Another home improvement example for me: my washing machine stopped spinning. I looked online for the machine manual but couldn't find it with basic search. I had ChatGPT Pro search for the repair manual (for service technicians) and h

Even putting the politics aside, a DOGE engineer experience on a resume would send me the message that you're the type of person who is too cowardly or corrupt to stand up against unethical and illegal assignments. Perhaps that's

There are no foolproof security solutions, only varying degrees of who you trust with what. There are many VPN providers who claim to keep no logs on user activity. If their claims are true, that is a better option than Comcast or AT&T

Has there been any response from Bay Area local governments? I would imagine it might not be their favorite idea that businesses are trying to incentivize employees to leave. If this sort of idea takes off, would local gov try to counter th

For whatever reason, whenever I need to work out a problem on paper quickly, I find myself reaching for a post-it note or index card instead of my notebook. I'm not sure why I prefer the smaller format for scratch work.

Individuals who are told by the coin toss to make a change are much more likely to make a change and are happier six months later than those who were told by the coin to maintain the status quo. I wonder if they removed the coin an

Since when is running a boycott campaign a "quest for ideological purity" or enforcing "thoughtcrime"? This doesn't seem like it's about ideology or what sort of things Rice thinks. It's about people bei

It is farm workers filming the videos. It just happens that these farm workers got hired as farm workers with the sole intention of filming the videos and did not disclose this intention to their employer. I'm not sure how it can be const
