They're totally a scam, and it makes me upset every time a company brags that their insurance covers Chiropractors. No wonder it costs so much.

I'm becoming convinced they are saboteurs. See all the projects that descended into chaos over codes of conduct.

I am not certain ethics are universal. I think "The Righteous Mind", by Jonathan Haidt, does a fairly good job showing that there are different aspects or flavors to ethics, and that not everyone can agree on which aspects 'c

Exactly this! My political views may be on the extreme side, but I want to work with all kinds of people regardless of their political views, because it is humanizing and there is so much common ground. If ignoring a subject allows that it

Perhaps a shrink-wrap style TOS in my voice mail message? By leaving a message you agree to pay a fee per ringless message?

I've gone as far as reporting the numbers to my state AG, but it clearly hasn't stopped them. I get them constantly. I used to hang up right away but these days I try to keep the robot on the line as long as possible to make it le

I'm worried that behavioral science will be like advertising in that as people become more exposed to it the effectiveness will decrease. It could end up being one more thing to filter around. Maybe it would be better if we collectivel

Just this last week my boss strongly suggested I should stay far past forty because it'd look bad if only one team was going home on time. I've had several jobs where it was strongly implied I could work unpaid overtime or never g
