Apparently, he only wanted to share it internally with everybody at Google, but mistaken shared it publicly. For the most part, Yegge’s post focusses on the horrors of working at Amazon, a company that is notorious for its political infighting. The most interesting part to me, though, is Yegge’s blunt assessment of what he perceives to be Google’s inability to understand platforms and how this could endanger the company in the long run.

Something other people enjoy but that looks and tastes repulsive to you? Well, you, too, can enjoy it by following these eight simple steps. Or, if this doesn’t work, oh well, you had a few mouthfuls of food you didn’t like. Quick backstory: I used to like nothing. I ate only cereal, pasta, and ice cream, and when I ordered a sandwich I ordered it with white bread, turkey, and mayonnaise — mustard, lettuce, and tomatoes being too freaky and exotic. Then I did [ continue reading How to Like Food that you ‘hate’ ] What rattled his cage? Surprise, surprise, at the end of the day it’s the clubs’ fault. Funny how clubs are dismissed so easily in statistics thrown out before coffee and biscuits. It’s only ‘one club’ after all, and it wouldn’t do to call it, ” a minimum of three or four hundred young swimmers, a hundred masters swimmers, and forty or fifty water-polo players – per year!”, would it?

Yes, I would prefer to see the entire sector shut down, if there were harmless alternatives. But there are no ideal solutions. Every energy technology carries a cost; so does the absence of energy technologies. Atomic energy has just been subjected to one of the harshest of possible tests, and the impact on people and the planet has been small. The crisis at Fukushima has converted me to the cause of nuclear power.

There was a welcome but just a teensy bit patronising piece in the FT on Saturday about how the sandals-and-black-socks twattish image of real ale – and CAMRA – is no longer accurate, particularly given that the latter has doubled in size over the last decade. The number of – shall we call them 'characters' – in society has not doubled, meaning that while some of us may still have issues with the organisation in some areas, it is succeeding in reaching out to [ continue reading ‘Lager drinkers are brainwashed morons.’ ] As part of its Olympic push, the city of London pledge to get 2 million more people in England playing sports and exercising. The New York Times reports today that: Figures issued in December by Sport England, the governing body for community sports, indicated that participation at the 3×30 level had increased by 123,000 since 2007-8, when the one million baseline was established. But that number increased by only 8,000 in the last year. At the current rate, the goal of one million new participants would not be reached in 2012-13 as hoped but more than [ continue reading Surprise: 2012 Olympics Are Not Making the Brits Exercise ] |
