Incidentally, it was GOP who branded the Affordable Care Act as Obamacare in an effort to make it seem bad. Obama never asked for or wanted that name, although he later accepted it. Trump, as we know, has an insatiable need for recognition

Having done a lot of online applications in the last two years, I often just pass up companies that only have their application on Workday. Workday is without question the most abominable of the online application systems available today.

Historical inaccuracies aside, when making a game it is essential to frequently stop and ask, “does this make the game more fun?” A lot of realism mechanics make gameplay dreadful, boring, tedious, or frustrating. A simulation is one thing

The current US “leadership” is working as hard as it can to prevent any progress and to even dismantle some of the gains we have made. Meanwhile, China has made the obvious realization that independence from oil and gas is economically, geo

But like many commercial activities, the full cost of the endeavor is not entirely met by those who will gain the most. In other words, the corps will get the benefit of lower energy costs by going into markets where their buying power wil

Yeah, the concept popped into my head a few months ago, so I went looking for a game to play. I found and played a lot of Vector TD. No offense to them, but while I liked some things about it, it didn't really match up to my memory o

Will not happen with the current administration. Like so many other big promises, it will appease a lot of people, but there will be no real follow through. Any regulation that prevents unrestrained capitalism is immediately decried as soci

Many of the crazy things we see happening today come from the same root problem: the wealth of humanity has increasingly been funneled into the hands of a few. These may be mostly companies rather than individuals, but they are a proxy for

This seems like an intentionally misleading title, since they don't mention that the study was for one county (Montgomery County) in Ohio, which is basically just Dayton, OH and surrounding rural area - < 600k people. I'm sure

Living in close proximity is one thing, but growing them at the speed and scale which we do with factory farming must massively increase the rate of development of viruses. It’s almost as if we designed a special program just to develop a

Interviews allow just a little time for strangers to attempt to sync up and get a sense of each other. Actual jobs offer much more time for people to learn to sync and communicate. Also, on both sides of the interview table, people have var

The normalization of deviancy has reached the point where nothing matters. How many times since 2015 has the word “unprecedented” been used in association with something he was involved in?

This is how paid placements work, and it's in the app stores as well. And yes, _most_ people will just click on one of those top 3 links, not realizing that they are not going where they might have hoped to go. What's worse is tha

The two main premises here are flawed. 1. We don't push the joystick up or down. We push forward or pull backward. Our control devices are usually on a plane approximately parallel to the ground. Therefore, we push forward or pull b

Nope. While the blockchain craze was less meaningful and slightly less annoying, it died down. This will too (even though there's more actual value hiding in corners). There are certainly periods where one concept is "viral&quot
