I find this article insufficiently neutral to be read as objective news. Seeing the articles suggested at the bottom, my opinion is more than redoubled. Even if I happen to agree with a message, I still think non-emotional and nuanced takes

I think a good parallel would be how would you feel as a manager if your employee jokes about quitting to go get more money somewhere else?

I've noticed this too. There are a number of common-phrases I'll hear like "everything is connected" or "everything is alive/sentient." However, not everything is connected, effective thinking is very much

If a majority of people are rebelling, then the pentagon's scenario should be how to help that majority reassert control over a runaway executive branch. No harm in having a scenario where a minority of people commit a domestic rebel

What a loaded article. Obviously "clear" and "direct" are both positive-spin words, indicating that the author thinks there's some value to this. As somebody who used to be incredibly blunt, and still is much blunte

So I guess my proposal is that any officer who carries a gun should be required to wear a "badge number" of some form, readable from 15-feet, on their back. The badge-number should be a ID that can be matched against a public webs

Moreover, imagine for just one second that github became the defacto way to interview candidates. Now every candidate starts hacking their github full of all kinds of code, or even paying people to, or copying work to create a perfectly man

Well I just learned about a website today that gives the list of the police who have been sued and their names and records. [1] I think maybe a better use of the public outrage of cancel-culture might be to direct that call-out energy from

I really like this idea. I agree the average person responds to unusual behavior with the same innate revulsion we fee to a physical deformity (perhaps to a lesser degree). However I think both revulsions do dissipate with time. I think wha

No. Not even for a second. Suppose you have two engineers, one in America, one in India. PRs cannot be merged without an approval. Suppose the average PR requires 3 back-and-forth comments before it gets merged. In the same timezone this ge

It's my understanding that, if commissions are free (e.g. Robinhood) then on average, any trading strategy is going to perform comparable to the market average. If you can find any reliably bad strategy (in a fee-less market), then you

>> Except the claim was that there are more than one strain and the author is responding to that. Doesn't matter, the author still made an unsubstantiated claim, and hence is unscientific. He should change the title.

by alexandercrohde 6y ago
Right, and this article is titled "There is one, and only one strain" which is an affirmative statement, and calls for a burden of proof. What this piece should be titled is "We don't have any evidence yet of multiple st

Sorry, I don't want to read that whole thing. Is there a linked journal article about IQs of nobel winners?

by alexandercrohde 6y ago
Two thoughts. Firstly if that's his point, his conclusion should match. Saying there is "no correlation" is a reach. Secondly, I'm not convinced I even believe that point. So is he saying that if I took an IQ test from n

Meh. I think you can assume the average person is casually well-meaning. You can't assume the average person is trying to help you with all/most of their actions. I don't think you can assume the average person is honest&#x2F

The point is -- at one point the founding fathers of America were terrorists, according to the government of the time. Those in authority will never be above questioning and doubting, even if that means considering dumb questions.

Well, as somebody who is unimpressed Amazon's corporate dystopia, yet also owns a significant amount of Amazon stock, I don't think the stock market is the place to look for these changes. At a stock level, I imagine their longter
