Now that "card" view is aggressively forced on users Reddit is more than ever a tool for advertisers. Users, especially those who contribute content, don't have any direct relationship with the business model and are being s

Is there really conflict here? It seems like good enough is an obvious first or second step, but over time experiences accumulate to the point where one more iteration of good enough comes to approximate perfection.

Just in the last week the main page has been changed to aggressively default to "card" size instead of "compact" which blows everything up so that ads can be big videos that get forced on people. Very clear at this poin

Interesting framing. In my opinion it is sort of the reverse. The structure of .NET was conceived at a time when Java and Objective-C were redefining how to relate to runtime. As a result it is .NET that picked up the inspired features f

Interesting speculation, but we already know things don't happen this way. Amazon management is similar in many ways. As a result employee turnover and blacklisting is causing a nationwide shortage of employees. There are only so ma

This article is kind of clumsy in how it links a complex theory with highlights of current politics. Also seems a glaring error to speak of predictions of chaos without referring to how Turchin's theory characterizes the turnaround fo

This is true but not necessarily related as saturated fat is no longer considered strongly related to heart disease. Arterial plaques are blood clots, not fat deposits.

It might be worth considering just how much other physics could be done with these resources. Improve education and experimentation for many other investigations instead. There is still much to learn about fluid dynamics, the chemistry of

My experience includes taking on a lot of various challenges and doing what it takes to ship quality products on time. But when I interview very little of that comes up or has much weight. Current interviewers usually want an immediate de

New development always targets the relatively high end. This is the same as middle to low income people buying used cars instead of new. As construction ages its value drops down until it becomes affordable.

This sounds highly rational and also comes across to me as completely wrong. I have maintained a fairly tight circle of friends and acquaintances for more than three decades. One of the patterns that stands out very strongly is the high va

Likely true, and reminds me of an amusing and revealing story. There was a craft brewery that started to become popular and had to hire a relatively large number of employees to run the operation. Word got out that nearly everyone who wor
