To some extent, it may be the messaging, not the amount. The limit being in place is labeling those creators as "value-less" (vs others, who do have value). In theory, I see it much like the idea that putting a price of $0.01 on s

Looks like you're arguing just to argue now. The analogy was making the point that more than just "the person in charge" is responsible for bringing in the money. Nothing more. The point of an analogy isn't to have every

That feels like saying it's a restaurant owner that brings in money, not the staff. If the professor couldn't do all the work on their own, then it's the team (which includes the RAs) that's bringing in the money. Sure,

Using an IDE for Java will, in general, make you orders of magnitude more productive. Not because of generated files or anything like that, but because it can recommend methods, auto-fill in details, add imports, etc. That kind of things sa

I'm not sure "I respect your decision to have a sad and empty life" is as wonderful a parenting statement as you seem to think it is.

> The whole point of the day job is just to pay the bills while you build your business which will make you rich. Not for me it's not. I have a day job because it's a relatively low risk, stable way to acquire the money I need.

They said that many of their coworkers that had children seem like shells of their former selves. Not all of them, and not by definition. You are saying that anyone that doesn't have children automatically empty and sad. - One of the s

It might be empty and sad _for you_, but that doesn't mean it is for everyone. Each person has their own things they enjoy. You sound exactly like the people telling everyone "spend your money on experiences, not things" beca

The counter to that is that there's a lot of room _under_ that median case, too. Not everyone needs to be at or above the average. Not everyone _can_ be at or above the average.

The people you hear most vocally for many things (for example, video games) are the ones that are listing the problems with it. They're also the ones that are doing it the most, by choice. As a general rule, it's common for the vo

I like to say that, in being a parent, I'm less happy on an "instantaneous" basis, but more happy overall; more fulfilled. I expect, to some extent, it has something in common with volunteering at a charity. It's not the

There's nothing innate to the universe that defines things this way. But they, as a society, have defined things that way. They, as a society, worked together to build up the infrastructure and the resources that are on top of that inf

Most humans are both good (empathy is a strong thing) and greedy (wanting what's best for yourself and those are you close to is also a strong incentive). Balancing those two, sometimes opposing, desires is part of being human. It&#x27

If you didn't get paid for writing the book, how did the copyright transfer to someone else (so that they could sell it)? Or the transferable rights to print/distribute it, if that's what we're talking about here.

I have to use Notion for work sometimes and it makes me so angry. It just... it's painful trying to do anything with it. It's like the entire thing was written by junior devs who thought "hey, we can do this cool thing"
