karoshi, from working in a tribe
To me, what the sweatshop image conveys is very long hours of work, unfair compensation, a lack of control over one's work life and a feeling of tremendous insecurity. And I think that all of those characteristics are very powerfully true in a lot of people's lives.
There are 25 million of us who are putting in more than 10 hours each day at the office. And for many people that is the beginning and not the end of their workday. They're the ones who are working during their commutes, after they put their kids to bed at night, on weekends and while they're vacationing. They feel that their jobs can never be done. The workloads have gotten so enormous that they're inescapable.

tired, old answers to the question of why this browser is so good
When compared to browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox is light years ahead. Microsoft will need to do some serious footwork to catch up to the usability and functionality of this browser. Seriously. For instance, you can load extra functionality such as more precise ad blocking, mouse gestures, website registration bypassing, dictionary, user agent switching, complete page and textbox searching, text zooming, UI tweaks, and the list goes on.
talks in math, and buzzes like a fridge
Every finite real number, no matter how large, has a well-defined value for sin/cos. Ideally, the floating-point result returned for sin/cos would be the representable floating-point number closest to the mathematically defined result for the floating-point input. A floating-point library having this property is called correctly rounded, which is equivalent to saying the library has an error bound less than or equal to 1/2 an ulp (unit in the last place). For sin/cos, writing a correctly rounding implementation that runs at a reasonable speed is still something of a research problem so in practice platforms often use a library with a 1 ulp error bound instead, which means either of the floating-point numbers adjacent to the true result can be returned.

what is your deepest fear
”Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
