Good point! So, in reality, it isn't the dog, it's what you do when you're a dog owner. I think that's why they phrased the paper with "dog ownership", implying that the main condition for improved health isn&#

Any light you can shed on this (pun intended, of course) is welcome. Still, sounds incredible, is it just on peak times or on a daily basis?

Disagree. I would spend all my afternoons indoors unless I had a dog. Having to walk it no less than half an hour a day means I'm forced to do some sort of exercise that I wouldn't do otherwise.

If the assumption is that the user is looking for the cheapest option regardless of how he's been treated, this strategy makes sense. But that leaves you at the mercy of the competition, which in an open data business (I mean, airlines

Oh, absolutely! How can you measure "I'm sick of being tricked into buying", "I wish this site treated me with respect", "I'm the client, and I feel like the product"?

Just an overall impression, in the idea that "Millenials are this", "Millenials are that". Most of the times when someone frames a group of people into common characteristics, it sounds condescending to me.

I'm not Chinese, and this article seems too...broad? I guess you can say anything about Millenials from anywhere, with condescending tone, and get pageviews.

I've got mixed feelings about this article. Sure, I hate the idea to be force to meet unrealistic deadlines, but that doesn't come from Agile. It is a condition imposed by markets. Sure, in the long term, good quality code, whatev

Agreed. GDPR already discussed this, and the only reasonable and enforzable thing they could agree on was "clear use and purpose of storing your data". What I don't see fit is that some people is willing to give away their pr

A Brief History of Nearly Everything goes over the story. An amazing, very recommended read.

Good point, but it's how the market goes: I have different demands in terms of salary, and I pursue them differently than yours. On the other side, if you have some sort of differentiating power (you're one of those 10x developers

Sounds a lot like Thomas Midgley Jr[1], inventor of leaded gasoline - followed by a ferocious PR campaign against banning it, and CFCs - same. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley_Jr .

Wasn't this effect mentioned in Cal Newport's "Deep Work" under a different name?

Worth asking: how does wasting your time on being interviewed for this fits into this framework?

Love this.

Wouldn't you need the worse pilot you can get? Average doesn't account for the fact that 50% of the sample are WORSE.

Good point! Language can express consciousness, which means that consciousness imply the ability to use language. As in, "we don't know what's inside, so the ability to puke sounds is enough for us to say there's a mind

What I understood from reading Noam Chomsky is that language was reduced to being able to speak (collectively, not in a human by human case). That in this, we were a unique species. Your second point is what came to mind when I read it, and

Imagine the guy up there, screaming "This is hopeless, there's no way we are EVER going to make any money!!" So yeah, he's supposed to say that. It's as if he didn't say anything.

TV has been doing this for ages, although with the capabilities that it has. So far, you could guess who was watching based on the time of the day, the time of the year, and some survey data here and there. TVs are no different from compute

People seem to forget that a lot: losing your shareholder's money isn't a business.

That's unfortunately not the case. You might be abstracted from all the things Amazon or a small website should do in order to get you your stuff where you are. That's why there are Incoterms in order to agree who pays what. Take

The UN has no way to enforce anything. It comes down to individual countries in the end, and sometimes that's too general.
