Beautifully put. To add to that, they need to win against the darkness every time. The darkness only needs to win once. I lost my brother in law to suicide. He left behind three young children and the harm he caused to his family is immense

The submission title is misleading; I'm not sure why the word "recorded" was dropped. The pilots have already been interviewed by the NTSB. The NTSB then asked for recorded interviews which, according to the pilot's asso

Anecdotally all but one of the parents I know (including myself) prefer working remotely. I tried to find if there were any survey results and found a survey by Harris Poll on behalf of Zapier that said that "56 percent of parents want

This was just an example where someone with no experience may have had an advantage. They would have had to learn as well, but wouldn’t be fighting against their muscle memory. We all have strengths and weaknesses. I was arguing against the

This is definitely true sometimes, but the “wrong” kind of experience can definitely hamper people. I have a highly skilled senior developer with a desktop app development background who joined our web team, he’s excellent at many tasks but

Agreed, and that had a happier ending where they moved him to a sort of R&D position. I think this article pats itself on the back too much. They didn’t manage “Rick” and let him work 7 days a week 12 hour days, and then act hurt when h

Each use case is going to be different but my experience with containerization and managed Kubernetes has been fantastic. We have a small team (5 people) and have over time managed physical servers, virtual servers in the cloud, and some so

Kosher labelling is not mandatory. Mandating that all foods be either labelled as KOSHER or NON-KOSHER would be a better example, and something I hope nobody would support. Producers should be free to add any of these labels to their produc

It's not binary. It's a trade-off that potentially decreases their capabilities and readiness. We might weigh the calculus differently (fewer dead whales) but it's not as simple as saying they don't care.

Fair points, but the comment "because the moderators volunteered" made me cringe. I have a great deal of respect and sympathy for mods because I've helped moderate other forums and the task is both rewarding, unrelenting, and

We need to differentiate between fault and responsibility. Victoria may very well have been at fault, but the responsibility for steering the ship was management's and they appear to have been unaware that you needed someone in the eng

Ignorance more than callousness appears to be the sin here. From snippets of communications posted with the mods it looks like they weren't really aware of what Victoria did for the mods. Since the community is their "product&quot

This. There is a massive range in daycare from "your child will be alive when you come back" to "all our staff have degrees in childhood education" (and of course the associated price range). The same is true of stay-at-

Zebra mussels have had a noticeable effect on water clarity in Chicago harbors in the last ten years. When the light is right it's possible to see 20-30 feet down easily when the view was always previously occluded. Aside from the detr

I am not astonished iOS lacks parental controls but admit they would be useful. Establishing rules for my toddler is relatively easy when in the context of a physical object (e.g. don't touch the TV, you can only read books or do puzzl

The US Civil War was essentially fought over the right of states to unilaterally withdraw from the union (the answer was no). The constitution could be amended to explicitly allow this but I don't foresee that happening anytime soon. S

That's a good point. I think the difference is that instagram had an existing userbase and social ecosystem that complemented Facebook nicely as another content stream. I don't think you will need a Facebook login to play games, b
