Yes, but that's an illusion to be believe that political games, nepotism etc would disappear without offices. That's just how working in a corporation is, sadly.

I don't think Lifeguard is a low-skill job, you need to be an extremely skilled swimmer. This is only achievable by learning and training from a very young age and being a minimum gifted for it.

That'd be interesting to compare the values with what a Fireman earns. They also put their own life at risk to save others.

I had to scroll down quite a lot to find a comment that matches with my experience of scrum (the part where you describe when it works).

I did a trip to NY last year, exactly 10 years after my first. What struck me is how little things have changed, I had the feeling a lot of infrastructures are outdated, comparing to other places I've lived or been (Europe, China, East

I'm not suprised to see this post so popular on Less Wrong/the rational community. I can easily imagine the fascination they have for crazy scientists doing experimentations on them selves, cutting all the corners and operating at

Same situation as you here, 10y xp, free education, girlfriend SWE as well... We have a household income around 190k euro before tax, no kids. The only reason why we could wish to earn more is to afford a nice flat in London, it makes you

The answer is both. Ie, pawns holding the centre of the board have a higher relative value than pawns on the sides. At a very high level, if a player end up resigning because of a one piece advantage it's because they have already proc

Never been good either but I was occasionally playing when I was younger and The Queen's Gambit did get me back into Chess. On Chess.com the post game report gives you the move accuracy which is, I guess, some kind of standard deviatio

Why do I find this essay arrogant and superficial? From the pub to HN, everybody is happy to give an uneducated opinion on the qustion. I'm too stupid, I'll pass.

Well I don't think they could sell an expensive masterclass for arguably the most simple dish or earth if it was not prepared by Gordon Ramsay using fancy condiments.

After reading all the comments of the UX experts here I almost feel that I need to apologise to have enjoyed this list of nice cards over a list of bullet points.

Money is not equal to wealth, money is a device. That's the first and most common mistake in economics. UBI is a way to reshuffe the cards of modern economy and hope that'll fix some of the current problems. It certainly won&#x27

Here is another fallacy: "This led to massive accumulations of wealth and the biggest wealth gap in history. This in itself isn’t a bad thing. After all, we’ve all become wealthier in the last few centuries even if some have become uni

Well at least one of the reasons is that every 3 to 6 months fashion brands release a new collection. They need fresh photos to advertise that.

So you basically say that becoming a doctor or an astronaut is easy and doesn't require "ambition". I'm sorry I can't agree with that. Maybe as a former VC-backed founder you'd like to have the monopoly of amb

Startup are (almost) never profitable when they "start up". Hence they need to raise money through investors until they grow enough to develop a mature, profitable product. Delivering this product can take years and require a larg

The re-inventing the wheel thing always starts with good intentions and works fine until you have to throw in hundreds of hours to maintain a beast that nobody likes but everybody has to use. You end up being locked in your own solution and

The ventilator shortage is irrelevant to the point the author is trying to make. It doesn't have to be true or false and should be taken as an hypothesis. The point he was trying to make is that economy is not about money, it's ab

I mean this looks like the author is just trying to find a justification to not write unit tests because he doesn't like it. I pick the last sentence "If you like writing tests and are very good at it, you may continue to do so.&q
