AFAICT the argument against eating cephalopods really only makes sense for octopus. Squid, cuttlefish, etc. don't exhibit the same kinds of cognitive abilities. I presume this is because of the difference in needs and uses of the appen

According to the article, the problematic aspect of this is not the squid but the exploitative labor that often goes into catching and preparing it.

You've either intentionally cast my argument as something it's not or you need to read a little deeper before replying. Nowhere did I say sloppy code is the problem, what I said was justifying it in terms of profitability is the p

It's really a basic point that I can call myself whatever I want, but if I walk and quack like a duck, I'm a duck. YC is a VC firm which is a very specific context that demands things like revenue and growth to be so prioritized

You are not anything until you act as something. Acting like an MBA makes you virtually indistinguishable from one. I don't care what you studied, it's what you're doing (or not) with it.

Even couching the output as a "product" begs the question. It comes with a whole set of connotations around what's expected in and from such an effort. What you're describing is a tragedy of the commons from the perspect

Here is how the main factor incentivizing this sloppy engineering behavior is justified: everything is cast in terms of making money. Revenue is good -- fine. Therefore no revenue is bad -- doesn't follow and you need to justify that s

The vast majority of homicides happen between people who already know each other, so actually homicide rates say nothing about crime within geographic boundaries so much as crime within existing social groups. Then it stands to reason that

It is largely a product of Americo-centric modes of reasoning about politics, especially since an overwhelming part of Americans' engagement with political issues is predicated on how the Ds and Rs act and react to each other.

Having travelled a fair bit, I can tell you that economic insecurity breeds a culture of selfishness, not the other way around. Where people are not economically precarious, there's almost no culture of trying to get one up on those ar

Is this just a lazy version of the "welfare queen" argument? By all metrics it's cheaper to be married. Better tax benefits, lower housing and insurance costs when you bundle, etc.

This is my core contention: negligence of bringing one's efforts to suitably address the problem is not necessarily intentional a la mens rea , but rather demonstrates that a person is not appropriately engaging their mental and cogni

There are a few industries where the purpose of the painfully inflated costs seems to be internally (to the managers of the US economy) justified by nothing more than "creating money", i.e., paying lots of people the wages they ne

That is bad faith. They're not trying to understand the systems that they feel they can take the responsibility to try to "fix".

I've seen this repeated often with no analysis to back it up. Can you link to some? I'm quite skeptical that it will be effective or cost-efficient enough to do better than updated land and farm management techniques.

If you have the money to pay someone else to deal with the maintenance, then sure I guess. I do my own work and don't want to deal with bleeding brakes and all the extra tools that are required for that.

Interesting you prefer hydraulic specifically, even the disc brake zealots mostly agree mechanical is more reliable and easier to maintain.
