That could be a feature or a bug I suppose.

Betty predates Chaka and Bernadette (and Chaka admits to influence from Betty), and Mavis was considerably prudish compared to the stage antics of Betty. Betty's gravity on Miles alone would be enough to guarantee her iconic status, bu

The fact that Apple can't/won't explain this practice is strange, but on surface seems not dissimilar to a former (maybe current) practice of Boalt Law (a US top 10 school) which does not publish graduate rankings (e.g. &quot

I still stick to the FT, occasional Economist, and then a bunch of specialized academic stuff. Forbes and Fortune were interesting in the 80s (in many ways they epitomized the 80s) but declined rapidly from there. By the dot com bubble the

Depends on interpretation: one infers possible security embarrassment (or exposure of a secret), the other potentially total incompetence at failure to ID/notice/contain (or otherwise manage). Depending on which members of the Po

It's also a testament to how "endless growth" has become an unquestioned, but ever more stupid 'goal'. If you can innovate at a certain scale, stay successful within x standard deviations year over year, paying divi

Yes, they're fairly deleveraged here, and I'm surprised they did not coordinate responses better from a PR standpoint. Just amateur-hour clumsy.

Given this last quarter earnings tanked partially because they were no longer gaining new users, maybe that kind of posturing is going to fall flat.

I had marginal performance degradation, but that may be due to the specific techniques I use it for, but there definitely was a change southward, just not anywhere nearly as poor as I'm hearing from others. Inkscape is still very usabl

Spent 3 years under a PE group, and the "management by spreadsheet" was very real, and utterly corrosive. The constant squeeze meant eventually everyone started to realize the only people who were going to make any real money&#x2

I just wrote about this (really briefly) on LinkedIn a week or so ago, because I've seen a growing trend towards "management by spreadsheet" and I think its an enormous error in terms of team leadership/management. Much

As someone who has led (mostly) remote teams for years, 1:1s are essential, but can't be made cookie cutter. I use a fairly spartan template for the structure of them to start, and let them evolve as different people have different nee

The PMs were beholden to execs. At one point I interviewed for a PM role there, and realized they couldn't afford me to suffer that level of chaos. DA leadership was either bunkered in R&D projects, or glibly shifting gears every o

Good memories indeed. Which user were you? I've had an account the last 20 years, so... They never close accounts unless the user directly chooses to delete it, or they get perma-banned.

That language aspect aside (it's difficult enough to wrap around), the abject and consistent failure around contextual cues is abysmal. Sarcasm, deflection and other aspects of talking patterns in relationships (e.g. I have a good frie

I played for years after it was 'out of vogue' but I too haven't touched it in decades. I played the sequel also, and it was good, but was just shy of the potential it could have been. Part of me really wants to install this

There are very few languages without depth of tradition, either/and oral or written. And your premise is predicated on "the best future" being an objective standard that all people seek, which is by and large, not the case.

This is not surprising at all, as a nation that is second only to China for its density of CCTV surveillance in public places would hate that anyone have the capacity to elude constant monitoring/"oversight".
