Don’t interview the 950. If you want to see if there are any diamonds in the rough, put it in your ‘no thanks’ email that if the want to make another case as to why you all should talk, then they should reply to that email or email you directly, or something.

It’s different in the US- it is worse.

Maybe it is policy. If you have three experts in the field and you redact the details for two of the interviews taken, you can’t work it out that Bob was one of the two. Granted, they borked the redaction here.

We already have a fertility crisis. Women leaving the country will only make it worse.

There are a lot of people who voted for Trump who are older and now actively worse off. It’s not just the young who are disillusioned.

It has more to do with the American food supply than anything else. The obesity rate skyrocketed as we started to consume food-like substances instead of food.

Strip out all the signals that let the body know it has enough, and it is easier to overeat.

Don’t forget the population decline

Often leadership doesn’t speak to the lowly plebs, or if they do, they don’t see the problem the same way.

I’ve worked at a company where customer service costs were higher than the contribution margin. The solution from leadership was to turn off the phones. If they can’t call in, then no one needs to be paid to answer calls.

I asked the VP how customers who need help now (appointments were involved) could get help? Well they could email in and wait for a response.

Shockingly, customer lifetime value dropped like a rock. So their solution was to lock every new customer into a hidden subscription plan that had a cancellation fee of 2-4x of one appointment. Then they had to walk that back when they had too many chargebacks.

The company was later bought out. Only people in the earliest of rounds made money from their equity. The CEO went on to be the CEO of the acquiring company.

The people deciding on the decision were will insulated from dealing with the consequences of that decision.

Cruises are selling a set space rather than a service or trip per person. The extra incremental cost is minimal for the second person.

Also the more people on the ship means more chances of selling high margin add ons like drink packages, excursions and so on.

I’m pretty sure the others are suggesting that you don’t generate the word list through coding but when you encounter words you don’t know. What helps us remember is context (“I saw that in the Doctor Who episode where the big bad is-“) where a word list doesn’t give that context.

Yes, you can crank through and memorize things without context. It is more painful and less effective overall.

“It is why all the small trucks were axed to begin with.”

No, it is because emissions regulations. A small truck can’t be built on our emissions policies, not that there isn’t a market for one.

Or maybe discourse has an inertia and it takes time to change the conversation.

I’m sure some of that is delaying: by having such high standards, they don’t have to go through the risk of actually hiring someone.

There are startups.

The Sacklers gave docs the wrong guidance on how habit forming it is. A doctor is busy and needs to be able to trust the experts- those who make the drug.

Are you saying that it may do something like improve click-the-button conversion but lead to less sales overall?

I have lived in an area of the US where a high portion of the population regularly attends church. I do not attend church. I noticed that when people found out about my lack of religion early in our acquaintance I was judged harshly for not being a believer. If they got to know me first, then they were okay with me by the time the subject of religion came up. Was I a bad person for hiding my lack of faith?

The US has such a patchwork of reporting systems around crimes and convictions, and there are several workarounds to avoid having bad things surfacing. So there are likely already people around you who have secrets but are living decent lives now. We all have those things about ourselves we don’t discuss and this is the social lubricant that keeps our relationships going.

I believe the Georgian version is different. “Y’all” is singular while “all y’all” is plural.

Citation on the non Indian workers doing less work?

Also the workers on a visa make can be deported if they lose their job. That makes them dependent on their employer to stay in the US. That makes the visa holders less likely to ask for wages at the going rate or to vote with their feet to go to another company that would treat and pay them better. How is that not discrimination?

I believe the sticking point is that they are only now doing this industry standard practice- years after selling cars with FSD

Yeah, style != quality

Ah, yes, make it harder for people to enjoy and admire nature. Then people will lobby to raze it down as “no one uses it anyway.”

That’s like saying men shouldn’t vote on matters relating to abortion. People can vote you their feet.

I have an older sibling who is left Andes and challenged me to use my left hand since they could use both. So I’m at about a typical left handed person’s level of dexterity with their right hand. I switch off on tasks like shoveling or sweeping. I can write badly. Etc. I wouldn’t say it is useful, really.

They know what they are pushing to the speakers, so couldn’t they negate the music to make that work?

But you already do. Your meat is processed to a certain standard. Your foodstuffs may only have a certain percentage of contaminants. Your vehicle must meet certain safety standards. The buildings you traverse through meet building codes. I could go on.

Yeah, this is likely government backed, so targeting is most likely.

Plus people can lose hearing in different bands: they might hear bass fine but people with high-pitched voices may not register. Just turning up the volume won’t address that.

At $250, I could buy my dad three pairs to last him all day and still pay less than his current hearing aids.

My dad’s were in the 2k range and are expected to be good for about three years. Not that they don’t last longer- just that all the features like Bluetooth should last for three years.
