These stories don't really make sense to me though, why are single elderly people living in the home that housed their whole family with children, now that the children have moved out? Shouldn't a family home be used for a family?

I think this is a really good point, and I think those physical jobs would have given the same burnout if they were equally meaningless/disorganised. Imagine being assigned physical tasks that change in the middle of execution, or are

The way I see it, is that it's good to have diversity and not push too hard on a norm that doesn't suit everyone, and it's not a solution to attack the norm and swing the pendulum in the other direction, because that will pro

And if you remove the strive for achievement, people still get depressed because of lack of purpose and meaning.

I keep reading between the lines that the fiscal policies are incentivising and prioritising innovation and higher education and knowledge work, and getting rid of manual labor by automation or outsourcing. Seems like a good thing, the way

The best teams I've ever worked with, that were the most productive and also had the best team work and team spirit, was when we assigned tasks in planning. And gave the tasks to whoever was most suitable to work on it. Unfortunately w

No, using force from the state is a last resort when people really can't use their own judgement, and is avoided as much as possible, this is consensus all over the political spectrum. And being against parental leave is in no way hype

But one of you really is a daisy, people are not equal, and those daisies are actually what's responsible for most of this machine and it's origins in the first place. Without daisies there will be no place for cogs, the cogs come

Yeah why do people have this view on programmers I just don't understand, every other single effing job in the world requires training and ramp-up, except programmers? And the fact that programming is depending on a unique pre-existing

The country would be even better off with a financially literate, empowered population that could be responsible for their own lives, and could come to these conclusions themselves. Why are you surprised that an american centered website ha

The parent comment is an equally pointless call for sympathy with no substance.

To educate people to take responsibility for their lives? Yes, I think that's the right thing to do from a moral standpoint. People deserve freedom and deserve empowerment. I think it's morally wrong to have forced guardianship of

I don't think companies should be involved in people's personal lives at all, it's out of scope. The state is the only one that can subsidise a particular constellation of family life. You would open up to all kind of differe

by jseban 5y ago
I'm against it. Why give people less responsibility and less freedom, as they get smarter and more educated. And why revert to a more costly and inefficient public sector to achieve this. Seems like moving in the absolute wrong directi

Yeah this makes perfect sense. Paid parental leave is just a welfare system like any other, and has the same drawbacks as always. People act as if it's some invention to create free time out of thin air.

by jseban 5y ago
Yeah which doesn't make any sense, how can you motivate to have two adults full time only to care for your own children. Sure I agree with the parent that "it's nice" but come on, it's extremely privileged. And it&#

I suspect that "very well off" people in the US most likely have only one breadwinner and one stay at home parent more or less full time. And/or a nanny. The upside like I said, is that you save all that unnecessary work in t

You would be better off financing your own "benefits" if you're above average. And everyone would theoretically also be better off without the benefits, because of how much money you would save in all the bureaucracy needed.

Lower incomes is a direct requirement of higher taxes.

It doesn't need to be veiled, that's already the official policy: people are responsible for providing for their children. You have to have money to have kids. It's just a little less. On some level you have to encourage peop

by jseban 5y ago
A rational answer to that would be yes for anyone who is making an above average salary, and no only if you are below average. That's how all tax funded benefits work.

Yeah and also, most (upper) middle class families in the US are making a lot more money so can actually afford much more time home with their children, compared to the paid leave that Europe has. So that's actually better from one poin

I don't like templating, it's too restrictive, feels like back to the 90s. This is typically aimed at coders who secretly don't want to code, and fall for tools that seems like they can avoid it. What I like most about React

This is what I do as well, I don't understand why programmers try so hard to avoid ever taking notes (or reading a manual). It's somehow too boring for programmers to work in a structured way, they want to pretend that their job i

It's not random at all, he's just playing the changes, it's not even outside. Random notes would sound a lot different, maybe it's just rapid stream of notes that don't sit well with you, that's the bebop sound
