I thought it was some sort of Italian activism group. "The Pareto Front today claimed responsiblity for...."

Apart from BMI, what is the female equivalent?

"Experts". It's more a Trump Derangement System meter at this point.

I don't know about the tech implementation but "Don't be a dick to LLMs" seems like solid advice.

Can you die from a umami overdose?

I always tell people that if they are not adding value to the AI output, then that person isn't needed.

It's the same in lots of places in the UK. We have MPs that care more about the building of an airport in Pakistan than they do about the UK.

Looks like they've already had to roll it back: ---- I messed up. At our YC afterparty, we offered free tattoos and said we’d be happy to interview anyone who got one. What I thought would be a fun, memorable way to meet people was, in

UBS had a similar capability on their laptops so they facilitate tax evasion for US clients: https://www.cnbc.com/2015/04/30/why-did-the-us-pay-this-form...

The USA may support the country in general. I don't think they support this specific policy.

I would have been mid to late 20s. I can't swear I was very productive afterwards. Sleeping in a toilet cubicle was also a thing. University in the UK is (or was) a great training ground for livers.

I remember one head of trading had a fridge in his office and various bottles of whiskey for a cheeky drink.

Yes, fair. I think the default for a pub lunch would be to drink, but it was never mandatory.

More unhinged and better, especially in banks. I had one senior stakeholder that would come back from the Pub on a Friday and complete change all his previous decisions. I think my lunchtime record was 4 1/2 pints. Another IT guy on th

It's dropped off now. It was better in the 90s.

You think the USA does that?

I had to learn Modula-2 at Uni. It was useful for teaching core concepts, but very limited use in terms of finding a job. I think it was only defence companies that used it.

A lot of big infra projects end up going bust, and then someone else buying up the company and its assets because they no longer have the original build costs to bear - EG EuroTunnel, Iridium etc. Someone should stand up a vulture fund to b

I quite like the Zvi Mowshowitz's substack: https://thezvi.substack.com/ He mixes in other stuff you may not care about, and the volume is quite high but I find it an interesting read.

The counter argument of "If we put minimum wage up, everyone will be richer" is "What happens if we massively increase it?"

"Reductio ad absurdum (Latin for "reduction to absurdity") is a valid argumentative technique that disproves a statement by demonstrating that its logical conclusion leads to an absurd, impossible, or contradictory result.&qu

That sounds like an amazing way to stop people taking risks to start companies.

What about the chap that mortgaged his house to rent a factory and buy a widget maker and employs these people? What % should he take?

Well, I guess there are two parts of it: 1) Raise the floor for everyone 2) Work to make sure that the path for talented (however you define that) people to go from low earners to high earners is as simple as possible.

As much as I think you can't raise minimum wage indefinitely, I kind of agree with this a bit as well. I would be in favour of some sort of mechanism that ties "Number of your employees needing additional benefits to survive"
