It’s a debated issue, not a great embarrassment. This article is a good guide to the topic: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/species/

Cambridge, for sure. If you can get a job at Amazon today, you'll easily be able to get it/a better one in 1-2 years with a Cambridge degree.

Bandcamp? Direct sales on their website? I can understand the piracy argument 25 years ago, when these didn't exist. But at this point, I think there are plenty of ways to directly support artists.

It’s always really bizarre to me how pirates justify stealing creative works as some sort of culture. The record companies were/are awful, for sure, but the solution is to support musicians directly then, not come up with elaborate jus

One of the most salient examples of this attitude is how the sub-field of the philosophy of technology is basically ignored by all technologists. “Why should doers care what thinkers think,” you might wonder? Well, because they might have i

There’s a very low cost to buying bad bread: you throw it away and don’t go there again. Connecting your business to a SaaS is very different and comes with much higher costs if you pick a bad solution.

This is only relevant at the lower end, when you don’t really care about the company you’re paying, as long as it fixes your issue. At the high end, big companies are loathe to trust new AI-coded-looking startups. Relationships and meetings

I work for a SaaS and we recently had an interesting situation where we lost some smaller customers but are in the process of getting dramatically larger ones at the same time. As in, we lost some customers that were roughly 20-people compa

Most of the new series have nothing to do with the original one, and are original stories.

A few months ago I spent an entire Saturday reading a long book (Underworld by Don DeLillo) deliberately with my phone off. I walked around, went to a restaurant, sat on a bench in the park, all with just the book. It was one of the most “g

Technically we don’t know what Socrates actually said, we just know what Plato has him saying. Very plausible that Socrates was rambling in person, and Plato cleaned up his thoughts in the process of writing them.

I don’t think the post says this at all. It’s mostly just common sense, like “don’t tell the interviewer you just want the job for the money and the ability to live abroad.” Instead be interested in whatever the company is doing. This seems

Not really. No one wants a Rolex or Omega with ChatGPT in it.

Basically anything that is a luxury good is probably safe from AI. If people are buying it for status or high performance reasons, they aren’t going to pick the low end AI slop version.

Berlin isn’t the alpha economic city in Germany though. There isn’t really one, but it’s more like Frankfurt. Berlin has a lot of English speakers because it’s been a cool place for young people to move to from across Europe for the last fe

Philosophy undergrad here and yeah I’d say law school was the typical next step. A few medical school as well.

Aha, continental philosophy is definitely worth learning as well. I don’t share the disdain many analytic people have for continentals. However I don’t think it’ll make you better at writing clearly, unfortunately…

Can you rephrase that in simpler terms? I don’t understand what you’re asking.

I studied analytic philosophy, which is basically an education in how to clarify your thoughts, say what you mean in precise terms, and make clear arguments. IMO there is no better preparation for any sort of writing-and-thinking job than s

I don’t think it’s that difficult. Evangelicals’ beliefs and who they vote for are not the same thing; they largely seem to have voted for his Supreme Court nominees and consequently decisions like Roe. That’s a reality of a two party syste

Gambling bans have been slowly undone for decades. This isn’t something that happened in the recent MAGA populist era; which is the portion of the right that seems to be okay with the gambling stuff.

Society needs to rediscover the idea that not all moral judgements are religious in nature, and in many cases are just basic pragmatic ones. The bans on gambling were often framed in Christian terms, so as society became more secular, they

FYI OP your comments are all dead. I don’t see this as something SaaS owners would actually pay for every month. A one-time service maybe, sure, but then you better have some suggestions as to what they should switch to. I also think a dail

Depends on what you mean by right wing and left wing, but: Not really, I’d say it’s more neoliberal. That is to say, broadly, more liberal/open-minded on social issues, and more pro-market on economic ones. However I do think there is
