you mean, just like companies have it in the US? they also cooperate, to do things like suppress wages or fix prices. what's stopping them from getting whatever they want?

are we? from what I've seen this is mostly talk, the statistics suggest that while globalization isn't growing as much as it was previously, it's more like it's leveled off rather than actually decreasing.

Wow, this is pretty cool, thanks for sharing! Impressed by how useful this is. One note, I used the `:anki:` command and while I got a valid fill-in-the-blank Cloze deletion, the DALL-E command didn't seem to do anything. I think the A

For my job search process I created a custom note type specifically for interview problems. My general process was go to LeetCode, find a medium/hard problem, hack on it for 30-60 minutes, then look at the solution if I couldn't g

Spotify + Anki is an app that helps you learn to recognize songs directly within the Anki flashcard program. It's based upon an integration with your personal Spotify account, and uses your followed artists to generate Anki cards. The

Extensive reading sounds compelling. Do you have recommendations for services that offer such content? In my own language learning, I have found a few websites here and there (eg Hola Qué Pasa [1]), but nothing that has a large database wit

I love genanki. If you create your cards such that they have an ID in the first field, you can also update them over time. This is useful for pulling from online sources whose underlying data may change over time. It's also nice when y

In my experience, you really only start to see these problems at the tens of thousands of flashcards level. I have ~70,000 mature flashcards and also have the growing backlog problem, even if I don't add new cards for weeks. My collect

> productivity per employee is too low When referring to productivity, what do you mean in this case? For Google, their profit per employee is still very high (about $300k [0]). Of the top 10 biggest employers in that list, they are 3rd-

It seems like the article is saying that the fact that there isn't a union is actually a big help in the ability to do this kind of lay-off. > Swedish companies must negotiate with unions before layoffs. However, this was not the ca

Rough self-talk from Marcus Aurelius in this passage. Not a big fan of this kind of approach personally. I've found that if I need to do this kind of self-motivation, I should be thinking much higher-level for the causes -- why do I no

Very cool! I use a similar approach with genanki. Your approach reminds me of shared art decks like [0]. However I found that it can be difficult to retain this information over the long term -- it tends to come in from random painters&#x2F

I feel like 50 years (since end of Bretton woods) really is not that long, plus we do still rely on petrodollar demand vibes to provide some sort of link to a commodity. We have yet to see the dollar truly unlinked from anything physical.

When I hear employers present these ultimatums, I always wonder what would happen if you didn't quit but also didn't come into work, simply continued doing your job as before from home. My sense is that many employers are bluffing

Well, when a company starts considering who to lay off, they're not gonna start with people who they think are rockstars. At worst those folks would get reassigned.

Replacing the "due card" count with a graph that visually shows the memory decay is brilliant. What I imagine being especially nice about this UI too is that it would do a much better job of adjusting to how much of your content i
