That is essentially arguing that this causes a defacto 25% increase in productivity simply by cutting down on wasted time. Again I'm skeptical, but I do see the argument.

From an econometrics perspective, gdp essentially is a function of labor force size X worker productivity. Either this baseline assumption of economics is drastically wrong, this policy increases worker productivity by like 25% (which seem

I don't understand why this is a "but". That's the primary reason we haven't had a recession for so long. We 100% would have had one in late 2018 if there was no Powell pivot.

Yeah if they've got "zero trust" for their own teammates, they are in for learning some hard truths about team building.

I've always had a preference against working with microsoft products but this is getting to the point where I'd find a new gig instead of being subjected to this stuff.

I'm a pretty open minded person. I have nothing against what ever life choices consenting adults want to make. I'm just seriously skeptical that many people are able to get a good outcome out of polyamorous relationships. Or espec

Good to see they are at least making an effort to move in the right direction. I'm guessing they have a long way to go before they can deliver on the higher level goals here. I don't think I'll ever be a consumer of televisio

On one hand I support this. On the other hand, pinning one guy to the wall in an industry where every single person is doing this seems a bit unethical. The real smart move is to stay as far from the NFT market as possible because the whole

This is a completely invalid definition of a ponzi scheme. What you have described is anything that is sold on an open market that is not directly used by the first buyer. By nature, every one of those things only pays out earlier investors

Giving someone a bad deal isn't fraud if they willingly sign up for it and it doesn't violate securities laws. I wouldn't defend SPAC runners as good people but they aren't criminals (at least as it pertains directly to

I'm sorry but this just isn't correct. There is a clear structural bias towards medicating everyone who ends up touching the US mental health care system.

I had a similar experience. I was heavily medicated by 6 or 7. Interestingly also had the same exact issues with low height and weight. I think if I hadn't forced my way off of meds around 13 I would have been permanantly stunted. I&#x
