Are there plans to do in-person classes when that becomes permitted?

Yes, this is very confusing. Some people could read this and mistakenly assume that their reflections are always kept secret (because they didn't read the second sentence). It might be better to change it to "Reflection are kept

I don't know. I just don't see it. Unlike in professional wrestling politicians, corporations, etc have real conflicts over zero sum games. Of course, there are situations where there's are incentives to cooperate. As for h

When in doubt it's almost always cognitive biases at play. I think a more reasonable assessment would indicate that people who are well resourced (either through financial, social, or skill capital) are more likely to feel invigorated

I think it may depend on the company and on how these "averages" are calculated. For a company where almost all the workforce is white collar then yes, $10K seems reasonable. In fact, I'm surprised it's not more. For a

In my experience with Anki all four of your points are spot on, especially number 3. A big problem I see with pre-made decks is that they contain just too much information.

The same reasons perfectly intelligent people join and remain in actual cults. Honestly, there are so many factors involved in it's hard to enumerate them all in an HN post. For those who are intrigued by actual cults, I strongly recom

Not shocking at all. It's a lack of leadership which shouldn't be surprising given that most corporate executives don't really know how to act in situations outside of their realm of experience.

This is worth the read. Regardless of how you feel about Bloomberg, the article reveals a lot about how elites work together to "protect" one another. My impression is that the elites who do this don't consider it "bad

I love this. In literally less than five minutes it's already given me some really valuable insights and inspiration. Feedback: make the table sortable and filterable, everyone's going to want to sort by revenue and people might

Wow. This is journalistic malpractice. I'm pretty sure "finance" workers include everyone working for financial institutions including tellers and other low wage positions. My guess is that this average has more to do with

Low is positioning this as a response to "job losses" associated with automation. https://a28.asmdc.org/press-releases/20200221-expand-economi... This makes no sense to me. $12K/yr is a nice supplement

Yes, the California economy could absorb an additional $32B in additional taxes if that money is then just re-routed back into consumers' pockets via a UBI. So the overall tax impact isn't my concern. My concern is why do this at

Not really. So far the biggest fundraiser in the Democratic primary has been Bernie Sanders and he has raised most of his money from small money donors. So it's absolutely possible to raise money without using one's own money or

I used to be YIMBY, but I doubt more construction would lead to lower costs of living. When I researched this I couldn't find any strong evidence suggesting that more building would lead to more affordable housing. You would think that

If I'm understanding this correctly, that's a pretty big savings: $500/yr versus $198/yr. Can anyone confirm this?

What's wrong with using these products? This "study" doesn't appear to make a distinction between using the products exclusively and using them in conjunction with other products. I'm betting every one of these lar

It's not that it's unmaintainable it's that it's a lot more difficult to maintain. You can get around this be having someone engineer a spreadsheet using all of the advanced functionality and VBA that Excel offers, but b

I think properly implementing a solution appropriate to the problem space is the literal definition of engineering. So "we" aren't bad at software engineering but someone definitely is.

Exactly. This is why I think hard work and intelligence should be rewarded up to a point, but then after that point all we're rewarding is bad behavior. Personally, I think a lot of this can be fixed through the tax code - making it st

According to this article, it's worse than that, we're lending money not to banks, but to hedge funds, PE firms, and REITs: https://wolfstreet.com/2019/11/06/whats-behind-the-feds-bail... These firm

Wow. This is an interesting take. I didn't know higher risk firms like hedge funds, PE firms, and REITs are borrowing so heavily in the repo market. So basically, this is the Fed just handing out cheap money to these firms. It's

I think you're right about the colonialism part but I think it was the Ottomans not the British, the British were involved for a fairly limited time, the Ottomans dominated for centuries.
