I have friends who say working for Ubisoft isn't as bad. Especially in the gaming industry. But obviously its not as good as working for a real tech company.
It was actually pushed by big-pharma to keep the more lucrative opioid based patented medicines going versus the CBT, THC based equivalents. Look at the new products introduced by Canadian pharma for more details.
In related news, the sky is blue and the water is wet. I honestly doubt anyone seriously believes in the pay gap hogwash, unless they are very conveniently pushing an agenda that is set to capitalize on this.
I think the author is correct in that the current "#DeleteFacebook" trend is heavily misguided, the outrage shouldn't be regarding the fact that Facebook allowed anyone access to data, it should be that they had centralized and collected so much data in the first place. I feel that tech companies should also be subjected to same scrutiny as the medical field with regards to data. Make it so that collecting data is a huge responsibility so much so that the effect of loosing it like so becomes a heavy liability. Also we need to stop pretending as if users are completely innocent. There should be some culpability shared with the user who chooses to share friend's data to a third party without consent. Though if such a system would ever come into place is yet to be seen.
They lack ports, everything needs an adapter, internals are locked tight, the weird touch bar is a waste of money and battery life, hate the trackpad, the keyboard is horseshit and suffers from thermal throttling. (Also I hate the fact that they don't have the light up logo on the back anymore)
Other than that though, the screen is pretty good, the OS "just werks" and sound isn't too bad either. Battery holds up pretty well, the build quality holds up pretty well too.
