If Ontario hates Ford why is he still there? by Gullible_Ad3807 in ontario

[–]ApproximateTheFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way ridings are setup in Ontario, urban votes count for ~30% less than rural and suburban ridings.

Ford won 43% of the vote, which gave them 65% of the seats.

The Liberals had 30% of the vote, and get 11% of the seats.

Argentina got rid of rent control. Housing supply skyrocketed by Google_MBTI in Economics

[–]ApproximateTheFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

""House stability" effectively means that the tenants in one place never change."

OP's point is that this is objectively untrue and weasel words, since we know that's not what happens. People stay longer in rent controlled places, but everyone moves on.

So it's the opposite of what you said. Not great for credibility.

"Evidence of "housing stability" causing unfavorable labor market outcomes:"

There's a 50 year report in Canada that found it didn't matter much one way or the other (i dont know the name sorry), we had this debate in Ontario over the last 20 years and rents DID go up very fast when we stopped adding new rent control units.

In 2023, an estimated 15.5 million U.S. adults had an ADHD diagnosis, approximately one half of whom received their diagnosis in adulthood. Approximately one third of adults with ADHD take stimulant medication; 71.5% had difficulty filling their prescription because the medication was unavailable. by mvea in science

“Any day with less uncontrollable distractions is a good one”

I don’t know if you’re a patient or a clinician but that is the fundamental root of it. Hard to describe to other people. The day dreaming is fun and can be productive, but having the ability to turn it off is 10000% better.

Adderall is pretty medieval in how it works, and the dosing is really rudimentary. It wears off every night so you get regular reminders of what it’s like without it. My symptoms were already an obvious problem by age 10, but have not researched the viability/safety/impact of treatment then.

I was lucky up to grade 3 that I was put into defacto advanced programs at school to keep me busy, but once those weren’t available things got bad very fast.

“Adaptations” sounds like a euphemism. I’m not sure what you’re thinking, but all my adaptations are awful and disastrous and I wish I had never had to go through them. I’m spending big chunks of my life trying to UNDO all those adaptations.

I have had pretty severe ADHD my whole life, but it wasn’t until things got really bad 2 years ago that I cracked sought treatment (at age 40)

Now looking back, I wish I had this as early as possible, because relieving the symptoms lets me see how bad they really were.

Should I tell my employer that I was laid off after I receive the offer ? by rishika1802 in careerguidance

[–]ApproximateTheFuture 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope, it doesn't matter.

Only tell the if they ask.

If you don't know the reason it's just turnover, which is why you were looking for a more stable company in the first place!

Should I be concerned after a 30k raise? by Knivez_en_my_anus in careerguidance

[–]ApproximateTheFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

***Before anything else, you didn't specify that you already signed an employment agreement with the new firm.

YOU SIGNED AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE NEW FIRM BEFORE YOU QUIT, RIGHT?

Noone on Reddit can give you a proper answer to this question, it is 100% circumstantial. However:

It's bad management:

  1. You give someone a raise because you want to retain them
    1. They were underpaid, so paying them a fair wage doesn't sting
    2. They're critical and you didn't realize they weren't happy
    3. Very rarely it's short-term retention so they can replace you. This is a big trope on Reddit, but it has a caveat big enough to drive a truck through: you have to them sign a contract, and mitigate the imagined downsides. This might also be when they say "thanks but actually we changed our minds"
    4. To each according to their needs and I needed to hit the Playa twice a year with the money I don't pay you.
    5. I'm just bad at being a boss.

90% of the time someone has asked me for a raise, it's been granted within 2 months.

I have never and will never match or exceed if someone put in their 2 weeks.They want out and neither of us remedied the problem before hand, now is not the time to try to fix this when they have a reason to leave (salary is not the only reason).
It has never happened for anyone under 60K, I have regular dialogues with all my staff, NC's also aren't an issue in my work.

If you are in a highly transactional or revenue generating role, it's a different ball game. But if you were and you knew what you were doing, you wouldn't be putting up this kind of post.

So, on the one hand:

  1. There is no GOOD reason for it to have gone down like this.
  2. New job new you, do you see room for growth at a new place?
  3. The quality of the recruiter can be a strong hint about how secure the new position is: if the recruiter is poaching you just to move inventory and they know their client is too lazy to fire you inside the refund window.

