Do you think successful founders ever get self-conscious and insecure at the idea that their primary success had a lot of luck involved?

I expect to see this paper in many lawsuits soon as evidence of copyright infringement.

Your tv example is severely outdated. Do you know how easy it is for anyone with an internet connection to watch hardcore pornography on demand for free? It's been that way since the internet went mainstream.

There is a strong correlation with a puritanical culture having much higher birth rates than a sexually permissive one, so I don't think that is the reason.

It wasn't a family business. The CEO fired the old HR and hired his wife to replace her. My department manager married the other dept manager. The finance head hired his wife when they expanded the department. With the exception of my

How about the CEO and director of HR are married, and your department head is married to the head of a department that your team supports, and the heads of finance are married to each other. All in one company! Strange power dynamics everyw

I was groped by an gay (and well-liked) coworker at a company retreat. I told my boss a few weeks later at a 1-on-1 lunch and he just made a face and then awkwardly changed the subject. Most people are cowards and avoid unpopular actions at

We need a transferable GPT, like how CNN models have been trained on basic shapes and patterns, and can then be fine-tuned to an application. A transferable GPT wouldn't know the entire internet's worth of knowledge, but it would

>As for restaurants, you are going into second and third order impacts. Yes, that's what systemic change is, and you appear to be presuming (with your mocking jab about sweat pants, give me a break) that it's irrelevant to stud

The savings would be on office heating and cooling, not home heating and cooling. You're calculating the wrong thing. Also, I thought of another thing you should factor in: restaurants. They're incredibly wasteful with food. With

Not to mention TCR just raised (last november) their monthly prices for the starter brand campaign from $0.75 to $2.00 and included a $4.00 setup fee (which was previously $0) for each starter brand. On top of that they added all kinds of a

I'm not threatening anything, these are actual human behaviors that your cost analysis has to take into account when you say things like WFH has no meaningful impact on emissions. Running HVAC on every office in the US + daily commutes

It seems you're also taking the "(in a EV!)" pedantically as a literal mandate. Nobody is saying "you must return to the office in an electric vehicle now" and I should be surprised that I have to spell that out. Th

What? Tons of people leave their HVAC on when they're at work, so that it's comfortable when they return. Now they're at home using it instead.

How about the reduction in emissions for all of the office spaces for every office in the US?

>But working from home will not make the difference between apocalypse and paradise. Ah, the old "it doesn't matter if we do X, so long as we do Y" where "X" keeps shifting to whatever the arguer wants it to be i

Yeah ok. Find a CEO who publicly says "return to the office in a gas-guzzling SUV" and I'll buy you an ice cream.

That's like saying making drugs illegal produces the correct incentives to stop the drug trade. Companies and consumers will break the law to bypass any artificial market inefficiency, and it will produce a thriving black market. Why w

The point is that people are saying loudly that this is literally a matter of life and death, but we're not being told to continue stay home if our job can be done from home, we're being told to go back to the office (in a EV!). I

Massively increased WFH (triggered by the pandemic) has done more to improve carbon emissions from transportation than any electric vehicle movement will ever do. yet you don't see a hard line top-down push for more WFH, only resistanc

Sounds like somebody's job depends on convincing people there's a good reason he didn't build it first.

Or maybe you don't know how I feel and I can come to different conclusions that aren't a result of me "not giving a damn" about people. Not everyone who disagrees with you is evil.

I don't think it's productive or wise to speculate on decisions that restrict the free association of people. Outside of narrow circumstances, an employer should not be legally required to employ someone any more than an employee
