Define harm. Because without that context, I'd assume "harm" here is mostly qualified as "how I used to teach doesn't work any more". Not that that's invalid criticism, but it's very different from &q

Oh, totally. I've bought all my past cars used, and it was a perfectly servicable experience. But if you want a new car (first time I ever did that, long story), good god, dealerships are a pox on all our houses. And unless people buy

Your premium is paid by your employer. Please revisit the statement when you are self-employed. Also, turns out there is a deductible if you don't want to pay a fortune for self-insurance. Well, at least there is in Germany. And the pr

About 80%. Which is great, if everything goes well. But if you're in the 20% that get to learn via failure, the cost is much higher to you. One of the core skills of being a founder is learning when to delegate.

Manufacture. Not sell. Have you seen most of their dealerships? They couldn't sell a car if it was free. (Oh yes, I'm still salty from that process. Car dealership are all abominations, but Jeep ones hold a special place in that p

It's almost as if people believe in fairness and compensating people for their work. Also, it's worth noting that this is only true as long as we're stuck in the "must train on the entire sum total of human output ever c

Yup. That's where we fail people. As children. With "suck it up", and "you can't have a tantrum, you're grounded" etc, etc. Most people with anger issues honestly just don't know what to do - that&#x2

Expressed well , yes. Letting it rip, no. There's supporting research that shows that unconstrained expression of anger is not a good plan. If you want to trawl medical papers for details, this one's a good starting point: https

While I'm by no means a fan of the WSJ and its writing - my first reaction to the headline was "well, then you should stop writing stupid OpEds, WSJ" - may I suggest you're maybe a wee bit too far into conspiracy land? Y

Look, you might think this is cursed. I worked for a subsidiary of Capgemini, German ATC system as well, a couple years later, and I'd have welcomed a message router in undocumented elisp. It would've been a very clear step up.
