> but you need to use buzzwords like these to convince executives. And yet we’re told execs are smarter than the rest of us and deserve to make so much more than we do. Someday I pray the executive class gets its comeuppance.

It's no more victim blaming than being honest about what happens to people who visit Singapore with pot.

It doesn’t get updates, but I’m not overly concerned. It’s running WP10 and security would be a bigger concern if any apps supported it to begin with. I don’t bank on my phone beyond checking my balance with SMS. If I need to actually move

I have a Windows Phone and it’s a decade old. Very outside the norm to still use it, but phones can last a long time from a hardware perspective if they’re allowed too. My 830’s saving grace has been the ease of changing batteries. If the b

This was my immediate thought, it's the beginning of the end. Maybe I'm becoming bitter and cynical, but all I can see are things being ruined after IPOs and the like.

Using RISC OS on an RPI was as close to using a computer for the first time as I've ever gotten again. So many ways of doing things are not bad, but completely alien if you've never done it. It actually gave me an appreciate for h

I've done it before and it's easy assuming you 1) keep track of every screw (egg trays work nicely, and 2) have a lot of patience. Haven't killed one of these machines yet, nor have I ever had "spare parts" after.

They've never made any sense to me, but neither do my country's sentence lengths. Ours seem too light, whereas the US's seem extreme. I guess I'm really not sure what value there is to locking up someone like this for 25

This isn't surprising to anyone who has used an HP printer in the last decade. They're total crap being sold by a company that actively hates its customers. There a better options. Friends don't let friends by HP printers.

It's so hard to tell on HN. A lot here will do anything to defend leadership.

I don’t disagree, all I was doing was reminding people it doesn’t show the whole picture. Things are worse than many think.

I know a site like this can never be accurate, but the non-tech company I work for had a significant reduction in tech workers and isn't on the list. I really think that sound count.

Anyone could have reasonably foreseen interest rate increases from historic lows, but of course company leaders got greedy and now those under them have to suffer for it.

by BizarreByte 3y ago
This is all true, but acknowledging the harms caused to lives by layoffs is unpopular with the bootlicking type that's so prominent on HN. People are right to want to see real, impactful consequences for leaders who "take full res
