I had to laugh out loud. In the butterfly lifecycle, the caterpillar lives its own life, but then at its end shrouds and digests itself, to the point where only the rudiments of the nervous system persist. Then the butterfly itself grows o

Musk is posturing as a savior. For a promise to be enforceable in contract, it has to be definitive. There's nothing definitive here. For a representation to be fraudulent, it has to be false or misleading and relied upon as material.

Failure takes persistence, too. Grit is no more the answer than wisdom is. The real fallacy is following emotions (from movies?), which can be manipulated by time dilation or compression, attention/focusing/distraction, etc. And

Doctors and lawyers are in no way comparable and don't switch jobs as developers do. Also the pace of change in law and medicine is extremely slow. It's an exciting year when you have to consider a new drug or new law. Otherwise,

"30+ years of experience" is a negative in most cases to most recruiters. People overfit to their history, making it harder to fit in to a new context. So unless the match is perfect, you're better off with less of a resume.

Much about this seems implausible. Classes are in the morning, not work. No applicant would be left alone to work - why? It's rare to have en-banc candidate interviews, and then only with the ~10-member applications committee. Also,

Objectively, "frailty" is the medical term for the inability to move resiliently, which causes a cascade of problems from becoming sedentary. Subjectively, interventions commonly fail because they have to be precisely tailored to

So: success changes conditions, which can in turn create success, or not. In governance, the question is what to do about leaders using their power to create conditions to ensure their own leadership - who guards the guardians? The benefits

Sentry funded a history of open-source delayed, finding it more common than expected. Between fully-open (MIT) and viral/copy-left, is there an open-source license that can sustain developers as well as users? Historically, small compa

The idea that "Apple" has "a sense of entitlement" is click-baiting anthropomorphizing from someone monetizing eyeballs. It's not even supported in his text. So much on this topic lacks real grounding. 1. Apple&#x2
