You must have mistyped the word worker. This is an ancient concept where you pay somebody and they do their job.

Answering this question is an enormous side track, a category of research in its own. I'd first say that I do not share the default assumption that discrimination is widespread. As if it is some default, rather than an exception. You&#

Thanks. Interesting, isn't it. I'm thinking we're at the point where a significant amount of progressives are starting to (silently) reject the absurdly toxic way in which social justice issues are handled. I would totally ex

That indeed is the summary of my post: fire all activists. All of them. Most activism has no relevance at work, but worse: it typically achieves the exact opposite of making the workplace more fair. It's regressive, not progressive.

I have absolutely no idea if such discrimination takes place. As to how to address it, a first step is the method of reporting. The accusation of discrimination is a serious one, and I'm against hotheaded employees randomly shouting th

Fascinating how the absolute richest of the richest employees in the world, Google employees, seem the most oppressed, or "marginalized". Here's how my "CEO for a day" fantasy would work... The DEI department is de-

You just said this: "I'm not sure yet if they will/have rescinded her offer or not." In the meanwhile, the timeline got clarified? Anyway, I agree with you if the offer was made when the downturn was already obvious. It&

It's similar to a graduate with 6 months of work experience posting a Medium article "12 reasons why I quit Netflix".

Good observation that is often missed. The teenagers I know do not post in any "public square" style social networks at all. They avoid Facebook and Twitter entirely. Twitter is mostly for people in their 30s and 40s.

In a way, Zuckerberg predicted your take years ago. He saw the writing on the wall regarding the many issues of having an enormous public town square and the "share everything" mindset, and opted for more pocketed communities. If

Well, words can have different meanings in different contexts. This IS what fundamentals means in the world of crypto. You don't decide on the value of a scarce asset, the owners of the asset do. If you personally believe the nominal v

Very much true, but that funny money didn't evaporate, there's just no appetite to put it in an asset like this, temporarily.

There's no shortage of easy money, there's shortage of confidence. Every single crisis the already wealthy become even more wealthy. Right now they're consolidating and derisking, wait a few years and the chips are on the tab

"There are ways to plan better, especially at huge corps like this." Not really true for crypto. The crypto crash of the last 2 months was extreme and sudden, not an ordinary "bear market". It puts the company as a whole

That's not what fundamentals means in crypto. Fundamentals in crypto are existential, favorable qualities of a token that can survive severe downturns (bear markets, depressions). For BTC, fundamentals are absolute scarcity combined wi

Running out of reply nesting, so replying here to your other reply. First, appreciate the toning down, few would do that. I'm not a very deep crypto expert, but I can share some thoughts on cycles. Most of crypto has no cycle at all, a

I don't think people forget that, they need to scale up the responsibility accordingly. You can't run world-dominating platforms and dodge the responsibility that comes with it. Surely if you rake in tens of billions in profit eve

We don't want quality. We want dopamine. Dopamine mattered less in the paper age, with the exception of the frontpage headline, but not even that mattered as most people had a subscription. Once this paper is in your possession, it fra

You're right when you divide the population into the extreme ends, but this doesn't prove symmetry. I don't have the link at hand but studies demonstrate that progressives in general are far more politically interested and

1) I didn't say sports betting is random. I said that if you want a 10x - 100x upside in sports betting, you'd have to place your money on the player almost surely to lose. As in, 99 people betting against that player versus just

This suggests that crypto investing/daytrading is entirely random, which is a ridiculous thing to say. Further, explain to me how sport bets have greater odds of success? If you want the upside of crypto in sport bets, you'd have

Welcome. I would definitely avoid taking on massive risks in crypto. I roughly see two situations. 1. The "nothing to lose" situation I described. Low wealth individuals putting "everything" at it, yet everything is very
