It was all a dream we dreamed one afternoon long ago.

Sure. Employees feeling valued is necessary but not sufficient. Workers most focused on "winning" will have higher salaries (it's what they're optimizing) so just hire over priced people and ensure your employees are all

The student is the one paying your salary so that would be expected though, right? Where the students get the money from in the first place is the issue imo. Perverted markets do perverse things.

Wfh is better but going out to lunch, the whole notion of a lunch break, or everyone eating at about the same time everyday is something I miss about offices. Offices are also like the schools we grow up in. There's a continuity throug

>As a business owner however, the question is: what is best for the business? I would guess having employees that feel valued for their productivity and contributions would be what is best for the business, no?

Because there was a privacy policy it's hard to understand how that could be a mistake. The insinuation is the reviewer was not acting in hood faith.

I assume you are correct but how can we know rather than assume? I am not sure we can, so why get worked up about "internet died in 2021" when many would claim with similar conviction that it's been dead since 2012, or 2007,

I think this person has too high a view of pre-2021, probably for ego reasons. In fact, their attitude seems very ego driven. AI didn't just occur in 2021. Nobody knows how much text was machine generated prior to 2021, it was much har

Good reminder about avoiding low quality posting but also we aren't supposed to compare hn posts to reddit. I've done that too, and been reminded not to.

Did they really not control for race? I didn't close read but I can't fathom not controlling for race/nationality, which I'd suspect is correlated with need for uniqueness.

I'm thinking drift as in per capita. And I don't think it would greatly increase the 17% status quo, which is my point entirely.

Had a childhood friend die when a frame wall fell on him. Dishwasing is hard but it makes your skin soft, and you probably won't die from the job.

Nor do I! I am as envious of them as anyone else. I don't own a home and likely never will, and it's because of rich people (and black rock) moving in a buying up homes for speculative/investment reasons mostly. Envy and hous

My claim is that it's an empirical question whether tax policy drifts over time in such a way that more people pay more. Seems foolosh to argue over what can be easily quantified. In terms of my statement about many working people havi

Policy targetted at one person, or a small heterogenous group of people, is not good policy.

It's a story. But it is also an empirical question many people will be able to answer for themselves from abundant historical evidence no? Maybe people don't care about the data if they've never had difficulty paying their ta

I see. I guess I see part of the problem you're trying to solve as reflected in the language of "failed" and "error" as opposed to framing say non-replication of a prior false positive as a "correction" or

Good idea but bad name. Error implies mistakes, which will deter people.

Inflation and fiscal irresponsibility are central to this issue. It just takes a really selfish generation and a political system that rewards myopic policy to create this sort of gerontocratic inequity. The fix is fiscal responsibility and
