For me it’s the opposite. I don’t have any junk food at home but when I was in the office I was constantly surrounded by pretzels, ice cream and candy bars. I also often do some work in the backyard while I am thinking about a problem.

Totally agree. But with newbies I feel it’s very important to check from time to time if they are banging their heads on the right wall.

There will be a lot of these people maintaining the currently fashionable microservice/multiple languages/use as many AWS services as possible/scalable systems in a few years.

It was clear that making drugs legal wouldn't solve all problems. What needs to happen is that the budgets that got spent on prosecuting and imprisoning drug users now gets spent on treatment options.

Having been in a jury this debate format is a big problem. If one of the sides is not good at presenting their case, there is a problem. In one of my cases the prosecution had an expert witness that stated some totally wrong facts about vis

Intelligence Squared does this but I think most debates suck anyways.

I think most billionaires have the belief system "I deserve more money and power and what's best for me is best for society".

Who actually is at that scale? Not many. For everybody else you create a lot of complexity for no benefit.

by rqtwteye 3y ago
It depends on the granularity. I see projects where 3 developers create 13 micro services. Basically they buy all the complexity without having any benefits. I generally hate the term “micro services”. They are just “services” and nothing

I had one as a rental and I thought it's great. Right size, enough power, maybe the handling could a little better/sportier. We need more smaller, utilitarian cars instead of the ever bigger cars that are being sold.

That’s what I am thinking. I am ok with food subsidies but we should direct them towards healthy food.

I bet crypto will have the same problems any other type of money has once it gets widely used. I don’t see anything in crypto that can solve our current problems.

Buterin reminds me a little of string theorists in physics. There is a lot of intellect but they have chosen to chase something that doesn't produce anything really useful despite a ton of effort.

I think history tells us that capitalists/aristocracy/owners don't voluntarily share their gains with the rest. They are perfectly fine living in splendor while the populace lives in poverty. And they tell themselves stories

I never understand why people (especially in the US) have a desire to split everything into two opposing sides. Liberal/conservative, introvert/extrovert and many others. I think it's pretty obvious that most (all?) people ar

I still remember when my dentist sold his practice to a larger group. Suddenly they found things that needed to be fixed immediately during every teeth cleaning. After two years I went I another dentist and suddenly my teeth were healthy ag

I would be ok with your opinion if we made advertising for food illegal. As it is now, we have a massive onslaught of marketing for unhealthy foods that's designed to exploit every weakness of the human psyche. It's a massive imba

Good points. I religiously turn on my laptop at 9 in the morning and turn it off at 17:30. During that time I am always reachable but after that the laptop is off and I have no work related apps on my phone. Also: when I am on vacation I am

"technical people shouldn't feel like they need to take the managerial route to "get ahead". " In most companies that's definitely the case. You can make way more as a mediocre manager than as an outstanding IC

That's definitely the case at my company. To get to the same pay grade that even mediocre managers get promoted to by default, an IC basically has to walk on water.

There rarely are systems designed in a malicious way. Most malicious systems slowly get shaped actors to their advantage. In some cases (insider trading or corruption) the government steps in and stops the abuse by laws and regulation. In

When communicating through a middleman you always lose information or it gets distorted. There is definitely value in talking to upper levels directly.

It's always a good sign when an exec comes in and lists things that are working well at the moment.

Reminds me a little of a lot of interns who all want to "lead". Doing the work is lower class. There is more money in talking about work.
