Why is this being downvoted? Even in the cnbc article above, there is little "micromanaging" going on as far as I can tell. He has new ideas, rejects proven methods sometimes, and wants everything a certain way. But compare that w

I am sure he does. But he isn't a micromanager. He will do whatever it takes to get things done and done right. Same with Steve Jobs. If you can get it done and done right, you wouldn't hear a peep. No one at that level has issues

To some people managing equals micromanaging. They don't want to be told what to do at all. But then can they do it alone? No. And this is the dilemma. One solution is to hire more competent people and hand them the work. It's lik

I am a mouse user and I can't wheel scroll. Won't scroll even if I click on the page. As a UI site, I would fix this asap.

Exactly. "AI" used by the media, by marketing, and by science fiction has created its own concept, and that concept having consequences beyond the technologies associated with the label is what the article is about.

This. The elegance valued by so many in discussions seems so redundant when you think of how 99% of the machines that consumes the code will fail to appreciate it. The machine couldn't care less whether your actual header was a header

The AI way of thinking is: AI is better than humans, and that it will replace our labor and our decisions. Therefore we must focus and invest in AI, as well as fear it, because it is taking over. The damage done is obvious. We discount huma

How is herd immunity viable? The policy literally would translate to "let the careless infect themselves, and with enough of them infected the virus would go away." So if we were all careful, herd immunity would be delayed. And if

The past is gone, and we can barely predict even tomorrow. Packing all of these "days" into "life" is not simple at all. It's an error. There is no "life". It's an ideology, and letting the idea rule

Exactly. The true issue is what's making you think fuck you in the first place! Not how you say it. And that's the real conversation. If fuck you is what you mean, then no amount of dressing will change the fact that you're s

So to put them together: people who say no too much are self-tortured, and people who say yes too much are tortured by others. Learning to say yes sounds great, but you're on the path to becoming a people pleaser. And people pleasers w

And it shouldn't. If no is saying fuck you, then that's a far greater problem than being too nice. As if no is politically incorrect. This would have been a far better story actually than the NPR people pleaser pleaser feel good p

From Yes to No is a hard 180. That's like nice to rude for a lot of people pleasers. Instead you can start by never saying Yes. This can even be fun for a while. Don't need to say no, but can't say yes. But after a bit of thi

They're just buying time to make more money. And the way to maximize profit is to invest in what would keep most of your doors open right this moment. "An Inconvenient Truth" came out in 2006. It's already 2020. Politics

Listen to the money. When an industry spends billions on persuading the public of some "truth" the opposite is true. Same with cigarettes and cancer. Same with lawsuits that end with massive settlements and no admission of guilt.

Even if the counts are private, counters create an ulterior motive beyond substantive discourse in the desire to collect likes. Their signals constrain speech as posts are authored. Just like the profit motive, the like motive greatly skews

No totally. But even from your own perspective, the output of your day is the same, you're being paid the same, which means to the economy you're also the same. So the title of the article is a bit ridiculous. Formatting the title

If you create a gun and people keep shooting themselves, you add safety features if you care about people not dying. If you build a car and people keep crashing and dying in them you add seatbelts. If you create a lock-in that causes bullyi

If you create a product that adversely effects a population based on their innate behavior, you have a cruel product. If you care about that population, you'd solve issues with the product. Unless of course you have other motives.

Absolutely. The "white earphone cord" thing was cool when iPods first came out (as an Apple brand PR thing) but iMessage is not cool because it has direct negative consequences, especially among less kind social circles. But I hav
