To translate what was just said: payday lenders do , in fact, delude themsleves into thinking they are making an impact. It’s always the same material about “helping people in their time of need”. But the point isn’t about the immediate im

Making neighborhood gossip easier is worrying on many levels. A hack that has been used in the past to scale totalitarian social control is to employ what is essentially a viral enforcement mechanism: basically, getting people to inform on

> If you think your boss is lying to you, go find a new boss. That statement seems completely disconnected from reality. Not the part about going to find something better, because that is (usually) possible. But managers regularly and tr
