Curious how this affects contact centres? They monitor everything agents do down to the millisecond. And "All calls are recorded for training and quality purposes."

I think this was covered in "Thinking Fast and Slow", but when our brains encounter a hard problem, we often substitute the answer for an easy question. I think this process is at play in the dynamics you list above. "How doe

Free speech is a tenant of functional society but it is not the only tenant nor is it the most important one. The Internet tends to focus on it because free speech is what it’s best at. And while that focus is important, it’s time we change

Church choir communities are fun, supportive, flexible (you can walk into any church choir and belong), exciting (yes, I would like to go on a cathedral tour this summer!), and long lasting (sing into your 80s why not?). I heartily recommen

That was Zappos. I was wondering the same thing as you.

I’m imagining “the boob function” just ignores any input and returns 80085?

But could it search for porn?

I know you’re joking, but this effect you described actually is just another trick our brains play to help us survive in the world. We believe that only we are free from this illusion.

I was going to disagree with your definition of intelligence. But Wikipedia says "to retain it as knowledge to be applied towards adaptive behaviors within an environment or context", and certainly, in a way, evolutionary processe

It will never form a house. But it doesn't need to, and expecting it to is a misunderstanding of evolutionary processes. What it needs to form is any kind of a shelter that is better than not a shelter. A 4x8 sheet of plywood that happ

There are a lot of powerful ideas in that article. Every leader of a "data driven company" should read it and tremble.

I wonder about the "social media is addictive" end-game. Will we continue to develop new social media apps that are more and more addictive? Can we continue down that path forever? To the maximally addictive social media app? What

I log in to Facebook about once a year, and my feed is just a panel of outrage. It's exhausting just thinking about it. But I do genuinely miss the early days when it was just the stuff my friends and family were doing, a great way to

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but the answer to your question is "no, it doesn't scale and is too expensive to maintain".

That’s why you make sure your minimum amount is something you would actually consider. Otherwise you’re only screwing yourself. On the other hand, giving a range and getting offered the bottom (which we already agreed is sufficient, otherwi

“I oppose this legislation that will bring massive good because I can imagine a few edge cases that have almost certainly been addressed but weren’t explicitly stated in the summary I glanced at.” This type of comment is everywhere on the I

I don’t think it’s strange at all. I’m actively rooting for their implosion for all the reasons that you’ve mentioned. Social media is not good for humanity and the sooner we realize it (and get rid of it) the better

Yup. Sidebery is now Firefox’s killer feature. Won’t live without it.

Right now. It isn't consider sociopathic right now. But it is my sincere hope that it will soon be again.

I thought this too until I heard about Amsterdam. Apparently it used to be car-centric as well. Then they decided whenever they were going to re-do some district, they would re-do it as walkable. Sure, it takes 40 years, but it's possi

Or we could just design cities that didn’t require cars.

Perhaps we do have problems with that model. But are the problems of the "tens of millions of humans have potentially been exposed to this harmful compound and the result seems disastrous" variety? Or are the problems of the &quot

I grew up at a small college, and you could always pick the home-schooled kids out of the crowd. I said this in an earlier reply, but I agree that school is inefficient at education, but I'd argue that's not what the benefit of sc

I'm as atheist as they come, and I value liberalism and secularism extremely. But I also acknowledge that not all humans are like me and that not everyone has a liberal mindset. They did a study once and when conservatives were asked t

I would disagree with this. Those who do best on their own (let's imagine the stereo-typical nerd) are those who most need the social training of school to succeed in life.

I think you're confused as to the point of school. We often believe the point of school is the academics, but I would argue it's the social. Studies indicate social skills are more important to future success than academics. A hur
