Many people who experience this kind of abuse think they're alone, and they think the abuse is their fault. When those kids see this video, they'll realize they're not alone, and they'll see the posts supporting them. Simple gestures like this are life changing for kids who are being abused. When the only world you…

Maybe explain that last line more about Rita? It sounds like a not-so-backhanded slap, and it smacks of punching down.

and how do you know this?

So what would you need to see to not think its a scam. You seem to have your mind made up.

Glad you found a competent doctor. Having had several family members die because doctors allowed them to leave the hospital untreated, I assure you that doctors can and do make obvious mistakes.

People who do not ride in the same direction as other traffic are amazingly dumb human beings who should not be allowed on the streets with the rest of us.

I don't know—when I drive, I don't usually see cars driving the speed limit. So maybe, every day and most drivers ignore signs willfully?

Presumably you always drive the speed limit.

Yes, exactly—that kind of system would be great! I've found that I've been more effective at causing seemingly immovable situations to be unstuck if I use a good combination of data and "customers will return this" and "this is shit" and "aren't you embarrassed that we might ship this?" Using just data or just the…

My sympathies. Still, I think this backfires in the end: lawsuits and terrorism are a lot like natural disasters: they're random, irrational, and you can't do too much to stop them. You're better off not discouraging your employees from speaking freely. Even if a company were amazingly excellent at not ever using…

the comments section of the article is more informative than the article itself. So many automotive engineers defending the practice of running away from clear qualitative judgement from users of your product. I can understand wanting facts to go with those judgements but I can't understand asking people not to…

as an engineer I want both the facts and the subjective opinions. I want someone to say what went wrong in detail, and if it's terrible I want them to say "this is shit." That is qualitative info that the facts cannot convey.

I disagree. If I saw that presentation I'd know that there was already some process in place to police my professional judgement and I'd expect it to get misused did political reasons. Especially at a big company.

I've worked at big tech companies before and I've never seen anyone in this industry set something like this as policy. I once saw an attempt to do so, but that person was so harshly ridiculed by engineering that they didn't last.

"Get some clicks" by providing new information to people who "don't follow sports." This sounds like a good thing, not a bad thing.

Actually, my life dramatically improved once I realized this was an option. I don't always do this, but knowing that one can do it and is not a terrible person for doing so is enormously helpful.

We're going to have to agree to disagree.

Let me restate this: running ads saying that gay people are pedophiles is exactly as bad as a gay person being upset that someone wrongly accused all gays of being pedophiles.

So you're saying I should be happy to work for someone who wants people to think gays are pedophiles?

I didn't. But even if someone had: he didn't run commercials claiming that gay people are 'coming for your children.' That $1000 Eich spent paid for one of those commercials.
