The Apple employees who I observed encountering Steve Jobs this way all left the next day and at some spoke about this with others and one posted on an internal message board about their experience. Did Steve Jobs attend all the tens of th

On at least one occasion an employee posted on an internal discussion board that they were offended and quit out of what they considered basic defense of dignity and protocol. In terms of the whole group being gone in a week? Sure, at lea

Admittedly I only saw Steve doing this like two or three times. The group that was next to mine was not large and was gone in about a week. Heard similar stories from others who observed Steve Jobs randomly talking to people who then left

There are at least a couple of suspicious points in this study: First and foremost the central claim is that 5 potential restriction binding sites versus 2 means that SARS-CoV2 is non natural. That does not necessarily follow. Just as SAR

The originally introduced plan was nearly a mirror of what is currently law in Massachusetts which does cover everyone. As put in place by a Republican Governor, no less. It is only during long and bad faith negotiations that the Affordab

No, her job was to guide the nation forward. She started by putting forward policies that were complete nonstarters including a tax break for the rich that stunk up the whole room something awful. Leaning this way or that is one thing, bu

Similar situation here with over 30 years experience. Early on there were some obvious flaws in my resume, cover letters, and interviewing. Some of that can be fixed and some of that is just me being anxious and autistic which isn't

You are making light of things for your own delight and political leanings which is exactly the kind of thing that leads to all this nastiness. The station you are talking about is multimodal and is going to get Caltrain even though it tak

Clocktower lofts are also very unlike currently vacant offices. Old industrial buildings had large open spaces that turned out to be easy to reconfigure. Most empty buildings now are more like 100 Van Ness which stayed empty for many years

Another good point of reference for all this cultural commentary is the Volga Germans. They were moved to the Volga to enrich the culture with their farming methods. Later most left Russia for the US and even today there is long simmering r

Amusing that this starts with a dismissal of the utility of fiction. Stories can be a powerful way of communicating subtle cultural artifacts and historical distinctions. Death of intellectual curiosity, indeed.

Measuring possible benefits seems like a good idea. Well being turns out to be complex with multiple factors. For example, happiness itself is rather shallow. Satisfaction is related but less fickle and may be more closely related to wha

This is clearly an oversimplification because the crisis of 2008 was met with extreme money printing which did not cause a burst of inflation and was reeled in with relative ease as the economy restored itself. If money printing were the v
