I hate Axie and think it's the biggest scheme of our time to milk addictions and money out of poor people in developing countries but this article is still garbage and shouldn't be on here.

Couldn't disagree more. The piece of paper isn't some magic wand that makes you able to help people. Assuming this person already has a career they are happy with, and they already feel they can help people, this doesn't add

I'm not complaining about the study methodology. I'm just saying this isn't the right takeaway. Just because a study is randomized and has a good sample size doesn't automatically prove every hypothesis of the study. You

Just went and starred the repo. Looks like they are back up to around 5% of their original star count. Not good but probably not a catastrophe for the project. It seems the loss of watchers is still an issue though.

There are many studies showing the workers at unionized employers report lower job satisfaction (there are also many studies showing the opposite conclusion) but it is far from a given that unionizing makes things betters for workers and th

Out of all the arguments I'm seeing on here, this feels particularly bad faith. Throughout my maybe decade and a half in the macro world I've never heard anyone even attempt to make this argument. Inflation clearly affects cost o

Was really on board with everything he'd written in both articles so its sad to see it devolve into a "late stage captialism" rant. There is so much interesting critique to make of our current system, sad to see people going
