You are contradicting yourself. Being an A player is your reputation. No one is going to hire your into a senior level role without you first having a good reputation.

You have to be careful how you let people go if you want to attract good talent. There is always a chance of a misfit, and the right thing to do is to part ways as soon either party realizes it, but you want to do this in a way that is not

Also, real estate agents are just as incentivized to sell the property as quickly as possible. Selling a property at say $1M in one week (3k commission) > 1.05M in three weeks (only $150 more for two more weeks of work). I wish real est

Whenever strong AI vs humans comes up I'd like to point to the relationship of monkeys vs humans. Humans are to monkeys what strong AI is to humans. Monkeys are probably mostly happy (as long as we are not bothering them) going about

Agree with you observation. I think this just makes things even worse. Real news cost $ to produce. If publishers charge for access to real news, then what we are left with by default is the fake "news" that is so cheap to produc

Would poorer people have access to non-fake news? Or would they be force to read/consume fake-but-free news?

What we call "evolution" is simply the bias towards survival present in self replication. The bias is present because the genomes that did not exhibit it died out in competition with the ones that did. The fact that we as humans f

Is someone wealthy just because the house they own has grown in value? Practical wealth is how much you have relative to the cost of living. Someone in a $1M house is not necessarily more wealthy than when their house was $100K if all thei

A bit contrarian but I think the first hire should be a great technical recruiter.
