Anything that goes in my body I am hesitant to buy from Amazon. Hopeful cautiousness is my take.

The speed at which enshitification is being unleashed surprises me each and every day.

I have yet to be impressed by internal software tools developed by one team and consumed by another. You're likely being friendly and understating the degree of jank which is present.

Paying for rideshare and waiting for delivery is cheaper than paying the $10k markup for the drive-off-the-lot-today option.

In some areas, properties get a tax reassessment after a sale. The LLC abstraction avoids the reassessment.

It could be premature to place fault with the SEO industry. Think about the incentives: Google puts articles out, but an SEO specialist might have empirical knowledge from working for a various number of web properties. It's not that I

I'd be willing to accept a 0.25% less return annually on the S&P index if workers had meaningfully better existences. It might even increase returns if workers could be more productive by having dignified lives. This is the best wa

It's refreshing to see cloud computing costs matter. Hopefully it'll cut down of needless cloud complexity and the proliferation of indirection in software abstractions of the last decade.

Higher churn in India (people quit after a few months) and the quality of the talent. There is talent that is at parity with US, but it's a smaller pool and the cost delta is much smaller. With India, you can choose your own price poin

Over time, I've come to find these types of announcements strange. We've just had Fitch downgrade the debt and the market threw a fit. But now, seemingly 48 hours later, we're past that? It just doesn't square up in my m

I think the quality of the median engineer is declining. The finer details like putting the full timestamp in an HTML attribute are lost on these new people. I also think they skipped learning fundamentals and jump into React and didn'

How far can this argument be extended? We can go back to vanilla JS/HTML/jQuery; these are all "easy to understand" things. But then too much spaghetti code builds up and then progress grinds down (much like in the Ramda

It sounds like something that could be solved with a chargeback. Does the matrix account for that?

The top quintile makes up a disproportionate portion of total consumption, so 1 laid off high-earning worker can have more second-order effects than 1 laid off middle-quintile earner.

The US House has a ceremonial mace that represents the legislature's authority. A few members have invoked mentions of it in heated debate, and it's been walked about the floor to maintain order. https://en.wikipedia.or

Even large organizations can have fairly regular availability issues. I appreciate the noted flaws of "single point of failure", but I also see orgs where 100s of people have access to the infrastructure, make a change, and then i

Hairs per cm^2 is one metric (per the mentioned numbers) an 11% increase. By ridiculous, I presume a connotation of "not material" or "not worth the effort" (and for some, it isn't, because they don't respond t

Opining that "everything should be simple" is a sign of having been in the management class for too long and not being in the weeds.

Couldn't having payments settle so quickly result in increased risk of overall system instability? I don't have a specific example, but I'm thinking of things like bank run panics. I'm sure this sort of thing would have

Homesellers must 'learn to live' with buyer affordability placing serious stress on the market. You can't raise monthly mortgage and interest payment by 40% over a year and expect that to have no impact on the market.

Well, it employs a lot of people to have this complex billing. And whoever argued the need for it got to do some major empire building, maybe scored a promotion.

Everyone needs to learn to do calculus by hand before advancing to the calculator. People picking up frameworks without fundamental understanding is a shockingly common fallacy.

Higher up in thread, people are saying there is no desktop client. iOS/Android only. Here I see links, and now I'm confused.

The last decade has taught us to expect enshittification and we can only be left to wonder how quickly they'll execute on that process. How terrible can they make the product, without you leaving, is the min/max profitability opti

Demand for exclusive institutions by the elite won't go away if you ban legacy admissions. Expect some new unaccredited institution to open up, and that's where they'll attend.

I found the NYT article a bit persuasive in that, very few people end up going to elite institutions anyways. Regardless of race, it's a very small pool. You could allocate 100% of admission slots to one race (not a policy suggestion,

I recall at some point a huge flood of ads for TRT and Testosterone boosters, seemingly out of nowhere. A bit separate from the whole line of more typical products from companies like Hims (for hair loss, ED, etc). For that reason, I don&#x

Plus, health care spending is like >10% of GDP. You don't rewrite the rules like that with upsetting a great deal of corporate interests. An appreciable number of people benefit from all the inefficiency in delivering health care.
