If you ever find out, let me know. My department at work has been renamed so many times, I don't even know our current name.

Great interview, thanks for sharing. Minor pedantic correction: same publisher, different lawyer

I think there's an argument that it could be cheaper and better for morale to let employees upskill while working on the thing that makes money.

I'd even call it a delusional mindset. For context, CBP and ICE were both formed in 2003. Jenn Budd has several books on this topic if you want to understand why a growing number o…

1. This is not enough on it's own for social uprising, but it may be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I feel a lot of the general vibe in the US is summed up in this excerpt…

Actually it was 7 years of physical training that deformed their bodies: "But the work left the body callused, bent, and molded. You could tell a cropper by his enormous forearms a…

> We work salary because it means we can focus on the enjoyable parts of the business, letting someone else deal with the crap. I can understand why a specialist would feel this wa…

If someone doesn't care enough to suck at something (in this case, video creation) then why should we bother consuming their output? We all have our own streams of mental diarrhea …

The "edge cases" make a simple task like this more difficult. What if the nuts are stripped? What if the terrain under/around the car is uneven or not solid ground? What if it's ra…

You might be reading into that too much. It's more likely that this person's definition of what is "fun" has changed since they were younger. Spending time with family/friends or e…

You have given an example of a group which affected change on a $10+ billion estimated valuation company, in a ~$43 billion PC gaming market. You then insinuated that it was connec…

Do you really believe that "women/DEI" folks have ever had more political power than white males? Seems weird to me to put blame on them instead of the wealthy and ruling class.

AI isn't solving the problems that our society needs to solve, and its potentially making some of them worse. If you can't understand why people feel that way by now, then you are …

Washington State Housing Finance Committee has worked with residents to help them buy the land and turn it into a housing co-op, in partnership with ROC Northwest. That company als…

In my original comment I was asking people to follow me into an imaginary future where there are less artists. Artists reveal something about the world that speaks to us, which the…

So I guess you don't read books/comics, watch TV/Movies/plays, play video games or listen to music? People aren't born skilled artists, that takes time and effort. Being able to pr…

Why doesn't Mike Johnson call the House back in session so they can negotiate?

Which party has control of the government right now?

I think myself and the other poster are mainly taking issue in your use of a specific term "socialism." I think you could argue that if the US owned 51% stake in Intel, you could a…

How do you define socialism? I don't believe that we the people or the state collectively own the means of production in any major industry. Private ownership by capitalists is sti…

I just want people to be open to try things. One thing that this administration has proved is that you can actually make parts of the government move faster, for better or for wors…

No disagreement from me. I just think that the argument that the state shouldn't offer Healthcare because the president could cancel it is interesting to think about. Maybe I misun…

Why would we allow the president to do that? The power of the purse rests in the hands of our elected representatives. Something to think about.
