This is the right move. Unionise when things are good enough that labor can take a hit and keep standing, or when they’re so bad that people might actually die. Either way labor has a strong BATNA. Right now a lost of software work is kinda

We have a designated Election Day. It is (as you correctly imply) not a federal holiday. My own perspective is that that is indeed clearly discriminatory, and that some people like it that way.

> Every place in earth has a legal definition of who is human. I actually doubt that! And in places that do I doubt it’s perfection. Citizenship is mostly defined legally. Residency has a legal definition that may or may not track with r

That’s a pragmatic and understandable argument. And for an individual hobbyist site owner, that’s fine. Are we okay with excluding 1 person in 20 from the services of a midsized organization? What if they’re integral to the workplace? Or a

How do you define humanity? How do you ensure it includes every human? How do you ensure it doesn’t include every non-human? I’m not even asking about computation or algorithms. I straight up don’t think you can make a definition that isn’t

Interesting -- I stand at least in part corrected. It _is_ the case that there's regulations intended specifically to address this. It seems they're not 100% effective, though. What gets me about your linked cases is that, with on

A periodic reminder that you can buy a TV that's not smart. It won't be the fancy Samsung wall-art one and it won't be the absolute shiniest display tech out there, but it will be good enough, it'll be dirt cheap, and it

At this point what keeps me on Firefox is less the browser engine diversity than [tridactyl]( https://tridactyl.xyz/ ), without which I feel almost helpless in a browser.

Firing USDA inspectors etc. is definitely directionally stupid. But yeah, this issue is preexisting. A huge portion of USGov’s rules and regulations were written in response to the social push when stuff like The Jungle was hitting the publ

Indeed. I’d only reengaged with any Xitter content when I realized I could get it through xcancel. Without a door like this, it’s invisible to me.

The winning move is not to play (in a capitalistic sense). My best guess at a survive-and-thrive strategy for a subculture is to stay as far away as possible from any centralizing influences or infrastructure. Money is one of those. The mil

The future of ~2000 belonged to the weird, too. We commodified all that. Anything briefly and seemingly "quirky" is fodder for branding. Or you can go a little further than quirky, and someone like RFK will want to put you on a li

This is good advice. And if you don’t want to spend too much time reading about EA, imagine for yourself the inner dialogue of someone struggling with the tension between wanting to get really, really rich at any cost, and also really, real

Kind of an aside, but I’m genuinely surprised Moxie is still on Xitter. Feels misaligned.

I probably put !expert in half my searches and rely on Kagi for most of my research that isn't just agent context gathering (and a fair amount of what _is_ just context gathering). It's excellent and cites good sources.

Raising kids is fabulous experience for management. If you can convince a five-year-old that greens are tasty, you can motivate almost anyone.

I have had to very deliberately and repeatedly let myself off the hook for ambitions while parenting. There is SO MUCH that I am hungry to do, and none of it is as important as being fully present with my kids. Will there come a time when t

You are responding to the original article, authored by John Gruber, who, last I checked, has been writing his own damn text multiple times every damn day for multiple decades as a primary vocation. I’m willing to venture that Gruber is on

This is starting to feel like Twitter. For a variety of reasons, we had a centralized place where everyone of a particular set of persuasions could connect, and this had outsize benefits for the community as a whole. That place is becoming

At the risk of sounding* pretentious, the ping-ponging across the recursive footnotes is an intended and crucial part of the book. The whole "shattered narrative" was deliberately modeled on the experience of going through the exp

My favorite rubric for this is: give yourself permission to put the book down and never pick it up again at page (100 - your current age). Which means that, yes, once your turn 100, you're allowed to judge a book by its cover.

Makes sense. A lot of the community overlaps onto Substack. I find the format there slightly better, though the ownership is worse.

I don't know that SPICE was built for _usability_ in mind. I distinctly remember hand-drawing circuits on paper and numbering the nodes as I typed them into PSPICE because there was no schematic visualization functionality at all. I pr