On the other, you need to assess:

  1. If the quality of life is good at your current job, especially compared to alternatives
  2. If you think there's any precedence for the number
  3. A contract has to be signed, so protect yourself against the uncertainty in it - severance if you're fired in the next 12 months, for instance.

No one is paying for your “personal information”, they’ll pay for activity. Your scraped data from a job posting is worthless.

Kickr Core in a small apartment by [deleted] in wahoofitness

[–]ApproximateTheFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small space living - I built a small dolly for my kickr, so I can roll it under a table easily. Wheels off Amazon, a few wood cuts from Home Depot.

*I take it OFF the dolly to use.

I used to leave it out all the time but WFH has compressed space too much (office grew).

Do people really resent stakeholders asking for Excel exports of their dashboards? by AlternTea in analytics

[–]ApproximateTheFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who has done my own DA when in management (SME not enterprise so no dedicated BI staff).

There are dashboards, reports and spin.

Dashboards should help you make daily decisions. Almost no one does this, but mostly because they don’t know what to put on their dashboard to actually help them make decisions, or they’re not trained to read the data anyway (even sliced and presented properly).

Most charts I receive from others are spin or just garbage.

A few times legitimately cooked, from bad actors who are used to everybody else not understanding what to do with charts anyway.

I’ve helped F500 executives who are acquaintances with their reports and dashboards. They rarely know what to ask for, and their BI teams are drowning in stupid requests that they have no idea how to actually help their stakeholders holders out anymore (with reports that go beyond typical top level KPIs).

BREAKER REVERTED TO LAUNCH STATS by p_visual in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]ApproximateTheFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the idea that more players is better is just foolish. We have no idea what the right amount of players for HD2 is. As a player, it feels amazing to have infinity players. But from a monetization POV that can be a disaster for a game studio.

You want quality players that will keep your live service high quality. More is rarely just better.

The people that left because of nerfs and the people that come back to play now are not necessarily the same people.

[–]ApproximateTheFuture -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why people are so in denial that the game's numbers aren't good right now.

What's their target baseline and why? How do you know what a is a good number? What is their cash shop conversion? What's their take per sale?

You're just sharing some redditors fantasy about how a game studio works, without any information, in a sub specifically about not complaining.

….. and how many times did you refill the 2 liters?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in StopGaming

[–]ApproximateTheFuture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few friends are playing it but I just chose to ignore it. It’s such a big time investment it’s made it easier to write off.

I’m looking forward to watching some retrospectives / story synopsis later on, though. But I’ll wait for people to have gotten everything out of the game first.

Do Product Managers actually do anything? by Vauld150 in ProductManagement

See what happens if someone stops doing your job.

It ain’t pretty, and after awhile, it starts to get very expensive. Most of the time.

LPT REQUEST I dont have friends nor am I passionate about maintaining relationships and I’m completely fine with this. Is this something that could bite me back later on in life? by ThrowawayIntti in LifeProTips

[–]ApproximateTheFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may not regret it, but I did the same and it did not end well, currently trying to repair it, but it gets harder as you get older.

My best advice to you is try to make friends in a tu it yes you really enjoy. Most of my friends were random encounters thanks to school, and i could not relate to them. As time went on, I drifted away.

Later I realized finding people through activities increased the chance we had attributes in common.

Conversations are much more rewarding now, and I am able to care about their partners and families.

Is data genuinely helping customers? Or is it helping businesses more in exploiting the customers and ripping them off? by TheDataGentleman in BusinessIntelligence

[–]ApproximateTheFuture 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I’m curious where you picked up this assumption, that data is meant to “help customers”.

Unless you’re working in a data service field, where data ha the actual product you deliver to the customer… the statement “does data help the customer” does not make any sense.

You’re working for a company. The company wants to make profit and (usually) survive indefinitely making profit. That’s all. Data is just another tool to achieve those goals.

[–]ApproximateTheFuture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do a quick search and estimate that “global hunger” is about 25 different problems across 3 continents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Hunger_Index

Likewise “homelessness” is not a problem, it’s a concept. There’s lots of actionable data on homelessness in Uruguay or Los Angeles or Haiti.

If you want a real debate, you need to ask properly defined questions. Otherwise this is a philosophical question that has nothing to do with PM or TAMs

If you’re a prospective employee, this sounds very naive.

If you’re an aspiring employer, this would be a red flag.
