That’s exactly what I mean. I never sleep much better than I would sleeping in a car. I suppose it’s the novelty of sleeping in a moving vehicle, my flight attendant friend said it took them a while to start sleeping well on long haul fligh

So long as a significant portion of companies harvest user data to provide “free” services, no well-meaning business can compete with their paid apps. Not in a real way. It’s the prisoner’s dilemma, but one vs many instead of one vs one. So

I thought the same as I was reading the comment you're responding to. Arriving rested after public transport? Get a load of that guy :) Not sure how anyone does that, but of course it would be nice to learn this dark magic.

It’s the same accountability shirking language as when layoffs “have affected you” instead of “I mismanaged this business and as a result I’m firing you”. It’s always the same abstract invisible hand that just keeps affecting everyone! Scot

Does this phenomenon have a name — things get progressively worse but people find ways to make do in the short term, and are relatively content with the state of affairs; then the ways to make do break under continued pressure, and people a

In Japan it's not unheard of for chief executives to take pay cuts when their plans don't work out. If there are bonuses in good times, would it not incentivize executives to perform better if there was also docked pay and executi

Is this... CEOs being forced into accountability for their actions instead of thousands they lay off? Well, one can dream.

Yes! Please standardize the web into simple hypertext so “LLMs can use it”. I promise I won’t build any tools to read it without the ads, tracking, and JavaScript client side garbage myself. I will not partake in any such efforts to surf th

Many things worth doing involve personal risk, sometimes even to life and limb. But companies like SpaceX, and many other successful ones, have mastered the distinction between necessary risks and unnecessary ones. And they do a lot to elim

“Think of all the money we could save if we just fired all staff!” was a joke in my business school. I suppose Klarna will finally deliver a punchline in a few years.

20% attrition sounds like pretty on the edge of quiet firing.

You can actually disable the browser in a pretty serious way in iOS. First, ask your spouse/friend/colleague to set up parental controls on your phone and have them hold onto the code. Second, remove Safari through Content & P

Well, I think it was mainly the social media, notifications, and content consumption – not so much the smartphone itself. Dumping the smartphone was simply a "cold turkey" solution.

I have a phone I set up specifically to disallow content consumption. It has a permanently on Downtime mode (iOS) with only a handful of apps whitelisted – mainly the ones you mentioned. The notifications are disabled, too. I don't hav

I threw away my smartphone 4-ish months ago, and I have 50% more motivation, 50% more headspace to focus on things, and 50% better moods most days. The attention economy, especially in social media, is a plague. It wasn't always this w

Wow, we are compiling BASIC to JavaScript and which is meant to run in browsers like Electron I assume. Now someone just needs to write Electron in BASIC to close the loop! Reminds me of TranslationParty. Can we find the equilibrium between

When someone has been wronged, society allows them a temporary excursion from social norms to restore justice. This is also philosophically how the justice systems operate — they are allowed to detain, incarcerate and sometimes murder peopl

Just to clarify — hiring on a global level means an employer is competing in the global market, offering a global rate for a role. There is an ex-Uber engineer on YouTube who has a video breaking down SWE salaries by local, regional, global

Novo Nordisk also makes cheaper insulin which probably keeps Eli Lilly in check in free markets. Come to think of it, Airbus is a similar example of European competition with the US that keeps the unfettered capitalist competitor in check.

So is this a more accessible public market for companies that don't want to/can't be listed on the big exchanges? Is participation mandatory to some extent or entirely optional?
