  • The newspaper he was writing for is a major publication he absolutely could have asked someone.

    The problem here is the newspaper didn’t care enough about the article to put anyone on it who is even remotely familiar with technology. They probably thought of it as just some throwaway piece to fill out a bit of space. Which to be fair it would have been had it not been for that comment.


  • I don’t think it’s the variable for counting the number of us in a group that’s the issue here. There’ll be some internal tracker that gives everyone in the chat group a local ID probably for the purposes of ensuring that everyone stays in sync.

    If you leave the group and then go into a different chat group you’ll probably have a different number in that group because the internal counter is specific to the chat, not to the user ID which will be a unique ID used across all interactions for that phone number.

    A company telling you you’ve got unlimited off days is actually really bad because it means they will just engage in this judging practise.

    If they tell you you’ve got 25 days then that’s great you know how many days you’ve got, if it’s unlimited they start being argumentative around day 10. So in reality people with unlimited time off actually end up with fewer days.

    Working for a European company is great, currently I’m being told that I need to take 2 weeks off, in addition to the holiday I’ve already booked off.
