- Comment on Employees Who Stay In Companies Longer Than Two Years Get Paid 50% Less 3 weeks ago:
Clickbait.
Article is nearly 10 years old.
Article contains no studies or surveys showing this result.
The 50% figure is calculated by assuming a paltry annual raise and consistent large pay bumps by switching companies.

They don’t do shit about the sound and smell of the two stroke motors. That’s the sound that pierces noise canceling headphones.

Fair. Logs are natural unless otherwise specified. You wouldn’t put log(37) if you wanted base 10, you’d do log_10(37).
- Comment on Take-Two Interactive shuts down the Studios behind Kerbal Space Program and Rollerdrome 1 month ago:
Man that’s been the case with these sequels to games I really loved. Happened to Cities Skylines as well, and at first it seemed like that’s happened with Helldivers but it turns out it was so good it just ruined the servers.

Shit man I wish this had been posted this morning. I left to go for a ride about an hour away and traffic got so bad it was gonna take 2+ hours so I turned back and didn’t get to ride.

The meme is fucking wrong.
Catapults and ballistas are different, not because of how they store the energy, but how the throw the projectile. A catapult throws it off a holder and a ballista shoots in down a track.
It’s a goddamn catapult. I will not tolerate factual inaccuracy for the sake of a funny meme.

My guess is the record companies refused to renew the perpetual license for a cost that Ubi could justify in order to keep the one time purchase model. Everyone wants subscription model from the top to the bottom.
- Comment on A contract for 75,000 Kaiser Permanente workers expired. Historic US health care strike could start Wednesday 8 months ago:
The HMO format of insurance is not uncommon, but Kaiser does have a somewhat unique implementation of it. Most HMO insurances contract with healthcare providers (network) and you are only allowed to go to them. Kaiser is not the healthcare provider but it is a consortium with the medical groups, hospitals, and insurance, such that they appear as one big entity. This can create conflicts of interest, but it also creates some huge efficiencies. Everyone from GPs to specialists to pharmacy is all in the same system, so there are not issues with communication between different companies and hospitals. The also have more incentive than most insurance companies to keep you healthy to prevent you from using the more expensive types of care. In my experience, for the same premiums, KP tends to have the lowest out of pocket max and no/low deductibles compared to PPOs like Cigna or Blue Cross/Shield.
- Comment on Bosses and workers still can’t agree on whether the commute is part of the work day, and it’s creating a $578 billion productivity problem 9 months ago:
This idea that to be stable or put down roots means buying a single family home in the suburbs is one of the biggest problems in America. Because of this idea, there’s so little high quality medium density housing designed for families in cities, which only reinforces this idea. It causes people spread out, they isolate, they use more energy to live and commute, they don’t have experiences with a diverse group of people.
