  • What my company used to do, person A asks for higher hour rate. Manager can’t get approval from his manager.

    Person A quits, but is told you can always apply for the job again. Request for a new hire is made, people show up, also person A. In the end person A is hired for a better hour rate.

    I do know a scrum coach that tried this only to be not hired because person B showed up and they liked him more.




  • Also it’s not just a rich and powerful thing, there are unfortunately also middle class and poor people that abuse children. The thing about Epstein is that it’s mostly rich and powerful people that should be exposed and prosecuted. It sends a good message, even the richest and most powerful people can’t get away with it.












  • In the Netherlands basically everyone uses whatsapp. In the beginning people would say send me a whatsapp or something like that. But pretty quickly people started to shorten it to just app. So people will say stuff like I just got an app (instead of message), it drives me nuts. Like my family chat group is called “app group”.



  • It’s a different version of the tolerance paradox

    The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance; thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance. (Source Wikipedia)

    Physical media yes, CDs or DVDs no. Most discs I burned are probably unreadable by now. I remember my favorite artist explaining how he probably had to stop making music because it just wasn’t financially viable. So I decided to buy all his albums (I had all the albums in mp3 format for years). Its about 10 years later, all the CDs are lost or destroyed (most in my car). I still have a NAS with the original mp3s I downloaded 20 years ago.
