Did not quite expect this question to be here. But, as a former Russian, here is my 2 kopeks. One of the reasons I left the country was the clash of cultural codes. I am used to smiling at people for no reason at all, which is normal wher

If the accident had not happened she would still be alive and we most likely would not read anything about her. Perhaps her life can be inspiring, as the sister posting suggested ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7244943

Why is that scary? If we assume it is indeed a matter of belief the 50/50 chance is not that bad. Now, I suppose both you and me think about it more as a matter of science, but how many people understand what science is (and why), ho

sometimes a good workplace cultural value is tolerance for your co-workers idiosyncrasies Very true. At the same time, having a boss with these types of idiosyncrasies is like seeing an exit sign.

Just one of the reasons service industries suck. (Especially with respect to software industry, but also manufacturing.)

Yes.
