there's a new urbanist community, walkable, bikelanes, etc.. in my part of the midwest and it's teeming with children.

what's that theory?

> logical intelligence it's this that AI is stripping. the work is becoming systems thinking. not bad per se, but removing the small scale puzzle aspect of the job

didnt know, it's on my watchlist now!

this stuff was huge for a while, 20-25 years ago, digital libraries, information exploration, ... consider even things like minority report, or more prosaically, all the demos comi…

weight is the easiest measure. wear&tear on road, mpg, damage in accident all scale with weight

I consider myself reasonably competent, reached conventional milestones in a career in tech, did a thing here and there, and I'm reading this, sort of nodding along, and barely und…

dont know the laws well enough, but would be crazy indeed if companies could borrow against their own stock when they're issuing first new ones with sbc and then buy back on open m…

yep, clearly, just meant they're not cash strapped.

vacationing/digital nomading in belgium atm, it looks erhm rich. traveling between brussels, leuven, ghent, bruges, soon antwerp... people dress well, never been anywhere with so m…

i dont think this announcement will boost the stock either, for the same reason we are wondering here why 7% is noteworthy for a globocorp.

but none of this applies to elastic. it's cash flow positive, and has such a cash hoard it's doing stock buybacks.

i dont understand this either. just dont hire for half a year or so, a generic globocorp gets to that 7% easily.

isnt that just a temporary bottleneck? a self-confident generation might make the sacrifice. plus, the opposite of increasing isnt necessarily decreasing, stabilizing is another on…

absent productivity increases, population growth is just there to maintain the welfare state for retirees, it's a perpetuum mobile. apart from that, i dont even know what the benef…

yeah make sense, we do things, rationalize them later, i get it, i certainly am sensitive to it.

i put off children because it takes longer to establish a foothold. not because i loved to travel or eat out necessarily, or felt i needed to prioritize hedonistic activities over …

i'm probably pretty dumb but i don't really get what's so mathematical about sql.

the AI companies make way way too much revenue to be f*cked, and people are hooked and they have not tested limits of their pricing power yet.

i feel like starlink could be huge, why not the default internet connection for everybody. similar to how people abandoned landlines for cell phones.

Anecdotally it's true imho. accrual of benefits, sbc and wage-indexing, ... job hopping puts you at the ground floor of each, and salary jumps have narrowed.

that seems like a reductive truth in the other direction, i'd even say it's largely false. the wealth explosion in the high middle ages and significant rise in standard of living w…

i agree it's overestimated, and it's not "as bad" as many believe it to be. but it is worse. i get the lightbulb stolen from my garage light every month. that sort of petty crime i…

i live in the midwest and the core of the city is dirt cheap. people don't want to live here because of the crime and vagrancy. it's a foul atmosphere. i do live here with my child…
