I would say that there is indeed a problem with modern tech companies where things matter even less than they should. It's not a problem of being raised in a context where everything matters, but that many companies, especially tech ar

I guess you mean efficient in that they produce a shorter (or even the shortest) sequence of moves to solve a given scramble. But if it takes 5 minutes of computation to produce the solve, then in practice they are not yet very efficient.

And the counterpoint is that most people aren't able to do that much exercise. Because it's A LOT. Basically full time athletes or highly physical workers. So that excludes all people with a sedentary or only partially physically

Okay, but what if you don't know your password and your password manager is offline or you don't have access to it on your phone or the phone ran out of battery or... I assure you we can find a similar amount of cases where passwo

I disagree with the cheap developers point. I've just hired a Pakistani designer/web developer team. They were committed, fast, cheap, wrote high quality code, and delivered more than what was agreed at the start. It was a closed

I find hard to interpret "A 40 yo learned something from a 13 yo" in a non ageist way. Seems that people disagree, but nobody has provided a counterpoint. Actually, the comment in question would have been perfect encouragement in

You should consider this interaction as an opportunity to also revisit your ageism. I'm all for encouraging young people, and OP seems a really bright 13 years old person, for sure. But try to keep condescension out of the way. As anyb

What I don't get is how nuclear goes against any ESG. It's just fear.

Yes, but videogames cost roughly the same all around the world.

I think OP was pointing to a potential starting point of the raise in prices and decoupling it from the actual services rendered. Something I think is very likely given that now there are a lot of examples where things are comparable qualit

You don't need to compare with the past. Just compare with other countries, where you can pay 300 a month and have all your family fully covered privately. No copay. No public health. Although you can skip the payment and get public he

160 pitches for 1.5M - in how many checks total? Did you decide you wanted the 1.5 before starting the pitches?

There supposedly is a (semantic) process in your brain that makes you believe you understand the sentences you are reading and writing that is on top of the (symbolic) process that tells you what to say and how to say it. And that's th

Until there are actual serious studies with a large sample population from different parts of the world you can't be sure how many people will be affected and how. Also how healthily you eat is paramount. You can eat vegan trash too. B

Exactly. And the person following the Chinese program also knows they don't speak Chinese and that they aren't understanding anything. I don't really find the Chinese Room argument very compelling because there are too many

It depends. Humans vary and, while you may thrive on a plant diet, you can't generalize your experience. There are people who have problems even supplementing B12. Others don't. You can't just tell those who have that they&#x

Easily changed? Slavery is still real today in many places and took wars over centuries to get to where we are today. Seems like you have a very special definition of easy.

It's not farting, it's belching. Can be ameliorated adding algae to the feed. It's not very relevant to the point you're making in this case, but it's good to be precise and also might help you revisit your sources

The point is that in all this thread, including in your previous comment, people are talking about it as if it had no possible side effects. So, great for you that you track your metrics and consult your doctor, but next time you stand behi

I have an 11A charger and some 5kW solar panel setup, and I am lucky enough that I'm able to charge during the day the trips I make early in the morning just with solar.

The ability of getting everything one wants just because one can is not a good thing, in my view. Also, how is this relevant to the point above? One point is it's too expensive - so even if he wants it he might not be able to get it in

For someone who sort of justified a humiliating response to a mistake a few comments above, this seems really well done! Congratulations.

The flaw in that reasoning is it assumes that anyone is able to get the greatest expert in the world. Reality for most companies who hire remotely is that they just try to get the best person they can find within their time, monetary and ot

And if that came to happen it only strengthens my argument, as I'm sure car manufacturers aren't asking for that change either. Life changes and there are a set of people affected negatively by those changes. Those people never as

That's a good argument, but I didn't see the "we want the best people we can get with what we want to pay regardless of where they are." Which is what some companies do, they hire from all over the world and pay them in

In my experience you can build rapport through video calls. For certain not in meetings with groups, but on 1:1s it's doable. You have to be conscious about it and put more effort. But it's not impossible. In fact, for me it'

And mine is that you can't tell much from that anecdote. The failing startup might be failing for any number of reasons. There are counterpoints of fully remote startups that have worked out well. So basically, it's just noise. Th
