But those "seven positive" reviews will still show up! When I was calculating the NPS scores at a former job, IIRC you need seven or eight 100% scores to offset one low score. Interesting that's what happened to the Desktop M

Yeah, I do and have done creative things and enjoy the creative output of others immensely. But given the choice, I'd rather ride my bikes, ski, sea kayak, etc. Fortunately creators have created some amazing machines and prosthetics to

Love this, thank you! Maybe they'll throw some distortion in and become a metal band? (Kidding, sort of.)

I had just such an engineering manager once confide to me that it was, for him, a comfy deal at his PE owned company. (n=1)

My two favorites, and I think they're a complementary pair, both published recently (2021)... * The Status Game: On Human Life and How to Play It by (the best-selling author) Will Storr * Status Games: Why We Play and How to Stop by Lo

This made my day, and the music posts - thank yous! But, didn't everyone think the MULE was an Imperial Walker?

Recently I was asking a former Amazon business manager I know about thoughts on leadership vs. IC roles, and the advice about a leadership role was: "You have to wake up in the morning excited about solving people problems with 'p

To your point, I wish there were diagrams "we'd" all use to illustrate any issue with complicated interwoven relationships that put the complexity into at least some degree of comparability. Ideally you'd be able to see

Agreed, and pleased to see this one mentioned. "Lighter" than the usual stuff that gets lauded as great sci-fi but very enjoyable with enough realism to draw you in.

Ha ha ha, coincidentally I just explained this to my son on a recent trip. There are seven levels of boarding classes for Alaska Airlines. Seven. Seems simple if one cares to admit it: Status. No judgment here, even though we were in fact i

I would be if the mobo hadn't died unexpectedly! Such a great machine and with 16 GB, worked fabulously. My work-provided 8 GB 13" MBP M1, OTOH, presents me with momentary SPODs at least twice a day.

Yup - I was happily doing everything I always do (as above) on my 15" 2012 MBP w/ 16GB memory up until some power chip on the mobo died. It was only lagging a bit w/ certain websites in Chrome. I still have three other Macs f

I cringe at this idea, and especially when it comes to human distinction. I see what the "media" (advertising) portrays as a beautiful human body. I look at the people around me. Not the same.

And for me, the rent ahead is not so "free!" Making money was ego and self-discovery when young. It's all-too-practical now with a degree of urgency I'd not ever felt before.

I wonder if others here found their mental age aging more rapidly after certain life events? The wake of aging parents transitioning (death, stroke/care home) has without doubt accelerated my mental age, which in turn has changed what

In Seattle, they're on Craigslist. The thieves don't even bother to change the background of the photo (because heck, they don't need to!), but hey you can buy from a dealer who carries a wide variety of kids/road/m

There is something about the Venn diagram of this e̶x̶p̶e̶r̶i̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ business that is perfect (at least in Seattle). I need help summarizing it: low COGS/resale value of parts/utility to channel partners/favorable legal con

Yes, this - and especially as a parent. No judgement here, just observing that most parents around me don't think about what a phone/mobile device does to their kids and what it teaches them about what "normal" is. My 1

Time value of money is not the same. It’s actually simple and elegant and flexible, and to your point, you want to see the borrower have a plan, so to speak. Or cash flows. Or collateral. Or all of the above. And still, you can lose. But t

Serious comment, no judgment meant or implied to you or others: As one who grew up without the usual structures of family or cultural supports, and who banged up against cultural guardrails more than a few times, consider the idea that book
