  1. Re:What's the value of glassdoor anyways? on How Companies Secretly Boost Their Glassdoor Ratings (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    If a company offers you a job with title X you can look on Glassdoor to see what people using that same title are getting from that same company.

  2. Re:Futile... on How Companies Secretly Boost Their Glassdoor Ratings (wsj.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It also helps to look at reviews "in the middle". Sometimes the 1 star reviews are just people with some grudge because they got fired, or people who are overly critical and don't know that the world isn't perfect. This goes for Amazon reviews too. Some of the 1 star reviews are from people who received a box with torn packaging, or got the package later than they expected to, and give a 1 star to the product itself. Completely dumb.

  3. Entire display unit on MacBook Pro Stage Light Fault: Apple's Design Turns $6 Fix Into a $600 Nightmare (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The article says the problem is the cables, but due to the design the entire display unit needs to be thrown in a landfill and replaced with a new one. Yet I always see tech companies talk about being "green", but they have moved away from designs that minimize waste. And I don't buy that "our parts are recycled" garbage. It all just gets sent to China where a "recycler" dumps it somewhere.

  5. Re:Autonomous bikes and scooters??? on Uber is Exploring Autonomous Bikes and Scooters (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't know. Pretty much everything I have heard from the "autonomous" people is ridiculous. It is like they aren't seeing reality. Reality is that autonomous navigation is very hard, and might be impossible to do. What we have now is basically lane assist and braking/following assist, which is great, but not enough.

    I'll save them a bunch of money: this will never work. But that won't stop them from trying it and then giving up after spending millions.

    We also put people in jail for stealing. Legalize it!

  8. That would explain why this is on Forbes.com. Invest now in Deezer! It is the next Tesla...

  9. The woosh was in HiFi and since he wasn't a Deezer HiFi user he couldn't hear it.

  10. "for example users of Deezer HiFi have increased by 71% in the past 12 months alone"

    Thats pretty impressive. Pretty soon everyone will be using Deezer HiFi.

    Really. What effect has the government shutdown had on YOU? I'll wait. But somehow this is the crises of the century...

  13. Re:Overblown on Shutdown Hits Industries Nationwide (wsj.com) · · Score: 0

    OK, so if the shutdown lasts A FULL YEAR it impacts NEARLY 1% of revenue? Yeah, major crises here. That is your example? You are grasping at straws here, and your logic of how it impacts profits more than revenue is nonsensical. They better figure this out soon, otherwise Delta might make only $4.999B this year instead of $5B.

  15. Re:Screw the TSA, save everyone else. on Shutdown Hits Industries Nationwide (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but the whole "show your ID" thing was even before the TSA. It was just a scam to keep people from transferring tickets. Now everyone wants to "see your ID" when checking into hotels or even entering buildings.

  16. Re:Screw the TSA, save everyone else. on Shutdown Hits Industries Nationwide (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Strict ID checks also make re-sale of tickets more difficult, thus protect airlines' revenue stream from change fees.

    Exactly. A complete scam. This whole "show your ID" thing is ridiculous.

    But..but...companies are having problems "opening up the IPO market" and Delta lost 0.06% of their revenue. My heart goes out.

    Well it is odd to put the "single datum" in the summary when it represents 0.06% of revenue impact. Were there better examples? Apparently not.

    "Delta Air Lines Inc Chief Executive Ed Bastian, for instance, said the shutdown would cost his airline $25 million in lost revenue from government travel"

    Delta had over $41 BILLION in revenue last year. I get it that everyone hates Trump, but this whole thing is wildly overblown.

    Probably. It really doesn't matter if you can act if you are that good looking.

  24. Why did they call a language "Rust"? Did they think that was descriptive, or cute, or what? Is it an acronym? I understand things like "Swift" and "Go", but "Rust"doesn't make any sense.
