<p>That’s the value of tailwind. You can just skip learning CSS and still get a good result. The benefit to learning it is marginal.</p>

<p>> And obviously, a simple email to the data governance and privacy office would be taken extremely seriously.<p>What is this based on? I used to work for a data governance and privacy vendor that supplied data for audits. Tons and tons of customers asked us to fudge their data.<p>This is after the Delve scandal, where the hottest tech compliance company was completely fraudulent and numerous other hot tech companies also had completely fraudulent audits.<p>This is not a reasonable assumption.</p>

<p>Depends? Are those more narrow one’s better and people have a better idea of what ideal looks like?<p>I’m kind of horrified at people saying they had/have to work at their best friendships as with my best friends, everything is seamless.<p>There are no misunderstandings. We never have to forgive each other. We never even need to clarify things for each other much, as we are that well aligned.<p>Granted it may not be possible, but ideally go find a better match in a friend.</p>

<p>Fiscal conservatism only exists as an ideology when paired with hurting brown people. It does not exist as a meaningful political camp otherwise.<p>There is a reason that fiscal conservatives spend all their time on food stamps, environmental regulations, and a few random research projects and not even examining any of the top four costs that make up the overwhelming bulk of US spending.</p>

<p>Look at what social media considers to be safe countries.<p>You are absolutely bombarded with messaging about how Dubai and Chinese cities are the safest places in the world. I have friends who live in each who consider North America and Europe crime ridden shitholes because theft is possible to get away with.<p>If society believes that crimes is utterly rampant despite it collapsing over the past few decades, there is nowhere else to go but mass surveillance to make sure that even the smallest of visible crimes are stamped out.</p>

<p>Efficiency, metrics, and willingness to look stupid works when nobody has much future power over you. If you can just refresh to a new pool, that is fine but if it is the same pool, it has consequences.<p>I was on an interview panel for a role and a guy lost out on the role because about 18 months prior, he had asked too many questions one time and because of that the PM thought he struggled to grasp concepts.<p>One meeting did in his promo.</p>
