Sounds like something that is a function of your domain knowledge and your data science skills will have very little to do with it

How do you know that there isn't meaning, order and correctness if you don't search for it? There are very few situations where you can definitely say that there isn't meaning, order and correctness as opposed to not knowing

The original claim was about knowledge workers. In repetitive work of course more time is always gonna be more productive, with diminishing returns. Until the worker/slave mind or body breaks at least. Mind you, I'm not saying the

That's some oddly specific characteristic to use to counter the value of being special, having conquered environments, technology and more. Why would the traditional mathematics of growth make all that less ?

Just how bad at finances are you and people around you if 150k just really isn't that much? That literally places you amongst the richest 1%. Not metaphorically, literally. A couple of years worth of saving is enough to give you passiv

Fair enough about not focusing on dereministic/not deterministic, although I would still like to know your opinion on it. As far as I can see it, both a deterministic and non deterministic reality can't possibly have free will. Is

Using capitalism to define what is peak human technology or not seems silly to me. Humanity is historically bad at allocating their scarce resources. Faster horses and all that.

Uh, must be a cultural abyss here. When someone says they are under a lot of stress, I take it as they work 70 hours weeks, or they found out they'll be a cripple or people they love are dying, or the chance that you'll be stabbed

I don't think he meant it as nobody deserves privacy and to control their personal data. I took it as a "it's there anyway and there's no point for me to pretend that it is not".

The very best way of dealing with stress isn't internal, it is making the source of stress go away. Unless the internal changes fundamentally change how you view the world ( i.e. the source of stress no longer causes stress, which is t

Seems like a problem with your team instead of a remove vs non-remote thing. I'm a young programmer in my 20s and I get plenty of training working remotely.

As much as I agree with the general spirit of your reply, I think there is some merit to think of posterboy.human() being a socially defined concept. It's recently became a loaded term (much like gender) due to people in general using

That's an argument I think is valid for a possible lack of consequences of importance. Unlike thinking there won't be consequences of importance because of a belief that < 1% of humanity even thought of maybe possibly having
