You have the 1950s approach: we hire a hard working person amd after 5 years of internship they will become great. Most companies nowadays offer zero on the job training. You need 5 years of experience for your internship. You are supposed

Why do the scientists velieve that using a "quick test" that checks only part of DNA is good? Wouldnt it be better to do full sequencing, instead of this ITS test? Especially if that part is mutating quickly. If they want to move

Any junior banker can produce a spreadsheet for you that will claim anything you want - it is called Management Consulting. Anyway, since you know better how those big companies can invest, you can use your own money to reap the benefits. M

> Xenon is unique among psychedelic drugs because it’s a pure element. It leaves the body exactly as it entered, completely unchanged. I very doubt it is true. The article poorly hand waves later that a brain without oxygen will starve.

Because companies are there to make money, especially those owned mostly by nameless shareholders and run by committee. And this "brand building" that you describe here has basically zero return on investment. Of course some compa

There are a lot of people who will pay a lot of money to show that they are better than others. Still the best shop was the one who sold stuff only to fit people - didnt have big sizes (I always wondered if they didnt sell big sizes at a pr

I was recently looking at a 15 year old manual for an appliance. It had a sales recepit attached. Despite being put inside some papers, in a plastic case and then in a binder (kept in the closet)... the recepit just evaporated. The print is

Bringing a phone to school is murder? Before smartphones kids brought (comic) books and read them during lessons, or just looked through the window and daydreamed. Or they would write notes to each other. Is that murder too?

The cool / mischevious kids will still bring phones to school, while life of the calm kids will be made miserable. Story old as time. Fascinating that people here cant predict it.

The PhD here talks about 1% gains, meanwhile some random website, windows process or chrome itself takes a lot of power - and it seems nobody cares. Yet it adds up too. Not only via ecology, also often poor customer experience.

Those wristbands are a great example of manufacturing non recyclable garbage. I understand that some fans might still want some souvenier, but this particular thing is an example of unecological waste.

The article is nice and so on, but as someone who does not know much about photography.... how to know it is not sponsored? Only disadvantage (fast shutter speed: sports and animals) was conviniently hand waved

Disposable garbage cameras aside.. World population was around 3 billion in 1960s, now it is more than 8 billion. More people means more plastic is manufactured. Note: I dont say anything against recycling, in fact we should do it.

It sounds that the neighboirs doing those calls, did it to cause problems for the poster above, not to be helpful (basically harassment via fake calls to the police). I bet they would NOT call the cops if real thieves showed up. Some peopl

The problem is with the culture, that the company does not want a "boring" product that can earn a stable amount of per year (say 100M). It only wants products that grow expotentially to billions. Google could still keep the borin
