- Comment on Google offering ‘voluntary exit’ for employees working on Pixel, Android 1 day ago:
This is a pretty nice way of handling the situation really.
When you merge two groups like this there is redundancy created in mostly management roles, and they’re offering a severance package to anyone who wants to take it.
The alternative is just firing people who are now redundant. This is way nicer.

That’s a terrible idea that we’ve seen play out countless times now.
Here’s how it will go down.
- Fool offers to disarm in exchange for a promise of peace from the aggressor
- Aggressor promises
- Fool disarms
- Aggressor aggresses

Insurance companies don’t bill people as adults until 26 because our brains don’t finish developing fully until then and we make poorer choices in a statistically significant way until then.
So while the legal age of adulthood is often late teens to early twenties, the reality is you still probably act young in a way that older people pick up on.
When I was 21 I felt like I was an adult. But I wasn’t even finished growing, and looking back from 40 I was young and dumb and it was obvious to everyone but me.

That’s not really how language… or humans… or culture… work.

This is a common mistake for many native English speakers and highlights the different challenges in speaking a language and writing a language.
In many regions of the US for example, “than” and “then” are often pronounced exactly the same.

My “office” is a network of interconnected multi-story buildings. It’s actually really convenient for me to know if I need to go meet someone in person or just use video.
Sometimes we have a room booked ahead of time and I learn they are wfh when I get to the empty room.

The things he said about me and the place I live are lies and I’m upset, but surely all the other things he says must still be true.

Man I’m sure there is some culture I could have been raised in that would have resulted in me finding that appealing and all…. But I would probably vomit if I drank any of that.

Nice, more please.
A large manufacturing facility I do some work adjacent to recently installed a massive many acres large solar facility to power the plant. Hopefully the experiment goes well and demonstrates an economic advantage that incentivizes others to follow.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 5 months ago:
I once got screwed by my mortgage provider and was helpless. I submitted a complaint to the CFPB and they contacted my mortgage provider and made them make things right. That directly translated to significant money back in my pocket.
- Comment on Average Amazon user intelligence 5 months ago:
Yeah if you go deep enough on an item there’s a good chance you’ll find that it was once something else.
Sellers don’t want to start over with reviews so they just take a retired product entry and change the pictures and item.

Is this for malicious harvesting or is this part of their chrome device trust product for enterprises?
