I know of many wikis that left wikia… sorry, fandom, and a decade later fandom still beats them in seo despite sucking so much more.

Some of us don’t care about this. It’s always worked like that and it doesn’t bother us. We just want to access the information that we are interested in.

US price doesn’t include tax, plus sales in the EU come with a non negotiable two (or was it three) year warranty.

Tax might have been a part, but very far from all of the difference. The dollar=euro was there decades before the introduction of the mandatory 2 year minimal guarantee.

Also if your product can't handle 3 years of use then maybe you shouldn't be selling it

The point is that is factored into the cost. Regardless of what you plan for, you need to offer a 3 year warranty. That has a non-zero cost, regardless of how reliable or awesome you make your product.

4chan does not have the concept of “Internet points”. Are you thinking Reddit?

No. I'm talking about 4chan.

People are so used to the same standard, cheap brand of self deprecating humor that anything else comes off as “egomania”

Claiming that you are crucial to a project is not the same as taking sole credit for it.

This is one of the biggest things I see software engineers struggle with in both hiring and annual reviews. They are so afraid to point out why they were critical for a project that they end up marketing themselves as a ride-along, which does not look good.

Note that no one would expect Seinfeld to not be a crucial part in a series that is named after him.

He could have said things like, "I always think my micromanaging was what made it successful, but lots of folks worked really hard on the show"

He didn't, though.

does being part of a project because of lack of resources count as being critical?

> In which he takes sole credit for the success of something

I don't think he has ever taken sole credit for the show, neither in this interview or in the plenty of others I have read or watched.

In the supplementary behind the scenes footage, the other cast members specifically mention that their job was easy in comparison because they showed up, said their lines, then left for the summer, while Jerry (and Larry, when he was working on the show) were putting in grueling, obsessive 18 hour days, all year long, for the duration of the series.

What if he's just right?

As an example - there are a lot of smart people at Tesla, and there have been for years. If you'd have put me in charge of it 10 years ago it would be dead. Dead dead dead. Elon makes a big difference. He's done it several times. Some people actually are the differentiator.

Are there lots of people disputing him? Or are you just reading into something with no foreknowledge?

It literally has his name on it.

I find this comment surprising because I don’t know what I’d do without BitTorrent - what are the alternatives? Edonkey, gnutella, etc are all dead. Just yesterday I downloaded an entire series in a matter of minutes thanks to BitTorrent. That would’ve taken ages over emule.

>usually too lazy to order takeaway too.

Apps such as Uber eats ruined this for me.

In my country, this didn't change much (except everything is through an app now), as everything has always delivered.

My point was more that the majority of public job descriptions use "Software Engineer" as the title. The vast majority of engineers I have ever worked with call themselves Software Engineers.

And one of the main examples in the article is an injunction against an individual for using that title online?

Claims workplace diversity is desirable are “spurious and dangerous”

Claiming it's undesirable equally is.

There are plenty of good arguments in favor of workplace diversity, "forced diversity" or "AI enabled diversity" aren't part of them though

If Equifax leaked personal data it was because of bad security practices… the ones that are implemented by distracted workers.

Specified, delegated and approved by distracted executives?

Criminally negligent executives, in my personal opinion.

I don’t see how any of this was the executives fault. They have no idea of computer security and hired people who they thought were competent to handle it.

No, they didn't. The executive in charge had no freaking idea what was going on, at all. As noted earlier in the threads, it was a music major with no experience, they hired a fall guy/gal - please dont say stuff you have no idea about.

What do you think an exec's job is? Watch TV and hope for the best?

Nope, the people that were 2 levels under execs hired them

Execs hired incompetent (or maybe just "profit oriented") management and that incompetence trickled down to the bottom.
