Moving up the stack then, could Bloomberg be publishing changes off a queue? Maybe money stuff is deployed in the same pipeline with everything else Bloomberg produces.

I think tinder serves a second purpose which is the consent component. I think social mores around what is an acceptable romantic environment are changing. It used to be a given you might meet a partner at work. I think it's verging

I don't know that all stressors are alike. I don't feel stress in exam situations, most of the stress I feel at work is around social stressors. I don't think a university education should be easy persay, but I do think tha

This seems to focus on the wrong part of the benefit of memorization, I don’t think the method of putting the information in or ‘active’ memorization is what provides the benefit so much so as it is that the information is available for act

I’m curious about your definition of the word memorization here, surely you’re not looking up every word in a multi-lingual dictionary?

Just a quick counter to the “avoid saying well, at my old company we did this”. A lot of people hire externally to get this perspective, especially if it’s a team that hasn’t grown in a while, but if that’s the case they usually won’t be s

> Your notion is that you should be entitled not even to hear about the problems of others Everyone believes this. There are too many people in the world to hear about all the problems. The problem with twitter is not that you hear abo

I don't know if this is true and this gets to the reductive nature of how people interpret political arguments. We've become so divided, the 'status quo' crowd and the 'not status quo' crowd don't even ta

I always thought of wine as less of a scale of good vs bad, and more about the individuality of the experience, kind of the way one baseball card is more expensive than another, which is not about quality -- though I also think that wine cu

Is there any like evidence of this? Beyond risks that may be associated with injury if not done correctly. My google search shows mostly positive long term effects.

'Never' used to discourage all participation? Have you visited /r/antiwork? Also, I think some of the backlash to unions is that they are often described as an unmitigated force for good, but for some it just feels lik

They don't scale up and down together in lock step, it takes time to adapt to something like a massive plague killing off the working population.

While I wouldn’t consider myself pro-union, I’m even more skeptical of a companies anti-union messaging.

I wonder what the fundamentals are of coding, that you could practice, starting from "this is a football" 1: Naming Things 2: Testing (Unit or otherwise)

Curious about the wording of this title, is there code you could write that represents each of the quadrillion mainframes on your laptop.

It's a weird criticism that shallow things existing somehow negate or overshadow the increase in "deep/amateur/artistic" things that follow. Like McDonald's negates all of the food carts or Taylor swift negate

I think this is less one vs the other and more about how closely aligned people find their beliefs and their ideas (Maybe this is what you mean by dogmatic) I believe that no one should go hungry, that everyone deserves health care, and tha

This is a cool version of "It's not about the idea but the execution of the idea". I love examples of people taking some pedestrian hobby/skill/craft and making it amazing.

I find the opposite, I can pace myself with books, take notes in the margins, interact with the harder concepts, cruise through the easier ones. Answer the questions at the end of the book in-line, it feels much more interactive. Since I

What I think gets lost in this debate is whether or no 'gifted and talented' is even an accurate abstraction. Even if you think that some students are smarter or more capable than others, it seems like the ultimate goal should be

The 'my colleagues are on twitter by not mastodon' example doesn't feel salient to me. The best example would probably be MMORPG's. Should people who play WoW have access to people who play FFIV? I guess the question

Have we ever collectively put the car back into the bag? Is there a realistic version of the world where kids are using social media less(and not because they’ve gone on to adopt something worse).

Maybe I'm workaholic, but do people like friction in their work? I mean, we should certainly push back against anyone that thinks that we should increase productivity through sheer force of will (or hours, or sacrificing mind and body
