I find it quite interesting that US private industry can be incredibly effective relative to non-US private industry, but the opposite seems to be more the case when it comes to government projects.

Indeed; these seem to be more frequent of late. The language seems over-the-top, almost breathlessly pearl-clutching without any sort of evidence: "Childhood itself, reframed: not as a journey to be nurtured, but a system to be streaml

This this this. I NEVER call for the 8 things that the automated voice menu offers: press 1 for account balance, 2 to make a payment... I call for the weird thing that none of that can handle.

This is a great question. I dislike it to such a degree that I try to avoid services that require it. Sometimes, however, it's worth trying to access services without giving the ID and just saying oh I'd like to keep that private

The difference is that if the company succeeds, an employee afforded this provision is guaranteed to make $X. Without this provision, it's possible in many ways for the employee to be left with far less than $X, even if the company suc

I don't think I understand. If the value of a company is $10m and the company asks an investor to give $10m in exchange for equity, the investor should own 100%. If the value of a company is $20m and the company asks an investor to giv

I think it makes perfect sense. It's a guaranteed incentive for a potential employee to increase the value of the company and act in its best interest. Absent those guarantees, it's smoke, nothing, kaput: 1.5% equity or whatever %

They report that the emissions of 400 output tokens, "one page of text," equates to 10 seconds of online video streaming in the USA. So I guess one saves a lot of emissions if one stops tiktok-ing, hulu-ing, instagram reel-ing, et
