You have to make sure that robots know their place. Today you treat them too gently, tomorrow you have a robot uprising destroying the whole humanity on your hands. Haven't the last century of sci-fi books and movies taught you this?

You know, when I first time heard about "sleeping pods" I imagined some of cool high-tech sci-fi shit, like: - full soundproofing - your own microclimate with always perfectly fresh air and precise control over temperature and hu

I mean, it's cool and all, but the idea of giving someone I know nothing about doesn't sound that appealing :( Of course, I could make a separate throwaway email, but then the main benefit if this service (convenience) disappears.

The common argument against relying on natural turnover rate is that the most competent workers are also those who are the most likely to leave because it is easier for them to find a new/better job. So if a company just freezes hiring

I mean, imagine that you are leading a team of 4 people. Are you sure that you will always be able to accurately tell if you need a fifth person or not? Or you have a team of 5 people. Can you tell if you have a one too many?
