Family + Career = 0? Of course it isn't. If it were, success would be an automatic by-product of your family's misery. What a silly, silly, statement.

- froo 17y agoExactly, there are even situations where one's family is the reason for whatever semblance of career they have. Look at that Octomom person (I never thought I'd reference her on HN). Her entire "career" is based around her ability to breed. I think it's entirely wrong to say you have to choose between one and the other, because there are lots of cases where the model is broken.
- sokoloff 17y agoZero sum doesn't mean that the two terms literally sum to zero, just that one trades off directly against the other. Family + Career = K would be the algebraic expression of it.
