This feels like a “fixed mindset” about energy, i.e. the way we generate and allocate energy today can not change. Of all the “wasteful” things we do with energy AI is not the top of my (very subjective) list of things to shut down.

I think the framing of Generic versus Name Brand is a useful way to think about it. There are certain industries that value a Name Brand degree: For example, big investment banks like to be able to tell their clients that they have the “bes

In a “Vacation club” you own a bag of “points” that you can use to book a unit at a resort. You are not guaranteed that units will be available, nor are you guaranteed a price (i.e. how many points you’ll have to use). You will have to pay

We see this here in the U.S. as well (and I’m sure in other countries, Japan’s “salaryman” culture comes to mind.). It’s far more industry-specific though. There are two things to consider: - when technical ability amongst competitors is hi

So, again, this describes a scenario that can be addressed with tooling and management/communication. The question I asked was why reviewers should flag code that correctly iterates over a list but does so in a different way than other

This mostly describes anti-social developer behavior I think, someone who reformats code for no reason? As their manager why aren’t you taking this up directly with them? Why aren’t you helping them configure their editor correctly?

U.S. labor is expensive, and the app delegates the order-taking job from an employee to the customer, keeping food prices more competitive and/or keeping the restaurant profitable. (Land cost is the other big expense.)

I don’t understand what is novel here. Anything that you have to pay for today (making new cheese) and recoup the costs at a later date (selling aged cheese) will mean that a lot of money is “locked up” for a period of time, and in order to
