Yup, this happens. Basically just hiring people to take the fall. Seen this happen for teams where the manager loves everyone on their team.

The most absurd thing I've heard Stack Ranking used for... we had a guy who would always park his car a little too close to nice cars. Like he drove kind of a beater, and he'd always find the nicest car in the parking lot and park

My 2 cents. Stack Ranking is designed to give companies a lever to exit poor performing employees, with the thought of making room for more new ones... new ones who won't statistically, be as bad as the ones that were let go. Your mana

That's a whole other topic... how does she still have money? We know she's guilty of making that money from scams. She doesn't have to give it back? Pay fines? Restitution? It's just so absurd.

I wish Microsoft would just stop pushing shit nobody asked for. Windows 10 was a huge improvement. They were making good decisions, getting back on track towards an OS I wanted to use. Everything since has been nothing but downhill slide. A

Thanks for sharing. In my 20s I had a boss who strung me along for 4 years. It was a shitty little services agency building custom software. He would say things like, "Oh, I know I need to get your pay up... just give me until next qua

I hate how hard it is to do bank transfers in the US. When I was in Sydney, you just added someone's BSB and account numbers, and you could add their phone number and most apps would know how to translate that... and you could Vemno &#

The M2 Air has MagSafe. (= Killing MagSafe has to be the singled DUMBEST product decision anyone ever made. I'm so glad they finally brought it back.

People are more productive... Look at what people had to do in the 70s and 80s... You'd spend all your time doing math to fill out a spreadsheet, cutting and gluing construction paper to make a presentation, or re-typing a document to

Everything used to not feel as shitty. Like... healthcare, for starters. But it's also a huge one. You go to the dentist, and it used to be $20 co-pay. And that was that. Now it's like a $50 co-pay... AND they send you a bill afte

I know I just sound old when I say this, but homes should be owned by people. Texas has a "homestead" tax exemption that saves you 2-3k a year on your primary residence. I think up that. Make it 20k a year savings... people don&#x

And it is so hard to get back on the Disabilities list once you are removed. My dad is in his 80s. He has an "90% Disability" in the form of hearing loss due to being in the army and manning missile tubes for his 20s. He kept us s

I have a cousin who... lots of reasons... but life hasn't gone her way. She had a kid way too early with the wrong guy. She never had much of an education. Her main job has been working at hotels as a cleaner, and makes something like

My guess is that it's PR baked into the software -- at least the receiver software. It was a line written by someone who understood that just an error code is really bad for humans to read. So they humanized it a bit. They had time to

I guess... what you're saying is not bad advice. Maybe instead, aim to buy tools as cheaply as you can the first time. I think it's best to just get your tools as gifts, or from garage sales. But there are a lot of tools that are

I think there was a link-shortener back in the day (when people used link-shorteners) that did this. The exact same way. I can't remember what happened to them... if they went out of business in a month because nobody used the service,

I really liked Windows 10. Like I honestly felt like Microsoft had gotten their head out of their ass and started trying to build a good product again. Sure, you had to use O&O ShutUp (1) and block ads via hosts table (2) and turn off D

Fair... but the competition needs a lot of years to catch up, I feel. I had to use another map tool for a client in a country that didn't love Google. God... it was so clunky horrible. All the stuff I thought was simple, like dropping

So the problem with Discord is that following GDPR would just make for a really crappy user experience. Let's say you're a community moderator, and you type out the rules for the community. Well... now, unless someone wants to re-
