Sounds like a work culture and "top" in your workplace might be not too healthy then.
CEO's should deliver results and help the company grow. If they have issues with him coming to work at 10 am, then the work culture should be adjusted imo for people to understand what it takes for him to deliver results.
I even see a large dropoff in usability between my commuter vehicle, which has knobs and levers, and my spouse's vehicle, which has buttons.
What makes it worse is that they are unlit buttons.
I can quite easily adjust the environmental controls in my vehicle without looking at them, or with a brief glance. In the other car, which I generally only drive at night anyway, I have to at minimum turn on the map light, and sometimes have to stop the car and look down at the mess of 20 identical-feel buttons to push the correct one.
The button I really hate is the "mode" button. It is furthest from the driver's seat, and switches between defrost, defrost + low vents, high vents, high vents + low vents, low vents. It doesn't click or beep or give any kind of audio signal. You can't tell by feel. You can either look down at the LCD display to see what it's doing, or you can wait a few seconds for the actuators to adjust the airflow, and then hit the button again if it wasn't what you wanted. This button's function is fulfilled by a knob in my car, and I prefer it that way.
I can't even imagine a touchscreen that doesn't even have the tactile-kinesthetic advantage of the fixed-position buttons. How many seconds will I need to look away from the road in order to turn on the AC and blow it at the inside of the windshield if the glass starts to fog up on a hot, humid night?
Vultr offers $2,5 servers on few locations (I think NJ and 1-2 more). Those are amazing for testing and small work. They are comparable to their $5 servers from a year ago performance-wise. Great value.
Remember that Twitter works in multiple countries and in different languages. Then there is a lot of face to face meetings required, so add offices and service staff as well.
1-1,5K would sound reasonable for global sales and customer services.
I would blame management/top more, than sales. Sales can work only with products they were given. AFAIK Twitter was pretty aggressively hiring 2-3 years ago sales reps across the globe and they were stealing top employees from FB and co.
I would assume that it is the lack of products/top commitment that causes poor sales.
I agree again, I think there is a lot of blame to go around in Twitter, also another reason why I think they could have a healthy purge and move forward with some fresh vigor.
There are European versions of Xiaomi working on all European frequencies now in Poland. You can grab a nice Xiaomi phone for $150 with a fingerprint sensor and 3/32 memory.
You can simply ask fisherman about what is going on with their catch. People tend to side with scientific data, that can be outdated or wrong, rather than asking simple man about their own experiences.
We need to learn to ask "regular people", to make big scientific projects like this to work.
Right because i’m sure the fisherman doesn’t have any bias when he or she answers the survey questions. Including the wholly unscientific opinions of “regular people” is not a solution that will lead to better scientific understanding.
Using data from regular people as a PART of such a research would help tremendously in my opinion. People do not need to know why this data is gathered when answering it.
Wow. The translation of your "How do you know that such an imigrant is not being a criminal?" to the equivalent statement in 1930's Germany is so direct and so poignant, I would have thought you were trying to support the parent's post, but I believe you're using that line to try to fault their thinking (which I find genuinely frightening in terms of the object lesson it presents on the ease of vilifying a "them" group, and how easily that kind of rhetoric can creep into polite conversation)
This was posted as an opposite to what OP posted, to point out his sided point of view while fortifying his opinion with pretty much unrelated, emotional part of history.
I made sarcasm very obvious, especially with exactly saying it was that, in the second line.
Learn how to read in between lines.
Edited the post so no one else thinks it is the real reply.
When talking about potentially inflammatory topics on the web, expecting the reader to "read between the lines" as you say is probably never a workable idea as there can be and are enough potential speakers across the entire spectrum of opinion that any intended meaning could be possible and potentially valid for "reading between the lines" (hence Poe's Law[0] and other challenges in the discussion of complex topics on the web when the range of speaker opinions and audience opinions is large and unknown).
No one ever expects Poe's law to apply to their own sarcasm, but unfortunately it always does.
I really think that the humanitarian problem is not a real problem for China. A country this size could easily swallow 10 million Koreans (let's be real, surely not more than half of population would flee), allow them to work and assimilate and not even notice it really. I think the issue is that China is afraid that united Korea will become a US ally and allow US forces to station there. Also it could expose China to the world as a weak player that could not handle Korea by itself.
I've never understood this argument. South Korea is already a US ally, and I don't see how the land of North Korea is more strategically beneficial than South Korea already is. It's not like the US needs to be directly bordering China to be able to launch missiles there or to spy on them.
I think you are right that there is a "prestige" factor to this as well. China doesn't want to lose an ally, regardless of whether having that ally benefits them much, because they would look weak backing down to the US.
Land border attracts tensions. It's also a psychological factor. Then it is much harder to launch an invasion from the sea, than from land.
Its same as saying that there is no difference if Cuba will be "east" aligned and have USSR army/nukes or Mexico - after all, it is easy enough to launch nukes from both places.
You think from a "nuke" perspective. There are much more perspectives, like controlling water borders, locking important Chinese ports etc.
