It seems as though the author has a (relatively) specific view of both Taylor Swift and Disney that he is trying to generalize, while ignoring the social ecosystem that both currently exist in. I don't know what knowledge can really be

If they wanted a mentor it was one part wet nurse and one part Mr. Rogers. There were no adults in the room.

A lot of this is hyperbolic whining. Back when I worked for other people, I had the luxury (not a luxury) of being the mediator between the evil gremlin code reviewer and the wayward antihero programmers. Takeaways: 1. The evil gremlin code

Microsoft is a known entity. I know (or expect) that my outlook.com account is heavily datamined to the fullest extent of the most permissive interpretation of the law. Google was supposed to be not that, and so it's not that I trust

It's a very good idea to not assume public representatives are incompetent. I've worked with many people in Congress here in the US, and I haven't met one that wasn't startlingly smart. It feels good to think they'r

Why not just try regular gardening? In a world of permies, regenerative ag, raised beds, and whatever this is, just having a small home garden seems quite novel, and the implementation is...pretty easy.

Britain is a failed state. It might be the first truly modern state to properly fail. Many will blame Brexit, but the writing has been on the wall for decades. Most of my friends in Britain have been either biding their time for retirement,

Banks in general love high rates. It's really hard to both justify keeping your money in the bank (vs other assets or just under the mattress) when interest rates are zero or near zero, and higher rates give them more wiggle room with

Before COVID, but especially during/after, there is also loyalty to consider. You need 18 yards of concrete by 8am. You go to the depot, and there's not enough concrete to go around. If you've stuck around and dealt with the

> They noted that a judge must approve any use of the provision We tried the same in the US. Our intel agencies just lied to the judges, who mostly otherwise were hip to the con and acted as a rubber stamp.

GD Quest is considered the bog standard right now. It's the W3Schools for Godot. As someone who is switching to Godot from Unity however, I think the tutorial ecosystem for Godot is a long ways behind.

Are people "intellectually humble" or just more humble in general? Many intellectual people use their intelligence and authority as a coping mechanism for poor social skills or low self esteem. As a manager + systems architect, I&

Similar to Roe v Wade, this is an unfortunate decision, but one that I agree with. Hopefully Congress will do something. Doubtful that they will.

The capital class's criteria for investment as well as the self-selecting nature of risk creates an environment where sociopaths will be highly over-represented in certain arenas. No sane person would want to be Elon Musk. Some of you

Most people, even smart people, live a life devoid of self reflection. You don't have values if you don't live intentionally, and the majority of people make decisions on a very short timescale, and without truly considering oppor

This is farcical. Commercial real estate is being bought up at very fast rates because, in every state that I have looked into, the deal for developers is getting better and better. In a world of remote workers without retail, commercial re
