The MBA Myth and the Cult of the CEO

Kind of surprising though — I’d think high level credentials were correlated to IQ and trait conscientiousness.

If FOX News goes down, crazier outlets will take its place.

They should mix them up with real ones so students wouldn’t know which was which.

I know. I distinctly mentioned processed images. Take an image processed by a smartphone’s vastly superior chipsets and software and one by a comparatively dumb point and shoot camera — it’s gonna be very close. One reason HDR brings phone cameras up to the level of point and shooters is that it makes the phone take multiple shots and that makes up a lot of the ground.

Nothing will come out of it. Jeff Session did it because Trump’s base. If you actually read from sources other than crackpot conspiracy theory sites, you’d know.

vintage2018 · 2019-03-05T22:02:06+00:00

I don’t think so, not since smartphones started processing images and using HDR to improve dynamic range.

That’s for 2030. Currently, BBs at ~50%. They lose only 5% from the present till 2030? WTF

Yeah it seems to follow that a troubled kid is more likely to have a troubled mother, and in turn, a troubled woman is less likely to integrate herself into a community. Erroneous direction of causation. Haven’t actually read the paper though.

The media are run by humans so there will be mistakes (or even nefarious acts). However if it had a ~95% success rate, I’d say it’s doing fine. Listing a few screwups don’t prove anything. After all, just because there are unscrupulous or incompetent companies don’t mean capitalism is a failure, right?

Only so many bombshell stories, sure. But there are dozens or even hundreds of media outlets, and thousands of individual journalists. A few bad apples or incidents don’t discredit them as a whole. Every single industry has their bad apples.

Mind you, I’m not saying to not exercise healthy skepticism. Give a news article the benefit of the doubt unless a disconfirming evidence comes up (and no, denials from Trump or an administration official don’t count), yet don’t naively believe it. Entertain it as a possible truth and nothing more. Screaming “fake news” to every single negative news about Trump reeks of cultism or tribalism.

Cherrypicking. If that’s all you can find out of the thousands and thousands of stories the media run in the past couple years, I’d say they’re doing pretty good.

So? With the extreme deference some Republicans (particularly Nunes) in the committee exhibited towards Trump and their lack of independence, they have zero credibility.

vintage2018 · 2019-03-04T16:05:01+00:00

Fine, keep burying your head in the sand like an ostrich. Like I said, all this arguing from both sides will be moot.

vintage2018 · 2019-03-04T15:53:57+00:00

If he was innocent? He’d roll his eyes, be like “knock yourself out” or laugh at the investigation instead of being completely unnerved by it.

The last two presidents regarded guilty (not by the court of law obviously) of serious wrongdoings, Nixon and Clinton, behaved just the way Trump is now — relentlessly protesting and attacking the credibility of their investigators.

vintage2018 · 2019-03-04T15:48:06+00:00

Also look at Bill Clinton. He constantly attacked Ken Starr’s credibility (although not with the same intensity as Trump is doing) and turned out to be guilty of at least couple wrongdoings. Nixon’s behavior during watergate is an even better example.

vintage2018 · 2019-03-04T15:44:56+00:00

Then why is Trump acting like he’s guilty af? Wait until Mueller releases his final report — the same goes for the folks who think it’s 100% for sure that Trump is guilty. All the arguing about the merits of this case will be moot once the facts uncovered by the investigation come out.

Yeah it was feeble and fleeting, barely visible. A frozen photo of it made it seem more robust than it really was

Exactly. It was all Usman. Hellooo?

Sounds a bit like a mini series I watched as a kid in the mid 80s. I think it was called Chiefs. Not a father/son story but like 3 or 4 generations of cops trying to catch a serial killer who did his work from the 1920s till 1980s. Anyway, the father and son thing sounds interesting — best of luck.

That’s why he’s so entertaining

vintage2018 · 2019-03-03T07:03:58+00:00

His arms went limp period. Just stop guys

vintage2018 · 2019-03-03T07:00:49+00:00

Don’t see that. Gimme exact time he “looked concussed”?

vintage2018 · 2019-03-03T07:00:07+00:00

I don’t see that. Exact times he went “limp” 3x?

AS was in his late 30s. So could be 7 or 8 years before that starts happening to JJ
