Such an important book (and movie.) In my other comment I discussed a class I was lucky enough to take in highschool where explored media bias. But, I bring it up again because I think it's so important that every single person underst

I notice you put "news" in quotes. Online discussions of news and aggregators are a terrible, bubble enforcing way of engaging with the news. And I would be cautious to call our online news (and cable news) 'traditional media

You're absolutely right (and also on point for why I prefaced with 'the contrarian jerk in me.') I think I'll email exactly this to HR now.

That's assuming that loving each other like our own family would be loving in a loving way, and not in an absolute deep down rage love-to-hate way. But yes, I agree with your sentiment. We're all just people trying to make it and

I just sat through a company wide "Sensitivity Training" at my company (which I'm very much looking forward to leaving, and leaving a review for,) where "We're a family" was repeated ad nausium. I was a little

I'm in Utah. I have a small wagon that gets 30+ mpg and and f-250. Do I need the 250? No. I don't really need the wagon either, I can take transit to work every day, or bike. Or walk. But I like having the 250 so I can haul loads

Oh, self dealing. Shocking. For what happens when this gets rampant enough, please see DOMO. Wouldn't be surprised if Neumann owned a coffeeshop or fast casual restaurant ala Cubby's and mandated that said eatery cater all locatio

That would raise an entirely different set of issues in Salt Lake City.

Oh man, the Nordic nations. I remember studying abroad and being the industrious-borderline-alchoholic I am, taking the empties from any classmate I could, so I could re-up the beer supply for free. Here in salt lake, however, we actually h

I could, and I probably should, but my time is worth something. For $25 I'd be doing it to make a point, but I'm not sure that point would actually be made.

Yep. a few years ago I signed up for a promo where if I spent a certain amount in the app store, I'd get a free chromecast. Never got it. No recourse available. At all. It's really strange that this level of "service" is

And real estate is very very expensive there too.

The OP references the Misemployment essay which very clearly takes this view. "He is joined in the misemployment ranks by people who make cigarettes, addictive but sterile television shows, badly designed condos, ill-fitting and shoddy

Do you mean code or zoning? Code is about safety, zoning is about... well, historically many things, some good, many bad.

This past summer I was looking at relocating for a job at article.com (they seem great by the way,) and I ultimately ended up turning it down because of the insane cost of housing in Vancouver. It would have been a significant pay cut and q

Chicago is in a blue state with a rather notorious history of regulation and local labor. Also, the cities you list have different seismic realities to contend with.

Don’t confuse privacy with secrecy. I know what you do in the bathroom, but you still close the door. That’s because you want privacy, not secrecy. (From I have nothing to hide. Why should I care about my privacy? : https://mediu

Is Github becoming a popular place for blogging simply because my coworkers will think I'm doing a code review and not reading about Neapolitan Pizza? If so, thank you for your service. It's working.

I laughed out loud at "mini-brand," as if the norm for a company in the mind of Silicon Valley is so massive that anything under 2mm/yr in revenue is "mini." "I'm not an independent proprietor, I'm a

This was my take away as well. "Shame" in this case is defined as independent retailers with "low quality goods." In this case, it appears that "low quality" is synonymous with anything not Mainstream Luxury. B

And your comment conveniently omits that ballot item was a non-binding opinion question on using a gas tax increase to fund education and public roads. And that it was defeated. And that a tax != a subsidy.

Same with product manager. Many descriptions list working with product management as a requirement. There have not been 425 product management jobs listed this year. Trust me, I've applied to most of them.

Victim? She's not a victim. She's upset she saw an advertisement. Aggrieved, offended, dismayed, rightfully very upset about the loss of her pregnancy, but she's not a victim.

Should have said, "Everything they can that's potentially profitable," but overall I'm aiming for pith over nuance. I'm not throwing up my hands, I'm here saying: consider the things you're letting into yo
