I’m not certain that’s it. The best theory on why communism never caught on in Western Europe is that they were too developed. You need a lot of people that are in agriculture and Western Europe was beyond that.

Unless you’re exceptional. You keep leaving that part out. There’s a parallel gradient of ability and practicality. Has to do more with ability than wealth - although wealth lets you do w/e because you’re rich. There’s reality and ther

I think you missed the entire point. Botany is great and important for some exceptionally talented person. The kind of kid that gets scholarship to a top university because they’re super smart and conscientious. These people will make a dif

As it turns out, middle and working class people finally figured out it isn’t worth paying $100k for book club. One of the mistaken beliefs of many Americans is that class isn’t a big thing here. And with this mistaken belief, millions have

Saturating a single type of labor simply drives down market value for that type of labor. You need to increase population across the entire labor base for it to make sense.

It’s funny you mention that NZ expats are ending up in Australia. You would think this article would suggest they have a problem with brain drain in NZ and should solve it by local companies raising pay to keep talent at home. But alas, the

Yeah good call catching up on things you enjoy line reading. You’ve got skills and a desire to keep them up. You’ll be fine.

Yeah the growth story hasn’t come back so most places aren’t aggressively hiring to meet future demand right now. We’re sort of in a consolidation phase right now. Use this time to improve your skills so when we begin to shift back into gro

I wonder if it had to do with tuberculosis, which is airborne? Tenements were designed with that in mind and in the USA houses built in the early 20th century often feature “sleeper porches”. Outside areas to sleep to get fresh air. This to

Yea, we need to train them that their opinions are wrong regarding whatever arbitrary thing the various elite classes think today. That their wrong think only gets in the way of the things we want.

No they just don’t appreciate the ethics they say are the right ones, the art they say are the important ones, and the community they say is the better one. Most this crap is propagandized via the slow walk through the institutions. Scumbag

It’s sort of scary how authoritarian Canada has become in recent years. From compelled speech, gun confiscation, to financially alienating political dissenters to now possibly trying to force companies to participate in things they don’t wa

What in particular are they doing? This seems different than watching day to day work. I understand that if the company is suspicious an employee is doing something that’s an fireable offense then they need tools to take action.

I don’t understand why a manager wants to waste their time monitoring this. Workers are measured by their outputs. You should be able to clearly identify a contributors outputs. There’s many ways and popular tools to track this. So long as

I thought it’d be lower level as it’s still very abstract and more of an operating systems guide than a guide on how CPUs physically run programs. Like how a string of current representing 1s and 0s allows the CPU to do certain things, etc.

I don’t think it’s anything line antibiotics. I don’t judge people for taking brain scramblers but I think it’s obvious they are vastly over prescribed. 20% of women are on some form of them. There’s no way that’s natural. There must be a r

NoSQL is as popular as it has ever been though. Many of those most popular NoSQL DBs have outgrown the general database market for a decade and it doesn’t look to be slowing down. Saying that, SQL databases are still the king by a wide marg

Well, considering that science is wrong far more often than it’s right (and done poorly), blindly appealing to it as sole arbiter and authority is maybe a bit hubristic? Also - you can acquire postpartum depression while pregnant. You can g

That’s darkly humorous. That a persons depression is the only thing stopping them from killing themselves. And to get to a better state they have to cross the stage where they are still depressed but have acquired a “can do” attitude. End o

I think people don’t understand that you can’t just apply for this job. It’s always been an in-demand job and you’re right, you have to put many years in doing hard work in the warehouses first. It’s a massive filter function not unlike STE

It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of Capitalism. It's only accelerating and IMO it is impossible to stop. And we shouldn't try.

This is such a poorly thought out essay I'm surprised to see it here. No citations to previous historians,m thinkers, philosophers, etc. until we get to Marx. And then this beauty: > The less employers pay out in wages, the fewer co

The first step is to stop incentivizing this kind of behavior. The world runs on incentives and this is no different. Able bodied drug addicts should be arrested and put into jail. It’s in their best interests. For the rest we have shelters
