windows 95 looked the way it did, not because the people making it thought it was the optimal look, but due to hardware limitations. A designer in 1995 seeing you waste a modern 4k…

Most likely reason for such fall from grace in update speeds? They lost the savant senior dev (or two) keeping their project together.

It should be at least 10x higher, this bug affects a billion users

any such (public) company has fallen into the ”printing money from past heroic projects by former employees” phase and is slowly dying out

The tech sector prints money. Large companies can leech off past heroics built by former employees for decades, even if the current employees are incompetent. A zombie company if y…

They can just mess with the Tiktok algorithm. i’m 100% sure there is lots of content that will increase birth rate.

Yes, it’s called a filter bubble. Covid was extremely easy to avoid pre-Omicron even without vaccines if you don’t go to nightclubs and don’t work in an office and have no kids.

but it’s not? do you actually remember 2005? Online shops, online banking, online food delivery, online payments, they ALL used to suck majorly.

? data centers are a net negative for carbon emissions. 1. no need to drive to a bank/govt office/business when it has been digitized 2. watching a video on youtube, netflix or tik…

The email text to me looks like it was written by some 15-year-old zoomer kid with no clue what they’re really doing.

Wolt was a show of Northern European style software/business development, and it’s why Doordash acquired them. Now that US big tech has their dirty fingers all over Wolt, I’ll gues…

Remote work. Hundreds of millions of well-off middle class people gained 2 hours of extra time and energy per day from not having to commute. Thats equivalent to a population boom.…

Sounds more like classic large organization things. I bet there were some employees who saw the estimates were untrustable and the entire thing was heading towards failure, but goo…

No, I don’t. But just like I can trust the things I buy from the grocery stone to not poison me or to have stones embedded inside, I trust medical products taken by millions or eve…

No they won’t. conspiracy theories are based on instincts and emotions not any science or rationality. pills are basically just food(=good) to the subconscious lizard brain, zero n…

The same antivaxxers who ”refuse to take experiemental drugs from big pharma Pfizer” will gobble this pill down no questions asked. Which just proves, the anti-vaxxer moment is bas…

Because the only real way you can say if someone is fit for a job, is to work alongside them for about 1-6 months. The interview system is just there to avoid as many mishires and …
