    The crisis was 07/08, but the buildup was almost a decade in the making, does that count as short term?

    If you think it's easy to game 30M in short term revenue, please try to do that in a large firm. The risk/compliance teams would be interested in your strategy.

    Or, someone steals your car, commits a murder with it and places it right back at the same location in the exact condition. The police will come after you and you will need to expl…

    New homeowners: Know where your GFCI reset switches are located. I just had a fun time debugging why some of my outlets weren't working. Turns out there was a GFCI tripped in the g…

    You're missing the part where 5% isn't let go at once triggering WARN. Think of this is as a continuous process of evaluation -> pip -> fire. This means no WARN and no severance.

    Paranoia and backstabbing happens everywhere. What happens if stack rank->pip is too obvious is that people and teams will not cooperate with newer fresh meat. They're incentivized…

    100% Agree, We could have $10k electric cars in the US, specifically made in China. It's not going to happen anytime soon for enough reasons that could fill a HN comment section.

    I'm FT WFH, my anecdote is that every time I'm on a call, it is the father who is taking care of the kids in the background. If we're trying to equalize traditional gender roles, h…

    To answer your question, No they aren't. Until the REAL scammers are brought down, people will take actions into their own hands.

    Wait until you get to 50 and you have to take OFF your glasses to read things that are small or close. This is the most annoying part of all my vision problems.

    Age is important factor here, not just contract brands. As you get older, your eyes get dryer. Also, having done Lasik and needing contacts after many years is a recipe for dry eye…

    If you publish a cert for your product and require (for whatever reason) all 3rd parties validate the cert before using it, you're going to have a very bad time here. It could cost…

    Agreed here, and how can you thoroughly investigate without engineering involved? Unless you suspect your own team somehow it doesn't make sense.

    I agree, however why is that small issues are so large when trying to sleep at night? A little thought we can reflect on becomes a big problem late at night while trying to sleep.

    Agreed, COOPs don't fundamentally change human behavior which has doses of greed. A large COOP monopoly will suffer the same fate as others'.
