People make decisions with their gut first, and then backfill their decision with "logic." We should be called homo irrational, not homo sapiens. Add to that the amount of effort we expend to protect our egos and it's a wonde

"Graft" just sounds like a restaurant with a possibly-punny or possibly-coincidental name, given its location; what's sinister about that?

Honestly things seem pretty good to me these days- airpods are magical of course, but even my Taotronics headphones seem to reconnect automatically when I power them on, and when I connect from a different device they switch over smoothly.

I do that; I ask candidates to code in notepad instead of an environment where you an compile, and it's intentional. Failure come in three types - bad understanding (failure to understand the problem), bad planning (plan doesn't a

There's a great documentary 'Birth of the Living Dead' about the making of that film that you might like. It says the same thing that this article does though; while it could be READ as a metaphor for white flight, Romero den

That's a cute as an anecdote, but in cases where the employee may be creating legal liability it gets more complicated.

If you don't deliver a critique with kindness then the ego gets engaged, the shield goes up, and the target becomes unreceptive. You become the attacker/enemy.

They are more than annoying for bicycles - they're an outright hazard for bicycles. They become slippery as ice when wet. A nearby bike trail uses them at every intersection, and when it's been raining I dread having to maneuver o

"The Devil's Candy" changed my attitude from "Why do they make bad movies?" to "It's a miracle that anything screenable get made at all."

Re: "all costs are the same as before" If you mean the same as running a Taxi, you're ignoring the higher prices caused by the artificial scarcity imposed by the medallion system, and ignoring the cost / fee for of the m

Make sure you foster a culture of asking dumb questions. It should be clear to all of your developers that they should ASK whenever they are stuck, or don't know something, or when they need a rubber duck. We have a "stupid questi

Cars are a tremendous waste of space in cities; they waste space on the road and waste more space for parking. They also destroy the roadway and (non-electric ones) pollute the air. Even if you like driving, you should be happy when other p

>Who you are in one situation is different from who you are in a different situation. This jibes with an Alan Watts quote that helped me - "You are under no obligation to be who you were 15 minutes ago." Like a lot of guru BS t

It's worse than that - the meat industry uses antibiotics on perfectly healthy animals as a growth enhancer. This is pure profit motive, nothing to do with veterinary care.

The state and federal rebates have made a used Leaf a great deal; you can get them from 7-10k. Great car if your round-trip commute is 80 miles or less.

IMO the killer features of the airpods are the instant-on when you take them out of the case, the auto pause/play when you remove/insert them, and the in-case charging.

I'm not sure your preference for running the gas tank down to empty before refilling it is more logical than her preference to keep it topped off. It sounds like you each have your preferences, and the tension comes from one (or both?)

Drivers don't pay the full cost of maintaining the roads, so if it's a question of which system we should subsidize, I'd rather subsidize mass transit. It has less environmental impact and takes up less space. If it's ch

Objective-C has the message-passing approach to object-oriented programming; all dispatch was at run-time, and an object could delegate any unrecognized messages or decide for itself how to respond to them. I suppose it's not "mod
