I guess this is sarcasm... but anyway, this is so wrong. Yes, the common idea is that (in good-old companies) managers are older, hence more experimented, hence they tend to mentor juniors who definitely need that.. right ?
But it is far from being so simple. Some managers aren't that experienced, and in highly technical jobs, this hierarchy is counter-productive. Highly skilled people should stick to what they're the most efficient at : doing the real work that will make the company product so much better than the competition. Some company fail to understand that and move people "up" to their maximum level of inefficiency which is a very bad idea. That's basically why silicon valley company are doing so well compared to old traditional ones.
At this point, there can still be a need for guidance for juniors from the most experienced ones, but those may be their colleagues, not necessary their manager.
Actually, typing "Out-of-sight, out-of-mind" (with dashes) gave a better Japanese translation, but the translation back was still : "Invisible, do not worry" which is clearly not that great:-)
The Uber app may seem like a trivial app to make, but it isn't. Some taxi companies (or even country-wide) try to make their own, but they have to outsource the development to a company that won't make a great app, nor support it correctly, nor develop new features. So they'll always be 5 years behind Uber and Lyft.
Also, Uber is worldwide, so you don't have to install a specific local app (which you don't ever know the name) to get a taxi.
But in fact, taxis can as well use the Uber app. So why don't they use it ? Because there is a Taxi / Uber war and taxi drivers are not the best to have a long term vision in technology.
Finally, even if taxis did use the Uber app, in places where Taxi numbers are regulated (and usually way too low because Taxi companies have been lobbying to keep their monopolistic marker), you would see that... there is no taxi coming in less than an hour. So Uber also works because it allows for more taxis.
I think people who don't understand why Uber is so good live in countries where Taxis are not too bad (I've seen a lot of taxis in South Korea for example, they are cheap and everyone use them). In countries where regulations are important, the balance shifted in favor of Taxis too much and the customer service dropped (because, why bother, people don't have the choice anyway). And that's backfiring at them today, pretty harshly.
Absolutely. Warn me when they have One Piece at least, available on the same-day as in Japan. You want to make people pay for it ? At least propose something better than what fansubs do for free.
RTFA, that's a headline madness. He is not suing for 3.8 Billion, he is suing for up to $14,600 per employee, per the law. Times 61000 employees, that's 3.8 billion total distributed among the employees. Makes perfect sense.
Sorry, but I totally agree with the original post. The title is "Ubuntu 0day world of hurt". The reality is "Ubuntu12.04, no privilege escalation". That is not a serious issue, and even the author acknowledges it, so please hush big boy.
The main users of ubuntu 12.04 are mostly servers (so not likely to be affected) and the EOL is near anyway.
The EU actually prevented the music industry from doing that in France, stating that having an internet access is a basic need. The hadopi law was therefore half dead on arrival.
I'm actually happy to see people learn from their errors. I would trust him much more than anyone else. He recognized what he did, he recognized his error. He knows he'll have no other chance now.
On the other hand, I'm sad to see every other guy call for resignation every time someone makes a mistake. It is actually the opposite : someone who did a mistake and suffered from it will never make it again. So that guy is now better and smarter... why should he resign ?
What a terrible argument. If your code is so good, just open-source it and stop using the "everybody uses it so it's good" fallacy. Everybody uses windows.
Well, I guess you only need to fool the dumbest people...
I'm surprised to read that. Are you sure it is OVH ? I would expect many providers to suck at understanding such problems, but OVH tends to be on the very competent side, so if that is true, I would wait for OVH version of the problem before drawing a conclusion on who's wrong.
Right. Let's reduce every problem to a single number so that everyone can have the impression to understand it. Then go vote for a president based on that.
This is indeed a good solution, though it may have to be weighted depending on the area, otherwise Silicon Valley will get all the H1-Bs.
But yes, those three Indian IT companies are the one abusing the system, and it is their fault if H1-Bs are so hard to get. They prevent other companies from legitimately bringing foreign talents by flooding the system.
So of course they're fearing it won't work long, and I hope it will be the case. I don't really trust Trump to do this smartly, but if at least they can fix the H1-B system, that would be an interesting achievement.
You can doubt Russian/Hong kong intents, but the German story seem to be pretty legitimate and you can't blame them if they want to know how much the NSA spied on them.
Now, if you call Snowden a traitor because it will reveal the truth about the NSA spying activities on their partners for business intelligence, that's your call.

Seems huge to me when I drive by. Easy to spot from a plane too. But I can't compare to Pentagon or DoD.
Maybe wait for the walls to be removed ...
Yeah, true innovation like AI only happens on windows too. Oh, wait ...

That's the application's fault for not migrating to HTML5 and sticking to Java. Seriously, Java ?
Had the same reaction. "There is no tablet market, just an ipad market" ... in which world do they live ?
I know a couple of person who have an Apple watch ... they all work for Apple.
So maybe it is working well in some places of the world, but I'd be interested in knowing which ones.
If you read the original comment, it was "Now I can lose even more data when a single disk crashes", in which case RAID is a perfectly valid answer.
Read and stop your nonsense.

It depends if you stole $1 million from a crook or from many people who didn't have much money in the first place.
If you want to make the punishment fair, at least make it proportional to that actual harm done to people. Money means nothing.
+1. This guy is not important, not objective and is saying yet another "our technology will revolutionize the world". Come on.
Wait for people describing their next technology as "The fifth industrial revolution". Because you know, the fourth is so much 2010.
Uh uh uh ... a not-so-terrible joke for a terrible headline :-)
Uh uh uh ... at least a terrible headline made a not-so-terrible joke :-)
And Facebook steal the videos and don't even give back to creators. Both suck, which is a real shame given the quality of the content on YT.

Good one. More seriously, this one is the real thing :

Let's hope the same happens in the US.
