She was not provided with any evidence for the accusation. I believe her "I have no idea why" is related to that. For example, I can accuse you of murder without any evidence. You know what I did, but you do not know why I did it.

This has always been my go to and it works like a charm. I ask “and what do you do?” and follow up whatever they say with “that sounds incredible! Tell me more!”

You’ve identified what makes Facebook evil. If your friend shares two things, one of which enrages you and causes you to post an angry comment, and one of which causes you to smile gently and scroll on by, which one do you think Facebook is

I find my self doing the opposite. I’ll often create a Cloud Task that will call the same server that created it, just to make sure that another container will get spun up to handle the load if needed. Using Cloud Run this way quite happily

As Pinker points out in Enlightenment Now, progress is devilishly hard to measure. I enjoy more air conditioning than the Rothschilds. But I feel like they perhaps enjoyed other things that I can never aspire to…

Does your civilized legal system also force the inevitable loser to front your legal fees while the case is ongoing? Or is it possible the plaintiff with deeper pockets can just stretch things out until the legal system has bled you dry and

100% agree. I know many capable developers who will never do anything other than close tickets because they cannot build relationships. Some of them do not even understand why building a relationship might be fruitful.

As a worker drone who has spent my career in Sector 7G, I'm continually amazed at how many business decisions seem to be based on these "magic" quadrants. We spend 12 months building a capable and flexible infrastructure on P

I spent 10 years at a small (<80 people) CX company that was full of intelligent, motivated employees. We were smart and quick and lean and did very good work. But we never dragged in big deals because no one at the company had that swag

So, as a participant in this, I can either limit my comments to the currently accepted social constraints, or I can run my reputation, exempting me from advancing my career or interests. The first one prevents us from learning anything inte

Immutability makes social media worse. Immutability may make me consider my words before I write them, but it also prevents me from saying things I’m not sure about, from learning as I go, and from experimentation. Perhaps more importantly,

I’m not sure if you’re being serious or not. If so, your comment is deeply ironic.

Agreed. It is a human quality, not a Left or Right quality.

The antipathy between “try something new” and “stick with what works” is so frustrating because they so clearly go hand in hand. “If the Left wing or the Right wing ever got control of this country, it would fly around in circles.”

The primary arts centre in one of Canada’s largest cities spent most of last summer running a series of events where transgender artists presented children’s songs and stories. I can’t help but think that for the vast majority of casual vie

I suspect you’re right. My personal solution to this problem, having once run a left-leaning organization that was taken over by all the things you mention, is to learn more towards the centre. I’m curious if you’ve considered the same, esp

I realize it is too late to get rid of mobile devices. But I have long advocated for “Techno-lent”: a period of forty days and nights where you put your mobile devices off and in a drawer, you turn off your WiFi. Before you claim it is impo
