I think this is exactly right. The thing that makes AI (imo) different than hitting the center option in text suggestions is that it's _not_ simply picking the most likely word fol…

You don't tell them they're not allowed. You ask them what they need from the meeting and how so you can free up the time from their calendar, or what they need to comfortably dele…

Outside of California they're sparkling ai labs.

Metal bodied planes are adjusted with thumb screws and levers - they just aren't accurate enough for fine work. Re: a woooden body, there are a couple reasons it's preferable despi…

Before the industrial revolution, there wasn't a ton of difference. If you look at a plane made in the early 19th century in both Japan and the US or Europe, they'd look pretty sim…

No, it's the failure to do anything about it. Americans got robbed of something between 20-40% of the purchasing power of their dollar depending on what they're buying. People aren…

Wages in aggregate outpaced inflation in aggregate. That's not necessarily going to make it feel like your living situation has improved, especially if your consumption patterns do…

I totally agree with everything you said about information asymmetry and responsibility to provide context. Maybe I didn't explain clearly: it's not an operational failing if someo…

I managed reviews like this as a team lead, manager, and director at three startups. There are a lot of misconceptions from employees about the process. It's true that managers hav…

The issue is that "stablecoin" doesn't mean anything legally. US regulators have collectively abdicated their responsibility to create fair rules that encourage innovation while pr…

Having lived in Brooklyn and Jersey City for a combined 12 years, starting when an office worker could still buy a literal house in Prospect Heights, I'm fully convinced that "gent…

Fellow former tradesman and perennial DIY-er here, I think this is dead on. There is a fundamental mismatch between the economics of startups and the economics of trades. Startups …

They happen. The company has no mechanism for determining that a person has entered into a contract unless someone tells them. Prohibitions on transfers prevent the cap sheet from …

I live in upstate NY - plenty of people rely on heat pumps as a primary source. You need backup systems for natural gas and oil in this climate too, for what it's worth. They won't…

This isn't unique to open source, the behaviors described are easily recognizable to anyone interacting with end users of SaaS or, really, any software. It does not matter how well…

It seems a bit of a stretch to suggest that the public at large "wanted" to adjust zoning laws to end up with a car-centric environment. Automakers created the concept of jaywalkin…

I'm an iOS user and spent 6 years working in the bowels of adtech. I'm generally skeptical of the industry. Apple's posture and position here seems like a net good for me as a user…

Of course, working at home is socially isolating and requires a different approach than working in the office... but _maybe_ this just means that some people are better suited for …

I'm pretty sure the folks who are for a debt jubilee are also for reforming bankruptcy rules, and there are folks who are in favor of reforming bankruptcy rules that aren't for a c…

We do, actually, at least in the US. It's called bankruptcy. We generally recognize that sometimes despite best intentions, debts become unpayable and in these cases, the debts get…
