I find the "lock out and leave immediately" thing to be pretty weird, and perhaps US-specific. But! The Nordic approach is also bizarre! The norm is that employees keep working for 3 months after giving notice. There are, of cours

Looks like it's circular as in "circular economics". But that's a pretty tenuous claim -- it also looks like there is no re-use, which seems like it should be an important part of the concept. Presumably they're jus

Yeah -- they created a product offering that supports their weird worldview. It's perfectly legit to store end-to-end encrypted data in its encrypted form and then secure the key material in some manner not visible to the cloud service

It’s also obviously BS since the end-to-end encrypted data in their secret chats passes through their server tier. They could simply save it! The fact that they go to such lengths to convince us that they are doing a favor with their insecu

Yeah — but when I hear people talking about how EVs are heavier, I assume that people are making a like-for-like model comparison. In a similar body size, EVs tend to weigh more, due to all the extra battery.

I think it’s the other way around, right? Our common ancestors evolved high-melanin skin, and people with less melanin in their skin evolved to lose the melanin as a response to moving to lower-light parts of the world.
