I don't have proof. I'm presenting a theory based on circumstantial evidence. I think it says just as much to reject a theory without proof as it does to present a theory without proof. Let me break down the context in which I m

Did you know you can deduct sales tax. Even on cash transactions. How would you automate sales tax deductions for cash transactions? I always deduct sales tax, because it saves me hundreds of dollars. I always pay cash and ask for recei

This feels like the type of thing I want human expertise on. GPT can be too inaccurate for something like this. I'd also be concerned it was trained on writings from people that misunderstand the science. There's already tons of

The FDA approves medical treatments, many of which are chemicals. They approve treatments based largely on how effective it is as treatment. It's safety profile is studied and considered in a broader context. Many drugs approved by

I don't think proof is the right word. It's impossible to prove something is safe.

I think it's irresponsible and unnecessary to suggest that the USD/BTC conversion is anything but highly variable. This market is highly fickle, prone to hype, fud, and fomo. There is also still a large international regulatory ri

> https://layoffs.fyi/ There's 120k US layoffs documented here in 2023, or 0.07% of the US workforce. We could imagine the ~50% reemployment rate for FANG is a fair estimate for the rest of the tech layoffs (fang e

The viral jump from animals to humans is a common mechanism in many of the worst pandemics, with covid-19 and hiv being prime recent examples. There's some evidence "the spanish flu" of 1918 came from swine. If I were workin

I am always highly skeptical of these applications that use git to store non-code data. Often many of the key features of git aren't applicable to other problem spaces and this makes everything less efficient. There is a big exception

My understanding of this implementation is you can use arbitrary git urls to follow. That could point to any process serving data. P2P is 100% possible. It would be smart to use a personal domain for the git url you give your followers, so

1. My comment was on managing churn rate, not layoffs. 2. My comment described a process in which talented engineers self select to leave companies, and management only had indirect input on which engineers leave.

All but the most naive (or small) companies will do market analysis on the market rate of labor and have internal churn targets. I'm sure the accountants did the math and upper management decided the expected bump in churn is worth th
