If you want to ignore that there's an inherent bias towards companies being started more often by people of certain social or racial profiles, sure. But you'd be willingly be ignoring it, and that's why systemic problems are

I'm not counting those, I'm counting vacation time. Lets say you get X vacation days right now, this means that you get X/5 weeks off. If the workweek becomes 4 days, while you're still getting X vacation days, the numbe

Definitely. It even has an extra bonus: I'd effectively get more than one extra week of vacation each year, because despite the number of days being the same, the one extra day a week would mean a week and a half extra off, pretty nice

Definitely crazy. I've been WFH for a few years now and I've created a method that works really well for me: I make a hard separation between work time and me time. During work time (which starts at 8:00 local time for me) I don&#

I'm not questioning that these headphones are a pretty bad deal, just mentioning that $500 is nothing special for headphones. Also the high end is a lot more than just pro headphones, in fact I'll go ahead and claim that most mast

For a consumer oriented product? Maybe. But if you ever look into high-end headphones you'll find that there's a stupidly large amount of models in the $1000-5000 range. $500 is a midrange price bracket.

No joke, this is the one thing I use my Echo for: as stuff is cooking I set timers for each of them and it works perfectly. It does virtually nothing else well but it's a fantastic keeper of timers.
