   I don't want my job to include voting people off the island and MORE office politics and meetings. Please no.

   I feel pretty lucky, meetings are rare for me, just shoot an IM. "I'm working on XYZ, almost done. What do you want me to work on next?" or "Hey Bob are you done with that test environment" etc. I might go have one-

   I wouldn't really call it stupidity, more like lack of information. If I'm never told that antibacterial soap can harm the environment, then I might just show up at the store, see that one seems to be "better" and grab t

   $100 is a lot of money for a lot of people. A lot of poor people do not have free time to earn it-- they're going to school and using their minimum wage money to eat. I slept on the floor and worked 16 hour days to be able to get my ed

   I think they're simple too, but then I remember working in tech support for DirecTv how many people just didn't plug the TV in.

   I had two recently (renewed, then moved states). I've been able to use my temp ID at several bars & also to redeem tickets at an event. Sometimes they looked a little unsure for a moment, but they shrugged and went on with it.

   I get the point of that, but doesn't that make it easy to "fake" a temp one because the temporary ones are really just printed on a poor inkjet printer?

   Same. It actually takes them about a month to mail the plasticy version. I find it odd since I used to get the plasticy version while I was there at the DMV, but I figured it was probably more expensive to have one of those machines at all

   Most of the people I have asked who haven't cut the cord say they don't know how to set it all up or think it will be more complicated to use. And/or they do not have internet at their house, only use the internet on their ph

    I do the same thing, 30 minute stints, 3-5 minute breaks. Occasionally if I'm really rolling I'll just keep going but I generally make sure to stop for breaks. The key is to do things that won't get you mentally distracted, h

    A good explanation doesn't matter-- users frequently don't even read the message. They just hit the button, because they just want to get on to whatever it is they want to be doing.

    Depends on where you live in the US I think. From my experience people in the city (with more restaurants around them) eat out far more.

    I've seen a few articles where people are already delivering drugs with drones. So...I guess that's already now.

    It probably seems strange to people without that level of workload, but yeah-- I've seen people have to do this. It's like that whole trope of "don't fix the copier, then everyone will constantly come to you to fix the c

    Well just making sure people are finding what they want is only part of it. Since so much of their revenue is from ads, the better their targeting, the more money they make. If they have all this data on a person, they can target on a per p

    That seems like quite a natural thing to collect to improve their search algorithm at the very least. "Are people finding what they're looking for?" basically.

    "the highway perpendicular" it says. Neither noticed it "against a brightly lit sky". I take that as the truck was crossing the street (from a side street) in front of the car, but because of the sun blinding the sensors

    Soundproofing is difficult and expensive. To the point that it's usually better to move vs doing that.

    As a person who has trouble focusing-- A.) Minimize visual stimuli in your work area. Get everything off your desk, and shove your face in a corner. (I've turned my desk to face away from the hallway.) B.) Take notes as you work. I wil

    But women are more frowned upon for being confident than men. Again, see this study regarding women vs men asking for raises: https://www.cfa.harvard.edu/cfawis/bowles.pdf

    Sorry, I went back and edited my comment but you had already posted. The reason we need to figure out the confidence gender gap issue is because it leads to less opportunities for women. Anyone who is less confident is going to have less op

    That's exactly what my post said. It says women can work on internalizing confidence, but we should also try to figure out why large amounts of women have less confidence compared to men, and work on that too. Discrimination comes into

    Women in general have less confidence than men. (Study: http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/psp-pspp0000078.pd... ) That is a gender-specific gap in confidence. That doesn't mean that there are no m

    I'm not sure what you're referring to. Women can have more confidence without men having less confidence. It's not a finite resource.

    Let's say someone is confident enough to ask for a raise-- that can be seen as assertive. A man can be seen as a go-getter. But for women, that assertiveness can be seen as bitching or whining. One of the studies from the article cove

    Thanks for this. I was having trouble finding anything discussing vocal fry in depth without having to pay. I see numerous articles on women doing it more, but so far they all seem to point to the same small studies.

    I've found most studies to be paywalled in general aside from the free abstract. Not really sure what to do about that.

    And tied into this, job changes are frequently said to be one of the best ways to get a raise.
