I think people are assuming some sort of coercive outcome if sex were to be considered a human right. What it might realistically produce are more lenient, practical and compassionate laws around sex work. For example, there are people who

The popular, incorrect, narrative taught in schools also conveniently avoids introducing the concept of corruption via preferential treatment. I doubt there was a concerted effort in regards to that, but as a child I remember internalizing

You can see an example of a search warrant in the link below. It specifically outlines the properties to be searched. If someone had multiple warehouses in question, I assume they would have to be individually listed. https://www

Prevailing attitudes aren’t a good barometer for judging the ethics of our individual choices.

I’m slowly realizing that one of my biggest mistakes is making my pomodoros 90 minutes in length. It worked for a bit, but then it became overwhelming to think that I’d be stuck for that long in each session. The standard 25 minutes isn’t e

I love this. I noticed there’s also an article in the same style explaining the internet. Looks like I have my reading material while I wait for my vaccine today!

My understanding of 10x was basically a programmer who is 10x more productive than the average. I assumed the myth was dependent on the output, not necessarily the process...

I stumbled on a really good job posting this weekend, which I’m 100% qualified for and am sure I would have a really good chance of getting, but the last sentence was “We currently don’t offer health insurance.” Based on that alone, I had t

I wouldn’t want a friend who is tripping on acid to watch my dog, let alone helm a company where billions of dollars are at stake. I understand that he made a dosing mistake, but to pile on this whole thread, what he did was a forehead-smac

Yes! Unfortunately I was not born with Vitalik Buterin’s innate genius, so I understand I have to move myself forward more mechanically.

This “Type-A” hustle mentality resonates with me. I do see lots of people pushing back on it, ie ridiculing JD’s that mention passion, emphasizing work-life balance, disdain for “brogrammer” culture, etc. This seems especially prevalent on

To access the “open” internet, Floridians would have to resort to VPN’s, or proxies, as if they were in China or North Korea.

The point for me is that it makes my reading more active. I also get a physical feel for code style. If I was just reading source code, it would be a lot easier to skim over things without letting them cook in my brain from a bit.

I’ve had this for several years. It works. The lack of override is a HUGE plus. From my understanding, if I really want to override I can email the company and ask for help, but that hasn’t happened in the 4-5 years I’ve had it. The main us

I like the mental shift that focusing on process entails. For your process goal, do you have a list of activities or tasks you do for that? Here are some of mine, although I’m unsure of relative ROI’s (maybe “return on investment” is antith

If all events have causes, then nothing can happen spontaneously. A “will” in that world can’t be “free” or disconnected from the causal chain. If there are events that don’t have causes, either they are random, or we need to introduce an u

If I hallucinate prismatic shapes overlaying everything, it does not follow that there is some non-physical phenomenon which is responsible. “It is obvious that the world is covered in prisms. It’s obvious that those prisms don’t fit in my

There is no resolution to that contradiction. The concept of a “free will” is absurd, and arose because of the psychological illusion of choice. It is a rationalization of how we feel as we exist in the world. This realization can be diffic

This is genius. I hadn’t heard of this logging style before. I’m going to try it tomorrow morning.

The realization that free will is an illusion ideally allows compassion to develop in an individual. If a society shed its belief in free will, then it would act more compassionately, eg the opposite of barbaric.

Whatever rationalizations people make, I think ultimately, a belief that some people are evil is what the death penalty hinges on. I don’t believe in free will, thus I don’t believe in moral culpability, this I don’t believe in evil. From t

My initial intuition to your last question was, “No, suffering usually entails some sort of looking-back process that places the pain in that context.” I then realized that animals can suffer, and either I’m confounding Buddhist and Western

I think the UX is what really makes apps like Robinhood stand out. People are used to a certain level of slickness, and a lot of traditional services just haven’t kept up. It reminds me of when I first downloaded the Chime bank app... It wa
