Is there any other way to call it? 'Race to the bottom' sounds so crass. Perhaps 'delivering better customer value by focusing on essential factors while reducing extraneous costs?' I raced to the bottom once and I found really weird stuff there...
I would start speculating on the luddite aspect (or on anything else) as soon, as the information is confirmed by a source more serious than an article dated April 1. I have checked local French language media (La Presse, Le Devoir and Radio-Canada) and found nothing.
No, this is not about 'feeding families', this is about simple and personal justice. You are simply unjust without thinking twice about it. The H1B visa holders were hired when majority of Americans were too busy trying to make a killing on real estate to get proper education. Thus, hardly anybody minded back then. Now, several years later you and your likes demand that a company (BTW: yes, I used to be a foreign manager working in the USA on L1-A visa; evidently they do outsource management) in difficult times lays off people without any regard to their performance. Why-oh-why would you require me to let go good guys with H1B? This is the good specialists that help me make my living, not the slackers.
Quite obviously, it must exist. The lack of evidence simply means it is an invisible tail, well hidden from the eyes of the unsuspecting public. Probably some sort of conspiracy of the short-tailed...
Philosophy is indispensible to all science. Even though calling computing a science is a tad of a stretch, the need for philosophy still applies. Perhaps even more so.
Frankly, I'd rather see Microsoft in that position
But of course. I can't quite imagine Ballmer with a white cat on his lap, anyway. Besides, it is just me who is destined for the true world dominance...
What is wrong, exactly, with hypocrysy? It is the homage that vice pays to virtue. Besides, being hypocrytical certainly beats being openly racist and paranoidal.
...but the original poster appears to be a nut, and a highly militant one at that. Here is a free piece of advice: calling committee members (which actually bothered to show up) corrupt while a voting process is ongoing only polarizes situation and only makes any consensus more distant. I don't know what is the political culture in Poland. Maybe offending opponents is a part of it. But then (based on my valuable advice) Mr Musieluk can just start a new, and better, culture right here. A counter-culture, if you will. All one needs to do is to convince these members opposing the new standard (he writes there is a strong opposition) simply to show up and vote 'no'. This should do the trick, right?
That is a very good point. They say that 90% of all e-mail is SPAM. Probably 90% of the rest shouldn't have been sent either. BTW: feel free o remove this message.
Instead, Google should use something akin MENSA tests. This would deter the bots and make the customers feel really good about themselves. And this feeling, my friend, can't be bought cheaply.
Not really. Source code is most of the time absolutely useless in that context. Most of any code base deals with the mundane. Thus, even though a program is a representation of human thought, much of this thought is trite or fallacious in one way or another. Its poor readibility (regretfully, the concept of literate programming never really took root) further confounds the situation.
Blazing your way through is costly and takes your eyes off the prize. This is in clear oposition to the wonderfull invention of a textbook or a scientific paper, where the author took it unto himself to present things in proper context, with necessary background information and in a linear sequence.
This should give you a proper outlook on what is important in life. If you still have some time left over, I suggest you learn a foreign language of your choice. Better even - learn two. Or maybe read some philosophy. There is more to being a good carpenter then knowing how to hold a plane.
I can't be sure of that, but I have an impression you somehow suggest these researchers blame youtube. It isn't so - or at least TFA doesn't say anything of the sort. Rather, they simply state the facts.
My interpretation of these facts is that the general public is uneducated, panicky and superstitious. And, more importantly, it has been like that all along. It was just that superstition and dubious reasoning never had a forum that powerful. And now, it is all for everybody to see and appreciate. The famous(?) SF author Lem is reputed to say: before the Internet, I had no idea how many idiots were out there.

The Star is a joke every day of the year. Why April 1 should be any different?
Well, 'social media' IS downtime. So either way, the users get what they are coming for.

I suppose it is only reasonable. Now all these Poles who already work there will have much a much shorter commute. Good for them.

Can't see why. The guy clearly hit the iPhone demographics. This app simply belongs there...

...they will kill all adults.
Well, if you can't compare companies sales numbers (in relation to to costs, obviously), what do you compare? Quants of accumulated karma?

Or perhaps give simple science questions. Later, more amusing results can be published as a book, to the amusement of generations.

Someone mod this dude up as 'funny'. Yessir, these days even nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
... but (quoting Bender of Futurama) the X in the middle makes eXtortion sound so cool. He just couldn't resist!
