I mean, that was the theory of passing the bill, yes. You can question that theory, but it's not like some new explanation for the purpose of the law.

I've come to believe this is just a legitimate personality difference. I really struggle to find joy when I'm working on something that I question the usefulness of. But I've worked with many people who find the work itself j

I do think many corporations will fail for this reason. But some will successfully adapt, and others will start fresh and have no baggage. I do think it will be easier for very small organizations to compete than it was previously - which i

I think a splashy coordinated resignation seems better. But certainly there's not like some obvious best option!

When a federal employee is directed to do things that they feel violate their oath to the constitution, they have a few choices: 1. Violate their oath, 2. Refuse to follow the directive, 3. Resign. In my view resigning, especially a large c

Right. Even random would be more principled.

Not always . Both the Digital Service and 18F appear to be (to have been...) good faith efforts to apply state of the art system engineering to the federal bureaucracy, and quite successfully. This is just one administration co-opted by on

The legislature is well within its rights to delegate rulemaking authority. (I recognize that non-delegation is a live debate, but I think it's a silly one.) But the executive has to make those rules within the bounds of the delegated

You really can't see how they are both powers that presidents (arguably) technically have but which they do not execute? And that a president actually exercising such a power is thus a power grab? Nothing in my comment is comparing the

You are dying on the hill of a pedantic point. A president also has the power to declare an emergency and deploy the military domestically. Doing so would still be a power grab. The term just doesn't have the precise narrow definition

But that ... is a power grab...

Pretty hard to square this perspective with the recent Raimondo decision, no? Is the EPA, at the direction of the sitting president, making rules about coal power plants not an example of the use of "all executive power. All of it.&quo

Yep! I think these tools are incredibly useful, but I think they're basically changing all our jobs to be more like what product managers do, having ideas for what we want to achieve, but farming out a significant chunk of the work rat

Fair enough. But it is not hard to find people who think corruption is bad regardless of who is doing it.

It's not simple but it's not opaque .

I don't see how this undermines the argument. That's all bad too. It's consistent with the argument, not contradicting it.

Really? There are plenty of valid criticisms of kubernetes, but this doesn't strike me as one of them. It gives you tons of control over all of this. That's a big part of why it's so complex!

... you started your comment with "batteries are not a grid scale solution" and then you described one of the primary reasons batteries are useful at grid scale. I don't get it, did you put an extra "not" in your op

Mightn't it just be that it's a newer technology, which newness has attracted a younger crowd, and this happens to be part of the younger culture right now, more broadly?

The residential one seems a bit high, but the industrial one doesn't seem crazy to me.

Six months for "permanent industrial electric service" sounds pretty reasonable, actually.

I guess you could say "batteries are not a grid scale solution" as long as you ignore ERCOT and CAISO...

Since you have a math brain, you can probably conceptualize the concept of statistical distributions, right? In any discussion of this sort of thing, what people are saying is that different circumstances lead to different distributions in

I think I've seen us be able to do more with fewer people than in the past. But that isn't the limiting factor for our hiring. All else equal, we'd like to just do more , when we can afford to hire the people. There isn&#x27

But any heavy use of "no-code" apps also ends up looking this way, with "straight-up code" behind many of the wysiwyg boxes.

Notably, I don't think there was a mass disemployment of "old C hands". They just work on different things.

Yeah it's an interesting point, but it was also hard to physically copy things for all of those millennia.
