It looks like you are trying to trick your person about when you sent your message. Because of an introverted personality concern? Seems like a weird use of a timer to me.

Completely different issues, maybe. Notice that the major media outlets started pumping stories about racism right about the time of the occupy protests. This is how politically motivated segregation works in general - make the commoners fi

Here is a glaring example of debating semantics in hopes to discredit the actual meaning of something or attempt to kill the topic altogether. Appears to be a bad outcome from the rise of STEM worship.

This seems to be a very privileged position to have. That if you were taught strong ethics by parents and the right social network, then everyone can obviously/simply have the same?

A Gallop poll serves as your evidence for religion's impact on stability and peace? This is pie-in-the-sky cherry picked data, stylized as a scientific inquiry.

To clarify, by modern American "leaders" do you assume like CEO's and members of congress? Sounds like too much television :)

You only have to look. Certainly you won't find them in celebrity pop culture news network, duh.

Hypothetical Jesus would be laughed off the stage? This is a preposterous strawman. Christianity skews toward conservative politics due to lessons of humility and understanding that man should not "play God" in the form of ever-ce

Hack of a CEO of such a top public company deserves to have his speaking abilities scrutinized. And totally appropriate to spend 15% of the article on this and conclude one area where MoC's across the idealogical spectrum appeared unit

I think he successfully highlighted a certain lack of competent leadership, which therefore makes is difficult to do the deep regulatory Q&A you had hoped for.

The truly sad part is it leads to broad financialization of Science. People up here making education into a personal problem (haves/havenots) are apparently "too smart" to see the social costs of heavy public investment in ST

The downside is that is fuels a speculative mindset, not only among so-called investors in bitcoin but as a ripple effect throughout the economy. However great of an innovation bitcoin is in theory, in practice it could have unintended cons

Increase in STEM degrees does not have a causal effect on number of good jobs. Any hope that it does is about as speculative as "investing" in bitcoin or the next Gamestop pattern.

His book, Rework, is what got me interested in his writings. I guess the short article left a mark mainly because it reflected ideas that I enjoyed from the book

Love the garden analogy in software, especially when faced with complex systems that can't easily be managed by rigid IT project management styles. Was reminded of another short piece going way back to 2007: https://signalvn

Either way, there is a limit to how much unsophistication the market can tolerate and remain healthy.

My take is that the stock was basically being manipulated by an angry mob. While I completely applaud their efforts and stand against the unfair advantage that institutional investors have, I can also see where their approach could trigger

It could be viewed as deception/fraud, to claim neutrality but do low-key censoring behind the scenes. It's a public company and must meet some kind of accountability standards. Justifying actions as pushing bits on their own serv

Malice is very often the product of incompetence in such power structures.

> Your argument is, essentially, the state is powerless to restrict markets. This either/or attitude about free markets and regulation is upsetting. Someone makes a point about a specific technology and the effects of its high value

Exactly. Passion may be indicated by that time you stepped up for a 60 hour week in a given situation, but I'm not seeing anything where the author expects such strict dedication at all times. I simply read it as a plea to reduce the j

I'm not giving concrete examples about my job, nor my thoughts on Enron in this thread. Sorry if I exaggerated the point but I do find it offensive to get a grilling about my private life. Not woke at all.

Thank you. I love to see the intersection of many fields of engineering, science, finance, and mass media here on HN. A truly amazing resource. But yes I struggle with the semantics when they blend together too much. I struggle to see how,

I'll pass - can't figure out how well you know about Enron and its similarity to other financial scandals, ripple effects of management incompetence, and corporate governance in general. I don't think it would help to provide

Affirmative action is about policy and the law. I was referring to a newer trend wherein middle management assumes the role of thought police and decides for others how well educated they are in "historical struggles that various group

I'm not sure what particular hype you are referring to. I think of "wokeness" as ultra-generic.

How familiar are you with the term? Perhaps I used an offensive slur for convenience and should reconsider the phrasing? In my experience, over-emphasizing "social responsibility" that has nothing to do with the product tends to p

Seconded. In particular, I've come to recognize the growing confluence of woke politics and tech management as major impediment on my ability to do my job well. Reading up on career coaching and psychology has certainly helped, but can
