    Yep, companies give “unlimited PTO” because it’s a way to actually reduce the amount of PTO employees take.

    Give them 20 days PTO/year? They’ll take around 20 a year.

    Give them unlimited PTO? They need to justify every bit of PTO, so probably only get to take 4 or 5 for important days.













  • Words are inaccurate.

    It is perfectly possible to be tough on border security without treating people like sub human trash.

    You can make a border more difficult to illegally bypass, while also opening the gates to more to ensure that people are documented. Turning potential “illegals” into legal immigrants. This reduces the need to try and get through the border illegally. This is obviously a very basic over view, lacking any kind of thought into policy for supporting them.

    Of course, if someone’s definition of tougher on border security is “fuck off, we’re full”, with the border having razor wire and armed guards shooting on sight, then they would disagree with the above.






  • There’s always a trade off when it comes to any device.

    Fast or slow, lots of features or basic, cheap or expensive, thin/stylish or ruggedized, water or other ingress resistant standards. All of these have to be weighted against each other.

    Also what constitutes a drop? 4 feet, 40 feet, 400? (sorry if I turned on anyone with a foot fetish)

    It is absolutely possible to create a mobile phone with most features people want that survives multiple 4 foot high drops, but it will be encased in a few cm of rubber, the touch screen will be under a noticeable screen protector, and reception might suffer a bit, and it won’t have wireless charging unless you’re ok if that stops working after a unlucky drop. It will also probably be expensive, even more so if you then want to use more premium materials in order to try and slim it down some.
