Is the article hinting at the timing? Ie Spotify announces layoffs, stock goes up assuming less expenses so higher profit, then CEO decides to quit to take advantage of rise in stock prices?

The fact of the matter is this: it’s so important that new housing is affordable, because there’s no way in hell I’m accepting anything less than a 20 percent return on my own home.

That’s the issue. I don’t think homes should appreciate in value (less inflation). It causes massive inequity. Houses are depreciating assets too. Just decaying/breaking over time.

What’s your take on accessing systems accepting passkeys on a shared computer? Or if you lose access to your devices?

I think exporting passkeys could be useful.

I wonder what phishing attempts will look like.

I appreciate you wanting to to understand a different point of view.

Why is it the author could understand certain actions only if someone has a medical condition?

Surely there could be multiple other reasons.

The context in which the word is used isn’t appropriate. Many find using the word when referring to a medical condition to be derogatory.

Saying someone/something isn’t a derogatory word isn’t kind. The words association and connotation is still there.

Thanks, didn’t mean to offend, just thought the article could explain it better then I could .

The problem is that some people don't think well of some specific groups of people and whatever term is being used to refer to the specific group of people quickly becomes a Bad Word.

If a group of individuals actively find a word offensive and ask others not to use it, I think it’s generally kind to respect their request.

Word associations may change over time, and it’s great you have that insight. I don’t have a solution, other than recognizing the words we say invoke feelings in others. We live in the now.

Finding someone whom feels targeted by the word and is open to a conversation can help you understand why the word is harmful.

Practicing empathy can help! How do you think your words make them feel? How would you feel if someone did the same to you?

The book “this book will make you kinder - a handbook to empathy” is a good read.

Mental Therapy is also a good way to dig into who you are, and understand why you may feel the way you do.

Honestly everyone can benefit from it :)
