To judge it like this you need to compare. To compare, you need to measure the attributes of the this and the compared entity. The alternative entity compared in this case is the Existing Financial System that is handled by the Fed, Wall St

HR department rarely has any discretion. They are the mouth piece of the management. They just put it in nicer words and polished corp speak.

If I like the sheer horse power of a BMW, would it be snark to contrast it with some other car's priorities over leather seats? There are plenty of cars (programming languages) with varied priorities. Identifying and labelling them is

If their motive were genuinely connectivity, as they advertised it, they can still do it. #EqualRating is allowed, so are charitable initiatives such as Free Data to everyone. But what do they really want? The next billion internet users ho

If I am a startup, I should request Facebook and Google to consider my portal as a basic service and allow millions to use it for free and they know of all my traffic all the time. That's not the internet I know and wouldn't serve

Would Facebook exist today, if there were a gatekeeper (AOL, Google, Yahoo?) that needed to approve it as a "Basic service", that had exclusive access to a billion users? This Anti-competitive practice is as notorious as the ones

Many people often try to optimise for the world view of themselves, rather than their own experience. Instead, when one starts to optimise for ones own experience, the idea of falling short of expectations doesn't arise. Life is lived
