I have had co-workers that got paid the same amount as me and did much less (and knew less). This happens with any job and is not exclusive to management. This sounds like /antiwork fan fiction.

"When you layer all of these facts, it's really hard to sign up to be a hard worker. It feels more like punishment once you learn how easy the rich people have it." Play the game, get rewarded. I've been a hard worker m

Do you really think that's ALL they do? My manager (who is the director of engineering of the company) does what you are describing and it may seem like a no-work job. However, he also: -manages multiple, large, multi-year projects a

I take severe cold/flu medicine with all of these ingredients. Without it, I can't sleep at night and It takes me much longer to recover. So to say it 'doesn't work' is nonsense.

So people are catching criminals on the ring (all of the examples in this article are either criminal or ordinance related and should be met with a call to the police). But because rich and or white people are complaining and many of the pe

It's not theft, it's counterfeiting, which is worse than theft. Why? If you steal a car, a company can just write it off. If you can change the market so the company can no longer sell the car, it destroys the entire line of car

The purpose of legalizing weed was for the government to collect taxes. Even if it was the same price as in the black market, it's going to be more expensive because of the additional taxes added to the final price. This is why legali

Because what you are describing is literally what happens in all situations for everything, it shouldn't even factor into success. It's a given that to be successful, there are external entities involved (infrastructure, people).

Wordpress itself is pretty secure. The plugin and Themes are the issue. One of the downsides of open source is that anyone can make a plugin and there is no minimum standards. While I hate ecosystems like Apple, it does have its advantag

Most articles like this talk about banned books from religious organizations. How about banned books in modern times from the left? Cancel-culture has banned many books that simply have an opposing opinion and in some case, replace it com

What bother me is the recent trend of putting people like typists at the concentration camps on trial. Most people, given the situation of working as a typist or getting murdered by their government, would choose the former.

Sam Altman doesn't seem like he even thinks about humanity at all. A person like this is very dangerous in control of our AI future.

This was really irresponsible of the researchers who only wanted the prestige in the security community. The company played ball and patched the vulnerabilities. They should have waited at least 90 days before releasing a pOc.

Sure. a 4-day work week, 40% raise, and an agreement the company won't outsource? Sounds like extortion to me.

Because the high price for name-brand clothes isn't necessarily for the quality, you are paying for the name.

Remote jobs are a losing battle. Companies may promise remote work today, but take it away when they see fit. I've been working remotely for 10 years. Well before it was acceptable (when I started, almost no companies offered remote

I've never understood the obsession with Aaron Swartz. He clearly violated the IP of many hundreds of people (could be thousands) by releasing content he didn't own. He also trespassed on university property to do it. From the s

I ran a small company for 10 years (I just closed it during the pandemic) and we bought lots of stuff on Amazon. The latest scam I ran into was that I would get a tracking number that matched my city and state. USPS doesn't usually pu

So the country that makes it's money primarily on Fossil fuels is now trying to ban anything using fossil fuels. Makes sense.

heh. I lived in Detroit for 2 decades (I was born there) and still visit regularly. I also worked in SF for a long time as well. Reply-guys being reply-guys.

doubtful? Have you see the crime in SF? Walgreens has to have nearly everything locked up. You are right though. It's not just the crime. It's because the current government isn't willing to prosecute criminals that are s

10 years ago, I was a contractor for a small startup using SCRUM. We had literally 4 hours of meetings per/day. Every other week, we had an additional 1 hour planning meeting. I also had to laugh when she decided to add 'water

It might be ADHD, but I noticed that most people won't be able to see an idea through without getting bored/moving on. I've attempted businesses with 3 different partners over the years and this was the result each time. Aft
