So you don’t think they actually overhired and that that massive growth in headcount was needed and justified?

Why is a non-profit or small business not capitalist? I feel like the latter, especially, is a weird stretch. Shareholders can be convinced that a long term play may be less profitable today than it will be in a decade and opt to take tha

I feel like this comment and the other child comment are missing that we continue to innovate . Automating the printing press, building the cotton gin, widespread use of combines to harvest wheat (or whatever) - none of these led to mass u

Why? Should we demand that Ford shuts down its assembly lines and instead hires tens of thousands of people to manually machine and assemble all of the parts of the car? If not, why is that labor unimportant, but other labor is vital and su

> It is vacation vs travel. Thank you! My preference is always for an AirBNB when I go skiing or want to go work someplace that isn’t my house for a week, and you sort of nailed the reason. When I was in Madrid for a buddy’s wedding, on

Interesting and unsurprising to read about Cohen’s role, and the intent to take advantage of the low-information meme investors. Weird to read how far some folks will go to defend Cohen, though - it reads like a sort of cognitive dissonance

Believe it or not, I may work on different problems and in different areas than you do.

I really disagree. Figjam is mildly ok, though I suppose if my company had been willing to give the team better tools it might have worked better? I still think there’s something irreplaceable about standing around the board in person to di

Even that won’t do it. The journalists/media types and celebrities have a network, and none of them want to rebuild it. Regular people don’t want to go somewhere that’s just full of regular people. Twitter will stick around forever and

For some problems? 15 minutes with a whiteboard. There’s no good e-replacement. For other problems? Sure, slack and zoom are perfectly adequate to preferable.

Are you saying a Harvard CS degree isn’t a thorough education? Or are you assuming that everyone at Harvard pays full freight? I don’t get the elitism or why you think someone with a degree from a specific school is inherently stupid. That’

I don’t think either of those titles imply fault. Similarly, if you saw Johnny or Suzy crying on the playground, you might ask, “what’s the matter?” That’s not implying they did something bad, it’s asking what hurt them or upset them, in a

But that’s very much not what you responded to, nor is it even similar. What you responded to was “real men don’t cry.” Whatever you were trying to add was within that context, thus my reply. “Real men don’t cry” is not well-intentioned,

Why is that good advice? If my father dies, why is it bad to be sad about it? Why is it wrong to cry when I’m sad? I think you’re completely off base in trying to make “respond rationally and with no emotion, ever” a universal rule, especia

I agree: if you want a non-terrible social network, it has to be exclusive, either in people or in ways to engage with content. If everyone is on it and can see everyone on it, then the worst people with the hottest takes will always get th

Why? No individual assembly line worker has any particular value - so if the aggregate increases then the equation, in your example, is “in check”, whatever that means. Alternatively, if assembly workers were difficult to effectively replac

I mean, it involves leading. Making strategic decisions and then gaining support for them. Leadership is not just a synonym for project management. I don’t understand your comment at all.

I’m just unclear why you care. John wants to be called John. He also would prefer you refer to him as a “him”. Neither takes any effort whatsoever, and both are entirely polite. Neither requires anything from you that you wouldn’t otherwise

No - I mean, outlook/google calendars, but for training, I have a book and written plan, and I map runs for distance and to figure out tempo distances. It’d be potentially neat to be able to tie the two together - mark points on a map

What makes this different than the Nike run app, that has voice coaching while you run? How does it understand the goals I have for a given run (e.g. recovery vs. tempo vs. endurance) or distance impacts? What kind of runner is this for? C2

“John may desire to be called John, but he can’t realistically expect people won’t call him Bob just because he says it’s not his name.” Sorry, this is nonsense. That you think John should be called Bob has nothing to do with your view on p

Yes - for me, it was a strength issue. I spent a couple weeks running hills to even things out and it faded relatively quickly.

Neither of those imply a right to not be annoyed. They imply a right to walk away from the annoyance. They would, similarly, have the “right” (in whatever weird sense the word is being used, here) to craft a plan that would make that diffic

I still have no idea why you think this is an AI problem. What is the value in creating a fake resume via AI that doesn’t exist without AI?

What do “rights” have to do with the question? What a weird strawman. You don’t, generally, have a “right” to not be annoyed by protestors, if that’s really the road you want to go down, here.

I want to know who I’m doing business with. It’s literally that simple. There’s absolutely no reason in the world to conceal that information from anyone.
