   Principles are always a privilege, weighing the consequences of applying them will always be a trade-off.

   The Milgram experiment[0] indicates you'd be willing to do it whether you were desperate or not if you see your employer as an authority figure. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment#Results

   I switched back to an old Nokia, use Garmin for GPS and an old iPod touch for music. Limiting my usage on my home desktop sounds like a good next step, I like the idea of limiting Internet crawling as part of time management.

    So let's accept as a hypothetical we do cap wealth. We all get to vote how much people are allowed to have. Yay. The people who have more have to do what exactly? They have to leave the country with the fear of extradition at some p

    I guess they should feel lucky you don't get to decide how much money they are allowed to have.

    You make it sound like they're holding out of some weird sense of spite. It's more reasonable to assume most large or small companies still using 2.x have not prioritized upgrading over, I don't know, staying in business? As

    I have switched away from all apps and mobile devices for anything note-related. I feel like it's not worth trying to adapt my note habits I've had since graduate school just to appease the latest iOS or App idiosyncrasies. I al

    You can go anywhere in Eve with the right ship and an understanding of the mechanics with different regions of space. In fact, explorers do just this as a form of PVE in hostile space. Creating Trammel for Eve doesn't add anything.

    The US extends the border-search exception to anywhere within 100 miles of an airport with international fights, meaning something like 60% of the US lives within a "border zone" as most international airports are close to dense p

    I deleted my thefacebook.com account in 2008 when the daily privacy rollbacks were the rage du jour. The chief reason was that 90% of the content I was seeing was who received a banana in Mafia wars, which in retrospect is annoying but rel

    When management don't understand how to gauge productivity they resort to this "ass-in-seat" metric. It's the circumstance I've dealt with in most of my software positions and also the source of most friction to WF
