Bingo. If a company stops paying you as much, stop working as much. If you are annoyed that you aren't getting paid for as much as you were contributing before, you learn for next time to pay attention and adjust course before waiting a whole year for a payday.

The expected value of illiquid non-controlling stock is 0. There is no problem here. Don't take a job that pays you in unicorn horns and pegassus tails, folks.

What you describe is impossible. Apple reviews and approves every app in the store, so abusive apps can not be published.

That is slightly bizarre restriction, but can be worked around by naming the app "AppName Pro by Developer".

We had pages before we had computers. Unbroken or variable-broken document flow was a feature computers added.

What does rsc have to say to jwz about using regexes to match a language?

It is sad that we have lost the fine and colorful distinctions between swearing, blaspheming, cursing, and vulgarity.

We need Web Intents

They are still a subset of American schools.. if KA wins an A/B test wiher both A and B are at those schools, it is still a win. But the control had better be the same school!

KA only replaces teachers if it is competing to serve a need already filled. KA is far more impactful in filling a need that is NOT already being met for its population.

That is simple to implement. All industry members in Thailand (not Taiwan) take a hit. All competitors to companies that take a hit get a bonus.

A company so toxic as to have a 10% attrition commitment is going to be filled with employees trying to abuse the company as much as the company abuses them.

Why do you think perks and stock are not part of compensation?

Time-to-answer is a numeric, but perhaps not linear, predictor.

Which is Ng's class's next chapter after logistic regression. :-)

And YouTube's lack of a mobile site for publishing makes it excruciatingly painful to share a video uploaded from a phonecam. (As does YouTube's lack of privately-shared "albums" like Picasa has.)

They already broke Picasa sharing with the utterly confusing "plus or email" choice that makes no sense: you can email share (picasa style) or you can plus share with an email address (which silently fails if the recipient is an alien creature who doesn't have a gmail account)

Google used to sell hardware appliances, before they realized they would actually prefer to read all your documents.

Hmm, it turned out that information that users send to Google gets sent to Google. Interesting.

(Wardrobe, not central casting)

That is the new style for the entire Googleverse. It came straight from the top, not a rogue designer.

The world's first movement based on exhaustive study to figure out exactly what people wanted to hear before telling it to them. Exactly the opposite of what wee celebrated Steve Jobs for, isn't it? Are marketing gimmicks really the soul of the new internet generation? Not real products that male people's lives better?

I met a marketing analyst who used incredibly sophisticated Machine Learning techniques to figure out which banking customer segments are more likely to respond to a mail campaign that was addressed to "Our Neighbor". It's disheartening that marketing tricks are what so many are putting their best thinking to, and these successes are what we celebrate..

Ahead of its time, and Microsoft was always too stodgy to nail the fun factor in user experience.

Nobody trusted Microsoft then. I was one of many people who refused to create a Hailstorm/Passport account.

(And now I refuse to use Facebook.)

So this article post was libkbait. Gotcha.

Of course, if you wrote down all of knowledge on paper, and discounted the mass of the paper and ink that holds the information, the actual information content--the arrangement of the ink--weighs nothing.

I you use a mobile browser, you won't get the 0.5 sec delay, you'll immediately see "Dynamic Views are not supported on your device".

What is an "ad"?

That ad has been there for years. You probably turned it off and forgot.

No need to ascribe malice; the Google web experience is bad on Android too.

You could buy a second hard drive and put it behind your other drive and occasionally copy important files from your front drive up to your back drive.
