Share your evidance-based expectations with your director/manager. If you surprise them with failure or delays that you knew were likely, it'll be your fault. On the other hand, if you deliver ahead of a previously-broadcast delay

That’s not quite what this editorial says. Rather, it pushes the tired agenda of criminals-don’t-obey-laws-so-why-regulate-guns with some (typically) intellectually dishonest sophistry, claiming for example that Illinois’s “red flag” law sh

That doesn’t follow. The exceptionality of Elon is obvious to everyone. He’s the richest man on earth (by some measures), not an Everyman voicing a contrarian opinion. You couldn’t convince anyone you honestly thought “if they banned him,

Is it clear that Elon is more liquid than Twitter? Twitter has several billion in cash. Musk is reported to have only 3b cash. Tesla and SpaceX may need his capital to survive the downturn. They both have an arsenal of options to raise furt

“If everyone around you is the problem, maybe…” I think to the same extent the phenomenon you describe exists, experts (perhaps even engineers) loathe accepting and abiding expertise outside their domain that impacts or determines their wor

His podcast began as the “MIT Artificial Intelligence Podcast” — and attracted a following (and guests) on that basis (hot topic/keyword plus MIT imprimatur). Even then Lex was the weakest part. Having grown quite a bit, it was retitle

“Race, don’t chase.” Find a way to profitable — default alive — and grow from there. Don’t lie bleeding and default dead. Sounds like Dalton could’ve used this podcast at the time… https://www.manager-tools.com/2008/1

The unbanked and the oppressed need Web3. After all, 5% of each transaction of ScamOfTheDayCoin will go to the orphans -- once we upgrade to the new liquidity pool. And do migrate soon or the 100% tax kicks in (your next transaction)!...

Funny how brief visits form such firm, nuance-free opinions. I have strong opinions on French folks but my year in Spain showed a universe of humanity. This condescending caricature will ring true for many who don’t live there and few who d

This is the romantic view of the hundred (million) flowers blooming of a gatekeeper-liberated internet. I don't think it's a realistic "cure" given human nature. Rather, I think David Foster Wallace's prediction has

Build engineers are responsible for tooling and infrastructure around version control, CI/CD, testing, linters etc. — the build process writ large.

There are many visual cues still apparent with a mask on, therefore it’s challenging to make any assertions on “evidence” on correlations between mask-wearing and the experience of children with visual impairment. (Nevermind the article mo

There’s a strong possibility the author is totally wrong here. Reddit search is famously broken, so the only way people can reliably search Reddit is via Google. (Because Google search is…broken?)

Houses? How about pension funds, top-flight companies, countries… a lot of smart and powerful folks are face-planting into this griftspace

We gave it a shot until the scale and audacity of the grift so obviously dwarfed the practical use that it humiliates its depressingly unaware boosters.

The need for this clarification itself is an example for why “hi” is necessary. People assume. The small talk helps set a tone that combats extreme terseness’s ambiguity, which all too often stochastically resolves to arrogance, aloofness,

Truly the exception that proves the rule. There are, too, urinals that hang in museums as art. That repurposing of the mundane is the art; the mundane remains mundane.

I remember having similar sentiments in junior high. Maybe I was right back then, but I have a different view, now.. That is, the ability to draw rotated geometric primitives without reference is not on the critical path to be taken serious

Habit change is no small thing. Delete the apps, schedule or ration usage. My noticing the difference quitting social media made in my emotional health helped reinforce the change — reflection writing was a good routine that supported that

The sad thing, even as you identify into this (true) dynamic, is that it’s happening in this community in favour of this supposedly heterodox viewpoint. The slightest counterpoint to this supposedly suppressed lab leak theory is downvoted,

Know thy time. A specific and comprehensive understanding of how one’s time is spent is the precondition for choosing and following through on effective behaviour change.

The article “dodges” the notion players should “own” their in-game items to the same extent you underplay the implications. consider what the article emphasises: the contradiction implied in a live game being rebalanced in real time, affec

Indeed. So easy to forget that house holes have only been called “windows” since the term became popular in the 90s.

I love and use Mercurial every day! No problem there. I'd like to improve on Google Docs when it comes to rapidly jotting personal notes/referring to to-dos across devices through the day.

Ah. Also needed: offline editing and instant-on. Even Apple’s Notes is too slow from launch to editing.

That’s an extraordinarily weak and broad argument. Of course a lack of personal appeal doesn’t imply non-existence. Don’t rely on that for affirmative investment strategy! Airbnb is a useful example, though; consider its context of hotels,
