Generally speaking, making major changes in our character/passions/work etc just to please someone is not sustainable, this is true in both personal and work lives. I am facing something similar, but from a family member. In my

With the amount of resources that Microsoft has, how hard can it be for them to exclude proprietary code that other people have stolen? I’d bet it is easy for them, but they won’t do it. Because they don’t care, because who is gonna take on

but I sure wish I had the resources to sue these powerful entities. I wonder if there is a crowdfunding platform like gofundme, for lawsuits. Or can gofundme itself can be used for this purpose? It would be fantastic to sue the mega pollu

My previous job - I had nothing to do. I was watching Netflix. In my current job, I have so much work that I don’t have time for eat lunch. Neither of the two situations is good. I’d suggest looking for another job. Life is too short to sch

Yes, people who want to commit suicide might still succeed. That doesn't mean Amazon or you or I need to make it easier for them or facilitate them.

There was a site that was making 50k USD per month, providing very basic analytics. This was in the early days of Twitter. Even if it lasted only 6 months at 50k, that is 300k , for a side project. It all depends on timing, risk vs reward e

At their scale, it is entirely possible that this wasn’t malice, just bad algorithms/poor testing. All they had to do was say sorry and fix the recommendations. Instead, they’re lawyering up for a fight. Just how much profit are they m

How about not using bundling algorithms for chemicals and pharmaceuticals, the entire category? And stick to recommending cute t-shirts and such? Amazon’s recommendations are mostly crap anyways, even for mundane, straightforward stuff. The

Understandable. There is just too much money and fame in sports - people are going to try to cheat. It is upto the governing bodies to reduce cheating to a minimum, if eliminating it completely isn’t practically feasible. I agree with other

Lance’s case is interesting. Cheating is (was?) rampant in cycling. As Bill Burr joked “our roided up guy beat your roided up guy, what’s the big deal?” I don’t think chess is as bad as cycling. Doesn’t excuse bad behavior, but gives some p

That was just an example. I don’t eat frozen veggies, I don’t know about it. Almost all fresh produce is expensive, except bananas. Organic is even more expensive

Produce is of lower quality in general, in the U.S. And also more expensive, compared to meat. I have never eaten meat in my life. Out of curiosity, I checked the prices of chicken vs produce. It was depressing to see how much chicken I can

The choice isn’t to avoid such people completely, it is impossible. The problem is minimizing contact with such patterns as much as possible, and this is getting increasingly difficult. There is a treasure trove of amazing stuff on Reddit,

I worked for a much smaller SAP competitor, long time ago. Our software was horrible too, but it was good in certain departments in certain markets. So it had decent market share and revenue. Fresh out of college, with a full two week (!!!)

Agree with what you say. But your job, however hard it might be, is more palatable when you have people at your call and when you’re insanely rich. Contrast this with the lady at CVS near my home - she is at least in her 70s, looks frail an

I wonder if there are groups of people or societies that reject this achievement stuff and over accumulation of wealth, in favor of pure joy and happiness and health. Would be nice to visit such societies and be a part of them

keep your expenses low is easier said than done. Things are different when you have kids, elder people in the family you have to support, than when you’re young and single. In my case, I wanna buy a modest two bedroom apartment that I can

Compute the mean age, and print it out as the median. It's much easier to program, and Mary Jones will probably never notice the difference. This made me chuckle

How do the employees not know, if the situation is so bad for so long? They know and they still choose to stay. So they are not the OP’s responsibility. Best option is to just leave. OP can still talk to the employees that he is friendly

That is what happens when they have to constantly write stories for traffic and eyeballs. Your story’s life is a few hours at best. So why bother being accurate? Being first and clickbaity pays the bills, not being accurate. The whole syste

Yup. This is why posts like “I read 100 books last year and this is how I did it” are just dumb. Took me years to understand this. When it comes to books, quality over quantity is the way to go

Why do we need to grow nuts and avocados in California in the first place, during a drought? It is not like these are staple crops and are needed for humans to survive, right? If tax payers pay for any solution, what guarantees do they have

Murder happens despite being illegal, and will continue to I don’t understand how you can compare murder with drug use (or even selling drugs). Nobody says “let me try murder today and see if I like it” but plenty of people say (and do) “

In the current Supreme Court situation, I am not sure if they’d strike down this law, assuming a case against it reaches SC in the first place. Even if this law is challenged in court and is struck down, it is still a win for GOP. They rile
