I just learned this two days ago after researching the history of rice crispies on Wikipedia. Baader-meinhof strikes again!

I think that overall these are good numbers, but I have to push back on the claims about the 4-day workweek improving employee retention. I'd guess that the benefit is due to the fact that the competing offers would force you to go bac

I suffered whiplash for how quickly I went from "awesome, this person is going to explain some nuanced distinction I've never considered!" to "i don't think this makes any sense"

Seeing that all written out makes me think doing these take homes have made me overly verbose. Apologies.

Agreed. The title data scientist is probably going to go away and be replaced with more specific titles you've listed above. IMO, the emergence of specializations is a good thing because a) it means the data field (and the tools it use

For those who weren’t around when it came out, Serial was a genuine media phenomenon. I’d say it was on par with a big Netflix series (like squid game or Wednesday) in the sense that you would see it parodied in popular culture and could ha

wouldn't social media be a boon for the funny and creative as well?

i agree. i got my worst bout of burnout while at a very cushy job where i was chronically underworked. it took me forever to realize there was a problem because I had internalized the notion that burnout was another word for fatigue/ex

The "A's hire A's" observation is interesting, but would result in the opposite effect -- it would lead to Bs managing Cs, whereas I'm talking about a situation where a B is managing a bunch of As. Having done some

I was curious because I knew some Oneonta alums and had no idea that it was a party school. Whereas the go-to party school examples that come to mind for me are places like Az state, Colorado, Wisconsin, etc

Is SUNY Oneonta really considered a top tier party school exemplar?

I think this the main reason -- it really just comes down to the number of unique pieces of content a user will stream in a session. For video a session is generally one movie or a bunch of episodes of the same TV show, so you can sit in on

Shouldn’t the headline call this cronyism (appointing friends) rather than nepotism (appointing family)?
