From a girlfriend who was my intellectually superior (which I had a hard time dealing with) You are responsible for your actions - no one else. "But I did it because...". No. You c…

I don’t know Gilbert Ryle but I believe I understand the paper as intended. What do they realize then instead?

Can you elaborate on why you think the paper is flawed please?

“… rules are coordination mechanisms that carry the capacity to destroy value” Excellent phrasing :)

> This is an abstract response to a concrete demonstration of usefulness. Brilliantly articulated - thank you. I wonder if this is a generic pattern (like fallacies)?

It’s one guy. Making a useful tool. It even has an altruistic purpose. Shame on you for twisting a well intended effort into a negative statement that suits your narrow identity po…

How has it been corrupted?

Because the word "housewife" invokes a fuller mental image of what general boring conditions those two women might be living under?

From a manager point of view: In your shoes I would make a decision to either fix/improve the situation or leave immediately. If you decide for the former then make sure you have s…

You're right - not the best analogy in this case. Not sure about the race car though. I will think about that. Analogies aside... Let's agree that estimation is possible to a certa…

Complexity exists in interaction between parts - not necessarily the parts themselves. Breaking down a project do not take those interactions into account. Even if we were to try c…

I make a distinction between physical violence and what you refer to as harm. I do not believe people must be protected from harm in that manner. Words can be hurtful but they do n…

Those statements are not in opposition to each other, > Because obviously walking around and insulting people based on their race or religion is an act of violence If you define an…

> Plenty of people are being harassed in public for their sexuality, race, etc. Harassment, regardless of motive, is illegal. Is there a need to make it more illegal? > you don't n…

You're conflating the right to express oneself with the right to act violently. Those two are not the same hence the same logic does not apply.

That's a very big "just". What good is an opinion if you cannot express it?

Hating someone is an opinion. It is not an act of violence. I disagree with both of those laws.

We are talking about freedom to speak - not freedom to kill.

Consequences and freedom are two separate things don't you think? If you openly state that you hate a certain group of people that will have consequences. I still support your free…

Freedom of speech is absolute. One cannot outlaw what one does not want to hear. If you want your freedom to speak you are required to let other people speak. It's really that simp…

"Paul Graham believed it was much easier to teach great Software Hackers how to business..." I agree "And your organization with 3 levels of technical management and all those divi…

I don't think it's an issue with my argument but I do think the difficulty of grasping the bigger picture is a major issue. It can be reluctance to understand why you're doing what…

Ha - yes, you're right it sounds like a tautology. I worded my answer to reflect the absolute statement of no manager is ever needed. "Shouldn't the creators and clients have a maj…

My answer was intentionally phrased to mirror the absolutism of the GP. A large part of my time is spent explaining why certain process is in place or why we cannot get a license f…

Nah, we're not talking past each other but we likely come from wildly different backgrounds. To make a general statement saying managers are not needed is as silly as saying all de…
