Yes, he did. This value doesn't come from all the "monkey" jobs that most of his employees do. It comes from the ability to produce ideas and making them happen by managing that 341,000 people. You completely underestimate the value of directing a company like Amazon.

> In more than 15 years I have never seen these markets being as bad as they are in the moment

Care to elaborate a bit on this? I'm genuinely interested.

Until it becomes a norm among travellers.

"Ethics of War" sounds like an oxymoron.

You are wrong. End of discussion.

> he didn't want or intend that

You can't really prove this. Something being said in the front of the camera with a fake smile on the face is one thing, documents being signed that are not released to the public is a different story.

There is an easy to prove that they do read private messages. Send a private message with a link that points to your private website. Wait a few minutes and you should see in your server's logs that Facebook's bot is trying to crawl that url.

I don't think this will necessarily help. In my experience some people who use Slack consider responsiveness as getting an answer right away. This isn't that different from coming and asking directly - it still interrupts your current thinking process.

More important is to understand how async communication works. Otherwise, you have to create a physical boundary (remote work) to enforce this.

No. Brexit happened because people were brain-washed by this non-sense. Most people (sadly) are not able of making informed decisions.

> Large companies are judged by the diversity of their employees

And here is the problem - diversity has become a goal rather than a natural consequence of everyone having equal chances.

It's not the lack of diversity that those companies should focus on - much more important is an elimination of any kind of discrimination based on gender/race/religion etc.

> What will be in the girls-only code program that might be inappropriate for boys

Unfortunately, a lot of tech companies these days consider "positive discrimination" as a good thing.

This is not your fault that the launch date has been pushed back. You already made arrangements with the other company so I'd stick to the plan. It's your current employer, not you, who should be dealing the consequences of poor management.

It's not only that. I think the bigger issue is that because of it's Ruby-like syntax it encourages newcomers to think in Ruby rather than in Erlang. Rather than emphasising what's the core of Erlang it attracts people with it's syntax, which is the least important aspect of a language.

"capitalists are using it to their advantage"

yes, this is true but by the same token you can say that socialists use this data to better target users with their socialist agenda.

My point is, there is no need for introducing this type of "innocent" remarks because it only creates more hype around the whole capitalism vs. socialism thing.

" ... this is the sort of thing that capitalism is inherently going to end up making use of."

I just stopped reading after this.

This feels more like a troll than a genuine question.

The title of this article should rather be: "Why I switched from Mac OS to Linux?"
