In a nutshell I'm spending most or all of my time using the tools (keeping up with a queue) not working on them. To work on them I need either permission to fall behind in the queu…

It's not hell on earth but I think about "oh my god dude get another job!" at least once a week. My job is this "hybrid" of 50% software developer, which I want to do, and 50% of, …

In general, the CIA or any similar agency might "help" any government to either commit, or appear to commit, an act which is nominally "against" a popular movement, but which (thro…

I'm having a hard time figuring out which side is the CIA's people. Maybe both? I'm half joking, but also definitely wanted to plant that idea for the American readers. Wherever th…

I have absolutely no skin in this game.

Certainly agree about Germany - there seems to be no more anti-Nazi place than Germany today.

I found it compactly hilarious.

I'm sure it's a little bit tongue-in-cheek.

Everyone drinks some flavor of Kool-Aid. Confirmation bias: it's the human condition. Do and think whatever whimsical thing you want to, then do the cognitive contortions later to …

"How does it accrue?" might be a better way of asking than "Can we start taking it right now?"

It's always like that though. Everybody wants to be 'in' while things are soaring, but wants to be 'out' by the time it turns downward. Some people get out too early, successfully …

I'll bet part of why they're conflated is because every company that tries to hire 10X engineers, does it wrong and ends up hiring arrogant engineers. Not to mention, to the much m…

I don't think this is a generational or age thing strictly speaking. There are several confounding variables or you could say non-orthogonal axes. There's a "human nature" axis tha…

The part about defining identity is, I think, referring to the fallacy of seeing someone in a context, and then thinking that they "are" that. Like meeting someone who is angry and…

In addition to points by sibling comments, there's also the possibility that Lyme Disease wasn't the intended result, i.e. this was a failed attempt to create something more useful…

Absolutely - most bigger companies have silos and can make excellent use of things like this.

Is it that hard to see? Bird, at a minimum, is going to have to replace the destroyed scooter, at least if they want to maintain the same capacity to serve that area/market.

In other words, everybody's a parasite on something. Lakota Sioux were buffalo parasites. Vegans are parasites of Daucus carota and Beta vulgaris among other species. Parasites of …

This building is a masterpiece and a towering (no pun intended) achievement. If I were 18 I would make this my career, and today would be the day I would talk about with journalist…

Oh brother! This is kind of "concern-trolling" isn't it? "I'm concerned for you." Also see: "I'll pray for you," which passive-aggressive religious people say to simultaneously ind…

I use ridewithgps.com. The managing & editing of tracks & routes has always suited my needs. I think they offer some of the more social-networky features too, but I don't use them …

In some sense any technology is adopted or ignored based on its intrinsic merits or lack thereof. If we're about encouraging people to move to less-harmful technologies, making the…
