I also feel like it has something to do with the aging process itself, perhaps biochemical. When I was younger I just wanted to hang around and try to find girls to fuck. The idea that I would enjoy working was crazy to me. Now in my 30s

Basically, replace anything that uses an electric or gas motor with your own labor: * Rake leaves * Shovel snow * Cut grass using push mower * Construction projects around the house * Gardening: tilling, pulling weeds, etc. * Transportation

I recall Andrej Karpathy saying that people originally tried to do that for image classification (such as cats/dogs problem) and weren't able to get anything close to high accuracy.

If it's on the internet, sure people can edit it, but other people can freely exchange the original.

Seems like a good argument against long-duration copyrights. The sooner we can freely exchange electronic copies of works the better.

If it's clearly defined then write code that implements the same filter. No neural networks or ML models allowed. Then I will believe you.

Maybe if you work for a small company or a small department where every person is co-located. Larger companies usually have people around the world that need to communicate. That happens over teleconferencing.

It seems like you've only made the case for people who don't like the standard list of inheritors or for gay people, not everyone like you mentioned before.

Does it? I'd be interested in the data on private tutoring. Would be really interesting if tutoring could turn an average student into a great mind.

My company decided to go the worst of all worlds approach: force seniors (full-time) employees into the office on a hybrid schedule while only hiring juniors as fully-remote contractors. It's insane.

No. As a general very rough rule of thumb, you can burn 100 cals per mile on foot. In an hour of jogging you can likely burn 600+ calories. Even walking, you can likely burn 300-400.

Difficult things are often the most worthwhile. Things also become easier once they are a habit.

Why the need to rehash everything? Create something new.

I think the point is not so they can't fire you, it's so you can collect unemployment if they do. The employer can't just claim you quit.

I've definitely been on the other side of this. If I have a 5pm train home to catch and a 45 minute ride to disconnect from work, I'm not likely to log on later and get more work done from home. With remote, there is at least th

Or just provide actual offices to people, the kind with doors that shut. Make the office actually an attractive place to work.

The downside is you are still chained to your desk / Slack whether you are actually getting any work done. Sounds like OP doesn't have to pretend to be working.

Gangster PTO: "take off all the time you need, but be careful or that nice job of yours might have an accident"

And yet, people don't tend to do that because they fear being stack-ranked by their number of days off. I mean don't get me wrong, if my employer were to go unlimited PTO, I would absolutely use it to the max I could (perhaps tak

Layoffs could just be 6+ months out. While management is often short-sighted, I don't think we can just dismiss this possiblity.

The fix is just to have accrued PTO. That way employees know how much they are allowed to take and if they get laid off or business needs prevent them from being able to use it, they get a payout.

I feel like there's a balance but it's pretty low for most people. I recall a study that said the happiness of unemployed people improved when they started working again but the maximum benefit was reached from only one day per w

Nowadays I just buy the fancy "pastured" eggs because they're $7/dozen vs. $5/dozen for the lowest quality.

Having accrued PTO essentially solves this problem. Either you take your assigned leave or if the business requires you to skip your vacation they can either give you an extra payout for it or they can let you roll PTO over into next year.

by jxidjhdhdhdhfhf 4y ago
Important clarification, thanks. I'm ok with that terminology and it aligns well with the idea that this is more about limiting vacation and eliminating accrued leave payouts.
58.
by jxidjhdhdhdhfhf 4y ago
Unless they're ok with you taking three years off work paid, it's not "unlimited". And honestly it shouldn't be legal to call it that. Really what has happened is that vacation has changed from a guaranteed X days

UBI seems great as someone pursuing the FIRE route. Let's say I need $80k for a comfortable lifestyle in my Midwest town. At a 4% safe withdrawal rate, I would need to save $2M to achieve that. But add in a $20k UBI for my wife and
