No. There’s more to this. My wife has hyperphantasia. She can imagine an apple in front of my face, with her eyes open, and she will see occlusion.

There’s no point to a country. It’s just a form of governance that is in vogue in the 21st century. Like every bureaucracy, a country wants to grow and survive. The homeless is also a very broad term. I think this sort of article doesn’t re

I truly believe limiting educational attainment for our smartest (or privileged, if you want) children is among the most obviously harmful things we can do as a society. It’s shocking to me that anyone can vote to make moves like that with

It’s perfectly reasonable to renovate a historical building, following appropriate techniques, so that it can be appreciated as it was during its time. Greek ruins would be less compelling without the extensive restoration work.

I wouldn’t personally support those companies, and I think most others wouldn’t either. But I think if a company was made of women who only want to hire women, that’s okay. Some laws are meant to bring fairness at a time of egregious unfair

My personal opinion is that it’s fine for an employee of my company to do comedy on the side, by the way. So it’s not about this case. It’s the principle that I’m highlighting

There’s two sides to freedom. Freedom of individuals to express themselves, and freedom of companies, which are also made of individuals, to want to work with each other. I personally think all employment should be truly at will on both sid

No. There’s mandatory unemployment insurance/tax companies pay that will float employees terminated without cause for a little time, depending on the state. But it’s not high. Large companies tend to give decent exit packages though.

Either they start coming to the office or their employment will be terminated. It’s not a resignation.

I find this article incredibly inspiring, and my interpretation is that the main character was fulfilled by these accomplishments. The person interpreting the journal uses the word “obsessed”, not as a direct observation, but to put it in c

A lot of comparison between AI safety and legal or security teams. It doesn’t hold. Nobody really knows what it means to build a safe AI, so these teams can only resort to slowing down for slowing down sake. At least a legal team can make r

How much do libraries matter now? Hard to say they matter as much as several decades ago.

You’re not being practical, hence you’re not adding any value to the conversation. How exactly would you slow the world down?

The machine wants you to work, and in return the machine gives you money, and some times other benefits. You don’t need to work. But modern life is probably better if you do. I’m personally tired of this debate. It sound like some sort of s

So far all the comments are against great person theory. But what is the counterpoint? Companies like Apple and spaceX are just inevitable and some lucky bastards will just stumble upon them? That’s nonsense. There might be more than one ca
