I'd rather be at the mercy of _relatively_ objective metrics than at the mercy of whoever my boss happens to be. (I happen to like my current management chain, but people come and go...)

It's not ignored. I don't know much about the German system, but I'm an immigrant from the UK and I much prefer the US system to the NHS, and I hear similar horror stories about Canada. Which is not to say the US system is

All kids are different, but FWIW, my daughter used to take our her pacifier and stick it in her twin brother's mouth when he was crying. When she was a bit older (maybe three?) she'd often give him the last strawberry or whatever

Because the commenter I responded to said he couldn't understand why anyone would do what I do. There's an implicit question there that I was attempting to answer. Good point about also owning the phone plan. But since I use Goo

Moron here. I work for Google and use my work phone as my personal phone, via Android work profile, so the work stuff is siloed. This means I have less than full access to company resources, but I don't really want to read code or re

FWIW, I'm very similar. I find that the light pollution of a fully dimmed screen in night mode, reading light text on a black background, is negligible. (FWIW I mostly read in Pocket.) That amount of light doesn't keep me awake,

I'm sure this was part of the original intention of whoever named them "Terminators".

Star Trek isn't communist; capitalism and communism are both approaches to the allocation of resources. Neither really applies in a post-scarcity society.

Not sure I agree. Some propaganda probably just wants to rile up the base. It's also possible to change which issues seem most salient/urgent/etc. without actually changing anyone's mind. E.g. Democrats typically care

Anti-Foos already think that real primary Foo sources are nonsense (and they aren't the target audience anyway), and confirmation bias will take care of the pro-Foos.

It makes it dangerous for drivers too! Lane changes and merges are generally relatively dangerous, and every double-parked truck (or car) forces a spontaneous and often unexpected lane merge. Sometimes they even force driving on the wrong

As a free market type, I don't see the supposed conflict at all. A free market is more or less orthogonal to the legislative process. Free market types should absolutely want the legislature to be careful not to adopt laws which subt

I've been a SWE at Google for a while, been promoted a couple times, been a tech lead a couple times. Pretty much always worked 40 hours a week, and I don't think this is unusual. There might be some folks working 50 hours, but

I agree with you about the horrors of the Soviet Union, but if you want people to know what happened, why remove a bunch of highly accessible primary sources?

By "power sharing" are you referring to Hizballah? I hope it's not too controversial to say that they don't exactly share American values.

Having been the CTO of a startup and then a SWE at a FAANG company for 8 years, I disagree. Being at a startup does indeed require a broad technical skillset, but being effective inside a large company requires a lot of skills (both techni

Other systems kill plenty of people. What I have to deal with here could be far better, but I definitely prefer it to the NHS.
