Mo' data, mo' problems As your data set grows, unbounded variance grows nonlinearly compared to the valid data. As variance increases, deviations grow larger, and happen more frequently. This causes spurious relationships grow muc

I'd rather we not get bogged down in downstream minutia. Instead let's focus on the fallacy in the OP's core argument: The original Treadmill Theory has been discredited--or at least fallen out of favor. Why? Because the orig

The author is flat out wrong. The Hedonic Treadmill has been disproven. Moreover, the author seems to be conflating the concept of the treadmill, with adaptation. The former denotes the subject returns to the original state. The latter reco

Do you have a reference to that? I can't find any evidence that Carlo Bartz engaged in any retraining of employees. Again, I'm not suggesting cost cutting. I'm suggesting a move from frivolous expenses, to those which help ma

I believe your distorting my original point, pouring your own prejudices into what I said, or I didn't explain myself very well. (Probably the last one) Instead, I'll just point you to Deming's work on management. He transfor

I don't believe that the "best and brightest" consider lavish parties as a deciding factor in where they work. Notice how I phrased it. It's not cost cutting. It's about investing in employees. That is something the

CEO Training 101 Multiple rounds of layoffs destroy company morale. Better to do one big one, and then hire back if necessary.

Lavish parties send the wrong message to employees. If I were CEO I'd say: "No more parties. We're going to use the to retrain employees (instead of firing them) and avoid layoffs." Mayer is turing out to be a terrible C

You're correct in attacking the math the authors use. It's clear they are bending the math to fit the phenomena. However, that doesn't invalidate the hypothesis. This paper appears heavily influenced by Nassim Nicholas Taleb:

I'm doubtful of this taking off. People stick with the default apps and settings. The average person just really doesn't care that much about this kind of thing. Maybe enterprise or businesses will like it - so they can avoid thei

Saying someone is wrong is not personal. If I say 2+2=5, someone should tell me I'm wrong. Your comment is also off topic, breaks the guidelines you just referenced, and doesn't belong in this thread (unfortunately neither does th

You're wrong. I can tell you didn't watch the video or read the link either. Watch the video. Read the link. Get smarter.

Your agreement or disagreement is irrelevant. Did you watch the video? Did you read the link? Obviously not. If you had, you would have listened to Heinz Kohut talk about how empathy is misused. Empathy is an informer for action-it has noth

This person doesn't understand what empathy is. Empathy is a slow process of analyzing someone's emotional state so you can affect it. E.g. The Nazis were excellent empathizers. Rockets and dive bombers (Stuka) had sirens to intim

This isn't disruption. It's just "make something that's cheaper and/or better". It's a 75+ year old idea called called Creative Destruction.
