it up. Oh, the article has too many

Two homicides, she could be half open at 14 (but she didn't want to), 7 years for each homicide, NOT 20. What is your point?

Is not only 6 (i never say "only"), but is not rare 6 years. X years in prison in Brazil is bullshit. At 1/3 of x or 1/2 or .., the prisoner is free. Suzane von Richthofen cruelly killed her father and mother. She is 39

Homicides in Brazil lead to 6 years in prison. The system doesn't work, but we have these gems like "if inmates read books...", the cherry on top of shit.

It is difficult to have confidence in companies. In recent job changes, I did something different: I started at a new company before quitting my previous job. In the old 8 hours, in the new 4 hours a day. Both companies know this. It is, fo
