   exactly. don't forget personality diversity at work too. I manage a team of border-line spectrum to extroverts. I love them all. Quieter ones bring a lot of values to the company, but guess who get all the recognition? Workplace bias

   considering how late they're to the game, how massive and dense Tokyo metro is, even 200,000 looks like charitable estimate to me. Tokyo metro has 38 million people.

   "The only explanation to that for me is that they took thermals as a subtle marketing feature" Yes. And it's not even a subtle marketing feature. Reviewers ogle over internal designs. But it's also partly in their dna. L

    $10 billion from $350 billion is 3 percent. That makes it sounds like bank is taking on some form of risk, but they're not. Sure, bankers are paid more and there's labor involved. But $10 billion is 1 year salary for 100,000 peopl

    yeah. they know shareholders will start punishing share price once they set precedent of not backing down under pressure of gov't in larger markets. They've rationalized it by thinking it's not their fight to fight, and tha

    Many companies are using covid as opportunity to trim staff. Since everyone is doing it they are less likely to get scrutiny and coverage.

    anybody know how many barrels were actually sold at that price? $0 is one thing, but I'm shocked at the minus $38. It could not have been large.

    This has been a thing for at least 15+ years. In fact, when computers were a bit slower, I would notice a perceptible lag in my mouse movement when this happened. Honestly, there are better ways to measure productivity based on other parame

    other mediums can look good on screen too. the biggest reasons is skills and cost. Very few people can actually do digital watercolor, pencil, oil, collage, etc. well. Those take years and years of training. Flat illustrations are no picni

    2) is spot on. This type of style is illustration equivalent of gradient and drop shadow. Anybody can use them to make things look decent without much skill. Also, for the most part, people who are paying these illustrators do not have tra
