This only provides a new means of defecating in or on e-scooters?

I can also relate this research to quality / seemingly-well-meaning managers I've had over the past few years. Managers who seem in control never pass off the stress of deadlines or crunch to engineers - longer time thinking about things regardless of difficulty result in better code and fewer potential land-mines down the road (even in startups). As soon as you deviate from that or start putting the pressure on engineers to crunch for a deadline you're asking for high-turnover and bad code that WILL cause issues down the line (many engineers also see this as a direct attack on their ability to uphold their quality of work).
This article wreaks of a bizarre misdirected form of moral superiority and relativism....
Except for the fact that poor people aren't the ones driving up demand or prices for decent housing...
Just as many imply money with power and evil - but seem to make passes for their favorite actors or celebrities.
I think we'd be in a better place if we could accept as a culture that gluttony in money and power without reason, irregardless of what someone thinks is "enough" money, should be met with criticism agnostic of race, gender, etc.
My only caveat is for people to assume that anyone with more money than them - moreover anyone who owns a business is "evil" by design. This seems to be one the more present falsehoods of Hollywood as of late. IMO, to take the potential gains out of act of taking risk to build something is wholly un-american. I think making more public those who fail in business or make huge sacrifices more present in media would help this. I only bring this up because the general public seems to tie certain attributes to people they're "okay" with being successful and others who they deem evil just because popular media told them those people don't "deserve" their success or wealth. Et al - the farmer in Iowa or small business owner in Chicago making $250k +.
Personal favorite of your updates is "found his hair gel in the car".
You know you're #winning in life if you date 21yr old college girls in your late thirties, use hair gel and still live with your parents - while portraying yourself a "Attorney for the Streets ™️" (full stop with a ".law" tld).
Even Charlie Sheen would shake his head at this loser!
Hope your Corvette is back to it's former glory!
This is bordering on religious propaganda...
Not to mention that the definition of what work, productivity or deliverables is varies vastly from company to company or industry to industry.
Not working for an entire day per week or having sporadic / limited hours of operation could also end up being a huge pain for a client or anyone not in your company you may be working with.
I'm definitely a proponent of the sentiment of this article, however, I can confirm that working with a remote team in another country where nobody seemed to work more than 25hrs per week on their technical team was annoying as hell. Not only did this make solving problems harder, they also had notably lower productivity and output of meaningful contributions...
Some of these ideas are half-baked but interesting nonetheless.
You want to maintain progress and improve your output, but not at the cost of compensation or burnout. This is very hard to answer without those contexts.
From your post I think you're going about this the wrong way. External acts like meditating or "optimizing time" are easy ways to burn yourself out doing stupid things and end up flat out not enjoying your life. I tried this during a gap year I took to work at a startup in college while I was considering dropping out and one other time after I'd graduated.
Genuinely wasn't worth it.
My best simple advice is to just focus on work while you're at work or set 4hrs aside each day to really focus. Otherwise, live your life. In time if you follow these simple rules I think you'll find surprising gains.
I'd bet we'd surpass the crowd-funding records set by Star Citizen...
Could be a whole new kind of "public justice by civic discourse for charity"? lmao
With all proceeds of the stream / adverts given to the EFF or CitizenLab et al.
Really cool stuff, just nobody ever really seemed to have a reason to buy anything of reason in the store.
I bought filament for my home-built 3-d printer there maybe once - only because it was higher quality than what MicroCenter carried and was a color I'd otherwise have to order.
But obv most people in the store weren't buying $2k 3d printers - anyone who happened to already own a 3d printer knew that MakerBot's tech was garbage.
They just cost money and were primarily built with funds from the FBI and NSA which is why you'll never hear abt most of these.
NYC may have fewer "unicorns" but NYC tech generally solves actual problems with shorter term realities of profitability sans VC slush funding.
Drops mic.
A tech job isn't a right it's a privilege. Plenty of other people would love to have a tech job at <insert big tech co. here> and have enough sense to not tweet "fuck <insert big tech co. here> on twitter...
