   I've read that it's considered perfectly OK to ask someone's salary in China, so it's interesting that asking a person's birth year would be sensitive.

    I think people greatly overestimate the importance of respectability and majority approval in mass protest movements. The protest has to be disruptive enough to affect the powerful, and approachable enough for sufficient people to join. For

    Maybe someone can help me wrap my head around this in a different way, because here's how I see it. If these tools are really making people so productive, shouldn't it be painfully obvious in companies' output? For example, i
