(Most) managers hate meetings just as much as you, and they're not wasting money for the fun of it. Every technical manager has inherited problems because someone at some point tried to save money by hiring a random dude on the cheap

I read the posted paper. Please point out where the authors factor in improvements to how we elicit, diagnose, and catalog mental health problems today. I was specifically looking for it and couldn't find it. The paper mentions the his

This sounds like how a bunch of old dudes on HN see the "teenager world," with very adult interpretations. I also have teenagers and have worked in schools. I think there are two truths that this comment overlooks; 1) today's

I agree there's a gradient for this stuff. This is all the way at the end, beyond the point of uselessness.

I just took the test from their provided link (eclecticenergies.com) and it is 100% woo. Spiritual chakra energy lifeforce crystals woo. That site should not be used, at least not directly, by anybody in a professional managerial setting.

Nearly all of classical music was sponsored by and produced for wealthy patrons. Is that cultural pollution too?

I'm not aware of that term being propogandist. Maybe I heard it somewhere, definitely possible. Do you object to the image? It seems perfectly fitting which is why I used the word.

Does free speech require a company to give me a megaphone to their private platform and users? Does twitter not have a right to exercise their speech?

I don't think it's an exclusively bad practice, especially at larger organizations where cliques and silos are deeply entrenched. It can be hard to retain good people when every opportunity is spoken for by the director's bud

I'm not affiliated but if anyone is looking for BPMN diagramming I've found cawemo.com to be the best option out there. Lightweight, simple, online, free, and can be used for downstream automation.

Nobody is getting cancelled for having a different opinion on tax rates or foreign policy. There are very specific and narrow types of speech that lead to 'cancellation,' and it's almost always speech that attacks people&#x27

Doesn't your linked article counter that argument? Both the head of Samsung and a former president of SK received prison time for bribery. That seems big. I'm not knowledgeable about the full scope of the corruption, but based on

On the R side, he points to the total collapse of the American republic. On the D side he points to a guy that wrote a book he didn't like. That is equating them. He is presenting the chief arguments why neither faction represents him,

Seems a bit silly that the author dedicates an inch of column space to the perils he sees would "destroy the foundation of the republic," then dedicates the remaining article equating this existential danger to relatively low-stak
