lol our company (1k+ employees) pretty much violates each item on this list We typically don't take minutes. Advance agendas are often non existent. And we definitely put a premium on presenting vs written comms And yes it leads to a

If the website even lets you access. I use empower personal capital to track finances and on mobile they only support their app. And if it's broken (like it has been for the past month), tough noogies!

We know more now. We can better tease out causes of symptoms. For example, generosity is not the same as people pleasing. They can look the same, but one is born of love and one is born of fear. We generally want to help people experience

As a manager I’m going thru performance management myself. It’s a hard experience. What I learned is: you need to hold a high bar, because people can do anything to keep their job, and often not what you want them to do What you want is som

Yes, but overall job ads are up. Pay is going up. But specifically entry level is down significantly since Nov 2022. All of your points - interest rates, post pandemic hiring boom would apply to market as a whole. Not saying it’s causation

why is it surprising that Waymo costs more, and people pay anyway? Waymo is prioritizing safety over all things and is in gradual roll out mode. The easiest way to contain demand is to raise prices. and...what's not to love about ridi

Shh! We can’t do that! You’d piss off the republican donors. Not to mention the American public when their grocery bill significantly increases. No, it’s much better to go harass people who aren’t in republican circles. Us vs them. Round u

Bug bounty program appears to be an efficient spend. For a few thousand dollars they mobilize unpaid people looking for extreme edge cases and then surface these issues. It would’ve cost way more to pay an employee to search for this.

the idea is that normal business expense are deductible. in this case, your taxable income is $1.0M, and cash flow is $500k ($1.5M - $500k salaries - $500k taxes). now you have to amoritize it over 5 years. so your taxable income is $1.4M

I did this once. I was a RA, and there must've been at least 6 mini fridges left behind. I was staying for the summer, so I cleaned the ones that were salvageable and sold them on Craigslist. Earned some easy beer money.

Weeeell let’s see what that translates to today. Assuming 30k houses for 100,000 people this effort would have budgeted… $77k per house in today’s dollars. record stops The median home today is $350k-ish. Whoops, Congress better be prepa

Settlers brings out my angry side. I had a period of playing 1 on 1 with my wife, and she kept winning. That wasn't the frustrating part - what I didn't like was how early leads compound into larger leads as the game rolls on. So

Could be interesting. My main fear would be a wider variability in behavior, reducing effectiveness. Currently there are incentives against representatives acting too much like assholes - they would lose the support of their political party

I thought of that article too, but these letters are not really regret filled. For the most part, they knew what they were doing and ready for the consequences. Rather, they're grieving and saying goodbye to loved ones. And the author

exactly - how do you trust an AI to give you the best deal, vs slipping in a preferred vendor? Think of Robinhood and how they gave users more expensive trades because they were paid for routing flow. Companies are likely salivating over th

what the engineers did seems fair to me. The rule is 50 minutes, they booked right after, so yea the meeting room is theirs. The author of this story seems to be just adjusting. Like "really, we mean 60 minutes?" New rule is, bo

From a utility perspective not really. You need a safe comfortable place to sleep, a clean bathroom, maybe a TV, some space for your stuff and that’s basically it. The experience is OUT THERE, not where you are staying. So yea I’m looking f

I like how these kind of lists get us talking and thinking about our own experiences. What do you agree with, not agree with? “Those who bill by the hour work not for you but for the hour.” Strikes me as cynical. Yes some people can run up

“It works” is a rare example where the author deliberately kept the book short. I don’t recall how many pages it is but you can read whole thing in only 10 min or so.

I tend to forget a lot of things, especially good things. Photos help me remember. What did we do for Mother’s Day last year? Remember how small our kid used to be? Photos remind us. It’s a balance. Recently I was taking a video of my son

I get it, why a young ambitious 20-something would be sucked into this. Sometimes you just need to make your own mistakes to learn, even if you read / hear from others that you shouldn't do that thing. C'est la vie.

The need to dominate can be a favorable trait for success. It can also be all consuming that you can't easily turn off. Like...ok Zuck, you won the f'ing lottery. You could spend the rest of your life on an island or helping orph

Fun idea, grabbed my attention right away. As a follow up, I'd guide people on asking questions. More context = better answers. For example, I joined a jury. The question was "Should I go to Belarus?" That's so vague, i
