It already practically does. You just pay the fee to sufficiently high-powered lawyers. Or spend the money to incorporate, where your actions can be divorced from the consequences and maybe you pay whatever the actuarial cost of a human lif

I wonder who's spending the PR and lobbying money to prevent all these wonderful solutions from being enacted, and when people "just vote" for these solutions anyway, buying politicians who stop good bills, make voting harder

Please don’t make the most productive members of our society justify why they need to ingest your blood. You’ll spook the economy which is working great for all of us.

Of course I wouldn’t blame a parent for making the best of a dystopian kakistocracy to survive. Though I think increasing numbers of people are opting not to become parents to future environmental refugees/peasants/bloodbags in th

Yeah, there’s no way adults don’t get involved if you promise $20k. This will just extend the existing test-taking/essay-writing industry from those who can afford to pay up front to those who will split the proceeds.

True, though that's because the US has a fairly free press and the Freedom of Information Act.

CAD is hard! I think about this a lot as I'm doing a makerspace at an elementary school and adults think it needs a 3D printer, but what are kids going to print on it? I think for me, the prerequisites for mastering CAD were 1) the pra

Sure, and I support that, but the usual documentation of performance reviews, OKRs, etc aren't enough? (I don't know how any of this works, having not worked a real job.) Surprised management is so eager to automate their own jobs

I'm telling you I can find a way to _not_ accomplish my job with as many keystrokes as you require. Goodhart's Law, etc.

True. Maybe the why is obvious to an Australian audience, but I’m not seeing why missing meetings and performance goals wasn’t enough to fire her. Regardless, measuring keystrokes sounds as dumb as lines of code.

It’s too late. ARM has shown that it’s no longer a stable partner. Even if it walks the pricing proposal back, everyone knows it’s on the table the next time ARM changes ownership or has to give shareholders a growth story.

"If a good enough X logo is posted tonight, we'll make go live worldwide tomorrow" sounds impulsive to me. A rebranding would make more sense at the point where you actually roll out those everything features. Him being a mar

Microsoft just switched the unit from degrees to turns. I guess that would make more sense if they were rebranding the 360. To be pedantic, there's no need for "very" in front of "unique", as my spouse is happy to p

Implied in my first line: die heroes. It’s okay for things to end because they aren’t viable any longer. But there are of course plenty of examples of open source projects which sustain themselves with sponsors, etc.

Living long enough to be seen as the villain. As you point out, Arduino did a lot of original work in integrating the toolchain that made it really simple to make something. They then stagnated and competing products shot past them (and tha

ARM should be worried. In anticipation of their new IPO, they changed their licensing model to be based on the value of the final device, not the chip itself. Manufacturers are profoundly unhappy with that, and hey, there happens to be ann
