Goes without saying, but "Don't google your symptoms." has been an unwritten law of the Internet since Google first became the dominant search engine. WebMD and its knockoffs have been hot garbage for quite some time now.

Starting a business has been romanticized to absurd heights in my opinion. Running a business comes with a number of legal and taxation requirements which can vary depending on where you live. Not to mention sales, marketing, support, etc.

For this to be effective, it has to be understood all the way to the top. The problem I see is that managers are often not technical enough and simply want to appease their bosses with something tangible ... or they are technical, understan

I’ve come across my company’s logo used like this a few times before on startup sites. It made me curious and would ask around if anyone had ever heard of or used said startup. In most cases no one had ever heard of the startup or they were

Trump wasn’t right by virtue, he was feuding poorly with Xi Jinping on the national stage at the time. It just worked out in his favor that TikTok could be banned on national security reasons. Ellison is/was also a Trump backer, so Ora

Wagtail, you get a great CMS on top of a powerful framework (Django). Best part of Wagtail is that it doesn’t get in the way of Django so you can drop it into any Django project with ease.

> Even unionizing doesn’t mean that developers suddenly get more say in how uselessly their time is spent. I mean...yes, at the macro level, that's part of the point of unionizing.

by gnz11 4y ago
No, but unionization gives you a seat at the table to negotiate the rules of the game with upper management. Collectively you stand a better chance than individually to improve the working conditions.

I have no reason to distrust Consumer Reports. Reported owner satisfaction most likely has a high degree of sunk cost fallacy built in.

How much of this is down to the editors and producers knowing only the MTV, quick-cut style of video production (which seems to have been en vogue since the '00s) and not having any mentorship or guidance from the old guard? If that st

I think it starts with a return to a progressive tax system with higher tax rates on upper incomes. In today's political climate, UBI would be dead on arrival.
