Just a typo

Every MBA is cheering "I'm not going to replace people!" as they halve if not decimate teams

Meanwhile quotas stay up (or increase) and the free salary goes to the customer ("it's me, i'm customer")

There was probably some interesting points made in there.

We'll never know.

Nah, evaluating people is hard, we like the expensive tiebreaker that prospectives have to fund themselves.

It's not like our shitty method and made-up requisites are going to fuck things up decades from now.

Holy cow it was TWO SENTENCES people, you aren't getting the point if you trash half the data.

Truly you have a dizzying intellect.

You can't just announce how characters feel!

That makes me feel angry!

Massive gap between study and TFA, which has an entire army down here talking about the wrong thing.

Study didn't measure "computer tasks" it measured complex mental-juggling tasks, which happened to be on a computer. Imagine the skill to flip between a spreadsheet, a bank record, a calculator, and an email report describing the observations. The cognition is more common with computers but could be found planning a battlefield operation, or even just the multitasking in a chef's kitchen. Running any business really - which it turns out will involve a lot of computer software.

Sorry you all wasted your time, /. isn't the only place this thing is spreading. I don't know how they can go lower than the child-aimed GUIs of today but I doubt it'll increase people's productivity.

If the results are instantly deposited to my bank with no further action required I'll take the $2. The take-away I see is people don't have unlimited time and effort for the noise that gets offloaded onto plebs.

I'm not getting out of bed for a $5 gift card that only redeems through some phone app and/or requires creating an account.

Myself, I wouldn't bother with a $50 gift card that only redeems through some phone app and/or requires creating an account. I'd surely cave for $500. Or the five-dollar bill that has "no further action required" built right in.

This isn't really news, price tags have long since exploited mail-in rebates and other tediums. The expected n% that actually use it will have been well known from many such cases, people can't be assed and those that do become data.

I suppose this is what they mean by "induced value theory"? At a glance it seems to mention individualistic preference a lot, but the fact is a $50 bill is more valuable than a $50 gift card, there are places online where people try to barter them around p2p (at a loss, of course) there are places that offer cross-redeem services so you can pay service X with giftcard Y (at a loss, of course)

It wouldn't surprise me if other experiments resorted to EGC because it ends up costing them less than giving participants cash. Other events, giveaways, lotteries, so on.

We apparently don't want people learning what a joule is, so fuck it: Calories!

Headline must be meant for people unaware that rapid evolution is basically a lot of dead specimens and a few I've Got Mine.

All those zombie virus movies that showed the immune survivors in hovels and compounds are An Evolution Not An Extinction.

Court rulings have been found to become more lenient after noon. "Justice is what the judge ate for lunch."

Which seems like a more basic satiety and contentment reflection than TFS, I suppose, which sounds oriented around winter blues and circadian light and whatnot.

How do you feel about trust it because?

I was under the impression that yawns are contagious as an alertness mechanism, putting off sleep for the activity in progress, even guard duty or whatever.

Laughter being somewhat opposite, a disarm flag, everyone expresses relief at an unresolved stimulus (rustling bushes reveal a rabbit not a tiger, or maybe even active tiger slain) being resolved and signals to trade adrenaline for relaxants. Humor being built atop the same resolution mechanism, an inconsistency (anomaly, threat) presents unexpectedly, is very abruptly solved and the all-green sounds.

So probably not directly related but conceptually yeah, might be the same thing, digestion is considered a pretty "auxiliary" process and gets shelved by even a whiff of fight-or-flight, and excretion being shelved is basically its default state. There's that whole theory about dogs glancing at you while they dook, confirming security at their most vulnerable. The more urbanlegend variant of them watching you. Anyway it wouldn't be weird for pre-endeavor peeing to invite peers to pre-pee, flags the situation as safe and relaxed, an all-clear to oblige the voiding. An icing of "social cohesion" would come after, could potentially displace the originally-evolved niche. Doubling down on territory scenting is kind of a lazy idea but still a valid one.
