The consequences of their decisions and actions are significant raise in income, experience and exposure. Are you actually expecting people to stick around for "form's" sake ? Will the business invest in these people and keep

Perhaps you should consider your part in that. Or if you could have had a more positive impact on his life apart from kicking him when he was down.

You are assuming the supporting environment of the survivors will remain intact enough to allow recovery. That is a somewhat optimistic viewpoint. Most everything in the natural environment will be consumed before people start to die off in

You should mention this in your interviews. Keeping up to date with the state of the art is implicit for me. If I need to spend months retraining or up training because of company policy I expect to be compensated for that while employed.

For me it has gone into being 'Agile'. 'Agile' has been the largest single worse thing to happen to software development in my experience. It may be appropriate for small shops fighting for their lives, but as a 'wa

Great piece of work. But what struck me the most is how little of the real America is left. Everything is basically covered by plowed-under farmland. All it takes is Google earth and a bit sensitivity to what you are looking at. Humanity ha

Most working class people are both time and money poor. To be in a position to buy time back for a better life is a rare privilege, and I'm grateful to be in that position myself.

What about the gains from those not having to pay the tax ? Being interrupted and having to do context switches has a significant cost associated.

'sonder' means 'without' in Afrikaans. In Dutch, the same word is spelled zonder. A common word you'd use at least a few times a day.

To put your accuser in the nihilism box does not absolve you. It would be extremely unlikely for you to not be a active participant in the process of making the world worse.

This is such an myopic human-centric world view. If every other species had a voice, or an opinion on what the success of man has meant for their own lives, their own families, their own future, what would they say ? Consider how much man h

Struth. The Libs are fundamentally dependent on the electorate being swayed by the constant anti-labor pro Lib background noise. And it may sway only 3% to the right, but that's enough. 10 minutes of Friendly Jordies, 60% of which is b

Sure, but that growth and investment did not and will not benefit you, or most anyone else. That 'value' gets aggregated into a vanishingly small group of hyper valuable individuals. In fact, at this stage the meaning of GDP for e

Its almost impossible for me to code while listening to music while coding in a high-cadence big-brained language like Python. When I do c, Java or markup like HTML less so. Perhaps this has to do with the fact that Python is very succinct,
