whoever invented js scrolling instead of leaving that poo poo to a browser should be swirlied, wedgied and shoved in a locker

i agree with this post but also the locker should be buried in the desert and then an atomic bomb detonated on the site

and even that would be too kind for the person who invented that variant of scrolling where it periodically stops and spins the iphone around in a circle before continuing, and then the foreground stops for a while and the background scrolls instead, etc

also web applications that don't respect the browser back button, so you get several screens deep but when you click browser-back instead of the tiny onscreen "return" button or w/e it goes back to the login page instead of the previous screen and you have to start all over. run that guy over with a bulldozer

that's easy to do unintentionally if you simply don't know what you're doing. installing a ~js scrolling framework~ requires effort and presumably testing

Sears’s Edward Lampert Was a Wizard. Now He’s Coming to Terms With Failure.

quote:

Thanks to his early successes, Mr. Lampert is still very, very rich; his fortune today is estimated at $1.1 billion, according to the latest Forbes survey. He will likely emerge from the Sears collapse with many more assets than most people realize. He owns lavish homes in Greenwich, Conn., and Indian Creek, Fla., just off Miami Beach. But he no longer makes the cut for Forbes’s 400 richest Americans. His net worth has plunged by $3 billion since peaking at $4.5 billion in 2007, the magazine estimates. At Sears, all of his compensation was in stock. He never sold a share. The stock is now all but worthless.[/quote

That’s where Mr. Lampert met his match. He said he didn’t pick the best executives to fully embrace the company’s digital makeover. “I underestimated how difficult it is to do and how critical are the right people to lead and to get people to buy in,” he said.

As one example, he cited his attempt to convert underutilized space into internet lounges, which offered customers free Wi-Fi and a place to relax. It was an attempt to get customers, many of whom didn’t have internet access at home at the time, into stores, much as Starbucks had attracted laptop-toting coffee drinkers.

This was anathema to traditional retailers, who measured success strictly in terms of sales per square foot and for whom any space not dedicated to merchandise was a waste. Nonetheless, the computer-equipped internet lounges were rolled out in 100 Sears locations — but in a halfhearted manner. “I’d visit a store, and there’d be 10 computers,” Mr. Lampert recalled. “Half of them wouldn’t work.” The lounges were abandoned. “We didn’t have store leaders or a C.E.O. at the time who embraced the idea,” Mr. Lampert said.


In 2013 Mr. Lampert himself became chief executive, something he said he had never aspired to. He expected to stay in the role only a few months. “I wanted to be an idea generator,” he said. “I was trying to be a catalyst, not the operating person.”

truly it was because they didnt believe in his vision that the wifi lounges were unsuccessful, and not the fact that some store business unit would need to spend its janitor budget for the year to build the lounges

I agree. in comparison by the time I read the smartest guys in the room all the major civil and criminal proceedings had completed, so at least there was a sense of closure

Enron at least had funnier villains, like the guy that smeared gasoline on himself to hide strip club perfume or codenaming their grid manipulation scheme Death Star

Also the fact that they were somehow actually giving patients totally insane test results without anything happening.

Like even if they got away with lying to investors because it was a private company so there was no scrutiny, it seems like they should have been found out when they launched their tests in Phoenix.
