Rank Down Dec 19, 2011 @RxF - The engineers use their special powers to block the ads and web trackers, so the advertisers are deprived of feedback from that demographic. The resulting advertisements then skew wildly toward quackery and snake oil. It's the e-commerce equivalent of what engineers call an open loop.
As this strip is so popular with engineers, and presumably other educated people with a sceptical/rational outlook on life, why is it thought appropriate to advertise quack cures ("one weird old tip", "dermatologists hate this woman") and share tippers ("three shares that will double in value in a week")?
Rank Down Dec 19, 2011 If you are gettin paid by a 60 hour week is beneficial (as you get paid overtime). If you are getting a flat salary and work 60 hours a week. Each hour you spend working for someone else is an hour less of your life for doing your things. An ideal situation is that you are in a job you like for a purpose you love. Thereof you are living to the fullest the time you spend on the job. But we do not live in an ideal world so its seldom the case. Thus is important to make it worth your time (aka life). If you work 40 hours, you can spend 20 hours doing that killer project on your own. For example, you might want to write a book or work on an invention.
