I disagree. It's a theory of others' state of mind, based solely on the author's impression, offered without evidence. It's pure projection and more a window into the author's mindset than anything else.

As a newly minted bad manager, it rankles her that there is somehow a moral judgement of bad managers. Developers, QA, product can all be incompetent, but when a manager is incompetent, he’s “evil”. In all seriousness, incompetence should

Often high school principal jobs, school district administrator and university jobs require a graduate degree, as a gatekeeping credential. This degree was likely created to capture that tuition money by offering the necessary employment c

I don't know. I find both Tolkien and GRRM excellent, but very different. I think it's easy to sell hating on GRRM as a smart take because of the popularity and spectacle of the TV show, but the books were very popular before th

Well the bettor losses are income to the book so they could be taxed there. The interesting thing there is if the book and the bettor are taxed at different rates. I know in some lotteries and sweepstakes they tax the pool, and so the winn

You’re kind of all over the place here. The Avignon papacy lasted from 1309-1376. The “Year without a summer” was 1816. The French Revolution was 1789. Your source on Inuits landing in Scotland seems to conclude that it either didn’t happe

Why do people continue to lie, or at least irresponsibly overstate, quantum computing results? Is it just a grift for funding? Or are they true believers who think with enough resources, reality will eventually catch up with their hype?

Medicine gets things wrong no doubt, it’s subject to various fads and foibles but the redefinition of a disorder because of a change in societal norms seems different. I don’t see the AMA voting to declare something that is a disease is no

Homosexuality is an interesting case. The DSM classified homosexuality as a disorder until 1973, when the APA board of trustees voted to remove it as a disorder. Is that a scientific judgement or a cultural one? I don’t deny the effectivene
