We are two software engineers frustrated with "grooming meetings" that were one-sided and ceremonial. So, we hacked together a polling engine for asynchronous voting, satisfying the needs of our day jobs. Since then, we've se

The shrooms community has known about this for a long time, and now it's just about recreating the knowledge in peer-reviewed studies. Although there is a lot of "woo woo" on shrooms usage in the online communities, I do hope

I think that was the control group, not placebo. But I didn't read the study in depth.

Do you have a source? I don't think it is "more effective" in terms of the remission rate. That being said, in this hypothetical world where you can choose between shrooms and SSRIs, you would have to compare the side effects

What happens to wages when the QE occurs? Nothing, they stagnate. What happens to real estate and securities? They skyrocket. I don't care if it's cryptocurrency that we end up using. As long as we can pay people in some kind of s

Not a "fix" (I should have picked my words more carefully), but it would stem the bleeding from inflation.

Then any new asset type, IPO, or security also entrenches wealth inequality for the same reasons. Unfortunately that would have to happen to get away from using fiat currency. My original comment was just saying that I think Bitcoin is the

I think of Bitcoin as a hail mary attempt to fix the inequality caused by central banking. I got a lot of flak for saying that I would trade the environmental damage done by bitcoin for negating central banking in another thread, but I beli

I think believing this (the title in particular) is even more partisan and more wrong than not participating in Bitcoin because it's "bad for the environment" which I read as "I feel I missed the boat, so I'm going

Pop science with no link to actual study? I'm not convinced that confounding variables have been stripped. ADHD and autism are probably also positively associated with the population density of medical professionals in the area. Edit:

I didn't intend it as a joke. Maybe at a developer-friendly company it could be viewed as a joke.

I applaud this, but I also advise against this for your career. Unless the change you're making has immediate and significant business benefits, from a PM/EM perspective you're 1) wasting time 2) potentially introducing bugs

Studying music will make you better at music. Studying IQ tests will make you better at IQ tests. I think we put too much emphasis on general intelligence when it's not well defined and easily gamed. It's also a talking point for

A good engineer who understands the business thoroughly is I'd wager 3 times more valuable than just a good engineer who has no knowledge of the business.

Anecdotally, I find the opposite to be true. Also part of being "effective" is having a large amount of system knowledge which you would build over a long time.

I agree, but I also think there's social cost to not spending your money on status symbols. You will be ostracized by the rich and educated groups for not fitting in, and then how will you acclimate to a higher social sphere? Example[1

If you take $1M and don't do what the donor asks, I'm guessing word spreads and other would-be-donors know not to donate to you. How do you determine as an outsider the difference between a donation with an ask and a "no stri
