   One question I always ask in an interview, often of multiple people: "If you could change one thing about this company, what would it be?" I always find the answers telling--not just for what it reveals about the company, but th

   Goodreads is owned by Amazon. It's sole purpose is to drive customers to Amazon, not provide a 'delightful user experience' outside that goal. That's why they bought it.

   I believe it is, as does the USDA: https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/crops/corn-and-other-feedgra... Ethanol is a factor, but again--most production overwhelmingly ends up as livestock feed (as the USDA points out)

   Yes. But most of the crop grown in that 'corn belt' is not for human consumption, it's for feeding livestock. We're destroying farmland to feed our need for meat. The rest of the crop in the Corn Belt--soybeans--is mostl

   "The best product and engineering teams understand their users deeply and are familiar with how their product should work." Surely not. And ironically, it seems the writer is describing a developer-centric view, not a user-centr

    Microsoft gets a lot of things right about hardware--but in the end, this is a Microsoft device, built to run Microsoft Windows, Microsoft software, and collect the living shit out of as much data about you as possible.

    I don't think the article explicitly mentions it, but Adams was a rabid Mac fan, and arguably the first in the UK to buy one in 1984. This page ( https://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~rwest/wikispeedia/wpcd/wp/d&

    TL;DR: We have two primary findings. First, our estimates show no effect of LEED certification on average energy consumption measured in kBTUs/ft2. Second, the absence ofan effect seems to be driven by trade-offs across LEED attribut

    I think England has a much longer history of habitation, and so it's understandable that deforestation is more extensive (thousands of years vs. hundreds). Here's an article I like about that process in England: https:/&#x2F

    Several years ago, I was curious about how 'bare' England looked compared to my country (the US is ~36% forested). It turns out that <10% of England is forested. The long history of deforestation in England is even worse than i

    I can't seem to find the case for treating some users one way, and some users another. Also can't determine how a 'leader' will be concisely defined and vetted.
