There’s a few issues in this article but two big ones. increased supply is actually good no matter what the size, too many 4 beds? Drives down the price of 4 beds, 3 beds get cheaper to compensate etc. It’s actually much better than the al

If there is injustice, then the correct response is to recognise it and combat it, not to do nothing whilst it continues. The problem with your appeal to treating people on merit is often merit is the result of unequal conditions. So all yo

I don’t think it’s particularly surprising that young people going directly into retail jobs have poor functional numeracy or literacy. Firstly, those with academic skills or other skills will either be getting further education or going in

I see this criticism of CRT/wokeism etc very often and I really want to address a point about people talking past each other. Proponents of CRT don't say they want to divide people based on group characteristics, they say people

>SparkFun's criticism is kind of painful to read. The diagram that SparkFun claims is SPI is not SPI. The discussion that SparkFun claims is malloc is entirely unrelated to malloc. Yeah this is where my spidey sense started tingling

To be fair, I think they're basically orthogonal problems. I'm not a Musk fan - I think his public statements about autonomous driving are horse shit, but I don't think any one working on a hatchback Tesla would be better foc

You don't need to work in an extremely repeatable domain to get good at estimation. There is very little in my day to day job that is repeatable, but I can roughly look at the project I'm on and compare the scope of it to the proj

Actually I think it's the opposite - online advertising is so ineffective all this micro-targetting is the minimum required to persuade people to throw their money away. In reality how do I target someone in New York? I buy an ad in th

I suspect it's for neither. It's to fulfil some metric. They either want investor money or IPO money and either way, they want people in their app because their app is way over-valued compared to monthly impressions.

I don’t know think people are really engaging with the substance of what is being said here. What he’s saying is that stable coins are backed by funds in money markets. If there is a run on them it’s likely to crash the markets where the ba

Isn't the physical reality that the top women in any sport are also going to be extreme outliers in terms of their physical make up. There's huge variance in biology between women but we don't adjust for this in sport, we jus

Seems fine to me, but without actually having someone's objection explained it's difficult to say. The problem with these situations is that actually I've definitely witnessed situations in the past where I've seen somet

The issue with it is that if your performance isn't up to scratch managers are more incentivized to force you out than to work with you to get your performance up.

There's 3 circular things at work there - land value has gone up, interest rates dropped making total cost of ownership go down, and therefore the land value has gone up creating a good investment. If I borrow 500k at 1% interest I&#x2

How exactly do you type mu? On a chalkboard writing the mu sign is trivial, on a computer... well I don't have a mu button. Edit: There are like 5 replies to this mentioning different ways of doing it (including memorizing 3 digit unic

If I’m reading this correctly, it would be the security of my phone that would suffer if I chose to side load apps. So what’s the problem. Stick a pop up on the installer saying “woah there” and be done with it.

As others have pointed out, the US has completely shot itself in the foot. Large corporations and their biggest shareholders have been systematically moving themselves out of the tax base. So now when the US tries to use the tax code to enc

Reminds me of "Smart" motorways in the UK - they're "Smart" in that you can drive on the hard shoulder when there are no accidents. When there are accidents, the hard shoulder is meant to close and the motorway retu

I don't really doubt that mediocre men often fail up - I've witnessed it myself. But this isn't a great title, the conclusion that mediocre men fail up is from the qualitative part of the survey in other words - women believe

Even if you can replace the workers high rates of attrition and loss of trust in senior management is still likely to cause significant problems.

Isn't this just.... inflation? Amazon is worth N Billion dollars, rent is expensive, food is expensive and workers are thinking that maybe working one of the worst jobs available to them isn't worth $15h.

There's something uniquely amusing about a chart that has an axis that goes $2,$4,$6,$8 and then in the title (trillions).

If that's true, making them more similar in terms of both risk and yield to investing in the stock market than putting your money in savings. Plenty provide no yeild - hence why they're stable coins.

Yeah this is my problem with crypto - even the big institutions around it come out with absolute bullshit. Sorry but no, stable coins aren’t a reasonable place to store your savings and it’s insane to be telling people that.

No it didn’t. First - a driver was required in the vehicle meaning they either had to break laws around driving shifts or use 2 drivers - which you can already do. Second - the driver had to drive both the start and end of the journey. This

To people who existed in 2020. Let's take the example someone else mentioned of Uber. Uber is worth close to 50% more than it was worth at the beginning of 2020. This is what I mean by talking about the macro effects, as we get back to

These valuations are crazy - meaning one of two things are going to happen in the mid-term. Either we see inflation outside of asset prices (wage rises, increased consumer spending) and the revenue of these companies rise to justify the val
