You say that the underlying problem is a limited supply but why stop there? Why is there a limited supply? How long will looser regulations help until we're back to the same problem? Perhaps we should dig deeper. Why have we organized

Education and learning opportunities being more ubiquitous does not make them more valuable. Our society is hellbent on automating and commoditizing everything.

Work from office and not just any office. Work from the most expensive and congested area of the city. Not only is it unnecessary, I'm sure it also raises attrition, lowers productivity and harms the planet.

I can only see prices continue to go up due to climate change, wars, pandemics etc. Governments are just puppets for the rich. I wouldn't expect any meaningful change from there.

I went from a fitback back to a simple casio gshock and it was one of the better decisions I made this year. Now I don't need to worry about charging my watch every week nor do I have to think about finicky software. The best tools are

I'm sure VR will grow and have its place, it just won't be a game changing revolution like smartphones were.

When people learn to live with less and within their means, it only hurts the rich bankers that publish these type of articles.

Yep, it's jarring to see governments talk about carbon emissions and then ignore the potential emission savings by WFH.

I know it's more fun to think of an AI takeover but given the current rate of climate change, it's also possible that our species will be extinct long before that happens.

Good question. I think it's for the same reason why car manufacturers don't like it when dealers sell over MSRP; it hurts the long term customer relationship. Higher MSRP means fewer buyers which means fewer services, repairs, etc

"The best way to get a correct answer on the internet is to post an obviously wrong answer and wait for someone to correct you." Nowadays if you try that on reddit you'll probably just get downvotes and sarcastic replies.

Hot air ballons are a good example of replicating a natural phenomenon without exploiting the principals behind it. Technically it is flight and it can certainly be useful but it's a different type of flight. Until we learn the princip

The current AI paradaigm is fundamentally flawed. We do not yet understand the principles of intelligence nor even a clear definition of it. It's like trying to build a flying machine without understanding the principals of flight. Unl

If anyone is still thinking of joining Amazon, take a close look at your team. If you're the only local at your level and not willing to grind as hard as the Visa holders then you're probably being setup as the sacrificial goat fo

Using an app to block reddit on my phone from 6am to 6pm which are my peak productivity hours. Realizing that audiobooks are superior to YouTube if I'm trying to sleep. Apart from the obvious reasons, in the former case you typically m

Anyone who worked at Amazon is smart enough to not bad mouth their old employer. Anonymous discussions are as far as most people will go.

It's not just leadership, it trickles down to every aspect of work. From the poor tooling to the most toxic "team" of co-workers I've ever been on. I don't regret joining but every month I deeply regret staying. Pro
