Depends on the perception. If people see the company as weird or wasteful, it can hurt the company. Think of all the negative press companies get. It's not rational, but it exists and companies fight to minimize those sort of things.

Breaking those types of leases and selling those types of buildings off or not trivial. They will need to figure out a way to ease out of the market, but until then, this is the way they rationalize it

Except if you have prosthetics. Then you're man and machine

I've been using Google brand phones since the g1. The Nexus 4 and the pixel 7 were the worst build qualities. The screen on the seven fell off three times and then finally died. I've switched to a Samsung.

Say you make a new invention. Are you going to give it a name, or are you going to use a description each time?

What about if you have kids. Are you going to name your kid a long winded description of their lineage, or something short?

It's descriptive. Do you want to use paragraphs to name a group of similar people, or a word? " The people born between x and y exhibiting these behaviors and traits, or have been imprinted by these traits, though it is not as strict rule," or "generation x."

And yes, we are also allowed to critique people based off of these things. It's how life works. It's how we grow and change.

I'm likely older than you and there's always been generational name calling and judging.

Is pip the real bottle neck in software development? How many dependencies are you managing that require this speed?

If supporting the art, supports the artist, who actively supports a bad cause, I do not. JKR and anything that furthers the anti-trans movement can go screw. If someone co-opts something, then it's trickier, but I expect the original artist to help when they can and support them directly, like Marvel's Punisher.

Jeff bezos owns 9.5%, then to institutions under vanguard each owned 6%. He's probably still influential-based on his prior position as CEO, but he can't force a decision that the rest of the board wants.
