Pretty much all discretionary accolades like "team member of the month" is related to building rapport with the decision maker.
This factors into not just the employee of the month, but bonuses and layoffs.
I'm not even sure if abstracting this out into specific performance metrics is the solution, an individual will still want to give another certain individual praise at their discretion.
Just something to be conscious of.
Glad Stripe is having success in this area.
Its the lack of black people that people worry about with regard to Stuyvesant. There is a lot of literature on how this comes to be. Fawn over “Pure meritocracy” if you like, the outcome in NYC wasnt expected and isnt leveraging the potential of its society.
Everytime some staff member says "it will be covered we are just doing x, y, z this is covered"
and then you get a bill from the insurance company and the doctor's office says "we THOUGHT it was covered"
It pits everyone against each other to make sure someone else gives more money to the same entity
Fascinating
Makes me want to see what people have done with the Sony A7 sII
I’ve had it since 2015 and its been the first camera I’ve used that can see better than me at night at maybe 1/30th of a second shutter speed. Coupled with vibration compensation and cleaner high ISO, just using it handheld it reveals many more stars in the sky than my eye adjusted too or would ever see.
Makes me think it could capture the aurora more accurately.
I wonder if anyone has done it
Which is true no matter if the tax rate is 1% or 75%
> He could be taxed at 99.9 percent and still have millions left over
I realize this is hyperbole but do realize that no 99.9% tax would be complied with
> tax on every dollar over $100 million in profits they earn anywhere in the world
oh the American hubris, so lost in the goal of catering to their constituents that they think this institution has a valid claim on assets, and income. Lets take a cut of everyone's productivity IN A MORE FAIR WAY crowd cheers.
But alas, the US rule of law makes it secure for you to do business and these corporations benefit from this society and use its services - but thats also true whether the tax is 1% of 75%, so it isn't really an argument
> article shows graphs about tax rebates
Article doesn't talk about how the corporations used tax rebates at all. It talks about the outcome of paying no tax, talks about all these proposals, and none of the proposals talk about tax rebates. Even the most ambitious proposal here would probably not effect how these corporations operate. Are people - I dare say - stupid? Is this a mass reading comprehension issue?
It is interesting that people who can simply read can play tax games like this for another 100 years before anyone catches on.
Personal websites are a lot easier to control and chronicle what you want them to. They also help with SEO and also community building if you desire that.
When I didn't desire that, I was very content being a "need to know senior engineer" behind the scenes. I gamed my third-party recruiters to do all the work for me and we all made money.

Whataboutisms only work when the accuser is assuming something un-ordinary is happening, after knowingly or unknowingly exempting themselves from the behavior they already practice.
very well articulated. I've been fortunate enough to be around vegan people that aren't so judgemental, but they seemed to still neglect the existence of people that would like to replicate the experience of meat and interpret that as apathy.
That was very odd to me. Who, what, why, when, where and how was just missing from articles like with Myanmar immigrants, or sexual assault solutions.
This BBC article reminds me of that.
This is a significant reason why you would lack consensus on this opinion.
what others say: "but false accusations, indictments and convictions will also stop" (upvote, downvote, downvote)
what some reply: "are you sure that is really a problem" (upvote upvote upvote)
how frustrating, especially when nobody can reliable quantify anything or reliable prove anything
It enjoys independence and autonomy, but the rest is so nuanced to instead be a complete mockery to the whole nation state concept.
I don't think its worth debating. You can negotiate directly with Taiwan, and accept their rule of law to navigate business. Isn't that all you need to know?
some people in Taiwan would be offended by saying "Taiwan, China" by assuming that you are saying it is a province of the PRC. other people in Taiwan would not care, while yet other people in Taiwan would appreciate that you recognized that Taiwan is the legitimate China and you just wrote the Taiwan part for descriptive purposes, ALL WHILE you are just trying to maintain consensus with the other people you work with which includes your own country and also the PRC, and then a random Taiwanese-American will call you "racist" for "mistakenly" thinking their heritage is from "China" instead of Taiwan, projecting their own exile as part of an amorphous underrepresented Asian-American diaspora amongst ignorant foreigners, and its like "no, buddy."
any biomes have a rain shower from one cloud over one neighborhood, but the whole area is now "chance of rain 100%", when the real user experience is 100% sunny/clear at all hours of the whole day
That's hella meta. But I can also accept being a pictorialist, as much as an impressionist isn't just emulating a vintage style but is subscribing to an entire genre.
Senators feel the same way when they brag about never having sent an email

I wouldn't use the word ignorant for that, but I also wouldn't argue about whether the definition would apply.
or didn't perceive the other ways, or didn't have resources for other ways, or wasn't approved for the subset of other ways that they both perceived and had resources for
Congratulations, no pat on the back, just vilification. The fingers now get pointed at you
