In the first wave of cuts, you're still getting free lunches, you're getting 1 month/year of severance or more, you're getting vesting beyond your departure date, you're getting 12 months of benefits. In the third w

The problem is that politics very rapidly drives its way into the conversation, and discussions about mental health, what is healthy for society, etc get pushed aside. This model fundamentally changes the structure of human society, and the

I have been revisiting Godot this past week after feeling that I didn't give it a fair shake a few months ago. I don't know that Unity has a future. Unity is still better than Godot, and in some ways by a wide margin, but Godot is

The breeding for all dog species is very poor. It is rare to find a breeder that even knows what they're doing let alone one who actually is trying to build a strong breeding stock for the future. Wolves in the wild are lucky to make i

Could also be an indictment of the new CEO, who is no Sam Altman.

The EIC doesn't exist because of some Randian ethos at the heart of American politics, and I believe most Democrats and some Republicans are in favor of reform, but you actually have to pass a law to get reform, and unfortunately tha

We are certainly in a bubble. In some ways, we're better off than 2008 since we wont see nearly as many foreclosures, but on the other hand if interest rates stay sane for the next decade, there will be many people who are in homes the
