Your statement about "detailed firsthand knowledge" hit home and reminded me of a topic related to job/task automation--single points of knowledge. There is a big push at my employ…

I come away from from this article with two thoughts. 1) Regarding the example of qualitative data via drunk students attending eye-licking parties. The author doesn't explain how …

In my experience, reasons like "spontaneity" and "dynamism" are used to cast lack of vision, poor planning and management, and amateurish execution in a positive light. YMMV.

Agreed. When my wife was looking to replace her 2013ish Air and comparing M1 Air vs Pro, I told her I'd pay $300 not to have the touch bar.

> Nothing else allows the non-tech user to feel empowered like spreadsheets do. I'd say it allows the same for technical users as well since it helps bridge communication/knowledge…

I'm not familiar enough with the technology to understand the privacy implications--are operators able to identify/snoop on specific users? I'm wondering how easily a building owne…

I often wonder whether the solution is setting the expectation with companies that if they act in bad faith, their leadership will be om nom nommed? Apologies for the metaphor, it'…

I dream about one day opening a non-profit/co-op grocery chain called "Tarable Grocery". The capital outlay would be considerable of course, but ultimately and optimally, the chain…

I was about to say the same thing. I put $33k down and financed $208k at around 3.5% (in the Upper Midwest). Three years on my payments are about $1280, after increased taxes YOY.

Just want to take a moment to go give a tip of the hat to all down voters and those assuming I haven't spent any time researching/thinking about/discussing this topic. Alternativel…

It is extremely unlikely in this case that the employee was also the proprietor, so there is no "their". It was an individual decision, not a business decision.

Output should never be stable in theory as people will not always need the same amounts of the same things. Optimally, output of consumer goods would dwindle if they were made to l…

These considerations are requisite only in a capitalist system. In other economic models it is not a given that ”[i]nvestors...need to decide which businesses are viable... Workers…

It's not mean to express boundaries. Strangers offering unsolicited advice, regardless of intent, crosses a boundary for many people. And since the employee making the comment woul…

Pretty sure the cure is moving away from the capitalist mode of production.

Thanks, great info and references!

Exactly. Like using lines of code as a proxy for progress or success.

Agreed, and props anyway, but it does blow the bourgeoisie horn. I mean, how many kids even have the opportunity to entertain such an endeavor?

"...it's why the accelerator ring diameter has to grow to achieve higher particle energies. The LHC has a circumference of 27 kilometers." Please humor me. Does this mean that if t…

Completely agree. And unless one is sufficiently privileged to have the space to leave setups as is, one needs to factor in cleanup/storage.

I was attempting to say this above, more or less.

I agree with the drift of this but would not describe myself as being exhausted for those 2 hours. More like just unwilling to anything not personally regenerative.

And even more if on is committed to more meaningful interactions with their child(ren),and, like, walking the dog and whatnot.

They didn't fall for anything. They intentionally laid alongside Foxconn.

All good points. I wonder if instead of a voting mechanism, a site could crunch things like number of posts, type of posts, length of posts, frequency of posts, replies to posts, a…
