A nuanced view of any sort of economic change will include analysis would objectively consider all the pro's-and-con's, and the media knows that con's sell better because of heightened emotional response.

My guess is the author has little experience delivering challenging information.

S&P 500 CEO's. That's a very select subset of CEOs. Many large companies aren't public today and this leaves out CEOs of small-to-mid sized businesses.

If space above ground is fixed, space below ground is also fixed. Seems like a tautology to me.

US commenters hopefully know they can re-finance when rates go down. Locked in, with the option of re-fi'ing. Only possible when rates drop but we're yet to have a period of 30 years of continually rising rates.

You end up with a Frankenstein application where different product areas feel like they were built by entirely different companies. There's a real price to giving that much autonomy to each development team. You want teams to be empowe

When you buy a home -- the largest single purchase one makes in the middle class -- you lock in the purchase price, but not the interest rate. Housing prices still haven't recovered in Japan to their 1990 highs. So if you don't pa

Is there actually a major pilot shortage? Can I not book a flight and get anywhere in the continental US and be there in 24 hours from now? I suppose I'm asking, in what ways is the shortage presenting in a way practically visible to t

People say it's impossible to negotiate prices at modern grocery chains. They only had brand name lactose supplements. The manager gave me a hard time about it, I asked about a price matching policy, shrugged, and let me pay the generi

And if you're an hour away from being in the operating theater, and they have all the specialists there, and in that moment you choose not to sign-- it's more their problem than yours.

You can always try a different hospital for better service. Of course this won't work in situations where timing is critical, but most surgery is scheduled. We might as well treat it for the business that it is. If they can't give

As someone who works on design systems, I struggle with the concept of consistency in MPA's. If every team has their own tech stack, you'll inevitably end up with multiple ways of rendering HTML: Java/JSP, Ruby/ERB, etc.

The best apps seem to be fully MPA or SPA. The hybrids have UX problems. It's arbitrary some things require a hard page navigation, and others don't. I mean, it's probably an intersection between product/engineering team

I took a break from social media for a year; it was excellent. Briefly after my return, I found out an extended family member passed away. Nobody would have told me otherwise. People will assume you're on there and in-the-loop even if

A printed magazine doesn't have the doomscrolling ability of social media apps. The same effect, but a magnitude smaller dosage.

I'm disappointed by the lack of mixology portion, because it would've provided an opportunity for a real value-add of any kind. I've had simple 2-ingredient well drink orders made incorrectly at my local watering hole.

Filtering on relationships is a big issue for us. Each nested node in the query graph (tree?) generates a new SQL query. We seem to committed to that approach at this point, to trying and migrate to a world where we inspect the whole thing,

When you put it like that, sounds like there's a log4j somewhere in there, easily.

It's probably financially optimal to put a nice veneer on an existing solution than to make something whole-cloth. They're running a business, not a charity, and besides -- as the consumer, why would you care? All you see is the f

I think I disagree with this. There's a cost to keeping the lights on and that's part of the subscription. If you don't use any electricity, your provider still bills you for the $30 to maintain the power grid.

I haven't encountered these individuals either, but they certainly exist. Class barriers are often considered in the abstract, but when it comes to physical manifestations of these differences, it can be raw and visceral. One photograp

Conservative echo chambers are just as strong as liberal ones. You best be towing the party line with your thoughts when participating in any political affiliation.

It makes sense upper middle class wouldn't advocate for traditional values. They instead put up barriers to join the upper middle class. The book "Dream Hoarders" captures this well (restrictive zoning, parents helping findin

It seems like a bit of a nothing-burger considering how low OECD birth rates are. More men than ever are simply not having kids. So if the objective is to create a stable foundation for the next generation -- and there is none -- mission ac

A lot of this discussion seems to be wrapped up in the idea that the lower classes look up to the upper classes. Is there any evidence for this point? It seems to imply poor people unable to think critically and independently. Yet, there ex

This line of explanation is an excellent example of when C-suite types walk in and ask, "Why can't you do {simple thing X}"?
