Great another thing to self diagnose, except now you can sound pretentious too. Most people, myself included, don't have anything truly wrong with them other than bad habits and bad discipline that will just take a year or more time horizon to struggle and work through until resolved. It's not that they're not real. I just don't like the idea of adopting something as a title or ownership "I have depression/I am depressed" vs "I am experiencing depression as a symptom from a lack of exercise and an abuse of the internet and entertainment."

Also therapy is more available than ever and talking to a real person is guaranteed healthier than reading WebMD. If you can't afford a therapist talk to your friends. It takes a bit of courage to admit your feelings but everyone has experienced these feelings to some degree and likely has great advice. Even finding out, for example, that it took one friend a few years to get over something is helpful since it means you don't have to beat yourself up about not getting over it today.

Nice!

This article is fantastic and answers a lot of questions I didn't know I had!

It's a truck you dork. You do work with it. It gets dented. Gravel comes up and chips your window.

Are they being greedy or is this just inflation? $7.99 was the original DVD rental fee in 1997 → which is $12.51 in 2019 dollars. I wish I had a better mental tool for working with inflation in my "get-mad-o-meter", haha.

no problem! glad you enjoyed:)

That's an interesting thought. Those can see the actual tissue as well.

Could we actually do this in a safe way? Having ill fitting shoes can cause a lot of long term damage. There could be a case that it's worth the X-ray risk...

I think we all tend to focus on building the system which is the most point of failure resistant rather than the point of failure itself. I've found performance reviews to be fantastically valuable and motivating when I have a good manager.

Rather than endless optimization of the system. Train your managers. Everything from giving good feedback to ignoring or forgetting a bias is a skill that can be learned.

It's hard not to be dismissive of what appears to be a simple set of concepts, but you're missing on an opportunity to learn a very cool set of skills here. I recommend that anyone who wants to live a better life and do better work read books on the Toyota Production System and Taiichi Ohno. As for Poka-Yoke, It's a word that seems simple but when used in industry contexts communicates a deeper set of requirements than just "make it foolproof". Also, don't undersell how useful systematizing common sense is (and how difficult its application can get).
