Additionally, people's associations with Jira are not strictly related to the software itself. Jira is often the domain of PMs, management, and other leadership; if you have bad people / product leaders, you're used to Jira b

Huh, I've always heard the "heat pump efficiency > 100%" but never really understood what that meant. Thanks for the explanation. So the ">100%" comes from the fact that you're spending less thermal energ

I suppose the question I would ask you is: why do you need it to be a fiction? Why can’t you just… make it a new reality?

People aren’t buying gas or groceries with “cheap money.” Housing, business debt — sure. But there’s a long, convoluted path from cheap debt to inflation of consumer goods.

Yeah, that’s fair as an argument from first principles. But speaking from a more practical standpoint: we know, empirically, that there are a lot of transgender people out in the world. We know that many of them feel much healthier when the

If you want a simple appeal to medical science, gender dysphoria is recognized in the DSM-5 [1], and gender-affirming care and identification have been shown to result in measurable improvements in transgender people’s health outcomes [2].

Well, it’s not discussed because it is 100% out of your control. This is an article about how to shape your actions and life to get luckier; nothing to do with blind luck will affect that.

"technically not Stanford" meaning I have heard horror stories from 15+ fraternities at 5+ schools -- but not Stanford. So hopefully you'll forgive me if I generalize. Especially when one of the most widely-storied campus sex

Not all. Not even most! I was in a fraternity, and we never laid a hand on a person. Extremely strict zero-tolerance towards even suggesting that someone was required to drink. The worst hazing that we ever allowed was asking new members

It is absolutely impossible to take this article seriously, because the author refuses to acknowledge the un-fucking-believably fraught legacy that the Greek fraternity system has, at Stanford and at every other school. > Driven by a fea
