you make a good point. I think the 'vibe' is part of the problem. It's somewhat dishonest. Why do all companies need to be 'family?' Can't we just respect each other as we get the job done and go home to our actual…
what the commentor said, may not be true, but you didn't actually make an argument or at least back it up with anything. as far as I can tell, your comment boils down to 'hiring internal compliance employees/consultants…
good point. I wear my seatbelt everyday when I drive my car because I'm expecting a car accident. Strangely enough, it has yet to happen and I have yet to need my seatbelt. What a waste! I think I'll just stop wearing…
RE: Reversing Transactions - I'd call it a necessity for any currency. Cash works this way. It's a middleman or escrow who performs this service. Credit Cards and banks act as the middlemen to reverse transactions. No…
concerning 'controlled by a non-democratic entity' I'd say it's a step sideways. The USD or any fiat currency is not controlled democratically or by a democratic entity either. When was the last time we heard of a vote…
>I think the most important thing is not using Slack or avoiding Slack, it's building a culture that allows people to opt-out of it, without any sort of penalty, perceived or otherwise. The new book "Indistractable"…
I suppose it depends on how those programs are funded/achieved. If they are funded via something that acts as monetary stimulus (just print the money to pay for it) then I imagine there would be a heavy burden of…
wages seem to be the last thing that rise with general inflation, and as such don't rise as much as other prices, especially the ones mentioned: housing, schooling. I think the data bears this out, looking at 'real…
>inflation erodes ... wealth a good thing? > inflation has a cause that was #1 in my comment: monetary stimulus as for other causes: you are arguing minimum wage benefits the poor but raises prices as does increase in…
The FED did something different the last recession. The "last 15 years," as you say, have been different because the FED started paying interest on excess reserves. This is the reason for the new money to just sit. It…
>implying that moderate consumer inflation somehow helps the rich at the expense of everyone else, when in fact, it's just the opposite. it is? so: Moderate consumer inflation helps 'everyone else' at the expense of…
I think service for any of these companies is highly variable and dependent upon locale. Perhaps it's a culture thing. The USPS worker never rings my doorbell for left packages and just yesterday a package was delivered…
>paying the competitor it's a good point, yet many still use Amazon/AWS regardless. Netflix, for instance (AWS). Then, on the micro-scale: FBA[0] sellers (Amazon Marketplace). I assume it has to do with the ultra low…

hm, being 'more efficient' would be true if the ideal way was known. Waterfall would also be 'more efficient' if we knew the right product to make and way to make it. If agile has taught us anything it's that we don't…
to build/combine on two comments in the thread before mine: word position matters in English as you demonstrated. "A dog bit my friend" has different meaning than "My friend bit my dog". In other languages,…
