History has told that lesson a thousand times. Still, there are ever new people that seemingly lack the capacity to recognize the lesson (my guess is, the minority), or, for arguments sake, chose to ignore it (my guess, the majority).

To be more specific, the article mimics the topic of a counter-intuitive "surprising" truth (like, for example the goat problem; or flaws in human cognition), while letting the reader down by making an obvious, easy to understand

Every company I have worked for has a certain number of people that are not capable, or willing, to leave the sanitary facilities in an acceptable state. From people actively soiling the facilities, to people not giving a fuck about leaving

Let Apple embrace this forced change. Let them squeeze as much money as they can out of doing the right thing. This is no time to be petty, it's win-win.

>Despite this, a 2020 survey found that 90% of educators believe that we each have a ‘learning style’ . This finding was met with much derision by education researchers. How has a theory with little evidence become and stayed so pervasiv

The yoke shape itself compared to the steering wheel is not a big problem, it might even help to steer corectly as in hand positions and overgripping for sharp turns. But the move from intuitive, easy controls to touchscreens is horrible. T

Of course, same goes for me, for everyone. I just hope I will stand by my principles even when confronted with frivolous amounts of money, but it didn't happen yet, time will tell. But I have it easier in this case - because I view sub

It's really as simple as that. The author tries hard to frame it as a learning experience of some sort, but what stuck for me was he could not argumentatively distance himself from the most obvious ulterior motives, making money, the g

I'm confident humans will always win against monkeys. It's just not worth the effort at first. But when the situation escalates, like it seems to be when infants are at risk, those monkeys will eventually be captured or killed off

It is an issue if you take leaded avgas into account. Not the pollution per se is a problem, but the poison in form of lead in the exhaust gases. Also, any measurable reduction matters, in this case it's even for free, the industry wil

Did you know "avgas", short for "aviation gasoline", in its most common use, is still using lead as a countermeasure to engine knocking? It means, the aviation industry continues to poison the world by spraying lead in t

It makes conflicts of interest a little less likely, but not at all unlikely. There are myriads of unsolved, ongoing conflicts of interest on any topic other than non-controversial scientific topics with broad consensus.

That's exactly how the emails come across, optimized to squeeze out the absolute maximum of donations without any regard to non-profit or, say, ideals like integrity.

That would be a good example of a controversial scientific topic. If there is still money on the line with competing ideas, different persons or groups of interest will try to manipulate the information to their favor. What is sacrificed in

To be fair that's quite a stretch. Maybe if the writing is on the wall, or floor talk hinted at it, but a mere 'can we talk if you have a minute' followed by 'you are going to quit aren't you' seems a little to

No, this is perfect, as a manager you can hardly "over-communicate". I wish all managers would do that and also reflect about their communication to constantly improve it.

As far as I know every mobile phone reveals your location to the owners of the radio towers and your provider. It is probable they forward this information to more parties. You can use one with a hardware off switch, but obviously you canno

I can't really understand the issue. Analog sticks for gaming devices exist for some 20 years, without much problems. Why are they having these issues now and why are they so unsolvable and persistent now? If it's related to wear

I left out the option of doing it on purpose, conciously or unconciously, but you are right, it could be that as well. I think in the long run it will hurt you to actively refuse to help your colleagues, because they are smart, they will pi

I firmly believe this is almost exclusively a didactic issue, ie. the person explaining does not or cannot reflect what is common knowledge and what needs to be explained in addition to the new ideas. This comment resonated with me so much

Of course you are absolutely right, as is the author of the column. These unfortunate design decisions violate the most basic principles of design and safety, 'common sense' and 'function over form'.
