I have a huge need to relate, which manifests in constantly interrupting to tell personal anecdotes. It hurt my personal and professional relationships. On the professional level, that was masked by being otherwise competent so I was well into my 30s before I made any changes. On the personal level, it also took me until late 30s to find a partner who called me out on it.

Being able to sit quietly and let the other person speak hugely improved my ability to interject in ways that are relevant and actually increase engagement during conversation. That led to better relationships at home and at work, which led to a better marriage and more influence at work.

I found "Nonviolent Communication" to be a good starter book.

I understand you're saying that Mercedes are bought to signal status, but this post portrays women in a passive, dependent, role which is unfortunate and harmful to the diversity of a community which is already mostly men.

It would be fine to just say "Mercedes is the car you buy to signal you're a person of means".

I've definitely seen and experienced this. Yes I changed jobs three times in the last 7 years but my compensation went up 3x too. It might have done had I stayed in the first job, it might have not. I would certainly have missed out on all the experiences and adventures of the other jobs. Things do stagnate when startups mature.

Now I'm a director of engineering at a massive (not faang) tech company and it feels like a longer tenure would be better - it takes time to sink in, develop connections and get high impact things done at this level. But I'm not sure I would have gotten here without all the variety of experiences that I gained in the last few +-2 year stints.

This drives really nicely. Reminds me of some good driving games from the 90s when a keyboard was enough. It's so well done, thanks for sharing!

That makes the spouse financially dependent on the partner for life, which can be a bad situation.

Parent is calling it out, not doing it themselves. The topic itself is deeply rooted in sexism. These kinds of transgressions against women often get drowned in debates about technicalities, which end up dominating the conversation and shifting attention away from the real problem - in this case bodily autonomy.

So I for one actually applaud parent for calling it out.

Spreadsheets work great because it's trivial to change the data structure, and because I can email/share them to the CFO. If I was to adopt a tool, it would have to at least export to spreadsheet.

I know what you mean. It's a thin line to walk. Sometimes you really have to keep them for business reasons. But I found that sometimes the shock of losing the skills and/or knowledge of that one key person is just what's needed for the rest of the team to pick them up.

I'm personally happy to stay inside Apple's ecosystem, but believe that everyone should have the option to choose. This looks like good news, a step in the direction of being more in control of the devices we buy.

Is 3 euros such a high price to pay someone to bike over to the restaurant and bring you a still warm meal?

No, just 5. You get the results a few hours after each test. I flew in on a Sunday, went into quarantine, got my landing test results same day, did my second test Friday morning (took 2min to enter, get tested and come back out) and got my negative results via app at lunch time, at which point I was done with quarantine.

Do they mean the ad targeting that shows me ads to help build a religious building (I'm an atheist) in NYC (I live in Europe)? That ad targeting is going to work less well? How?

In all seriousness, good. Facebook is creepy enough as it is, and this kind of protest is disingenious at best.
