Rather interesting timing after the US accused China of supplying Iran with high-res imagery used to support attacks on US bases, then a Chinese satellite mysteriously broke apart

We were taught the same (Australian) - though it always felt slightly off as March often has major heatwaves, and December can be quite spring-like, often cool and wet. Adelaide’s climate anecdotally feels to be more humid in recent years (

Okay great point I hadn’t considered - makes the parent comment more sensible. Thanks!

I think this might be a US vs international thing then on the value of life insurance (typical payouts here are around $100k, 10% or more are rejected, and that policy would be around $10k a year). But nonetheless it’s the smallest/irr

Sorry what’s the inheritance logic here? Are you talking about life insurance or something? Otherwise, and again presuming the cure doesn’t work which seems absent from your assessment as a possibility, how would it affect someone’s inherit

I'm not in the startup scene or the US but I've come to understand this as 6 days a week of working 9am-9pm - typical hustle virtue-signalling nonsense and/or the latest move to exploit/shame/scare driven/despe

Agreed this was well expressed, and I value this sort of reflection and cultural introspection, even if I lightly disagree with elements of the author's piece (that perhaps I'm wrongly overreading). Per the well-expressed article,

Agree with you, though potentially easily remediated if that third party provisioned for the “+” convention.

Accepting a little exaggeration (“works” vs “works well”), for a segment, almost certainly. Particularly when they know that people like the commenter above are making sure it ultimately “works” by covering the incompetence of their colleag

A superb question that hits at the heart of the trail above.

I think we’re using different terms for value but I agree with your argument about comparative advantage and non zero sum trade, while also noting the other comments here that price is intended to correlate with marginal value in a suitably

Personally it was why I noticed the interactivity of the post, and I thought it was really cool.

Reminds me of a problem I ran into once where someone had wanted unique but short codes as identifiers for relatively small counts, and picked a substring of a UUID: http://mattmitchell.com.au/birthday-problems-friendly-iden

What would the world be like if an identity-associated (and seemingly ego-threatening to others) label was not a requirement to get access to a consumable good that made a material impact not only on an individual’s wellbeing, and life-time

If I were to say to you for the sake of argument that contextual clinical interpretation was no longer required, let’s say that we had a perfect test some other way, does part of you feel threatened or attached or defensive or argumentative

In my highest ego moments I've probably regarded my strength in the space you articulately describe - that sort of balanced points, connector, abstractor, quick learner, cross-domain renaissance dabbler. It also seems to be something t

Yeah I can picture it. The non-rhotic R on its own doesn’t narrow it further, but there would be distinction within Australia based on the sounds of the “ea” part. Off the cuff I can picture some Australians taking it more nasally at the to

As a rough generality, being good at something, like proper good at it, is incompatible with the basic forces of how modern organisations work. By this I mean the systems of reward, power, decision-making. That doesn’t mean all organisati

This might seem a little odd, but I’m trying to “find my tribe” of interesting thinkers to bounce around ideas with and your comments on this thread suggest you’d have some great/thoughtful/interesting takes. If you’re open it wou

This is a super insightful point that is obvious in retrospect and explains so much.

As much as I’m agreeable to your general observation, I feel WordArt is a really poor example to illustrate your point: few software features have had such an aesthetic, meaningful, and human impact in the course of the Internet Age. Oh how

It seems to me we’ve had a long history of bias to human specialness (uniqueness, not merely superiority) that has blinded us to consciousness elsewhere. Only 50 years ago the thought of apes being conscious was considered largely naive, ye

So I’ll say that I absolutely echo the post and general comments. I’ll also say, which I feel is a pariahable comment in 2024, that with 18 years of dev exp through the cycles of Web 1.0, 2.0, everything being a SPA, server-side rendering c
