ZTE apparently paid bonuses to 30+ people even though that were involved in some kind of violation. I bet Wells Fargo well also pay the CEO and the board very handsomely.

Sorry for off topic but it is a difficult topic and goes beyond Wikipedia. I read on hacker news the complaints that many (even peer reviewed) studies are never reproduced because there is no incentive to reproduce/verify someone else

If one person owns all the land, they (or someone they authorize) can boot anyone unwelcome. This makes life much simpler because you can sidestep a lot of issues and focus on what this really is: a pilot project.

That's scary of that's what is required of a ceo. You would either need to be an oracle and predict where the industry will go or you'd need to make the industry go the direction you're taking the company.

In my opinion, you don't even need Marx for this. Even Jeff Bezos reportedly said "your margin is my opportunity". So if some product is expensive without being scarce, it is probably being "protected" by likely une

This is interesting. I don't have a routine of what I eat for breakfast. I just improvise every morning (: do people usually eat the same thing every morning?

We could still work from home and have time where we meet our coworkers? I read somewhere that gitlab is trying out something like this. I'd love to learn wrist they conclude from this experience.

Don't forget the English who recently promised Scotland so many things before the referendum and conveniently forgot them once they eeked out a narrow victory. Democracy isn't just about going out to vote. Easy to say but I feel l

Sorry but nobody is for small government. Nobody is for a balanced budget. It is a farce. We all have two piles: a. Things we want the government to do b. Things we don't If you're for a balanced budget, you'll oppose current

I was one of the people who went ape over uac. It wasn't that uac showed up too much. It is that the devices were not capable of it. I think I've been vindicated by the subsequent lawsuit which revealed the vista capable vs vista

I still have great respect for the Simpsons. I think future American TV history will have a special place for the Simpsons.

I think the point is that most of us believe we are better than average at salary negotiation and that is not true. I won't hide my bias. I abhor wall street journal and articles like these don't do any favors. However, articles l

No, push back against insane requirements. Why do we want to style input? Bill them for a custom solution if they want a custom solution.

With fedora and gnome, I don't even dnf upgrade anymore. When I turn of the computer, I just check "install updates" which is unchecked by default. This is how updates should work.

$50? Nice find. I have come in possession of a t42 with a cracked display. I've set it up so I can ssh into it but it seems not worth the hassle because 1GB RAM and core2duo (afaik) processor. What is your setup and use case if you don

Thank you. This should be the link in the title. Better still, we should reassess https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13434938 and ban direct links to pay walled sites.

While fines can help ethical people make the case that they should do the right thing, I am afraid it isn't enough. What I'm talking about isn't the actual data leak but rather what equifax did or did not do before and after

Not an expert by any means but to me the biggest change is no more Python 2. > Django 2.0 supports Python 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6. We highly recommend and only officially support the latest release of each series. People should not write new c
