Yes it was. Thankfully there are people smarter than these "researchers" who just simply asked the guy what he'd meant.

As someone who can only deadlift moderate weight (405lbs) I can tell this advice is almost completely wrong for anyone except maybe a record level lifter. This sounds like someone from the 1950s saying muscular people are "muscle-bound

You can donate money to a cause you believe in and then deduct it from your taxes.

My company held an all hands and when someone asked about the salary based attrition this is basically what the response was. And I believe it. It certainly seems like the company is geared toward attracting mediocre talent for mediocre pay

I have pretty much stopped thinking about promotions within the same team. IMO you need much more work to change peoples perception of your level than you do to just interview and talk your way into an opening at that level. This is after w

Ubuntu is good because its popular, which means its well supported and you'll find instructions to get just about anything running. Ubuntu is based on Debian, so just about any Debian based distro will benefit from those docs. Fedora i

I wonder how Amazon's poor reputation as an employer is going to effect this hiring push. I would take one of those 55,000 jobs for a FAANG salary but only if I was sure Amazon wasn't going to chew me up and spit me out.

When I read these comments I get the feeling you're not actually open to suggestions and less inclined to offer any help. Your situation might be tough but everyone here is offering their advice free of charge so it would help to stay

Using your car horn in that manner is illegal in most places, as it should be. Shouldn't you be more upset with the airline for designing and selling a product that is almost unusable because of how uncomfortable it is? Are you entitle

I would love to learn more about this as well. I am working in data science and would like to switch to a backend web dev position. I work tangentially to back end devs and it seems like one of the biggest differences on the DS side is nobo

It's tough for me to put into words how disgraceful it feels to be an American when I think about the war in the middle east. 20 years and thousands of young Americans dead, tens of thousands more wounded and immeasurable damage inflic

After working with lots of different sized suppliers in the aerospace industry, the quality of your product really depends on your suppliers' culture. If they take it seriously, are willing to work with you and already ship good stuff

On the contrary, I think the issues you state are overblown. I have been using a 1989 mfg IBM model M for close to 10 years now and haven't noticed any of the problems you point out. No problems with fit & finish or longevity... I

Is there anything you enjoy doing that you could eventually be paid for? I would say that spending that morning time developing the skill that is fun for you could be a good use of your time.

I have a Pentax ME Super and agree. I develop my C41 film and scan with an epson V550. Scans look OK but lab scans look a lot nicer and are cleaner. I'm debating whether to upgrade the scanner or just send all my film to a lab. If you&

This may be the end game of JIT. But Deming and Shingo would have defined quality as "meeting the customers needs" and having them wait for parts does not accomplish that. Don't let the theoretical get in the way of the pract

This is my experience as well at a large aerospace manufacturer. When push comes to shove nobody wants to stop the line or take the extra time to actually do anything management preaches. TPS is cargo-culted like mad.

JIT doesn't mean you should carry no inventory or wait for orders. You should carry enough stock that you sell out of just in time for the replenishment to arrive.
