I'm honestly unsure if you're advocating for ageism or for people with many short-stint positions.

I worked in remote sensing 2012-2014 and we had an agriculture customer base in California. The problem I saw with nut trees, is during the drought nuts became far more profitable, largely because they are not drought resistant. So, a lot

I find that number dubious. I'd need some evidence that 1.1 million gallons is a drop in the bucket - I have trouble imagining that size of water, tbh. Looks like the Onassis reservoir in central park is a billion gallons. Honestly unc

That's interesting. Maybe it's the amount of equity that matters so much - it's been years since I heard this and it was an off-hand comment in a talk.

Yeah, I thought it was somewhat due to Stanford's handling of IP. The argument I heard was that if you're researching at Stanford and make a productizable discovery you can spin off a company no strings. I was at Cornell when I he

Tangent question: why do financial services pluralize index as 'indexes' rather than 'indices'? Throws me off every time, and seems to be an industry thing.

Well, you're not actually reviewing the product. Sure, I wouldn't mind a time series of the price history of an item esp in cases with large jumps. But, generally the point of reviews is to tell me about the product. I can do my o

Where is this level of brutal violence the expectation of public school? That sounds far more like an 80s movie. At risk of oversharing and personalizing, we attend school in Brooklyn, at a school that prioritizes inclusion of non-native En

My belief is that public schools are part of the foundation of a community. If you're not part of them you're not invested in improving them. And, I don't mean improving them for your child's specific sake, but overall.

TIL. I use underscores for italics (as my normal applications work that way), and have just been accepting that my emphasis looks like _emphasis_, instead of emphasis . Thank you.

I'm close to your age I think. Don't forget that well before Fox News there was a AM radio, and Rush Limbaugh was national in the 80's. I definitely remember how his talking point impacted my high school's debate team&#x

Thank you for this comment and the insight. I have a follow up question: even after training, is there a liability burden to ensure the training is followed? I know no hiring process is perfect, so you're always going to end up with th

I think the current WFH and restrictions are especially hard on the sales teams. No more client dinners, golf, or travel for a demo, and it's much harder to make the relationship over phone or zoom. Plus, the handshake is missing.

I was at a company that issued me an generous RSU package each year. Roughly $60k/year equivalent. When my department was made redundant and we were laid off, turns out I didn't actually have any stock. The account reverted to $0.

You should research the meanings of equality and equity. Equity is not a penalization for those with better circumstances, it is simply support for those that lack it.

That's because they make so little money that paying taxes would impact their ability to feed themselves. This comes up just enough I wonder - are there really people that wish to revoke citizen privileges because you don't earn e

I'm unsure if you're having an empathy problem or need to find a new employer, to be honest. When do parents get this self care? Between work, kids, sleep, what free moments are you imagining? If you can't fit in a workout wh

Sorta. In a family with 2 working parents, I've always been shocked that "all day" pre-k and schooling means "until 2p". After care is quite expensive and in our experience has a hard stop at 6p. It's hard enou
