Simply select 2000 18 year olds and give them BI for life. That isn't all that expensive even in worst case and would actually show if BI could work.

I always wondered if the art galleries in my high tax country were used for money laundering. It seems pretty obvious: Individual A buys a piece of art for, lets says $10,000. A couple of years goes by, and the individual puts it up for sal

I know many like me, who also just prefers the application language to be in English. From decades of using English I have no idea what many terms are in my native language, native terms are much harder to google, and many applications are

I build Danish self service web applications, and from my perspective I would always want to control that date formats fits the displayed language. Why must it then be in Danish? Because we would rather optimize for Danish users who for som

Not only that - judging from used car websites in Denmark around the time, quite a few people seemed to have bought Teslas with expectation that they could sell them at a higher price after the tax increase. If I remember correctly it was i

Business folks: So instead of new features we have sold to customers we have to spend X weeks on this feature which was working perfectly fine?

I have been the victim of this tactic, and yes it is terrible. But it's also completely understandable. It's an extremely easy way for a company with deep pockets to bury a smaller company. When you understand why someone does som

It seems far more likely that the universe is a computer game rather than a simulation. A simulation implies that it tries to simulate everything accurately - if it's a computer game, we can expect that the creators cheated in multiple

But why wouldn't the callcenter approach work? That's where I see many other industries going. Cut the workers, use a callcenter instead through telepresence. Even if it's only 95% selfdriving, that's massive savings com

IANAL either, but from experience everything that can be seen as shady is very dangerous if it comes to a court case. It makes you look like the bad guy, and can easily be used by a good lawyer to remove focus from what should really matter

And as I have learned the very hard way, a judge can just decide it doesn't matter and the appeals court probably won't care. Please don't ever rely on how it's supposed to be - always, always put in clarifying statement

It probably takes many different forms, but the ones I know about go something like this: 1) Government identifies some area that needs focus, usually so they can say they're doing something. 2) A fund is created with whatever the gove

The time dilation was really quite fascinating. However, I assume that the entire planet would not behave as if it had the same time dilation all the time? Considering the massive dilation (1 hour -> 7 years, a factor of 1 : 61320), woul

It was 7 years from XP to Vista - and 9 years to Windows 7. Now it has just been 5 years since Windows 7 and apparently it's already completely outdated. It's only 2 years since Windows 8.0, and it's already out! If this is t

Ah, don't know how I missed that. Thanks. Crazy that it's limited to 8.1, and not even working on 8.0. I really wonder if there is a valid technical reason, or they just use it to push upgrades.

This is really one of my big frustrations with Microsoft. On one hand, they really try to push everybody to upgrade to their newest and shiniest, by making a lot of stuff (like this) only available on Windows 8+. On the other hand, they don

I think that your "What am I wrong about?" approach is going too far in the opposite direction. I usually use "That shouldn't be possible" - whether it is possible or if it's user error then often depends on the maturity of the system. On a

Basic types are optionally nullable. int? is nullable, int is not. It is a fantastic tool in many cases where a null is much clearer than something like -1 to denote a missing value. However, I can see the issue with some developers using n

Linus knows that and says so as well. But that's okay, because that works. Starting down that very same path again without a huge reason to do so would be very painful for any mature product.

Everything in life is a trade-off. And the 30 x 1 years quote nicely illustrates why you should always strive to learn new things. However, if you already know how to do something well in one particular stack, then you should just stick wit

I really doubt anybody would accept that. The solution in many cases are simply to reboot the servers every night. Sure, we would all love to fix the bugs, but if there are no easy clues and a regular reboot fixes it - who really cares when

My take is that the two are different simple because Apple matters and Facebook does not :) If you have a product or service and want an additional presence on iOS it is to provide a better service to your customers and thereby increasing y

And if all Apple wants is to have shiny games for their platform it is the perfect strategy. We have an online platform that resells content which is how we make our living. Low margins means that we would take a loss on everything we sold

It's a fair point, but I think that has mainly to do with the developers Microsoft are targeting. Buying new hardware every two years costs next to nothing compared to the salary of developers almost anywhere in the world.

Could you give some examples of why Microsoft's stack is so bad and which ones are better? I often see these things thrown around but very seldomly with any good examples. We use Visual Studio + .NET + MSSql/SqlAzure and from time to time I
