- Comment on "Reality" is often thought as a paragon of neutrality, being neither good nor bad. So why is a "reality check" ALWAYS felt negatively? 2 days ago:
There’s an interesting book on psychology (by a nobel Prize winner) called “Thinking Fast and Slow”, Daniel Khaneman.
It’s called regression to the mean. It seemed that yelling after bad pilots made them good. Kahneman proved that yelling at them when they were good made them bad too. It’s just that great pilots can sometimes be bad, and bad pilots can sometimes be good, it had little to do with how they pushed them.

We sneer at it too, but here it’s built into people’s wages. If i could vote to abolish it i would
- Comment on Best way to turn off people and get lower tips 5 days ago:
Well yeah, if you dont declare all your income to dodge taxes, they shouldn’t be surprised the income can’t be used for credit.
It also depends how the company declares their outgoing tips and contributions (different in US vs canada of even states/provinces).
- Comment on Best way to turn off people and get lower tips 5 days ago:
Thats europe. In north america, waiters are paid below minimum wage and the tips are supposed to make up the rest.
15% i think is still what the gov expects for wages, so in theory thats for just plain service, forcing us to either hurt the waiter or pay the fee. It’s a terrible system.

I’m in Canada so left on silver parachute due to mass layoff laws.
The issue in most places isn’t the abrupt notice, it’s the shitty labor laws
- Comment on Report: Unity continues mass layoffs with 'abrupt' communications and 5am emails 1 week ago:
I was part of the first big wave and they hard warned us maybe potentially there might perhaps be restructing and “resizing”. We agonized for months waiting to know if it was our teams or no, if we had to look (this was before Unity nosedived and buddy quit).
I would have preferred it be abrupt I think

Youre just making stuff up at this point.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
dude just Google “flagship meaning”
the best or most important thing owned or produced by a particular organization.
Theres a company called The minimal company, their best and most important product is a small “minimal phone”. That’s their flagship phone. It’s not hard to understand

Dunno either it was just a joke, we all have duo to do!

Each fleet has its flagship lol all companies are flagships.

Terms have specific uses, let’s not dilute them to make ourselves feel better. Language IS fluid, but when people are obstinate to already preestablished conventions
Ok there why didn’t you bother opening a dictionary or googling it.
noun the ship in a fleet which carries the commanding admiral. the best or most important thing owned or produced by a particular organization.
He’s just saying most phones companies (of all sizes) have big phones. Get over yourself
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
This makes no sense. Large doesn’t mean fancy. Back in the day, making the phone smaller was fancy.
The minimal company’s flagship phone is a minimal phone. It’s their signature phone. The flagship was the ship that had the ranking officer/admiral on it, representing the fleet. Apple, google etc all decided their flagship phone would be huge.
OP wants more flagship phone, that is the type of phone the company markets as its main phone, to be smaller. It has little to do with how powerful it is (most of the phones are batteries for the screen).

What does the phone have to do with this thing that obviously wouldn’t hold for 2 seconds in a car in motion.

Right, because all vehicles are in motion 100% of the time. Everyone knows that.

Balaji was found dead in his San Francisco apartment on 26 November in what police said “appeared to be a suicide. No evidence of foul play was found during the initial investigation.” The city’s chief medical examiner’s office confirmed the manner of death to be suicide.
His parents, Poornima Ramarao and Balaji Ramamurthy, said they are still seeking answers, describing their son as a “happy, smart and brave young man” who loved to hike and recently had returned from a trip with friends.

- Comment on Can U.S. Tech Giants Deliver on the Promise of Nuclear Power? 3 months ago:
They know taxpayers will foot the bill and they will make astronomical amounts of money off it. Plus they get a stranglehold on energy.
Tech companies aren’t going to buy power plants and enshitify them. Allowing the tech giants at the table at all is far passed enshitification of democracy (and your tax dollars). They should have built the energy using the people’s money, and profited off businesses using extreme amounts of it (bringing a lot of dollars back). Instead they’ll use the corporate money to build energy, and profiting off the people who need to pay the corporation
