The interview was very short, numbers would have definitely helped. I agree there could definitely be a circumstance where it could possibly be better for the employees to leave.
Theres an interview (iirc) with him in Tim Ferris's Tribe of Mentors. He said something that stuck with me, that made me think slightly less of him.
I'm trying to recall from memory here since the book isn't in front of me.
He's talking about selling his first company, its all about making hard choices and such. The company is dying so he had two options either sell the company now (for a smaller amount) or fire most of the staff and sell later. He mentions how he had to let go of the staff but later sold it for a larger amount of money. He then says something to the degree of considering it a "win".
I don't know that I consider laying off a ton of people for a greater exit a win. I consider it a move to get more money, but I doubt anyone chasing money is going to "fix the internet".
Kind of frustrating to hear that the largest OS by marketshare for desktop PCs (82.68%) is going to be even less supported than it is currently. Doesn't seem like thats going to be good news for security on the windows platform.
I love this quote. Probably going to read the book. When I look at a lot of the comments here I see people talking about they hate what they're creating. Maybe - relating to the mudpie example in a lot of corporate environments is that there isn't much room for creativity in programming: its all pretty defined from start to finish.
I only see it supporting yahoo. I didn't try very hard but in the settings there is no way to change it from yahoo, which is really frustrating. Did I overlook something?
I don't understand, this insane hype over the removing the esc key. I use vim on a daily basis, and there are several ways in vim, or in the system to remap the keys. But above all that I'm pretty sure they said yesterday in the presentation that the esc key would just be on the touch bar when the terminal is open. And if that's the case its a simple signal to the OS.
Is there a way for us to remark to apple that this is something we want to see? I would gladly email support.
This might be an effective way to handle these as I've seen a bunch of them.
EDIT: I would like to know the source, I have apps on the app store and I wonder if it is a simple as someone putting in a fraudulent claim of fraudulence.
Billion not Million, although still a small number in respect to 200bn its 7%. But I think you have to look at it in terms of the magnitude of the number, its easy to make it look small in comparison to their reserves but 14 billion is still enough to power a whole lot of economic growth.
Makes total sense if you're coming out of high school I think. But we can assume that there is a decent amount of people that are switching post college to a programming related field.
And in terms of college being the hard path, I'm not sure that it was. I don't know how college helped me with "responsibilities" or "Uncomfortable Decisions". Not to mention the cost of college is pretty extreme, taking on 7k (usually more) a year at a state school would be expensive and stressful. (Real world challenges lol)
I think the solution would might be to step up the bootcamps to be a little more in-depth, and probably take a little longer, like a year at night, or something like that.
