Performance reviews aren't bullshit - it's crucial to have an objective (as objective as possible) system for measuring performance both to reward your high performers and to understand your low performers whether to provide suppo

Society, in its grand equality, gives rich and poor alike the ability to spend their money on billboards and full page ads. This is ignoring all of the actual algorithm changes and Elon-induced censorship of specific topics on Twitter that

You don't have to expect pics for someone asking for pictures of your tits to be harassment. If I yell at a random woman "show me your tits" I do not expect her to do it, but I'm harassing her. And no, I'm not missi

You disagree that "if you didn't pretend to be white and male, there was a constant stream of abuse" and your counterargument is....that anyone who claimed to be a woman would be subjected to sexual harassment? It's a bo

The Mustang is a RWD coupe with the height of a car, not an SUV. It is intended to be affordable for a performance vehicle. The Mach-E has 4 doors, AWD, and is nearly a foot taller than the current Mustang. Its base MSRP is $10k (more than

This isn't about people speaking candidly. It's about not hurting the feelings of people who do and work on bad things and allowing them to still get invited to events without fearing any consequences for their actions. It's

AI technology is dramatically accelerating these trends and enabling new ways and is itself a problem. There is a common trope of claiming technology isn't a problem that simply isn't true. Cheap and available technology absolute

These patterns are ultimately detrimental to team/community building, however. You see it in software as well: As a manager in calibration meetings, I have repeatedly seen how it is harder to convince a committee to promote/give a

The mere existence of short term rentals is a societal and neighborhood-level problems. Banning the behaviors requires enforcement every time. It means someone has to sit around, suffer the problem, document it, go through processes to crea

Suburbs are pyramid schemes that are already beginning to collapse. Infrastructure costs are unsustainably high without density and plenty of cities are going bankrupt when it comes time to replace sewers etc.

Replication should have nothing to do with it. If plotting to kill thousands is evil and should lead to an international manhunt to bring you into custody or kill you, plotting to kill tens of thousands should have consequences at least as

It's truly been fascinating watching the dialogue over some of the recent issues. As a thought experiment: millions of Americans wished for the death of Osama Bin Laden and cheered about his death. Bin Laden plotted and oversaw plans

Design docs are much easier to be reviewed. Throwaway code/a prototype is a huge amount of content where it's easy to miss things. When I go back to understand a component, I want to know why the decisions were made. A well writte

Track saws struggle with any repeated cuts. I recently made a cutting board with many tiny pieces - 0.5" square, several hundred of them. With a table saw it's "run pieces through, rotate 90 degrees, run pieces through"

They're very different tools, and neither is inherently safe. You can absolutely have kickback-like issues with a track saw if you're not careful when making plunge cuts, for instance. A track saw is more convenient and arguably s

I do not believe this Federal Reserve study can classify such things. It either has a metric which is so incorrect as to be worthless or a biased human judging a dataset so small as to be worthless. There are families which cram 3 generatio

Doubtful. What metric determines between a "big house" or a "necessary house"? $400000 will buy you 3 bedrooms in some areas and not even an EPA-condemned quarter acre in some others.

Insurance companies funded the vast majority of advertising using that term to attack the ACA, and their lobbyists meet with politicians often enough that it's entirely plausible they coined the initial term as well (though harder to p

I'm no fan of Jody, but "greed on the part of the estate" misallocates the blame. It would have been trivial for Paul to, at any point in his life, set up trusts for his various projects - the LCM, Cinerama, the SciFi museum,
