Not OP, but personally it's just sad to see someone that you view as a historically great mind getting distracted by nonsense, like if a great mathematician suddenly stopped their research to focus on flat earth and contrails

Also worth noting companies like Cutco use a similar script and a cold-calling approach, it doesn't work nearly as well as it used to though because most people don't answer numbers they don't know, so they train people to le

I'd like to see it change the way dental insurance works, so that e.g. an AI diagnosis will legally be fully covered by the insurance, and anything that can't be verified through that would be considered an elective procedure. In

I think the biggest thing that I haven't seen in another comment is that companies aren't being explicitly ageist, they just want cheaper labor and younger/less experienced people are willing to work for less money. I'm

Agreed with this, rewarding users doesn't make much sense in this context, I don't want to know what other users are publishing I want to know what's the best result across the internet. How much will "wikipedia" be

Relying on specific people was never a good strategy, people will change but this will be a good test of their crazy governance structure. I think of it similar to political systems - if it can't withstand someone fully malicious getti

I agree there's somewhat more trust involved, e.g. you don't know if they go to the park for the day and just check notifications on their phone, but you still have all the performance metrics to look at. If the person is doing al

COVID of course influenced this a bunch, but I've been at a company a few years and saw it grow from 30->130 employees - originally we were fully in office, then remote for covid, now it's settling back in to a hybrid approach

We had one of these in my highschool woodshop - they would demo it once a year on the parents night because of the expense. I'd rather see this regulated in a way that says places like schools or production woodshops would need these f

This is the number we've been using recently, but it's been different in the past and there's no reason to keep using it, especially when we have data showing that 25 is the age your decision making faculties are generally fu

> Because at 18 people are responsible for their own actions This is only because we arbitrarily picked an age - we used to consider people responsible for their own actions at much younger ages, it makes sense to change the number when

The US has laws against interfering with GPS, but I don't think there's any global laws about GPS jamming, you'd need something from the UN but it doesn't seem like most countries would want to give up that ability - we

This reminds me of the Malcolm X quote > If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there's no progress. If you pull it all the way out that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the bl

This is a big pet peeve of mine, I can't think of a reason to ever send a docx or similar over email - if it's not done yet then it should be somewhere we can both access it so we don't end up with different versions, and if

My main use case has been when you need to work on a document on multiple computers, or collaboratively. In that case it solves a big problem of dealing with flash drives, different versions, and email attachments/updates

My partner has had issues that could be fixed with a few messages and the doctor just refused to respond and said they have to wait until the next appointment. It begins to feel like malpractice when they're refusing to fix simple issu

This type of thing makes me wish the only option was public defenders so you aren't able to just pay more and have better chances in court. That said - I still don't think Musk has a good chance here, he's lost cases against

I'd even go a step further and set a maximum amount of parking in a given area to disincentivize driving. As an extreme example, if a mall is only allowed to have 5 parking spaces then they'll need to design around supporting publ

Not at FAANG - but my company was scaling up and bought a much larger office space right before covid, so a lot of the push does seem to be "We just spent a bunch of money on this and need to justify it to investors, it looks bad when

If you own a big office building and companies don't need as much office space then you can't charge as much for rent, and the property loses value. Similar to how online shopping has led to a bunch of malls closing down

It's been around for a while, but interesting to see this and a Fireship video on it the same day. I was wondering if they did some new release or something but doesn't seem like it

I do the same! Using it for non-serious things just adds an extra level of irony. Funniest example I saw was "This is not a place of honor" on the back of some booty shorts

Alcohol addition rates are also (slightly) higher than marijuana addiction rates (14% and 9% last time I saw), so it's a great comparison

That is the point where we started adding greenhouse gases that lock in energy from the sun, we need to at least get back to those levels to start releasing some of the heat. Otherwise we're containing to add insulation to an oven that

In my experience the focus is on human connection and that why this criticism is here - this is a business which necessarily can't prioritize human connection over profit trying to motivate people to work more. I think it's all ab

I'd agree that "family" implies you're going to put the relationship itself over most rational reasons, and businesses can't do that. If you want to say they're family then the business should also plan for a p

At that point I'd think the general opinion is that they're operating as a company _instead of_ a family. Pitching investment ideas and getting cut off from support doesn't sound like a family. I think this is just something
