    Also... One GLARING misstep in the article. The data/publications that Dan used for his wage increase idea far predates any of this.

    Here's discussion in 2010 on the topic.

    So here's the thing... Does a CEO plan to raise everyone's wage and announce it in less than two weeks? How far in advance would someone consider and discuss these things with key people before doing them?

    It's reasonable to think the author of this article is drawing too many conclusions for the sake of hot media. I'll close out their adspace and move on now. *sigh*

  3. Or... on The Story of the CEO Paying Everyone $70k Gets Complicated · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ....maybe there are two separate things going on here. One is Dan's pay, and the other is how much they're paying everyone else. How is it that they're conflating the two issues so that one seems like a smoke screen for the other? Is there even a rational connection between the two other than being about pay for people within the company?

    Is it possible that Dan wants to get paid a lot, but also wants everyone else to get paid well? Clearly the motivations to pay everyone else well are quite different from the motivations to pay himself lots of money. I think it's more reasonable to consider these as two separate things.

    No. Doing something doesn't mean you're fine with it. It may be an admission to being imperfect and emotional moreso than being fine with violence. You're jumping to conclusions way too fast and simply.

    The thing is, we can already assume that most of the chocolate research will simply tell us that we eat too much of it and it is making us fat.

  17. The article lacks substance! on You're Doing It All Wrong: Solar Panels Should Face West, Not South · · Score: 1

    This article is loaded with suppositions and guesses that don't really nail down any hard believable hypotheses or facts for a reader to take away. There is no takeaway message. I came away from this read having wasted my time. The whole article can be summed into a single line that could maybe be a popular tweet "For some people, maybe, angling solar panels westward might pick up energy when they need it most."

    But the article is clickbait by the whole 'you're doing it all wrong' part that makes potential readers think there is some new big fact that will prove something worth learning. NOPE.

    Lame article.

    I agree. I don't see a problem with maintaining our rights and then busting murderers, rapists, thieves, etc, when they actually are caught doing the crime or afterward. We can't all be so scared about the possibility of bad things that we give up the great things we have (rights/freedoms). Are we seriously trying to move into thoughtcrime and massive nanny-state/big-brother living where we need the government to PREVENT anything bad from happening? Please... Life is too short, even when it goes well, to shut it all down in fear.

    It's not ok. As the guy who replied about fairness and communication said (and my original post implies), good relationships are mutual and require work. If you settle for less, that's on you. I'm miffed on behalf of other guys I know because of the point that you're making. As a man I don't get much of the feminine perspective of 'bad males', either --- much of this has to do with the fact that I absolutely avoid jerk men. The guys I surround myself with are all good upstanding people and so I only see or hear about asshats in public/internet.

    The point is that if you cannot work a successful career, and will be at home all day, you should have homemaking skills. This is a gender independent point. I've met many male homemakers.

    Regarding the 'plenty of guys out there who are dicks'.... And so? I'm not talking about those guys, am I? Why bring in spurious arguments when what you're saying clearly doesn't have anything to do with what was originally said? SMH. Internet trolls.

    A lot of guys cower and don't demand fairness and communication in relationships. It's a way to feign the supposedly prized 'sensitivity' that was indoctrinated in the 80s/90s. They get walked all over and perpetuate a crappy expectation for the rest of us to work harder against. I'm married to a perfect woman, and so I don't have to deal with that crap any more. I feel bad for the rest of the guys I know who are facing potential spouses who offer nothing much more than being pretty in makeup. No degree, no homemaking skills, no work ethic, and no compromise. It's like they were raised to be princesses.

    Yes, I know there are loads of women out there who aren't like this. And before you reply upset about this, just know that I am glad you exist and that I am not writing this about you at all.

    Entropy exists within the materials of the superconductor by way of vibrations that happen above 0K. This is well known. The fact that you say "...your wonderful zero energy superconducting..." implies that you have no knowledge about this field of study whatsoever and think I'm making this up. I have no control over that. I can't force you to learn about something before refuting it ignorantly. I can't make you have a little trust in someone else's arguments such that you might actually make an effort of your own to find out. Superconductors have been studied and produced for over 20 years now and you're welcome to learn whenever you choose. scholar.google.com

    Given the way most communications on the internet requires brevity and incomplete information, you could pose similar shithead-style analyses of most people's posts. You've chosen to assume the worst where you're given the opportunity to assume anything or limit judgement. That's on you and its surely a poor form of existence. I wish you a better way of life.
