There's few things that are more mind boggling to me than a very rigid interpretation/implementation of agile.

I'll take that manager over one that has 20 years of experience but hasn't touched a line of code for the last 10.

Indeed. Or when I'm particularly hungry, I need to work alone. That part actually might make sense; people (me) get hangry.

Also, the article is not claiming she's right, nor am I. All of what you're saying might be true, except for 1 thing: who isn’t speaking in good faith I have absolutely no reason to assume this is true. She could be transphobic

The biggest problem with JK Rowling is nobody asked her. Nobody ever asked her what her opinion was of trans people. I was not aware that you need an invitation to express your opinion on Twitter. She literally, out of nowhere, started b

No, only from the European versions of Google. Google is actually sued by the French government because they feel that searches for French citizens should be censored based on the EU law on Google worldwide. Which to a certain extend makes

I have a competing hypothesis. It seems to me that a lot of people writing the vacancies have too big of an ego to acknowledge the fact that someone without work experience can do the job they've been doing for years (and maybe still a

> their concerns seem to be driven by "fear of the unknown" more than anything else It seems that their concerns are always dismissed based on the current state of the art, which is short sighted to say the least.

I think the AI concerns have been summarised below in this thread: A) We're striving to make strong AI. B) It seems plausible that as computing and AI research continues, we'll get to strong AI eventually given that brains are &qu

I think it's quite strange that when respected and rational people like Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking warn against dangers of AI, some people still dismiss it as irrational FUD. Did you consider they might have a point?

This is absolutely the best strategy in my opinion. If they would sell the company 1 month after you leave, you'd still have almost the same percentage as they would, which is fair. If they'd stick around for another 16 month and

Depending on the category of the merchant, the network charges an interchange fee, the cost of which is split between the issuing bank (which takes most of the cut), the card association, and the acquiring bank. This isn't entirely c

One circumstance is when you put your sim card in a different phone. The new phone recognises that you already have a WhatsApp account, as it's tied to your phone number, but it doesn't have your private key, so it will generate a

Well, the allegation is that they were faking their growth numbers, or planning to. If this is true, than I doubt this was aborted after firing the guy.

This is a good summary. If grabbing a shirt and a pair of pants that somewhat go together requires too much brainpower to do on a daily basis, maybe you don't have much to begin with. I especially like this part: Eat the same few meal

How on earth does this make sense? It's not Facebook that messes with your system, it's your system that messes with their product. If you would actually pay for their product you might be able to make the argument that you should

PayPal is basically a pass-through wallet, meaning most people don't actually hold funds in their wallet but get they transactions funded one-on-one by a different source. For PayPal this is usually a credit card or direct debit from a

I have quite some personal experience with PayPal, and their policies seem quite random. If one person gets it into his or her head that something is not allowed, no voice of reason will change the decision. I wouldn't shed too much te
