What I find gross is that the article somehow considers cubicles as a "private" solution. This modern management cargo cult has reached really gross levels of absurdity. If open pl…

Second system effect is a possibility. Not a mandatory trap for any team doing a second iteration of their product. All it takes is for a single person on the team to be aware of t…

That would be hard to do and pretty pointless. Do not forget that mining bitcoins becomes progressively harder with time. Thus to get any sort of meaningful reviews, they would hav…

My partner does: UI/UX design, HTML and JavaScript and a dash of backend. I do: backend, architecture, algorithms, sysadmin work and HTML + JavaScript when necessary. It works real…

But robotics hasn't really gotten its consumer spotlight yet. If we ignore robotic vacuum cleaners and toys. But there are some incredibly cool robotics applications. What needs to…

What if most women want to take care of their own babies? Hell I'm a guy and I'm dreaming about downshifting or even ending my career when kids start coming. I have seen consumeris…

It really feels like stone age. There are 13 year old kids out there who can write a web and mail server, yet could get into trouble for using them.

As a guy I have read a different article. The article I read was about talking the talk versus walking the walk. And being aware that sacrifices will have to be made. And that peop…

That is exactly the right thing to do. But completely honestly, why did you even develop this kind of culture in the first place? Don't you think you should have prevented the whol…

What about the Google commercial, where parents open a childs google account upon birth, fill it with images and commentary... Only to have it all deleted when Google get around to…

The Russians indeed lost more people and material than anyone else. The weird fact is that they lost 26 million due to military, but they lost 10 million to their own internal poli…

I didn't know that. Thank you for clarifying - this project would be probably taking place in Finland? However 20 years ago the ubiquity of state sponsored infrastructure is what e…

There has not been significant investment into mobile , there was regulation that forced carriers to cover even the areas that would otherwise prove unprofitable, if they wanted th…

Absolutely. Stalin's and Communist Party's goal was to "free the world of capitalist oppression", had US not had built a Nuke, Russians would not have stopped at Berlin. The Russia…

Arguably the nuclear weapons have prevented continuation of WW2, where USSR and US would duke it out in the 50's and 60's. Just wanted to point out that world of geopolitics and st…

I find the comments within stories, that have nothing more to add than "This is Offtopic" way more distracting than the stories themselves, even if they are offtopic. So I see this…

Many have regarded Earth to be center of the universe. Many still do. What do people's beliefs and perceptions have to do with reality?

Your comment is purely academic at its best and pretentious at its worst. There is a good real life problem for jQuery style and your so called anti patterns are in fact the main f…

Not everybody will return, but great deal many will. The fact is that these returning migrants are probably the best bet for increasing the welfare in the parent lands. Even if mos…

I am from Europe (Slovenia) and between me and my milieu we have put our feet on all of European countries. My division is not geopolitical, it is more of an cultural division. Pro…

I hope I answered most of your criticism in my post do danieldk.

I guess I went wrong when I said Europe instead of European periphery (East and Mediterran, or he so called New Europe). Since the France, Benelux, North and Germanic states (the O…

Alot of these people will return home (all over Europe plus Turkey) once in the future, and they will bring home with them - piles of saved Euros, German working ethics and loads o…

For one I believe that Germans know what they're doing. They might be a little bit too bent on saving Framany's banks - however if these banks drop then Framany drops. If that happ…
