privacythrow23··on What questions can tech CEOs be asked, to guage their moral trustworthiness?
If trustworthiness were able to be gauged by a single question world political history would be much more boring.

That being said, asking a CEO to take responsibility for a mistake is a pretty good indicator.

If they own the mistake. That's good. If they own the mistake and try to fix it. That's better. If they own the mistake and ask the people wronged how to make amends. They're probably not a CEO.

Do you love trains or Amtrak?

Because Amtrak isn't all that great from what I remember, there are far better carriers but maybe not in the US.

Yeah I can't speak for everyone, but it's not feeling like they're wasting their own time. It's more out of concern for wasting your time.

It is often very welcomed when you ask to speak Icelandic and are learning. People will take the time, slow down their speech and offer words of encouragement like "you are doing really well"

Water is really a great thermal mass. I'm surprised it makes that much of a difference. 80% is significant.

Now the important question: Can China Coal and Saudi Aramco cook their pasta like this too?
