I think it is very true and informative because candidates are rejected for the idiosyncratic preferences of people conducting interviews. If a project manager exceeds metrics and gets along with workers WTF if they brings anything non alcoholic with them.

The arguments you've heard against California's billionaire tax are utter BS. Here to debunk them — and explain why you should vote YES on Prop 40 — is renowned economist @gabrielzucman.bsky.social

I saw his explaining why Obama care was more realistic than Medicare for all. Even as he also complained that the GOP was tearing it apart piece by piece. We need to do a Tommy Douglas and get health care for all!!!!

I understand his fear. in Cincinnati there was a weird guy in a Bearcat costume. In Auburn a guy was dressed like Tigger. The opposing teams brought people dressed in animal costumes. You just need to explain to him him that furrys are a normal part of football. It is a formation tendency.

Musk loves to go against conventional design ignoring obvious problems and without any common sense. A stalk instead of a wheel. Multi page menus that can't be reliably used. Voice commands that don't work or trigger unexpectedly. Door handles that won't open in an emergency. Features not bugs.

Ed you are learning too much about "finance" and listening to too many "financial experts". Data centers will fail because of a lack of demand. The benefits aren't worth the cost. Interest rates are a tertiary issue. Just one more excuse for failure.

Houthis just filmed a warehouse full of US-made armor they took off Saudi-backed forces after Mocha fell. Shot on an iPhone. Such a damaging image! The coalition’s decade-long war in Yemen is ending in captured American equipment & open humiliation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Actual and Financial accounting depreciation differ. If you hold microchips that become obsolete because more modern chips are far fater the value depreciates immediately. In accounting we deduct the yearly value of the cost for the chips over the life of the chips.

Tech companies fundamental problem - particularly AI - is low quality CEOs. They lack critical skills. They have no strategic skills to develop realistic financial plans and they lack the communication skills to respond to the publics concerns. The word tech is now viewed negatively.

Stupid Idea giving guns back to felons or to offenders where the misdemeanors they committed indicate violence. Many plea deals were put in place because they were less risky if they couldn't have a gun. It makes it harder to deal drugs and more likely your next victim will survive.

In the US Crypto is used for money laundering because our country supports money laundering. Remember the Panama Papers? We wouldn't go after tax cheats and money launders because the "evidence" was leaked and/or stolen. But if the police get a stolen gun as evidence they use it to solve crimes.

The block chain independently establishes the validity of transactions and independently verifies ownership. It was developed to authenticate banking transactions. Chainalysis can track, ID, and recover Crypto transfers.

Many of the settlements were started as religious communities. But by the Constitutional convention the right to avoid religious control by government was obvious. Thus the first amendment.
