In my opinion, anger is an excellent short-term motivator. Jobs probably wanted something done that day or that week and had to get pissed to motivate everyone to work extra hours to get it done. It certainly does come with a long-term pric

It would be nice if it was that easy. Unfortunately, it's far too easy for HR to give the boss a pass, especially when the accuser is below them (and considered less important to the company). And it's not too difficult for that b

Usually I agree with this of thanking those who trigger us and showing us where we need to grow. There is a shadow to it though in that it's not always a rosy outcome when people are challenged continuously and in stressful situations.

An entrepreneur might make a few million one year selling a company, then almost nothing for a few years after if they take a break. Maybe average the last ten years of income to get a better picture? Either way, it's not perfect. Hund

Conversely, is it possible to physically or remotely access one of these machines and determine if they've been hacked (or pre-hacked?) and how long would that take? Also, does the hack simply modify the results for that machine, it do

As humans, we tend to see patterns wether they're there or not. Jobs and Musk are different people running different types of companies in different eras. There are probably only a small number of people who really understand how Jobs

Sweeping stuff under the rug helps in the short term but not the long term in my opinion. Compassionately responding to an abusive Email (even just saying, "I can understand why you were so angry...") might be the very response th

Many people can't quit because they are addicted, but there is an option to permanently delete your account and it takes about 5min. I'm not aware of Facebook creating profiles for people that haven't signed up for their serv

The article seems to assume the reader knows about "strong towns". If they're trying to make an argument about overspending on roads it's very poorly worded and organized.

Not the root cause, but I'm guessing a microservice architecture made it more possible. It sounds like both the token generating service and the video upload service have bugs.

Why have costly government regulation when users can just quit? Plenty of other online and offline ways to connect with the people in your life.

I'm sure Twitter and GitHub are close, plus any other funded, growing tech company with HQ in the bay area. Established companies like IBM, Cisco, etc. probably won't be close. You're looking for companies that are relatively
