Seems like much of the problem could be solved by just having the working world chill the f' out for women and for men. For example, a 32 hour workweek along with generous paid parental leaves. Everyone should have time…
In my job I see that the managers are focused on automation to cut lower status jobs but I never see them questioning whether anyone in the huge hierarchy of managers is necessary. I think this is because if they…
It helps if you work for the right company. Some are looking to bend over backwards to bring in and promote women engineers so they can showcase their newfound diversity. A higher up at my company was literally…
Also, driving in a car doesn't protect you from air pollution. Cars suck in polluted air from the car ahead and concentrate it around the driver and passengers. You're actually less exposed to pollution cycling the same…
In my observation, most people don't want healthy food. They want to think they are eating healthy but when it comes down to it, they want the fat, sugar and salt that goes into restaurant food. They want to think…
I'll take the extra $3k over spending it on achieving nothing in the middle east.
That's why it's quite important when you do get that high paying job to bank a large percentage of your salary into income generating assets. It's basic diversification of income streams.
It would be interesting to know if people, on average, actually do put those resources towards human interaction, and whether it improves their well-being overall.
For burglary it could also just be fear and risk of violence. If someone is willing to forcefully break into a house, they are probably willing to harm the owner if they happen to be home. A better example would be to…
My authentic self typically doesn't want to wake up early and go to work. My authentic self also doesn't want to be homeless.
From the EEOC: > It is unlawful to harass a person because of his or her age. > Harassment can include, for example, offensive or derogatory remarks about a person's age. Although the law doesn't prohibit simple…
Going to a work outing once every few months to talk to people over free beers isn't preventing me from having a life outside of work. Plenty of people skip it too.
Even if you didn't purchase all cash, with a lower house price you can more easily pay off the house early by paying extra each month. The way it works now keeps people paying monthly way longer.
In my experience, noise cancelling headphones can make noise issues worse in some cases because they block ambient/white noises better than they block voices, sirens or other non-repetitive noise. So it just makes the…
That would also be interesting because it would essentially make the cryptocoins non-fungible. For example, people might be willing to pay more for a coin if it was used in the past by a movie star.
A better analogy would be: would you rather catch 10 thieves who stole $10 or one theif who stole $1,000,000?
I'm a little confused by your comment. If his 48 hour rewrite of the codebase didn't end up working out well (and how could it really), why not just rollback to where you were previously? That way you wouldn't need to…
If you got time to lean, you got time to clean!
Illegal immigration and what happens in other countries are at best a red herring here because illegal immigrants aren't typically eligible for benefits and are typically working off the books. The US government has…
Don't forget to include opportunity cost of time driving when calculating the cost of your commute. Your time is valuable. I think you'll find you spend way more than $6000/year on commuting. If you value your free time…
Well, at least at a societal level because you want to live in a relatively equal society and have all of the benefits that come with that as opposed to a feudal dystopia.
That's the whole point of productivity gains... Either you're richer or you can work less or ideally both.
