One of the founder's daughters of my old company was dating a guy who worked at Glassdoor and she bragged to us in a department meeting how she would have him delete all our negative company reviews.

I see this backfiring in their face. I doubt the people who aren't paying for Netflix will respond to them cracking down on password sharing by opting to pay for their own Netflix.

From the article, yikes:
> "On April 27, Matthew Truebe, a former vice president for the company, filed a lawsuit that claimed Cerebral’s chief medical officer told employees his goal was to prescribe stimulants to 100% of Cerebral’s ADHD patients."
Also, $4.8 billion valuation? woof.

Immunology Made Ridiculously Simple is also fantastic for clinicians and people who like dumb medical jokes and cartoons :) https://www.amazon.com/Immunology-Ridiculously-Simple-Massou...
The entire "made ridiculously simple" series is fantastic, it's run by a retired MD professor who basically drew cartoons to help learn on his way through med school and throughout his career as a professor.
Reminds me of my mother's secret pie crust recipe. It has vodka in it. Comes out perfect, buttery and flaky every time!
> Anyone else find them just too bulky for something you wear all the time?
Nope! As long as it's robust enough to hold up and not get scratched or smashed while I slam it in the car door or whack it against the cage at the gym or whatever else clumsy thing I do each particular moment, I think bigger is better.
> Does anyone have an opinion of open salaries?
I worked at a large hospital system where our salary "bands" were all a matter of record for everyone else in the School of Medicine and it was awesome. You could see what level people were and what their band range was but not their specific W-2. It was fair and transparent and the bands were small enough ranges that you know when you were a Level A vs a G what you were looking at so you didn't have much cost of living anxiety etc and could reasonably calculate if you could afford to rent a nicer apartment when you got your promotion.
It made the workers have sort of a "yeah we all work here because we love it and we all get paid shit and we still love what we do" type of communal gripes.
By contrast, another large public hospital, one of our competitors, has individual drill down public salaries BY PERSON (you can literally google the docs, plug them in and see their exact specific salary) and that seems imo a bridge too far, at least for private employees to ever accept in corporate world. I thought the "bands" added enough privacy that people were comfortable with it but doesn't let your stalker ex boyfriend in Worchester come snoop your take home pay.
Stanford has a pneumatic tube system for lab samples and it's several miles long and you can tour it!

I would abuse the FUCK out of a burrito delivery pneumatic tube system to my house and would become orca fat.
The snake is eating it's own tail, reddit has become /r/assholedesign
> We usually see many downfalls when companies redesign.
Exactly! I'm still salty about "new reddit."
We care about your redesign because we don't want to have to get used to a whole new less functional UX.
Heh. My inlaws have a "hobby" farm. It is the worst damn hobby I've ever heard of. It is a ton of goddamn work! And they can never go anywhere because the animals need constant care and feeding. It's expensive and endless tasks to do. They're fulfilled and they like it, but they're also trapped by the farm. I enjoy visiting, but that lifestyle aint for me.
> Doing the dishes, cleaning up, doing repetitive tasks that has a low attention requirement is perfect.
But I already finish up all these tasks during routine family phone calls to my mother and my mother in law. :P
I think requiring a starter comment for submissions would be helpful and up the quality of submissions. Not sure if HN has ever tried that?
Plus when you wake up and work out first thing if you're naturally lazy and slothful like I am you can't make up an excuse later in the day to get out of it because you already did it on autopilot first thing while you were still half asleep and just waking up!
I stretch on my back deck while listening to the birds chirping at first light and I feel like goddamn Cinderella. It's quite idyllic.
Hummingbirds literally zoom over to check me out. I did make a hummingbird feeder hat to wear during the pandemic though it's nowhere as cool as this dude's: https://cdn.trendhunterstatic.com/thumbs/double-feeder-hummi...
Then after yoga and a little meditation with the breath app from my apple watch I walk the dog, make a banana protein smoothie for breakfast and have a coffee while doing a few rounds of Duolingo. Then jump into morning calls.
Agree with Dr. Dshiv that having a full glass of water is great too!
/r/TrueReddit and /r/FoodforThought subreddits are both pretty interesting and tend to have insightful long-form articles.
