Re:Argue with your customers on Tuesday September 11, 2018 @05:49PM (#17963696)
I work scaling support teams on a daily basis and I couldn't agree more with this.

Beyond the product itself, there's also the question about the relationship with your team, which is often very important. In that regard, it's even worse, and many customers will try to be very nice and say that your team was very helpful, omitting some redflags of a bad customer support experience.

I remember a saying from a friend as follows:

"A relationship with customer is like a marriage.

If everything is too perfect, there are no conflicts or issues, and you just love each other....

There is definitely something wrong. "

It's imperative to 'open them up' and find out what's really happening before it's too late.

For a normal person, unless you're extremely tall or in a very considerable amount of PEDs, you will have a high body fat doing this.

Any ideas why energy companies have highter RPE than tech? Perhaps they have a larger rate of subcontracting?

Re:Ask HN: Why can't I delete my HN account? on Sunday April 22, 2018 @06:42PM (#16899076)
I also always wondered why is there no option to delete submissions and comments?

That is an awfully exposing experience IMO.

Anything works as long as everyone does it.

I've seen companies using forums, Google docs, and even Github repos.

For me, the secret was to stop looking at teams, and start looking at individuals.

We found extremelly talented people that were underpaid, dislocated and suffocated by a toxic and outdated culture.

I'm not in defense of Zuckerberg, but I have seen and fortunately stopped some young entrepreneurs doing atrociously invasive things in order to better understand and expand their product.

I don't think this is necessarily a case of wickedness, but instead lack of knowledge and immaturity when the event happened.

Lies and omissions are always more dangerous than the truth.
Even if that was true, it doesn't invalidate the fact there is no scientific reasoning behind the theory of chemical imbalance.
The "Chemical Imbalence Theory", although heavely popular and promoted, is largely unfounded on science:

It's commoditization of human beauty.

It's not commoditization of beauty.

The timing is not the best, and the actual process would be treacherous (completely limiting GDPR only inside the EU).

This smells like a simple PR move after the big drop on FB stock following the Cambridge Analytica disaster.

Would you know of a single Russian account like that?
> Facebook has removed 70 Facebook accounts, 138 Facebook Pages, and 65 Instagram accounts run by the Russian government-connected troll farm and election interference squad the Internet Research Agency

This looks like a fairly small amount of accounts.

>Discworld MUD however has a quality I still haven't found in any other game - be it World of Warcraft, Elder scroll online, TERA or whatever.

As someone who wasn't even born at the release of this game, I couldn't agree more!
