This is the opposite of stifling innovation. It's literally not innovative, which is a big point of the ruling. The company produces and sells watches with the technology. It's not a patent troll.
Okay, but that's not the framing of the argument I'm responding to in this thread. The title of the article and the people I'm responding to are framing the percentage growth as the problem.
You can't fully remove the "gag-worthy" label unless they use the word "layoff". Calling it "rightsizing" or "headcount reduction" is gag-worthy. A great gag-worthy line: "Please know we are focused on treating our…

Would it actually be that much less costly to give you 20-25 vs 75, though? My uninformed assumption was that it was largely artificial once you get to a low enough speed.

People often confuse society as a whole with individual choices. An individual can independently choose to brush, floss, engage in less risky behaviors, have a good diet, maintain a health weight, etc. It's not hard.…

See my other comment below for a more detailed answer but: no, my claim is not that I needed porn to become the engineer I am today. But the level of restrictions proposed by the top level comment in this thread would…
I'm a millennial, for context. So much to unpack here. These restrictions just don't make sense to me. I was a pretty reserved child, so I can't imagine getting over all the hurdles needed to grow as a person and foster…
You can't become a highly paid engineer today with just books and punch cards. I don't know why any of that is relevant. So porn is part of the issue? Really?
Unless we're talking about very very young children, I have an extremely hard time with this. I had none of that as a child, and I assume neither did most adults here. Because I had none of that, I'm a software engineer…

The reason is pretty simple. As companies get larger, the culture dies. Those who joined big-tech early-ish in their career likely see the state of the company at the time as way better than what they're used to. Then…

We're not talking about impact. We're talking about the claim that "c suite often work a lot more". That claim is hard to substantiate.
