I maximize for my enemies' pain
- glitchc 3y agoDoes it maximize your pain too?
- marcosdumay 3y agoWell, you can't optimize for 2 goals...
- omginternets 3y agoYes you can. It’s called multivariate optimization. I suspect you are confusing this with the idea that you can always optimize one variable further than two.
- hangsi 3y ago"Irrelevant!"
- antognini 3y agoIt's easy to do if you are your own worst enemy.
- commandlinefan 3y agoI assume you're joking... but it's hard to miss how much of corporate life becomes a game of chicken where managers try to find how hard they can push workers before the workers push back - or, to what extent workers will sacrifice rest and their own well-being for continued employment. Of course, the manager has a manager who's pushing them, too.
- kbenson 3y agoThere are likely many points in a work environment where the local minima and maxima of work output and employee happiness meet. The important thing is to remember that those are balanced in the small, and that a wider perspective may yield a better outcome on both measurements if you care to search for it.
