And “Emmanuel Goldstein” was the name of a character in the novel 1984. He was the widely despised “enemy of the state” cooked up by the government to justify their autocracy.

Amused to see the 10mm socket in an "in case of emergency break glass" box. So true about 10mm, though I'd lean towards the 10mm box wrench. I've disassembled many a motorcycle with not much more than that.

Agree 100%. First of all, this is much more of an “anecdote” or “dinner theater” than an “experiment.“

But even more so, when you take a bunch of people and _tell them to play these roles_, why are surprised when they _play the stereotype of those roles?_

I’m not sure I want to be promoted—-but I definitely have the feeling that it’s “up or out.”

I’m sure it’s different at different companies, but I’d be interested in hearing what experiences the HN community has had with that situation.

Reminds me of the classic joke: A surgeon is at home, and the plumber comes to fix his sink. The plumber works for 15 minutes, the sink is fixed, and he hands the surgeon his invoice.

“$850?” the surgeon exclaims, in shock. “I’m a surgeon and I don’t make that much!”

“Yeah,” says the plumber, wistfully. “I didn’t make that much when I was a surgeon, either.”

I’m not sure what you’re talking about wrt prescriptions. I just googled “diazepam” and got all the information on my pharmacy insert, and more. And often, more clearly presented.
