Actually, solving problem quick and dirty, putting the solution to a test and iterating will probably result in better outcomes than simply thinking super hard and making less attempts for a whole bunch of tasks. It sure helps to be able to

I had 3.4 and similar number of points as you. The questions don't really work that well. E.g. the healthcare one doesn't work for my country where universal healthcare is a law and thus State truly has duty to provide it and anyo

Whoa, it's just caffeine where I live. I don't think I've seen more than 10% of the team to use anything else. It would be an interesting study, though.

The moment project manager stops taking care of minutes, meeting agenda, getting all the stakeholders in the same meeting and ensuring all issues have an assignee and instead starts taking interest in the specifics of the project, I bail.

You could still be doing a bullshit job, though. Shareholders are institutional nowadays and what they ask for can very easily not be aligned to their needs. Not to speak of needs of the wider society. Pension fund manager wants bonus, not

No, it shows that we need to build companies where employees have stake in the company and means to affect it's direction. Because otherwise you are always fighting an uphill battle and get boiled like a frog when things inevitably sta

I feel that "Eat the rich" reaction is simply an outcome of when people realize that they are in fact being exploited. Many were feeling similar in USSR. "Who does not rob the state, robs his own family" was a pretty pop

Real life under capitalism is overrated. It is somewhat hard to find an engaging game after 35, since you have already played everything there was and know all the tropes. Maybe if we did not have a school system that completely kills any i

Agreed. I am married and have meaning of my life pretty much figured out, but I do play games and watch anime on the side. The biggest problem with average contemporary "true adults" is that they only act as if they have their shi

Not really. I believe you are liable if the other person understands you are advising them based on your expertise in the specific field. 1. So if someone tells you they are a lawyer and then proceeds to tell you to do something illegal, th

Looks like selling company you helped build because you believed in the idea to people who are only interested in profits often leads to worse service and dissatisfied customers. Who would have thunk.

Do they? I can't really imagine anything like that. I would be inclined to believe that they purchase ready-made tools from Israeli/US companies. But hacker teams?

I wouldn't be concerned about LE getting more power if I've not witnessed the scale of public sector corruption and collusion with capitalists. LE is getting exactly zero more powers from me until I see specific people I've m

We overestimate impacts in the short term and underestimate impacts in the long term. It's the part of the hype cycle. 1. Regulatory capture is a relevant worry. 2. We will see a lot of Ad infested disinformation ML around. 3. FLOSS wi
