I didn't know you could do rain dances in Antarctica.

This is criminally underinvested.

Yes, this is what the quitting is about. There would be no reason to quit if someone more valuable than you also earns more; that just makes sense.

Malmo is barely Sweden, anyway :P

I have mentioned before - I hate Goodhart's law. It makes no sense. There is no example that is a good measure but a bad target. The canonical example I have heard is hospital emer…

I am toying with the idea of going to grad school, especially law, but with zero careerist ambitions, so nothing can be lorded over me.

China?

I feel like maybe there are a few other reasons why it was a traumatic experience.

1) It sounds from what you write that you agree, even if reluctantly so, because "there is no diff". For completeness sake, I want to clarify that I believe in something far strong…

Longest few days of your life, I bet.

Amen- I am generally like “I hope they are not sending their best... because that would be depressing”

Yes. Truth is manifest, instinctive, and potent. Complex arguments are desperate labyrinth constructed to hide a big lie in the middle of the maze, attempting to ensnare and exhaus…

Thank you, your comment helps me sharpen my thought. 1) Yes, you definitely need to know Latin to appreciate the Aeneid, I agree with this. 2) It is a comparatively low bar though.…

Oh actually that's a good point. Anodyne generic response might be positive.

If the seller/owner responds to a negative review, this is a red flag for me. Indicates a sort of hypersensitive, pressuring attitude. I empathize that they might wanna "tell their…

A skilled civil engineer can build you a building that an 80 year old illiterate grandma can recognize accurately as "hideous".

Hope you can make this happen.
