That doesn’t mesh with my anecdata nor data on the proportion of housework women handle. But I do think the blame comment has merit.

> Second, there may be gender differences in the perceived causes of breakups. Women blame their male partners more often for breakups than men blame their female partners (Choo et al., 1996). In addition, women more frequently report pr

> Isn't the "God the Father" used to show the maleness of the Chrisitan God? No, the maleness of Christian God is not something that needs clarification. Appending “the Father” signals the author’s personal beliefs, assert

Lots of arguments about whether this is purely historical or disguised opinion. The last paragraph suggests the author’s intention is to discredit feminists imo. Note the use of “God the Father”, “bravely” and “demonstrates” (the lattermost

This is great news. There’s few companies in the world I want to do well specifically. Tesla’s gotta be at the top of the list.

“Playing politics” is is largely empathy and communication skills. Giving people what they want is actually not intuitive because, again, people are generally bad at communicating what they want. It’s common to hear people maligned for bein

Former employee Edit: I cannot reply to the below, but I will say, that’s a pretty contrived justification for your view. Communication is hard. Few things done at a corporate scale are easy to implement. People like to point at big consult

Alternatively, this is just some guy asserting that everyone at McKinsey thinks they invented a brand new concept, when in fact, it’s just a heuristic they teach people to communicate more effectively, because communication is hard.

I think I agree. It’s also just not a very good chart, error aside.

One thing I love about anime is that when the authors really want to drive home a thematic concept they throw in these humble observations about the human condition and demonstrate it in the most absurd contexts. Evangelion does this. I wou

The use of Christian symbolism as nothing more than an aesthetic is somewhat common is Japanese fiction. I wouldn’t say it made no sense though. The bad guys say humanity is fundamentally incapable of opening up to each other. Shinji proves

You mean... unsupervised machine learning? That doesn’t feel intellectually dishonest to me

I mean... yeah, that’s correct. The world’s resources are overtly unequally and inefficiently distributed.

I believe this is the actual article https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/financial-services/our-i... Broadly it seems to be less extreme than Bloomberg’s summary and more nuanced to particular conditions. I like h

Fast fashion is bad. But I think the broken window fallacy is poorly matched to modern times. It’s useful to demonstrate why war is bad even if it boosts our GDP, but there’s so much nuance to things like repairs, obsolescence, globalism, s

The money would go into something else, but it would probably be something stupid. A lot of the dumb startups we see now that are burning cash on obviously bad strategies exist because at a global financial scale, there’s not enough opportu

Sure, me too. But historically, and also literally right now, lack of economic growth leads to revolutions and protest if people are poor.

by throwaway66920 7y ago
Well, for one, that would vastly reduce economic growth. But aside from that, there’s not many things that fit X in the scheme of things you purchase frequently. Packaging / containers of consumed items is a big one. Fashion might be b

You’re writing this with the assumption that they were not explicitly told what to do by the Chinese government.

I’m suggesting it’s stupid to think you’ve learned nothing but false truths from advice. Edit: but for what it’s worth even in this stupid example. To learn from experience that you must look both ways does imply you suffered the consequenc

So did you get hit by a car before learning to look both ways when crossing the street? Or did someone tell you?

I grew up being taught to view elders as wise and thoughtful people who should be respected above all others. However my experience with most people over, say, 85 has been highly entitled, highly incapable, easily manipulated, and uninteres

I have a non technical friend who did this citing CNET. It felt like kind of a shit thing based on how it was being advertised, but I couldn’t actually see anything that warranted saying nord was bad. How would have expressed this in laymen

It shouldn’t. Yellow lights are supposed to last an amount of time based on the speed limit at that section so this doesn’t happen. Traffic simulations are generally quite complex. In your proposal, if your approach is not detected correctl

Boeing didn’t create the MCAS system because they thought it was a superior design or a labor saving mechanism. They did it to compensate for bad design of the physical plane.
