I believe there have been other studies showing people with a history of depression develop dementia at higher rates. There are some that have shown the structural/signal changes that happen after longterm depression as well. These are

Most of the highly qualified people I know in the military have went reserves or left entirely due to poor leaders or bureaucracy. At ta certain point you can't change the system so you have to change. I'm guessing the ones who st

They do a pretty poor job at babysitting too. They do very little to create a calm and disciplined environment.

I generally agree. However, I don't think most parents are neglectful for using a screen. The ones that can't be bothered would just be drinking, reading gossip magazines, going to bars, or whatever else they felt like if screens

"A working parent using a daycare voucher necessarily pays taxes back into the system and so does the day care." This assumes the value of the parent working is greater than the value generated by the alternative consumer spending

I fail to understand what value your initial comment holds. The grandparents of that comment was talking about financial feasibility of the program in the context of a proposed waiver. This necessarily implies that on-topic responses to tha

Yes, I understand that and still don't think that adds up. Things like SNAP for a family of 4 would be less than $12k per year. And that increased tax revenue would have to offset the currently working and paying families that will n

You imply an overall net netral to net positive. I find it hard to believe that would total $12k per year. If there are complicated n-order effects, then perhaps you should call them out instead of saying it's not complicated.

I find it dubious that adding the people who don't find it financially feasible to use childcare to cover working hours will generate tax revenue to cover this due to the low income and low tax nature. Not to mention the addition of th

"But doing so would not only increase the costs dramatically (by a multiple) it would give money to many parents who didn’t need it for child care." And that's the argument against many of these policies - removal of the need

I suppose if maximizing GDP is the goal, your comment makes sense. But if feel this is more of a bandaid of deeper underlying labor/pay issues.

I see raising issues in a postmortem or retro different from complaining, but I generally agree.

Depends on what they are complaining about and how they are doing it. In general, I would ask them how they would fix the problems they're complaining about. The first two steps to fixing any problem are to identify any analyze it. Thi

I agree. Although there are some exceptions, such as people in the jobs that move a lot (military, traveling nurse, etc).

I'm not low tech but try to be selective-tech. I try to use tech that provides what I see as a net positive for me while trying to limit the downsides. I do stuff like use a Pi-hole and VPN while using internet. I have security cameras

There's tons of fraud on the company side too. Ratcheting up the requirements only increases the likelihood of fraud on the candidate side since you now have more people who think it's unfair and are desperate. It would be better

My company is pretty big and we are hiring very few junior devs. The few we hire are exclusively for the leadership pipeline. Instead we are outsourcing to India. It seems to me that the plan is to reduce headcount through attrition (increa

I think that only establishes mens rea if it's not part of your normal procedure. If I always shred my mail that has my information on it after reading it, then shredding a piece of mail allegedly related to some crime is just normal.

My company had multiple call center modernizing projects going on starting around 2021, including many NLP based routing and task upgrades.

Until AI can understand business requirements and how they are implemented in code (including integrating with existing systems), it will continue to be overhyped. Devs will hate it, but in 10-15 years someone will figure out that the prope

I don't think bootcamps are glorified, but rather looked down on. I don't think I know anyone who has such a big ego as to say coding is easy. Sure, hello world is easy but that's not representative of coding overall. I'

No security, benefits, etc can be a barrier for most people. I get more judgemental about the people mostly lucking into wealth. Stuff like the gymbro type that land a VP sales role selling stuff that basically sells itself, or relying on a

Again, check the stats. 6% is higher than full employment rate, higher than the overall rate, and is above the median unemployment rate for the past 100 years. It would be even higher except the participation rate is falling.

Go check the stats. Sector unemployment is about 6%. Full employment rate is considered 4%. There are numerous layoffs over the past two years. It's taking people a year or more and hundreds of applications to find new jobs. The IT job

I've never really seen the distinction between data and software engineering. It's more like front-end vs backend. If you're a data engineer and it's all no code tooling, then you're just an analyst or something.
