I work for YouTube. You’re hired.

At the WiseTech office in 2006 we had a small shrine in the corner dedicated to Tridge, the patron saint of hackers.

This is very revisionist. While they have been catching up quickly there was no master 4D chess strategy here. Google was incredibly late to this game - Sergey had to come back from retirement because most of the research team had a Sarah Connor complex and couldn’t ship. The saving grace is that AdWords picked up the tab again and founders shook the place up when it became clear the golden goose was being cooked.

What, you don't want to ship the Torment Nexus? You're fired! We must ship a Torment Nexus, we must maintain our market share even if it means our destruction!


Android supremacy at its finest. I would never recommend a family member buying one. The history of this kind of thing is long and keeps continuing to happen.


> What makes a group of coworkers into "an org"?

Reporting lines that ladder up to a line in the P&L.


Honestly good luck. I left a company and removed myself from the meta account which triggered the deletion of our whole app. Impossible to recover. Meta suck.


LOL


Very rude. Just because you work for The Register doesn’t mean you can bring your toxicity here.


1. Pointing out a garbled message is not "toxic".

2. I tried to word it politely, in fact.

If you understood it then what do you think it meant?


I couldn't make sense of it either. The top level comment doesn't make sense as written.

>One of the best tools to set a Windows/Reactos computer among MMC.exe, and now their are ditching it because of braindead mobile users with no clues to solve anything.

I was just skipping the comment because it was made no sense and seems to be trying to be hostile.

Skipping it is arguably more toxic than asking politely to rephrase it. Skipping it assumes the meaning behind the comment isn't worth trying to decipher.

I default to, "If they can't be bothered to write it properly then it's probably not worth reading". But that's not always fair to EFL people or NT people.

What do you feel the correct course of action is?

--- Edit: Based on the comment and what pcdoodle has said, is this a fair representation of how you interpret the comment?

>Control Panel is one of the best tools to configure a Windows/ReactOS computer. (Another such tool is "MMC.exe".)

>Braindead and clueless mobile users can't figure out how to use Control Panel. That's why Microsoft are ditching Control Panel in favour of the more iOS/Android-style Settings.

>This is frustrating to me as a Windows power user.

Aha! Now I get it! Thank you.


Not sure why this is downvoted. Economic activity should be enjoyed by the commons. For example LNG being exported UNDER international value and Aussies buying it at international prices is idiotic.


Three words: left hand drive.
