The link between "no photo" and "couldn't find a photo" are different things. #36 (Dieter Schwarz) pops up with a ton of photos when I google him, for instance.

On #2, there are a ton of well-written and entertaining articles by the author—Michael "Rands" Lopp—on his website. https://randsinrepose.com/ He also hosts a slack that's up to something like 100,000 people.

I really liked this viewpoint. I feel like it's not uncommon to go over to someone's house and the ice maker or water has "broken". The good news for GE is I just say, "Oh, all fridges suck" and not "Wow,

Hard to react fully to a tweet, but if anything, this massively UNDERESTIMATES the scope of the impact. Months leading up to baby? Doctor's appointments increasing to weekly, potential health issues that impact work and life. Month 1?

Of course. I started commenting before the merge, but posted after it, and didn't want this comment to be orphaned. Re-posted in the "correct" thread, and left this comment for traceability only.

Note that the alternative here would be to just increase price by the full 12% and change nothing else. Then later you can cut features and price by 2%, which people won't react to because "paying less for less" is perfectl

OK, there's lots of gray area here: 1. I suspect you'd have "protection" to use your title as a credential in a relevant professional forum. 2. Most companies also have policies on running for public office, usually be

A lot of FUD here. Titular "employees" were informed that they were in violation of media policy by making comments to the media both as a named representative of Amazon and critical of Amazon without prior approval. Neither o

Also worth noting that the FBI report doesn't break out Hispanic and Latino Americans, which are 16.3% of the U.S. population in the U.S. Census. And if you want to be really pedantic, technically the stat here is "arrests",

It doesn't contract the 13/50 stat at all. And also says that "white people commit way more crimes in the US". Specifically: 4,209 (48.7%) "murders and nonnegligent manslaughter" ("murders") are c

And this goes the other way, too. In the same vein as lighting, I was trying to find a simple, modern, LED vanity fixture. You can get builder-grade and often-ugly crap from Home Depot (see also: Brands not being an indicator of quality), o

Right! So why should I pay for crap, or the other way around, why should I overpay for good quality, if I can get a solid substitute for less? For example, I'm shopping for landscape lighting right now. You can spend a lot on lands

That's kind of the point, though. Supply chains are becoming more transparent and accessible to the end customer, so in 2020, you have a much better chance of going "directly to the source" than you did 20 years ago. So the F

That "tyranny of perfect information" begets FOMO. If you'd looked at one more site or one more review you might have discovered a "better" (cheaper, high quality, higher utility) item. I'd add that's it&#

Yes, but phone records with your lawyer strikes me as a little different than "we see you called the hitman a week before the murder!" It comes down to the "calling a lawyer constitutes guilt" argument, which seems lik
