" ... First, I’ve been working from home for well over a decade now. So nothing has changed on that front with the pandemic. However, I now have three teenagers in the house all day and my wife working from home — on top of two large dogs and a pair of cats. And it’s winter, so everyone is stuck inside instead of hanging out in the back yard. That means I’ve had a lot of opportunity to experiment with the ANC. On its mild setting, most background noise from the ground floor (I’m in an office upstairs) is drowned out. At the strong setting, the clicking from my mechanical keyboard is dulled and I can’t hear it when my wife prints to the shared printer in my office. I can still hear the dogs barking, though. Not as good as ANC in over-ear headphones, but pretty effective for earbuds. ... "
" ... I still believe that if you're talking, you're not listening. But I've learned lately that even if you're not talking, you still might not be listening.

Auditors who are higher on the Dark Triad are consistently effective as watch dogs. While lower Dark Triad auditors can be negatively influenced by social forces, this effect ceases after they become knowledgeable of any misreporting by management,” Hobson says. “The lower Dark Triad auditors recovering and reducing their trust after being misled was an expected but comforting development.” ...

" ... Residential patterns have moved in tandem, and perhaps with even greater drama. Many former urbanites have left the city, because there is no advantage to living near a closed office and because the anti-virus quarantines and lockdowns have dulled the allure of urban living altogether. These people have set themselves up in the suburbs. And because the suburbanites have stayed put, the relative supply and demand for housing has skewed. Data are spotty and not as current as one would like, but the picture is clear, nonetheless. Suburban properties listed for sale have been snapped up by the urban refugees. An industry source, Realtor.com, notes that the inventory of suburban dwellings for sale has fallen by some 40% from year-ago levels, and those houses on the market are spending 20% less time waiting for a buyer than previously. Suburban home prices are rising at about twice the pace of their urban equivalents. ... "
