Have to agree with you, every comment from the product creator reads like a chatGPT response.

We could somehow account for the cost of these negative externalities in financial reporting, or tax them.

A part of the general public is only whipped into a frenzy against these measures by vested interests.

Why are owners of capital deemed to be innocent when subject to the invisible hand and not the consumer? Answer is probably due to media influence paid for by the profits I alluded to earlier

It would only take a very small fraction of the population to care and change everything. The small fraction that profits from the polluting industries and uses those profits to maintain the status quo.

He offers a few testable hypotheses. The one suggesting that a conscious star would direct CMEs in order to remain in orbit around the galactic centre (or intercept another star) is intriguing and entirely falsifiable.

Ok then perhaps offer a better approximation, let's say 50% of profit instead of the 100% share. That is still a very decent wage and is on top of the existing labour expense which profit has already accounted for

How did the authors of either example maintain their own code? Is it possible that they had a readable local dev version and passed it through a minifier prior to pushing to production?

For startups is it perhaps easier to be intrinsically motivated in the company's success because there is likely to be more financial benefits?

When large established companies complain about productivity and lack of employee commitment, the answer seems very obvious to me... Swap platitudes, certificates of recognition and motivational speeches with tangible financial incentives.

If the executive wants everyone to come into the office 5 days a week, then offer a 25%+ pay rise and watch people flood in

Lending money is an investment. You lend money with the expectation of getting more back over time (principal + interest).

There is a risk that the borrower won't repay the loan, and this is priced in to the interest rate being charged.

No, but we already do. Huge amounts of public money is spent by government on consulting firms, private contractors and industry grants/incentives.

Yet the public doesn't generally consider these firms to be publicly funded organizations, despite taxpayer money being the primary revenue source for many of them.

I've heard this many times before, but for some reason now is the first time it really hit me.

Assuming this is true. What would the rate of our universe's expansion tell us about the black hole we are inside of? If matter were still falling into our black hole universe where would it show up from our perspective?

Well we would definitely be the first for something. In the worst scenario the first to become spaghettified and atomised!

That's a tremendous amount of assumption being piled onto that one line comment.

Intelligent people are in larger orgs too. They learn very quickly that promotions aren't tied to effort and anticipating problems or resolving future problems.

The intelligent, optimistic and genuinely good, helpful people who don't learn this (or refuse to compromise their good nature) end up burning out, getting performance managed or with PTSD

Organisations are starting to use LLMs in production with the aim to reduce human operations.

I wonder how long until there is a major incident that seriously impacts customers experience and/or business systems.

That works, another method to add to the toolset is to ask what is actually driving the emotion.

Sometimes it's actually frustration that things aren't going the way you want (and the next question is why is my way really better than the other?).

Sometimes it's someone else's mistake (and the next question is have I ever made a mistake?)

Then someone cuts in front of you in line and it could really matter (time pressure or opportunities missed) and that behaviour could be something you would never do to others. In that situation believe it's healthier to speak up, but there is much less risk of escalation, and a good chance of gaining allies around you if the message is delivered calmly rather than with anger.

Agree, however I do understand the desire to keep me aware of their product.

If I ran a B2C sass, I wonder what I would consider appropriate. Maybe a quarterly update on new product features?

I do this when there is no obvious unsubscribe link in the email. I'll also hard block if the unsubscribe link requires me to log in first.

I haven't needed to hard block in a while, maybe the message is starting to get through!

There was one level that stumped me for a long time, it was the level that introduced the one dig direction game mechanic. I was young and there was no internet to look up a solution.

One night I dreamed the solution, how obvious it was! Even now I still remember this experience when confronted with an intractable problem.

The researchers are arguing that using ECG reduces subjectivity in personality assessment. Which is predominantly determined by self reported questionnaires.

They are mapping ECG data to the 'big 5' personality traits, and neglected to mention how these traits were determined for each participant prior to measuring the model's predictive accuracy. Almost certainly these primary trait scores were determined through a questionnaire.

Does this have any more validity than the E-meter from Scientology?

From the paper:

>Traditionally, assessment for personality traits has relied heavily on self-reported questionnaires and behavioral observations. While these methods have proven valuable, they also introduce subjectivity and potential biases

Most large companies hire large consulting firms, whose lack of morals is a selling point.

JS is necessary to maintain state, can this be done with CSS and HTML?

Also, I'd say that manipulation of CSS classes and HTML elements with JS gives the developer quite a strong understanding of them.

How many G's of deceleration are we talking here? I imagine even 2Gs of force wouldn't be tolerable for humans for more than an hour

Would a layer of water in the forward hull positions mitigate this?

To be fair Australia doesn't really have a choice in the matter due to forces outside of the country. Any political leader who tries this doesn't remain leader for very long.

Most of the public is aware of this, and will probably continue to accept it as long as the general standard of living doesn't fall to much.

I looked it up, he wrote a book 'Them and Us"

From the blurb: "...Neanderthal Predation (NP) theory reveals that Neanderthals were 'apex' predators - who resided at the top of the food chain, and everything else - including humans - was their prey..."

If the founder retains a controlling interest in the business (say 51% stock ownership) are they safe from these shenanigans?

A lot of people believe that life isn't unique to earth in the universe and I personally wouldn't face a reckoning by this being confirmed.. I would however face a reckoning if it were somehow proven that earth was unique.

Was this ever the norm? All job opportunities I've had started with a CV, then technical questions and tests, then a cultural fit interview. When I've asked whether they looked at my side projects in GitHub, the answer was always no.
