Isn't it funny how COVID has caused the government-inclined to want more government and the government-disinclined to want less government? Almost as if this complex issue about which we still don't have all the facts has just ma

Well, I certainly wouldn't do it, nor would I endorse it. But I don't think the government should imprison people for doing things that random people on the internet consider weird.

Oh sure, I don't like open offices, but that's not the same as 60 hour weeks and 24/7 oncall.

Sorry to hear it. I guess FAANGs aren't interchangeable. I'm at Google - have been on 4 or 5 teams in 10 years - and that's unthinkable. Thanks for the data point, anyway.

Google is allowing remote work, after a long period of being non-committal. Not sure what you mean when you say they "came back hard against [it]".

Sure, there are always other options. But there's also inertia - switching jobs is stressful and risky. Forcing people back to the office provides a push that might get people to think, "Y'know what, maybe <competitor&gt

I think it's common for Congress to vote on legislation thousands of pages long well before any of them could possibly have had time to read the final version. So this is, sadly, not surprising.

Why are forgetting and sleep relevant? If someone invented a pill that gave you a perfect memory and removed the need to sleep, would you stop being generally intelligent if you took it?

My interpretation of "growth" in that context is "incremental progress towards the next promotion or performance rating bucket". And it doesn't say that it doesn't happen without feedback, it effectively says

Yes, at least for a time. In general it's quite rare for a book to end with the protagonist failing, but in The Fountainhead, IIRC, the protagonist spends an extended period of time doing manual labor rather than architecture because h
