I have been misdiagnosed and taken wrong medicine for 4 years for a problem by a top specialist, the doctor kept making up reasons on why I'm not getting better.

By luck I consulted with another specialist due the former doctor not being available at and odd time, and some re-tests help determine that I need a different class of medicines. I was better within months.

4 years of wrong medicines and over confidence from a leading doctor. Now I have a tool to double check what doctor has recommended.

Learnt this from a cxo few years ago and this has certainly helped - to be able to make time for yourself, every workspace task should be a calendar entry.

I've become lazy after google translate app started translating from camera directly without even taking pictures. I've purchased online some Chinese products in past with not a letter of English on them but was able to read in seconds with Translate and camera.

A strategy you can follow is - Start with not budging to tell the number in your mind. There is typically a range of salary defined for each level. Let them make the first move where the recruiter will typically start with low or mid (if you did very well in interviews) value in the range. Negotiating 10-20% higher than that can be a tactic but avoid being too pushy.

Exactly, then I should be able to see that my tax calculations include only my salary and I can fill in rest of the things to get additional deduction. Infact everyone would be able to see what IRS knows and what it doesn't and deductions taken into account etc. How is it not better?

Slightly digressing, thought atleast in India, Instagram has started catering to a lot of serious businesses especially startups. If you want to market, go to Instagram.. Well Tiktok has been banned but it was never taken here as a serious platform by businesses.

Google itself today tries to get you to back up everything online to be used across its ecosystem. If I choose to pause my "Web and app activity" - https://myactivity.google.com/activitycontrols?pli=1 after which my activity stops getting backed up online, Google also stops storing any sort of history on local device - across all google apps - either allow everything or zero history. No local caching, not even my last search shows up in maps.

Will be interested to see if this behavior changes.

My company migrated to Azure few years back. They can give good bulk discounts but on the flip side the experience with some of their infra and AKS has been choppy at times, with the support team taking time to fix or rca h/w issues. They do come back though. Would love to know how does it compare to long term experiences with other major cloud providers.

I'm a manager and have been forced to apply similar PIP process to my team and it is truly horrible when the folks are forcefully put in the lowest performance just to satisfy the projected yearly budget. The 2-3 month improvement process is hogwash and hardly anyone survives it, PIP means they're 90% going to be axed.

EV cars need replaceable batteries so that they can be charged at home. The batteries also need to become less heavier so people can carry it to their home to plug them in. There should also be some designated spare battery storage in car so that extra batteries can be kept. Without this, EVs would remain a privilege for a select few who can afford the private infra. Charging stations can only go so far. You can carry spare liquid gas in extreme circumstances, similar capabilities are needed here, everyone wants to be prepared for worst case.
