These are almost exactly my thoughts as well coming from a 2015 MBP. I would only add that for me, I actually like the new keyboard. The low/firm travel of the keys is actually pre…

Sure, that's possible but then you're just dealing with relatively blind speculation. I would assume there's no issues on the investment side unless there's strong reason to believ…

Primarily, from my understanding, it's related to diminished permitting and (most importantly) very lax zoning laws.

Stock market "correction" != recession. It's also not even remotely clear to me that a plot of 500 of the largest corporations in the US SHOULDN'T be growing extremely/exponentiall…

RMarkdown and Knitr are dramatic improvements in terms of final outputs and VC relative to notebooks. Notebook believers (Satan worshippers, imho) would suggest that notebooks are …

"people" aren't but you are able to for them? What makes you so much better than the workers at Amazon?

Citation needed. This makes no sense. There's always going to be heterogeneity in output per worker in every role. Amazon pays for a baseline of expected output and wants to ensure…

Possibly, but generally the difference is one of power structure. With OSHA, workplace safety laws are put in place to protect workers from the tyranny of their need for wages. Peo…

I'm not taking an absolutist view at all. I was asking questions challenging a blanket statement without any supporting evidence that the workers or society or some very broad conc…

Why? Are the workers completely and totally incapable of deciding for themselves what the proper tradeoff between increased income and whatever decreased health comes from working …

It was a really short doc and I didn't see it answer this question at all. Where do you see it answering it?

I think if you compare R's tidyverse to Julia, you aren't at all in Julia's wheelhouse. Julia's value comes from algorithm development primarily, not from interacting with data.fra…

This is fair. I don't have a ton of heat issues but they could allow me to easily bump fan speed earlier on in the process of heating up. Would be a welcome addition.

As an alternative, I personally love the keyboard of the 2018 Macbooks and I'm not sure I'm aware of dramatically better CPUs that could be put inside of them? Certainly my new 13"…

There are plenty of public companies that reach a steady state. What happens for those companies is their PE ratios shrink, they start paying out dividends and their expectation is…

They're only unsustainable if the employee's productivity is stagnant. If one year of experience increases an employee's productivity then you can more than happily increase their …

Are those really the people you fear the most?

Wow! I didn't realize that! Thanks for telling me. Very unfortunate given how much I value the service :(

It's not xenophobic to want or expect a country to protect its IP from a country known to openly flout such rules.

I would specify that you're actually a founder of The Lobby, because otherwise I thought this post was spam until I clicked into your user page.

That's untrue. Uber lost huge amounts of market share due to the scandals in 2017.

A great example of an executive who has led the rapid development of a business but drastically needed more mentorship would be Travis Kalanik formerly of Uber. Running a large and…

Most likely credibility, publicity, connections and mentorship that major VCs provide.

Maybe it's a part of _your_ problem but I don't think it's a part of _the_ problem. What OP said is correct. Democrats continue to escalate and promote legislation that is deeply i…

Yup and then some other proportion are actually people you know/are friends with. You probably occasionally reach out to the ones you know/are friends with and ignore those who lan…
