Has the term been used to describe some other behavior since I learned about it in 5th grade History class? I’d love to learn what else it’s used for, if so

The author's suggestion of a 'trial period' of employment might also be one of the impractical, costly, infeasible ideas I've ever seen proposed. Then the world of 1099 IT “technician staffing” and ‘contingency technic

Hello! Your point is well met. However, I would challenge this: I think the writer of the headline thinks that most of his or her readers are unaware of or uninterested in the philosophical connotations of 'nihilism'; to them it

This is a “fact”, you say? Provably so?

Impactful article that sums up something I think a (very comparatively young) friend of mine is going through following a divorce just before COVID hit Except does the title perhaps mean “melancholy” because I’m having a hard time finding t

It does, actually! You can select to see less from friend, see less of the account that friend shared the post from, or you can 'unfollow' a person entirely, which has the same effect but without formally "unfriending" t

Well there is the "Hide Post" feature, which back when I still even had a FB account I would use with extreme prejudice and can be used free of charge. It was quite helpful before finally making the decision to just leave the pl

Made a very similar joke a few weeks ago. I quote, verbatim, myself: "I can't believe this, but I actually miss when Facebook was full of baby pictures and food pictures." Finally just gave in and deleted the profile at the 1

I never quite understood what the value add was for email-client developers to use intermediary servers. Is it to gather usage telemetry or something else?

Absent any other details as to how Mr. Hastings has come to his conclusions I'm left wondering if “Not being able to get together in person, particularly internationally, is a pure negative,” Mr Hastings told the Wall Street Journal

I choose to see your personal anecdote with my own, if you’ll appreciate it as far as pleasant exchange will allow; the “unlimited vacation” model (or “Flexible PTO” whatever we want to call it) seems to be becoming less of a ‘hip start-up’

Absolutely agree. Should be. In your experience is it the case?

If that means the pace of developing new things for the business slows down, that’s what that means. This right here is what stops most companies from doing most things that benefit the employee more than it does the almighty “revenue”.

I suspect it’s highly team-culture and org dependent, to be fair. A friend in the American Southwest expresses just as you do: meetings have declined, “walk ups” have all but stopped and he’s more productive ever. My org? Literally the oppo

The nuance and poetry of this comparison to a favorite local diner is a refreshing breath of air and conjured up a very similar sensation in thinking about what the web is now compared to the one we had. Thank you.

I understand mods edit titles and have said so to “de-editorialize/sensationalize” them but I’m seeing a lot of purely style changes; capitalization removal. Some are changes entirely from perfectly fine and comprehensible titles that
