Seriously, they should hype and release a sequel to idiocracy, but have it be a legitimate documentary covering the last decade, but with the save tone and narrator as the movie.

What if Luigi was acquitted and launched a startup that sold guillotines at cost...

Also, your fixation here is on pennies and not dollars. Large systems account for waste and allow for less precise action. They do that because they know that enables less logistical slowdown on average and overall they will be more successful in big picture.

As you grow, you'll learn to focus on broad strategy and not get lost in fixation on individual tactics. Set good policy and allow people room within to figure it out - without a bummer of a nag in middle management meandering around trying to save pennies at the cost of dollars to justify their existence.

Doesn't matter what you think really though, right? These businesses operate on measurable KPIs and if overall thresholds weren't being hit, something would happen.

If you were a manager with that attitude, you'd be a micro manager and we all know that that type of manager, in any sector, SUCKS.

Yes, and speaking to quality in this case is not about individual performances, it's about overall quality of outcome. Are you familiar with Pareto?

Stop fixating on Janice in accounting scrolling facebook and how you feel slighted by her or Derek in operations who shows up 30 minutes late to meetings. The bigger machine on government side works most of the time, with transparent accountability, on that side, in the case of insurance, it emotionlessly kills people for profit on the other.

Through the great depression...

When 9/11 happened...

The 2008 housing crash...

COVID...

On a smaller scale, when the Titanic sank, I'm assuming someone inevitably got rich from the aftermath somehow?

Who are the people/groups that make up history's must successful parasites? Who "came out on top" in each instance of historical human suffering?

 

The rest of them all look good, but Addison just looks like a professional ball player out the gate.

 

So obviously we're all on Lemmy for a complicated combination of reasons, but we all likely share some common ground, namely...

  • need for privacy
  • need to own/control/access the data we produce
  • healthy skepticism about the trustworthiness of for-profit corporations, in general

So if we don't want meta to know even innocuous things; like how many times/when we message our grandma, and we don't google to know when we're searching for remedies to a rash, and we don't want reddit to... Well we just don't want reddit - we don't want them to profit from or weaponize that data against us in a myriad ways.

We also don't want them artificially removing features and creating tiered layers of service/value hidden behind a paywall (I understand this is very present in the some of the commercially available DNA services).

So that brings me to DNA testing services. Since they started to emerge in the mainstream they were immediately an interesting, exciting novelty and I also knew it was data I wouldn't feel safe trusting with a for-profit org - with broken systems like law enforcement and health insurers on speed dial and just salivating for the goodies they collect.

So all that considered, any groups that provide this type of service that you do trust/use, and why?

 

Hey all, I used to use a to do app and can't remember name, it was very distinct though, please help!

  • visual aesthetic was of an IRL open paper journal (distinct touch: out had a coffee stain on upper corner of the paper)
  • extremely simple, text input on lines and a checkbox to complete (animation of pen crossing by hand would play IIRC)
  • only option besides complete/delete was to move to "tomorrow". Then when you flipped the page (animation) you'd see the next day's tasks.
  • only looked at today and tomorrow in favor of simplicity
  • For some reason, I want to think it was just called "today" or "tomorrow".

Any ideas?
