Yeah it's a weird thing to say. Nobody likes being told they're going too fast to be eligible for immunity from speeding tickets either, and yet they chose what speed to travel in that jurisdiction didn't they. Also the law i

I promise I read the whole article, but to paraphrase the title, he plans to buy at least one more computer from this company, and possibly more. Is that how we send a message? He says it's clickbait. No my friend. "I gave my Mac

Certain sectors of the US government wouldn't be above starting a distracting fracas like this (and it's so very easy with useful idiots doing most of the work once it gets going) in order to silence, or more like drown out, a fil

Pep talk: Everybody dies alone. Sorry, not very "peppy" perhaps. All right, how about this: Quantity of women (i.e. numbers who prefer tall guys on some app) is not the same as quality of women. It's kind of the opposite in f

Well I enjoyed it. And to some degree (as I've said elsewhere on this thread and as the author himself kind of indicates), in order to appreciate the scale of the deceptions, you have to see the whole picture. And getting there takes s

Yeah that part is interesting while unfortunately being largely unknowable. A lot of people might've been aware of one or two lies and thought "Well what's the harm?" It's only when (as the author says) you start to

Just a few random thoughts in no particular order: It's ironic that his fake career arc kind of paralleled a lot of people's real ones. After fake-achieving everything he wanted to in the corporate world, he had a crisis moment an

Managers do "grunt work" too, it's just that their grunt work consists of talking to people all the damn time. Don't take a manager job (or regret not taking one) because you want the title or prestige. Take it because y

I'm one of the ones they lost. I suddenly noticed the experience is inferior. The search doesn't seem to even take into account the thing I typed in. Maybe it's just that they've been so utterly gutted by the loss of all

Some portion of the marketing work is necessary only because it's a big company that needs to keep going. When your costs are low, you can be more grass- roots about it.

Right, and the price is (inevitably) approaching the value!

Trivia note - "an apple and an egg" is a German expression to mean a cheap price, kind of like when we say something costs "peanuts."

I mostly agree, although are Amazon warehouses in the most expensive cities? My understanding was that they were big and therefore located in spread-out suburban food-deserts poorly served by public transit, where land is cheap and availabl

To answer your "question," no, probably not, but it's harder work than a cyclist needs or deserves to put in, since the whole reason society decided stop signs and signals were needed in the first place is because they notice

Whatever inspiration can come from confronting one's own mortality, I'm all for it, but keep in mind, if you're not on your deathbed, you probably have rent due next month.

The bill is not about every issue and I'm not getting into what I feel. I don't live in Florida and basically am not paying attention.

According to the Florida bill, it's when the students are 3rd grade or lower. The bifurcation point between "OK to talk about" and "not OK to talk about" is between 3rd & 4th grade.

What you found is that the internet is kind of a poor way to form meaningful connections with people. It's a great way to form a high quantity of low-quality relationships with people. In this way it's kind of like fame. Now that

Well this is a pretty good social critique, but I would like to tackle the technical side a bit more. 1) As the WorldCoin people know, there is no way a raw iris scan is going to be consistent enough to produce the same hash every time. Eve

All you have to do to improve on Google at this point is to do less, make it less bad, i.e. a process of removals, not additions. Just do the same thing, but without all the shitty extra stuff. But then what's the business model? (Sinc

I think I just came up with a new rule: You should never be in an exit interview with anything new to say. If you find yourself revealing anything in the exit interview that the company doesn't already know, you should've brought
