The point is: would you be willing to risk massive fines and jail time for making unethical decisions to try to turn your $15k into $30k if you did? Probably not. But if you could move your entire life savings into a stock the incentive for

In one of my high school computer classes we'd often set up UT2003 LAN games. I was once called a cheater by someone sitting behind me who, at any point, could have directly observed my every move and corresponding input. I was baffled

I won't address "performance capacity" directly since it's too broad and vague, but it is plausible that there is diminished learning as we age. Think about learning new spoken languages. There's evidence to back th

A bet a majority of people making the "I have nothing to hide" argument actually do and just don't really think about it. How would you feel about a system that monitored your driving in such a way that every second you spend

It's more a demonstration around why changing your wall clocks in unpredictable ways (and to a lesser extent, changing them at all) is a bad idea.

I have this same question. I've tried using Tiktok twice. Both times I was as honest as I can be about my interests and both times it quickly devolves into stuff I simply don't care about and will never deliberately take time out

Why is this important? Affiliate revenue? The hard part is determining what the optimal product choice is, not where to buy it (usually).

What TB to DP adapter do you use? I have a similar setup (49" + M1 Mac), but I have a KVM switch between them for switching between the mac and a windows machine. The windows machine has worked flawlessly, but not a day goes by that th

Well I can conclude they're interested in tracking some employees and not others. Or that they use the data to negotiate rates with the vision care company they partner with. Or that they look for trends that change over time, or group

My employer collects "screen time" based metrics and working hours aren't part of my employment agreement. This is beside the point. Let's look at it another way. Why do you think someone who spends a majority of their a

What makes me not full time? Particularly if I'm producing the same amount as everyone else? The teams I work with span 9 timezones collectively, and that's when they're not traveling.

Yes. That's how it's worked for the ~7 years I worked for myself. I'm currently working a full time remote job in addition to managing my own company, and there it's more like 75/25 productivity/availability. U
