Having worked for a major dispute resolution provider, these conversations generally leave out a lot of context. Lots of Gell-Mann Amnesia. First, 90% of arbitration is between fir…

This was a valuable insight, thank you. I've heard similar justification for farm subsidies; paying them not to grow food, to keep prices sufficiently high. It seems wasteful until…

I've really enjoyed "graphic audio" adaptation of books with better sound effects, voices, and adaptations to the medium. Too bad it's not a wider selection. https://www.graphicaud…

I would pay a token amount to only show my friends' updates, all my friends updates, in reverse chronological order.

All models are wrong. Some are useful.

Nah Alex doesn't use that many slashes as an alternative to grammar.

I was thinking of "new world" when I wrote the comment. It's essentially the most "design by committee" MMO possible, and the reviews reflect the poor attempt. Weirdly, MMOs actual…

Hmm, while these may be the emotional pangs of going through the process, there is a much greater failure that destroys much more value (both monetary and tangible benefit). Joinin…

"Consistent with Red Hat’s open source heritage, Red Hat plans to open source StackRox’s technology post acquisition." Is this normal for red hat acquisitions?

Transcription of zoom calls and other "recorded for quality assurance" support calls are already being fed into sentiment analysis to determine customer satisfaction. Employees are…

What are the best software driven coordination systems for promoting collective action? Would love less mainstream examples. Seems like there's more opportunities than feedback mec…

This is management porn. Faster, cheaper, better - pick all three and throw in an extra, and you unlock innovation! Innovation is cultivated independently of project constraints. D…

Is the bit on freelancer stats even ballpark accurate? If so, that's a major surprise to me.

Are the tracks actually parallel? Had she gone into management after 5 years, how would the compensation, promotion opportunities, or job opportunities have differed? I see many pe…
