Tell that to the people who pay for research and the metrics they use to continue feeding those who perform research. Ultimately, this is the problem.

In the US, there is a huge market for those peddling certainty and reduced risk while also taking on very little liability of risks associated with the work. People love security theater where some professional swoops in and assures them ev

Not being correct is stigmatized in all aspects of society anymore, thanks to ever increasing business leadership mentality invading our culture. Being wrong, failing, etc. is no longer acceptable. You have to provide the appearance of succ

If you want to see extremely toxic, combine this mentality from the business side with confirmation bias from developers who think the same way. You get development efforts with massive scope people brush off as nothing. I've worked wi

I think it's just an argument against a unilateral decision by NVIDIA under the facade of morals. Businesses aren't people and don't have morals, everything they do is strategic and profit motivated, even if the people that c

I've always thought that the existence or lack of concise words that describe such things (or don't) says a lot about a culture. The word exists in Japanese because it's such a common problem in their work culture, and it&#x2

I didn't say voters shouldn't petition their representatives, I said organizations funded by a biased subset of voters shouldn't petition politicians for voters. That defeats the entire purpose of the current reprentative sys

The real power is consensus in an idea. Hopefully that idea is good but ultimately, you need critical mass to accept an idea or reject it. If people in the US really want to grab back power to the citizens of this country it can be done (pe

The necessary "glue" work that often doesn't get tracked but eats a lot of time, energy, and cognitive capacity is very often overlooked. I'm not saying that is or isn't what happened here. I've worked with a l

The intent is very important though. Your family beats you (hopefully, metaphorically) for poor metric performance because those are metrics of what they perceive as your future wellbeing. It's viewed as a proxy measure to your future

The $20 knock-off I picked up on Amazon for a Christmas rib roast reads quite accurately based on a calibrated scientific thermometer I compared it to and stabilizes to a reading in about 1-3 seconds. I didn't realize it was a Thermape

That sort of scenario preparation takes a lot of time for planning and design to support work-arounds. If the business thinks this is low risk, they won't invest, no matter how significant the scenario could be. Businesses train and pr

While I agree, this shouldn't be the case though. The lack of transparency and accountability from a government agency is absurd but then again, these values don't seem to matter anymore. This person should be able to get an exp

I think it's almost a tautology: Innovation happens where... innovation needs to happen. Which I think is fair. Innovation does also occur where it doesn't necessarily need to.

Pretty wild to think about how something we take for granted as never changing in daily life can actually change in human lifespans to things as fundamental as atoms and isotopes. Sure, there's radioactive decay but few interact with t

Interesting to see this down-voted. This is absolutely correct. Many like to pretend money and capital don't give a competitive advantage when that's entirely far from the truth. I think few people truly believe money guarantees

Apple has done this with a lot of devices throughout their history. They often don't create a tech, they refine something that's promising into something consumers like, usually with appropriate timing (ignoring the brand loyalty
