Yes, “ideally”. I have never seen meaningful numbers as targets. Sometimes it works for a short term effort but in most cases you have ten different measures tha5 are important

The result is the same. If a manager can’t judge whether their employees are trustworthy they are not competent for the job.

“The fundamental issue is that in almost all larger companies, upper management does not trust that their employees are either intrinsically motivated to do a good job, or are smart enough to determine what "a good job" is.” That’

At least it’s a less known school. Usually they mention only the big names like “Stanford scientists…”. When it’s a lesser known school it’s just “Scientists….”

When I went to a boxing gym in Maryland there were a lot of young black guys. For them going to prison was totally normal thing. Often they themselves had been to prison or their relatives. Some had scars from gunshots. I can’t even imagine

Has there been another Supreme Court that has overturned as many precedents than the Roberts court? It looks to me that this court will have a huge impact far into the future. They are less activist when it comes to ethics rules though. The

Same for me. I tried DT for 2 years but never got comfortable with it. Lightroom just works for me from editing to keywording and geotagging. And the AI masking stuff in Lightroom is really good.

Question for the techies here: Due to lack of political will and deep-seated corruption I believe a lot of issues in the US system are almost unfixable but I always wonder why it has to be so convoluted (besides being hyper-expensive). Why

Because everybody besides the US regulates prices.

Don't most countries do this? I am pretty sure the US has lots of spies everywhere and they spy on allies (famously on Angela Merkel's phone) and enemies. Israel spies on other countries including the US. Does China do anything d

I mined a ton of bitcoin with a friend when it was really new and then forgot about it because it was useless at the time. I kicked myself already at 1k and would have sold then. That is, if I hadn't thrown away the disk with they keys

They aren't very vendor friendly and their fees are way too high. Little bit like Amazon. they are are consumer friendly at the expense of their vendors.

After losing my first chunk of cash during 2000 .COM crash I became be quite contrarian. Thought real estate is way too high, thought the stock market is nuts, bitcoin is a scam. Turns out the big crash never happened and everything ket goi

I agree about skill. It’s just easier with religious groups.

If you make a little effort it gets easier once you hit 50s or 60s. People in their 30s and 40s are very busy with family and work. This changes once kids are gone and people near or have reached retirement.

I am sometimes jealous of religious people. They have a clear vision of the meaning of life and churches give them a social group they can join. Us atheists don’t really have something like that.

I think this is a great effort but I wonder if they could have done something cheaper that can be put in many places. I am not sure how useful one super shiny crossing will be.

iPad has reached that state. The regular iPad and the Pro make some sense but the Air is in a very awkward middle.

That’s how it feels to me. Calling out people over incorrect words is easier than working on issues but still feels good.

What's this obsession with words about? "Sexual assault" instead of "rape", "romance baiting" instead of "pig butchering". "unhoused" instead of "homeless". Many others. What

And a lunar eclipse only during full moon…. These constraints made it easier to predict eclipses in the past.

I think a lot of CRUD apps will disappear. A lot of the infrastructure may also be done by AI instead of some dude writing tons of YAML code.

My plan is to retire in 1-2 years, take a break and then, if I feel like it, go all in on AI. Right now it's at that awkward spot where AI clearly shows potential but from my experience it's not really improving my productivity on

When Apple announced Apple Intelligence I was very curious about how they would go about it. I expected a very innovative and elegant implementation but so far it feels very clunky. And the results aren't very good. ChatGPT is way bett

I am sure we can do better and revisit some misguided regulations. But in general environmental regulation is probably one of the biggest success stories of the last 60 years. I grew up when rivers were green or blue some days, the rivers w

Safety consciousness really started only in the 70s. I think Jackie Stewart was a big proponent. He often was accused of being a wimp because real men embrace risking their lives. Then it started picking up more steam in the 80s with carbo

As long as you hide behind a corporation, you can do pretty much whatever you want. Worst case, the company will pay a nominal fine as cost of doing business. And maybe somebody gets fired with a large severance.
