It doesn’t have to be oversimplified baulderdash. As the whole “ELI5” thing has shown, skillful reduction can preserve the truth and spirit. It’s just not easy. (It’s actually a lot of fun as a parent trying to do a good job of this)

People love paradoxes, so the paradox inherent to Tyler’s story is a really great way for him to anchor his message in your memory. I see that as why he spends so many words on it.

Ok, but why do you need to calculate longitude of the island five years later? Seems like a one-and-done thing.

Exactly. Broccoli can be delicious, but is never marketed as “vegan”.

Only way that realistically happens is if you bury it deep underground. Charcoal above the surface is part of the carbon cycle.

One clever hack you can use in some homes is to run cat5 in your HVAC ducts. Even if you can’t direct-connect to the router, perhaps you can move the router a few rooms closer.

No parent has ever told me they wished they had given their kid a phone sooner. My mind turns to milestones. Maybe puberty is the key, when social groups get more complex. Maybe it’s when they get a driver's license, and can travel a c

The good news, young parents, is you have a couple years to get it together. A infant wants to see your smiling face, but also won’t be scarred for life if you sometimes look away at a screen. Commit yourself to setting a good example, work

Define your expected optimization outcomes in plain human language, and verify them extensively in trials. I can write some useful formal properties right here: - there are n openings and m qualified applicants. At the end of assignmen

Optimization is solved in the sense we have engines for it, but precisely defining the problem to be solved is not trivial, and the error described here could have been made within an established solver with the wrong specification.

5 million, at 100,000 euro comp per engineer and a 2x multiplier for total cost per head, that’s only a team of 8 for three years. Not that more money would have fixed it, but good software is not some $200k affair. This program really coul

I agree with you. Trouble is, they don’t, and thus the issue can’t present a united front, and it doesn’t get anywhere.

One of the big problems seems to be simply getting supporters to agree on what to do with the money. There are plenty of supporters who staunchly insist the money must be used exclusively for miscellaneous social justice causes.

That’s a species thing. Different species use either twining stems, tendrils, aerial roots or holdfasts. Roots are probably the ones you are concerned about.

One such place is described as having been ‘about ten houses’, which isn’t quite what I imagined when they said ‘villages’.

That raises an interesting question. If developers are toiling equally hard at company A and company B, on similar products, but company A currently had a dominant market position over company B thanks to network effects - are the developer

I don't know what the solution is for places that have SLS I don’t have a real solution either, but it seems like it would either need to involve a managed wind-down of towns in gradual, permanent decline, or somehow propping them up

by ip26 3y ago
What you describe is a real, severe, and tragic impact of crippling poverty, but I think “SLS” is highlighting something related yet more subtle. From what I can construct, it’s referring to people who are able to meet their basic needs, bu

In modern time, coastal areas prosper when they have a desirable climate (moderate temperatures buffered by water) or concentrate commerce (e.g. shipping port, especially deep water). A bunch of the coastal towns in the UK offer neither. Th

why have kitchens traditionally been separated from dining areas in the first place? Not long ago, cooking was often done exclusively by “the help”.

The fun and pleasure of travel is not that unlike going to the theatre. You are there to “see” and “experience”, not to help build communities or repair bridges.

When class war is invoked too frequently, it’s reasonable to grow suspicious about any one particular invocation without disbelieving the existence of a class war. Prejudice exists, but if every time a protected class was not hired they sho

To reframe your argument more charitably, it seems like most people agree that managing a remote team well is probably a lot harder than in person, and we already know that many managers have not even received the training to do well with a

You are technically correct, but I would posit “secretly holding two full time, demanding, salaried jobs” is an extremely strong predictor for failing to perform sufficiently at either. Given that, it’s a simple matter of weighing those o

Not that I agree, but technically, “my boss is a psychopath” is only one assumption ;)

I theorize the prevalence depends on factors like how competitive the market is. In a highly competitive market, the organization can’t tolerate gross failure for very long without failing, so it either manages this kind of person out or do

It seems more analogous to a virus or scavenger. A market-based force of nature attacking moribund organizations with weakened defenses.

I think it’s axiomatic that an order of magnitude more time will be spent on consuming content than producing it. Why would you spend hours every day crafting a deeply insightful blog if literally no one ever read it? As an author or othe

That doesn’t capture the whole picture. Great leaders may not have been decent people, but it’s also clear that being a decent person isn’t what makes for a good leader. The concern would be something like, only a strong narcissist would ri

To that end I’ve experimented with cypress oil in a diffuser while sleeping. I can easily believe there is a real positive effect. Would be nice to see it proven, if true. Frankly, if true it would be a great product opportunity for P&G
