Editing is supposed to be a collaborative process - and these people are dead - there is no author to collaborate with - it just makes a worse product in the end (in ever example cited in the article) - a good editor can make a good work gr

Agreed, on whole. Humans need heroes, we need people to believe in, to aspire to - but we should never forget that our heroes are humans - and imperfect humans at that. One of my biggest issues with the new puritanism, is we dont let people

I dont think of Autism (as someone who has it) as a disability - even though it does make me different (normal people and their societal norms are often baffling to me, but I still follow those norms to the extent I am able). I don't w

A good editor can make a okay book, great - a bad editor can make a great book bad. These edits (as shown in the article) seem to do more to make good books bad - if the edits enhance sensitivity or not, is an aside.

Americans are not long winded by nature - The New Yorker is long winded by nature. Particularly when interviewing a long winded man, who is supposed to have met and written about another long winded man.

I dont touch type in a proper way most of the time I'm typing with little more than three fingers plus a thumb (two fingers plus a thumb on my dominant hand, and one finger on my non-dominant), but I still manage about 80 WPM on a QWER

Tankies are the people who I'd loosely call neostalinists, they're seemingly for a Soviet style violent revolution of the proletariat - they're also the people who are often reflexively anti-american, and pro-russia, because

This is possibly the most Japanese thing I can imagine - I both love and hate it at the same time.

Your Wwrk should be a passion in your life, not the only passion. People often assume that "work should be your passion" means that it should be the singular one. It's my passion, but I still don't being work home, even

It's really hard to explain to someone the agony of being hungry all the time - without experiencing it, they just cant understand.

We largely did. The long distance passenger train in North America is mostly a curiosity. Virtually no one is taking the train from Chicago to Seattle, even when the train is full, its to get on the train, go 4-5 stops and exit.

I've been an casual editor for over a decade, and I've never run into this issue. I've made substantive changes to either little known but contentious or moderately well known pages - and my changes largely persisted.

Last week I was thinking "I wonder why there's never been a reimplementation of Cedar or Mesa" and here we are with the real deal.

Bear in mind (look for my other comment in this post), I'm no fan of the emerging DEI Raj, or frankly the New Racialism (that race is the root of all problems) that seems to be developing along side it. But just like this article, its

bear in mind, Bari is not a neutral player and has an ideological axe to grind. Just like I dont consider the source for this (the WSJ Opinions are only slightly less unhinged than NRO) to be ideologically neutral.

I am increasingly skeptical that DEI programs in colleges actually increases Diversity, Equity or Inclusion - it often seems to play out as an increasingly tokenistic set of measures that make people feel good, over meaningful improvements

I could swear that the Prius was Lead Acid AGM batteries. But like, most of the issues I had with NiMH was because the devices that had the batteries in them had no charge controllers, so all the effects I spoke about were true for those -

Amazon is probably self insured and uses commercial reinsurance to cover what they cant cover.

Large companies are usually self insured by posting a surety bond with the state they operate in. In this case Amazon was their own insurance company - now if her insurer was involved or not is a matter of how she chose to approach the issu

Sometime you can get to the future too soon. Even if Motorola had invested vast sums into development, I'm not sure it would have prevented the company from being broken up as it was in the 2000's. Because only now, 30 years on fr
