I quit my BigTech job and all social media. Something I said was misinterpreted as condescending to a female colleague and I was reprimanded by HR. Within a year she made the same complaint against everyone else in the office but by that t

I wonder how much of personality is genetic and largely out of the control of the person. I know mine is. I have two separate anxiety mutations - basically high functioning autism. I often find myself accidentally offending people. I preemp

Clearly they need a seasonal workers visa program like what farmers have. There are many people south of the boarder who are not afraid of a hard days work. Something must be done about this unskilled labor shortage. /sarc I’m one of t

Unfortunately they are very slow learners and by the time they figure it out a lot of damage has been done.

An irony that is not lost on me is that high achievers often have their own problems that they would know about if they and society wasn’t so keen to dismiss the problems of others. I was told I was lazy when I couldn’t keep up with the oth

Check yourself medically; you might have hEDS, or some other hormonal problem. It’s much more prevalent than people think. Check T3 thyroid for sub clinical, check your Testosterone (female and males). Check for post exertion fatigue by exe

We literally are talking knives on RC planes; see the comment I originally replied to. You are moving the goal posts. A quad will tumble with the motors off, the whole thing is a significant lift force. It was a big problem in early control

Ardupilot will not hit a human size target. People can barely do it. You're not going to lob a tumbling quad at a target with any accuracy that's a joke. To do this with any reliability you need custom software and probably hardwa

Off the shelf RC airplanes have terrible unpowered terminal velocity. You'd have to custom build to get anything decent. Which is more difficult than strapping a knife to a RC plane.

Yup; I’m starting out with BPC-157 and TB-4 in an oral form, before adding hGH injections later so I can tell which does what. Maybe a supplemental amount of testosterone after that. The hGH will help tethered cord syndrome which I don’t ha

That's rough. Women have a much harder time with hEDS. I use Low Dose Naltrexone for the brain fog. It is not without its side effects but it works for me. I've been on it for 5 years for CFS before I knew it was for hEDS and woul

Not OP; but have hEDS. CFS with brain fog is the most disabling part. Chronic back pain is the second. Post exertion malease means if I accidentally overexert myself I can be stuck in bed for days recovering. Bad posture due to loose ligame

I have this as well - I only found out a month ago after decades of searching and dozens of doctors, hundreds of tests, across 4 countries, all telling me there is nothing wrong. It should have been super obvious in retrospect. The vast maj

I’m guessing the primary use of this data will be for US pharmaceutical companies to find out exactly how much the UK market is worth so they know how much they can pay lobbyists to put pressure on Uk-US trade negotiations.

I wonder how much Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) is a drag on the economy. A SA company wanted to sell my software locally but the BBBEE and other taxes killed it.

I’ve been looking for ways to better treat hEDS. I’ve started researching how to fix mitochondrial damage. I’ll look into this. Thanks.

I think most people don't understand how dirty the business world is. Lots of customers and vendors will deny delay and defend out of force of habit alone. I've had to threaten lawsuits a number of time. It was obvious I'd wi

Ok down-voters. I left the search industry over my refusal to participate in search manipulation. So which part are you down-voting. The idea that it exists? or do you think I'm some alt-right conspiracy nut? I'd actually like to

I'd expect it's because ad growth is disappointing and paid search manipulation isn't the money earner they hoped for.

It's about internal power, even at the expense of the companies wellbeing. These layoffs were in the context of a larger set of layoffs that Satya undertook as his first big move at MS. Satya was getting across the board pushback from

This was Satya sending the strong message that no-one is untouchable and everyone must get inline or they will be next. It's actually a common strategy that requires the victims to be their best people. Obviously you can't to this

The problem isn't that police are getting better at enforcement (rec drug laws) the problem is that it's illegal and enforcement is discretionary. If everyone who did rec drugs was immediately arrested it would quickly become lega
