Steve was mocking xerox for being run by people who have no idea how to develop a product. Jobs would mention that those people can only do marketing and sales and would drive the design to the point of uselessness.

Wish he would be still alive, none of this self destructive bullshit would have continued. The touchbar would have been binned and the butterfly keyboard slapped on the wall of shame with the title

"think before you build"

AirBnb is scum and I hope it gets regulated to death.

Two years ago my friend rented her room for two nights. The person who rented it didn't like it, and demanded his money back after the first night. Instead of going through the usual AirBnb route, the man took her keys with him and demanded she goes to meet him at a random hotel with cash to get the keys back.

Airbnb refused to provide any assistance and said that it is within the guests right to do so (lol). Police were called on a premise of extortion to resolve the situation.

I hope Airbnb goes bankrupt.

Clearly it does not have a tech company valuation, hence they pulled the IPO.

You can't put a horn on a dog and call it a unicorn.

not at all, but you need to consider the context of what happened. the protesters were throwing molotvs.

there are footage of protesters beating the police with equal brutality, but i guess you won't find it on reddit.

i'm ending my discussion here with you, you can choose to consume and believe whatever media you like.

my 2 cent was that reddit is a cesspool of propaganda now.

and are you there to witness both sides of the story? i will have a wild guess that no.

reddit has become toxic pool of garbage.

the anti china sentiment that has been driven up by US media and Hong Kong protests alike is irrational and is bordering xenophobia and bigotry.

just a small glance at r/HongKong and you can see images posted out of context with slogans against the police and government, most of which are targeted towards kids in school, sometimes by the same kids.

I use windows at work, on 3 screens.

One thing pisses me off to no end: When you drag a window and accidentally make a small "left-right-left" movement, everything on your screen is minimized to the tray. There is no button to restore this.

f*cking retarded features.

surprised they omitted the shittiest thing ever made: TouchBar

I suggest ditching that piece of shit of an invention.

4 years on, the TouchBar:

- Adds zero value in terms of functionality nor user experience for 95%+ of the user base

- Fails to better the classic buttons to change volume

- Fails to better the classic buttons to change screen brightness

- Leaves users deadlocked when they change screen displays

- Is incompatible with bootcamp, oftentimes blanking out

- Needs the user to be very cautious to not rest their hand anywhere near the touchbar, or ESC/F1/F2 will be pressed accidentally

- Needs the user to make sure that ESC was pressed when they wanted it pressed. No haptic feedback is terrible.

- Consumes more battery

- Adds a few hundred bucks to the price of the laptop, and there's lack of choice for 2018 MBP which forces the TouchBar on the user

If still alive, Jobs would have ripped someone's head off for letting the marketing idiots drive product development.

Fuck you Apple.

Take the all occurrences of the word "blockchain" out of this text, and it would not take away anything from this article.

Sounds like the author has no idea what he is talking about, and is forcing blockchain into the article when it has no relevance.

No, it is punishing the wrong people, who would lose their jobs and who were not the ones responsible for the decision making.

Deutsche bank employs tens of thousands of people, shutting them down would cause a lot of grief and miscarried justice.

The execs are the ones who should be tried and jailed.

Ironic coming from Bloomberg which is known among the financial services, as a joke, as the most expensive messaging system available.

I used to work for Bloomy for 3 years, and all the workflows for a Bloomberg employee are tied into the terminal, from email to chat.

That having said, I'm sure the person who wrote this article has never used Slack at work, and as a journalist he surely does not see the value added of being able to format code/send files/create polls as easily as slack allows you.

Comparing it to email is pure stupidity and displays a lack of understand of the product. But to be honest, I didn't expect more from Bloomberg Businessweek.

without going into too much details, what is competitive rate for a FE web dev?

I work in London and was just wondering what those rates go for.

The author seems like a grade A idiot. If his priority is noise cancellation, go for Bose QC series or Sony WH series which are known for great active noise cancellation.

>Yet I chose the Beats because they looked comfortable. And, you know, NBA players wear them, right?

Drop near $300 on a product because NBA players wear it, then write an article complaining it is not what he expected.
