Things That Make Your Cry
Mattis isn’t sure he can work with Bolton.
Students Start Fire While Cooking Pasta Without Water
The ignorance is astounding.
Request to team @things can we have a view of today and all days following so I can drag the vents from today to tomorrow
Just an idea for @manton - filter the discover section so that the list is of people that you don’t already follow.
And yes, this is what happens when neither your operating system nor your app care about your privacy.
oh it is THAT Eric Bolling that is friendly with Trump, talks to him ‘all the time’ and wants to work with him.
After a week of Facebook scandals, Mark Zuckerberg’s credibility is so damaged that we hear President Trump might consider adding him to his cabinet.
… you cannot make this shit up.
Actually .. There Is Something New ... It just Doesn’t Seem To Be Better
I concluded this post with the comment that ‘there is nothing new’ - but of course there is … a new twist.
Rowntree and others like him were of course trying to build environments for people in their employ that only had slums to live in as an alternative. The tech giants seem to be more focused on ensuring that their staff don’t ‘wander off' … think of it as an extension to the ‘free lunch’ that morphed into ‘on campus gourmet restaurants’ .. the problem is that staff then get to go home at night. This fixes that issue.
Of course people working, living and sleeping in one environment mirrors that old world of servitude, that on the face of it works, but actually covers a raft of moral and legal issues, not to mention how it makes it very difficult to move on … want to leave the company? Then find a new place to live at the same time.
Oracle’s new live-in campus in Austin looks very similar to the emerging ‘company towns’ that Facebook and Google are pursuing in Silicon Valley.
‘Rowntrees of York’ had New Earswick, one of the original company towns over a hundred years ago.
There really is nothing new.
Spotify Saved Music … Can It Save Itself?
I can’t emphasize enough how much I so vehemently disagree with the first half of that headline …
Dropbox went public and is now worth $20 billion
”Houston’s 25.5% ownesrship of Dropbox almost certainly makes his stake in the company worth billions.”
Why ‘almost certainly’? How can 25% of 20 billion not be multiple billions?
More sloppy stupid writing at Business Insider.
Sherlock - “what’s that … what are you typing?”
Watson - “a title”
Sherlock - “ a title? What do you need a title for?”
Strikes me that the writer for Sherlock is a micro blogger! What say you?
