Your statement about "detailed firsthand knowledge" hit home and reminded me of a topic related to job/task automation--single points of knowledge. There is a big push at my employer to eliminate single points of knowledge an

I come away from from this article with two thoughts. 1) Regarding the example of qualitative data via drunk students attending eye-licking parties. The author doesn't explain how this is qualitative. To my mind it's a gap in the

In my experience, reasons like "spontaneity" and "dynamism" are used to cast lack of vision, poor planning and management, and amateurish execution in a positive light. YMMV.

Agreed. When my wife was looking to replace her 2013ish Air and comparing M1 Air vs Pro, I told her I'd pay $300 not to have the touch bar.

I'm not familiar enough with the technology to understand the privacy implications--are operators able to identify/snoop on specific users? I'm wondering how easily a building owner or landlord could collect and leverage thei

I often wonder whether the solution is setting the expectation with companies that if they act in bad faith, their leadership will be om nom nommed? Apologies for the metaphor, it's the best I could come up with on short notice.

I dream about one day opening a non-profit/co-op grocery chain called "Tarable Grocery". The capital outlay would be considerable of course, but ultimately and optimally, the chain would lease containers to members who would

I was about to say the same thing. I put $33k down and financed $208k at around 3.5% (in the Upper Midwest). Three years on my payments are about $1280, after increased taxes YOY.

Just want to take a moment to go give a tip of the hat to all down voters and those assuming I haven't spent any time researching/thinking about/discussing this topic. Alternatively, thanks for letting me know how I'd pr

It is extremely unlikely in this case that the employee was also the proprietor, so there is no "their". It was an individual decision, not a business decision.

Output should never be stable in theory as people will not always need the same amounts of the same things. Optimally, output of consumer goods would dwindle if they were made to last as long as possible and convincing people to buy shit th

These considerations are requisite only in a capitalist system. In other economic models it is not a given that ”[i]nvestors...need to decide which businesses are viable... Workers need to consider career changes." In fact, the divisio

It's not mean to express boundaries. Strangers offering unsolicited advice, regardless of intent, crosses a boundary for many people. And since the employee making the comment would never be personally liable in the case of a lawsuit,

Pretty sure the cure is moving away from the capitalist mode of production.

Exactly. Like using lines of code as a proxy for progress or success.

"...it's why the accelerator ring diameter has to grow to achieve higher particle energies. The LHC has a circumference of 27 kilometers." Please humor me. Does this mean that if the LHC had x diameter, it would perform the s

Completely agree. And unless one is sufficiently privileged to have the space to leave setups as is, one needs to factor in cleanup/storage.

I agree with the drift of this but would not describe myself as being exhausted for those 2 hours. More like just unwilling to anything not personally regenerative.

All good points. I wonder if instead of a voting mechanism, a site could crunch things like number of posts, type of posts, length of posts, frequency of posts, replies to posts, and so forth to calculate something like participation/a

"I whole heartedly agree with this. The naive approach to domain modelling is to classify the primitives of a domain into classes and stop there. In actuality, the processor of those primitives is likely what your class should be, and

Exactly! So long as the developer approaches the solution with the expectation of scaling and extensibility from the get, this should not be a problem.

This is coming from a business consultant (BA/PM and configuration primarily), but in my experience, it seems like the OOP paradigm is fine in most cases and is leveraged in a functional/compositional fashion typically, so I fail

But also, honest people. What I've learned is, apply if it sounds cool. Worst case, you hear nothing. A relatively close second, you get an interview, and that's the meat.
