On other ways to commute: You assume that people who commute by car do so because they want to, instead of going by train. I don't think that is the case.

On people who refused to get a good WFH setup (e.g., WiFi): I bet those are terrible people to work with in the office, too.

& I agree with your last point.

Yes, I would say so, nice observation. I also think that many "idea guys" are doing the performative role of "the leader", i.e. the idea guys doing the corporate/business drag of the "thought leader".

In the case of Linus Torvalds and others like Guido van Rossum, I think is fine to consider them leaders, because they are leading their projects - to a certain extent these projects are not theirs (only) anymore, nonetheless they IMO they can claim or get the leader title.

I agree, and my "favorite" title is Thought Leader.

In my experience, people who call themself leaders, are often not performing very well in their main role, which usually happens to that of a people manager.

IMO the Zuck just gave Elon a lesson on how to be a grownup CEO.

I am wondering if it has to do with chip shortages and supply chain issues, due to that I can imagine that the current offering became unsustainable.

Any specific reason why is emptying out?

I also used it, and I can say that it's an excellent tool/app.

Europe was more expensive a couple of years ago. Now is much cheaper, just pick equivalent cities and compare them on Numbeo.

e.g. Hamburg vs Seattle https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?cou...

The past years I used to travel each year to US, in different parts (Dallas, Chicago, Seattle etc...) and I always had the impression that USA is way more expensive - from the perspective of someone who goes to a restaurant and enjoys good food and a good bottle of wine.

Also health insurance is cheaper here, and my coverage is very good.

Exactly my feeling and I also feel that sometimes we underestimate the "ability and efficiency" of small teams. I start to believe that a small core team (not to read few contributors) can have a larger impact than an organization.

here I found more details http://www.cbronline.com/news/tech/networks/telecoms/orange-...

"An Orange spokeswoman was quoted by Reuters as saying: "We will take legal action in the next few days because we want to know more about the eventuality that Orange data may have been intercepted."

Orange is yet to decide to whether to take an individual action or to join the current legal action launched against the federal project.

Under the surveillance programme, the federal government had collected metadata including telephone numbers, times and dates of calls, calling card numbers and the serial numbers of phones processed by various operators in the country."

with all these "big brother" news, I almost forgot about the submarine cables - which is a simple way to get all the data.

After reading most off the coments. It feels that we are going in the right and healthy direction. People will be able to chose what OS they want without losing the benefits of actualy doing useful work.

Some will want Windows 8, some will go for Linux and some for Mac OS. We are not yet there, but having a healty market distribution of the major OSes will benefit the end-user.

I didn't check it from iPhone. From my desktop (iMac) I only place the cursor on the "ProfStef next." line and press Ctrl-d or press the DoIt or PrintI - I didn't need to select the text and everything worked.

"According to an AP report, the contract, which was awarded in 2006 and is set to expire in 2013, is currently 42 months late and over $60 million above its original contract amount of $106.9 million." --- The Mythical Man-Month

I expected to see more people in the picture. I hardly can find one. Maybe they were edited out.

"draconian contracts" for me this means unlimeted Data Plans, some carriers only offer that for iPhone - at least this is valid for Romania (last time I checked).

version 1.0pre is released 11 months ago. https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/commit/b1e7bb99746bd5916...

I think that now is about time to have version 2.0pre

I think that guy has a point with: https://github.com/emberjs/ember.js/commits/master/ember.jso.... "Ember is released in "revisions", because it's not production ready and not ready to be 1.0. Hence the core team chose to rather call breaking changes a new "revision". Well guess what dudes, that's exactly what versions are for. Why couldn't you just like normal people release 0.4, 0.5? Why do you need to hit 1.0 directly?"

Yes, I also used Chef. But I don't think that is enough reason to market a language as beeing a "FB" one. Because in that way you can market that 80% of the companies use ruby.

Around minute 1:01, in the kickstarter video, he says that ruby is used by facebook o_O. I don't think that it is, is it?
