It's probably wise to take survivorship bias into account here. Also, I think the focus is on the wrong data point. Wouldn't it be better to look at hospitals with the best/fastest recovery rate? Or look at hospitals with the

I think the market tanking as a result of coronavirus is actually a very good thing in the long term. It corrected the fake value added as a result of absurd stock buybacks, and will most likely halt that behavior. If these buybacks continu

If you were laid off with an excuse related to coronavirus, I'd be willing to bet that you would've been without a job in the near term no matter what. This is a short term issue. Once everyone returns to their normal routines in

I want to say just let them fail, but that would make competition even lower in already low-competition industries. If there are bailouts, it should be in a form that spreads out the losses over time, so these companies can still operate sh

My guess is that most of the damage is done and markets will remain volatile over the next few weeks. Once they start lifting these mandatory lockdowns, I'd predict that we will see fast upswings of stocks up to about 80% of what they

I don't think companies are afraid of losing productivity, I think they are afraid of losing their grip of power over the employees.

We're talking about foreign agents working for a communist government's state-controlled media. So yes, the federal government should "be in the business of" managing this.

Couldn't he just show the police his exact bike route for that day? It would show him passing the house only momentarily. That's probably more than enough for them to eliminate his as a suspect, especially considering they have ac

If you bought a hammer 8 years ago and the hammer company had a way to "deactivate" certain uses of the hammer so it only worked in a few situations, would you say "8 years is long enough for a hammer, it's perfectly rea

I'm not sure why everyone is so surprised. Part of Google's monetization model is to offer developer-friendly software for free, then charge a small fee once it crosses the headache-to-replace threshold.

For my personal use I create detailed "How To" documents that detail the exact steps required to do something non-trivial. Others have found them useful when I posted them on Confluence.

Same here. I have a 15 month old and find that I'm slowly reverting back to my pre-baby sleep routines. I'm well rested most days, but when I'm forced to wake up early it impacts my entire day.

I think it depends if the job is a "lifelong-learning" type of job or not. I don't think anyone would say a doctor is unemployable because they moved to a new hospital every 2 years. I think software development is a lifelong

So it sounds like the salient aspect here isn't necessarily the type of data, but the manner in which that data is collected. Looks like compstak's success is a result of creating a platform that facilitates crowdsourced data poin

Micromanaging will just piss people off, and cause them to look for work elsewhere. Challenge them and let your quality expectations be known. If the work is slow and low quality, you should analyze the decision making processes behind how
