"What arguments do we use to convince these people that they haven't already heard from pro-union organizers?" Well aside from these studies that correlate unions with better wages for the economy as a whole?

Agreed. Sadly, this is stuff I didn't know 5 years ago.

Yeah, way off in the Bay area. It seems like the entire distribution is skewed substantially low.

It's one thing to talk about biological differences and how they may help shape behavior. It's another to use them as justification to eliminate programs designed to facilitate a more inclusive and diverse culture as was the case

The opposite was true for my cohort. There seems to always be at least one or two of the top students that are dead set on making as much money as possible so they take the extra time to brush up skills and projects to land interviews with

This sort of "analysis" is absurd on its face. There is nowhere on Earth that you would want to live that doesn't have a government that takes property by force and gives to others. Taxation is necessary to live in a stable s

Productivity. Functional programming is like ancient Latin to many programmers. The pool of people with prior experience that you can hire from is smaller and the learning curve for a new hire is going to be greater.

Trust me they're already looking at getting faster fulfillment and avoiding UPS and FedEx. That ice they package with is extremely expensive and their margins would improve drastically if they only needed to keep the box cool for ~12 h

I'd argue that they add a ton of value over grocery delivery. They're handling meal planning and portioning. That's a lot less wasted food and a lot less stress for anyone that isn't content to recycle the same few recip

Chili's is already starting down this path. At the location near me you can order drinks and pay through a device at the table. They haven't jumped in all the way as food orders are still through a server. Though, as someone who h

For Nintendo, graphics serve the gameplay. For most AAA developers, it's the other way around. I'd argue that if Nintendo were trying to compete graphically, the resource strain would greatly reduce the quality of the games they p

It's fairly reliable. Due to the random nature of poker, it's very easy to delude yourself into thinking that you're a better player than you are. This is true for hobbyists, gamblers, and professionals alike. Professional pl

Correct. When I last played for income in 2012, the site I played on had 1-2 bots at virtually every table from the $10 buyin cash games all the way up to the $200 buyin games. Around the time I stopped playing it came out that there was a

We know that there exists an optimal strategy, but that we still aren't close to achieving it. It's a zero sum game where both parties have the same lack of information and the betting order rotates. I think it has to have an op

Yes, your metabolism declines as you age. It's not that 18-year-olds can eat whatever they want and not gain weight, it's that 18 is the age where most people settle into eating habits based on their equilibrium at that time. As t
