Not at all. I think it's because HN attracts systems thinkers and You're looking at it from the perspective of someone who has an immediate problem to solve: how to get from point a to point b. Sure, use a car for that. A lot of

I assume the counter-argument is that this time change is happening faster since it's driven by intangibles like code. It took a long time for the effects of the first industrial revolution to spread out because transportation was slo

I'm coming around to the view that treating cancer is mostly a resource allocation issue. I'd be willing to bet if we made even more aggressive investments in finding treatments and cures, we'd be able to achieve both rapid i

I don't know. I don't think he's really making such an absolutist statement, these are heuristics, I think they're meant to be guardrails. ALAN is probably a very good heuristic for precisely the type of person who read

This is why I'm skeptical of private weakly regulated markets and why I actually support regulation of capital markets that forces disclosure. WeWork was able to claim an absurd valuation in the public markets, but as soon as they sta

Great job. On the "Why may I want to use Mesh instead of..." you may consider describing why I would want to use mesh instead of jupyter notebooks.

First question: what's a xenoaccelerationist? Is it appropriate to abbreviate it as X/acc? How does it relate to xenofeminism? What are 2 to 3 introductory texts you would recommend on acc in general and X/acc in particular

My guess would be unconditional.

If it's possible for you, see a qualified therapist. They will help you unpack the the problem and see if from different perspectives. I would not trust advice you find on the Internet, it could just compound the invisible biases you

Wow. I'm really impressed by this guy, he's doing a good job of modeling masculinity for the 21st century.

It might be interesting to split this questions into two: (1) Which companies would you never work for due to ethical reasons (2) Which companies would you never work for due for non-ethical reasons (e.g. poor leadership, bad work/life

I don't know. I honestly could see an argument that he's just not mentally stable, he may sincerely believe a lot of what he's saying and not trying to manipulate the market. His language and mannerisms remind me of a high f

Who brought up social justice activists? I have no idea how social justice activists relate to anything in this article or anything in this comments section. If anything, Propublica could be put in the camp of "social justice" act

I actually support anything that makes alcohol harder to get, but I agree it's too soon to draw a conclusion. I would be interested in seeing if there's been a decline in domestic violence and other forms of crime that have a stro

I don't think the goal is fix past things in the past - you'd need a time machine for that. Rather therapists help you not make the same mistake again. A lot of humans think "But I'll never make that mistake again!"

It depends. I don't think seeing animals killed would affect me too much. I do think seeing animals suffer would definitely help to change my behavior.

Playing around on a chan is not the same thing as researching these things for a living. It's probably a sign of good mental health if someone is disturbed by violent imagery. I am worried about people who aren't disturbed by vio

I think your third point supports the OP original point. Stripe probably isn't "really" worth that much now. EDIT: wanted to mention that my impression is that they're a great company, just not worth $35B.

I am actually pretty skeptical of financial rewards, I think after a certain point they are far better at attracting the wrong type of person. Of course, that leaves us with the question of how to attract productive innovators. I don't

Not a smear campaign. Just Vanity Fair reporting on the highly problematic CEO of a company that is considering going public.

Lol. Trust me, I've been down that path. I was not only conservative when I was younger, but fairly right-wing, including some beliefs close to NRx decades before that was a thing. I've read most of the books, been to the confere

Where are you located? I'm in the SF Bay Area and your experience is pretty common here, but I'm wondering if translates to other geographies.

I think the whole "data-driven" ideology is getting worn out. It's especially bad on a lot of data science teams because there can be a lack of serious management experience and know-how if the team has a background mostly in

This article represents one of the problems I have with HBR and "business school" literature in general. It's a rehash of tried and true principles that have been described numerous times before almost always without attribut

A few things: 1) That's not what was spent, it's what this paper projected was spent. 2) I think this paper is defining subsidy in a way that we don't usually use that word. They're calling the costs associated with ant

Great clickbait. The first sentence provides crucial context - Amazon wants to hire 30K. So they had, on average, about 7 applications for every job. That actually doesn't seem so great. It's even less impressive when it's

Huh? They're not banning tobacco, they're banning e-cigarettes, specifically because there is a ton of evidence that youth get addicted to nicotine via e-cigs. If you want to smoke tobacco, go ahead, you're still free to do s

Why can't it be related to health? It seems like it's an attempt to prevent Indian youths from developing nicotine addiction, which is probably a pretty smart idea even if it's done for culturally chauvinistic purposes. Pers

Freedom is a two edged sword. You are free to say what you like, but the rest of us are free to take actions in response to that so long as those actions don't violate your constitutional rights. There's no constitutional right to

Who is pushing density on others when they don't want it? I just don't see that happening.
