Is there evidence that the DNC specifically targeted certain demographics and actively used misinformation in order to lessen their participation in democracy? Otherwise, I’d claim this is a tangential whataboutism.
True, I’d claim that the 10x people exist but would be impossible to spot based upon resumes and many of their resumes would fail to hit the checkbox requirements of the organizations looking for them. Also, in general I’d claim that 10x people aren’t necessary for most projects and tend to get stifled by bureaucracy.
Appliances serve clear purposes for the entire population. I am yet to here of a meaningful Bitcoin purpose, even for the small handful of “investors.”
I get reminded of the crypto.com commercial with Matt Damon that pretends as though buying Bitcoin is some grand adventure for those brave enough and looking to prove their masculinity.
Agreed although I’ve had interviews that taught me quite a bit about the company and the interviewer. This then became useful career information for industry practices and useful skills to develop.
I’ve had a couple phone interviewers get much too aggressive at which point I told them it looks like they’ll need to find another candidate. Strangely, they both called and emailed back apologizing at which point I went elsewhere on my merry way. I think it’s necessary to have a certain amount of patience with interviewers but that certain boundaries have to be respected.
And I think the process lends itself to more changes as it focuses so much on the short term as opposed to forming a crystallized vision of the overall targets. This in turn hinders productivity.
Have you seen the movie, if I remember the scene correctly Norton discusses the financial incentives leading to auto product recalls. I don’t think this is accurate in real life although Boeing hasn’t inspired much confidence.
True, it’s difficult to know how things work when they become needlessly complicated and one is unable to move on from a project that is essentially complete.
I think this is one of the key frustrations I have with modern software development, change for the sake of change. I feel as though many products degrade over time and as a user I’m generally quite hesitant to upgrade anything if I don’t have to.
I think it’s fair to complain about a company whose product you bought. I have both android phones and iphones and complain about the parent companies all the time. Same thing with Nike, P&G, J&J, and a handful of the other oversized American conglomerates.
I’d be concerned about the lifetime costs of the vehicle regarding maintenance, repair, and replacement parts. I’d guess that insurance would be much higher too depending on how that’s handled. Would chip shortages cause issues?
I calculated an extra 90 minutes per day that’s required to work in an office. Once in an office there are a number of distractions that prevent deep work. Tasks are perfectly doable so long as they don’t require much focus or creativity.
True. The levels of complexity taken on by spreadsheets is astounding. Couple this with how difficult it can be to own a database in a corporate context and the company ends up with hundreds of spreadsheets that must be maintained across shared drives along with buggy macros.
One difference is that they have contracts in place that they aren’t honoring. The descriptive verbiage changes when discussing an invading country. Similar actions can be described a number of ways depending upon their context.
It’s profound the amount of effort that goes into influencing and seems as though if the influencers believed what they were saying to be true, that they wouldn’t feel the need to perform so many mental gymnastics. What bothers me about these organizations is the overt levels of monetary greed and psychological abuse they inflict.
