Klingt so als wäre es vor allem ein Mix aus sehr einfachen Visaregeln, vielen offenen Stellen und dass es schon gut etabliert ist.

Lets see if they can improve power efficiency on the M3 Macbooks

At this point they should just consider disconnecting the UK from the wider internet

I was using the N900 when it came out and at that point Android was in no way superior to whatever Nokia was doing. Their main misstep was choosing Windows Phone and shipping the N9 as a dead-on-arrival product. Nonetheless the UX was pretty ahead of its time and we could have had a real Qt based Linux phone OS

Maemo and Meego were so good

I feel like most things degrade as a matter of scope-creep, while trying to implement features that are actually complex and non-trivial.

Take the unholy mess of modern Microsoft Office. MS Office might have been a good tool for a single purpose back in the 80s, but the addition of multiple generation/layers of features that have been halfway abandoned but kept for compatibilitys sake, make any more complex task non-trivial. There are multiple approaches for implementing templating MS Word, none of which are really good. MS Macros have been great… if you are trying to get arbitrary code execution on Windows machines. And collaboretive editing features include halfway abandoned sharing features and a half-baked Web Version of Office 365.

As a matter of fact I don’t believe this is purely out of corporate greed, but rather a lack of scope limitation during design. People don’t ask if they should, if they simply can do. We shouldn’t have macros inside of Text Documents, there should be another tool for that. We shouldn’t have SQL queries pulling into Excel Worksheets. We shouldn’t use Excel as a database, but people had to change names of biological genes to avoid these being autoformatted in Excel.

But as a matter of fact, in general one is limited to working with the tools one knows, so convincing someone to use the correct tool for a job will always be harder than just delivering additional features, that we know will make the overall product worse.

Guess he has only been working 250x as hard as the other employees

Let me guess… US? I can never understand why people dont lobby for higher minimum days off there

Reducing human oversight and intervention in HR will definitely not lead to problems down the road.

TIL what FDP means in french…

I think even similar trends in men, look at images of strong men 100 years ago. Professional bodybuilding has really shifted perceptions

They probably don’t want to get into any arguments regarding cost with a patient.

Most likely most of us would be in the yellow zone

Well, there necessarily need to also exist below average Harvard students. Its probably more of a shock to have the one thing you might have been proud of, being rather smart, be taken away once you get there and realize you are probably at most average and have to find a new identity

Excellent at being below average

All companies seem to be doing their best lately to cure us of our social media addiction.

If they can talk they can pay rent
