The office advocacy seems out of place. Extroverts work this weak network methodology well with face time. Introverts are more likely to get similar results from sharing planning and status documents and lists highlighting relevant proble

I code on ten year old laptops and use Bitbucket CLI in part because of all this.

None of these objections seem at all serious to me, then the piece wraps up with "Why do I care about memory use? RAM is cheap." Excuse me? Memory bloat effects performance and user experience with every operation. Careful atte

Looking back at recent technology advancements it seems pretty clear that first movers end up getting buried by the second wave. This may be a sign that AI is dramatically increasing the scale of the errors we make.

Interesting crossover in how Jonathan Haidt in his book The Righteous Mind highlighted fairness as being the primary moral axis for conservatives, as opposed to caring and harm reduction for liberals. If that fairness is ultimately defined

I never do this. If I am hired then my personality comes along as part of the package. If the potential employer and coworkers reject my personality then the position is not a good match. For what it is worth in my recent experience most

That is a sloppy generalization. The Heritage Foundation plan for market based universal medical coverage was put in place in Massachusetts by Mitt Romney and mostly works with related issues like low supply of doctors. There are many optio

The worst thing in the information space is bullshit. It's worse than lies because it's slicker. LLMs generate extremely dangerous bullshit that can be difficult to correct. Advice given may apply to old versions, outdated legal

Interesting piece, but the idea that this guy understands how oligarchs think seems way off. Jack Welch took General Electric from a global leader to a sad bag holder and he and his fans cheered progress with every positive quarterly report

This kind of reasoning and technology would never have predicted the surge in popularity of patio solar in Germany.

US rail currently operates with shocking rates of derailment causing toxic releases and critically strained labor relations. There is business potential in this deal, but also a strong likelihood of continued disintegration.

This theory is highly generalized. Depending on context any critical resource may become precious as a result of economic problems and social disparity. Sometimes it is food, other times housing, and so on. And these triggers are differenti

This piece ignores some potentially critical points. Having large amounts of capital to carelessly throw at organizations that do not have sustaining cash flow is a recent thing. Zero interest rates are casting their shadow here. Also, with

This can solve a lot of problems, but also introduce awkward situations where it is hard to make a square shape or panel because the width measure must first be converted explicitly into a height measure in order to be used as such which mi

White House or White Noise? It is increasingly hard to differentiate the two.

Sounds like you could use some input from someone experienced with product marketing. They are all about this kind of communication, both expressing ideas to potential customers and hearing their feedback from initial exposure.

That is invalid framing of the issues. We know from Picketty's study of Capitalism that capital accumulates because returns on capital are higher than not and from Turchin's work on Cliodynamics that inequality drives social brea

Communism used to be thought of in this way. It enabled societies to cast off old limitations and make remarkable progress. Until it didn't and Communists found themselves and their modernized society stuck well behind the rest of the

This is simply raising one specific case of something education is expected to train for. There is already ample evidence that critical thinking skills are essential for political function and social stability.

Which raises the issue of what education is for. Is it to know things and solve specific problems in a controlled environment, or is it to work with available tools and resources across a range dynamically changing contexts? Does being at a

Anyone who can engineer software systems is likely able to engineer some kind of company. Not the path for everyone, but it is one way of moving forward without staying linked to the industry.

Yes, that is a really extreme simplification. There were at least three major groups of early humans around Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands 20k+ years ago. The main point of interest is that all of these groups were genetically dif

There is genetic evidence linking these very old inhabitants to Pacific Islanders of that time and there were more islands at that time because of lower sea levels.
