I can't speak to the EU, but living in the non-California US, yes. I've gotten next-day replacements accompanied by a box for returning the bricked phone. This is accompanied by the caveat that if they don't receive the bricked phone in something like 30 days, you're on the hook for the full purchase price of the replacement they sent you.


In the EU too.


The original post contains

> It can also happen if the team culture is toxic and engineers fear getting criticism early in the design process.

I think the author would agree with you.


i do agree


> as both an IC and a manager

When juxtaposed to manager, it usually means individual contributor - someone being managed rather than doing the management.


Not just me, then. I played around with scroll, with zoom, doing everything I could to try to see the actual main feature.


We do drop criminal charges left and right in order to bring forth information. We have whistleblower protections; we have immunity in exchange for testimony.


In every intro book on espionage. MICE is the short-hand for why people become traitors / how to turn people into assets.


Very surprised that they never added one that started with R so that the acronym could be CRIME.


"Coercion, Reddit-karma, Ideology, Money, Ego"


MICE has a nice sound to it, because it's what makes people rat.


religion? revenge?


That's just ideology.


Revenge isn't typically an ideology. It can be under certain circumstances (e.g. we will make the filthy Americans pay for all they've done!) but often people want revenge for a specific transgression with no underlying general belief (e.g. Bob banged my wife, now I'll destroy his career, fuck you Bob!).


Money is a social construct, it's ideological too. Let's call it ICE.


Money is not ideology

Being a "social construct" is not the same as being ideology.


Can you please recommend which book should I read about this topic? Don’t remember if I’ve seen any.


so a traitor is one that doesn't share another one's ideology :-)


No, you can share an idealogy but be motivated by money, or coerced. A traitor is a label for actions, not motivations.


They're a biglaw firm, which has its hands in many, many fields. If WilmerHale had anything resembling a specialty, it would corporate/finance law.


Real white shoe big law wont really want to do union busting


Sullivan and Cromwell helped overthrow an entire government to avoid unions.


Thats not how lawyers work. No more so than "REAL tech companies wouldn't work on crappy javascript libraries".


I'm not clear on what you're arguing. In Year 2019 there are N suspected suicide attempt visits for females; in Year 2020, there are 1.506N attempted visits for females. Regardless of comparing males-to-females, the year-on-year comparison is valid, unless you can make a convincing argument that there's been an abrupt change in the method/effectiveness of suicide that females are using.

In terms of comparing male to female, the comparison is still valid as well, assuming that males haven't gotten more successful than they were last year. Assuming that males are successful some proportion of the time, P, if that proportion hasn't changed, a bump of 3.7% in their total number of failures should give a general indication of the trend. If you'd take a position like "a 3.7% increase in failed attempts was accompanied by a 30% increase in successful attempts," you'd have to support the argument for why they're not only committing more suicide, but why it's more effective than it was before. That's hardly where occam's razor falls.
