You nailed it. I worked in a high-expectation consultancy for 15 years, and the biggest stress didn’t come from junior people being green. It came from leadership avoiding hard decisions. One team member had a TBI. My manager gave him a cus

Shakespeare’s “To be or not to be” from Hamlet. Should I off myself or not? That's the question. Is it better to put up with life's crap, Or say "screw this" and check out early? Death's just a nap, right? No more d

That’s a trauma cum redemption story. Sometimes it’s just trauma. RIP Richard Skibinski (July 17, 2022) https://www.reddit.com/r/Psychedelics_Society/comments/uzed2... https://www.legacy.com/u

That’s pretty nuts. This could have been written by me. At the end of my psychedelic journeys I found a deep abyss of meaninglessness and hopelessness. I think it was DPDR, but it shook me to my core. Ram Dass and Alan Watts spoke to me pro

I’d think that the most efficient exchange would be 50/50 with both student and AI answering and asking questions. My opinion is that the only problem with “bad questions” is emotional. They’re actually an incredibly efficient vehicle

I expect future generations will criticize today's morality due to our failure to redistribute wealth and resources among all living and non-living phenomena (think mineral deposits and natural landscape features). A disproportionate a

10x or not, you’re ready to reframe your role in your company. Perhaps in your industry too. However I find it interesting that you didn’t come out saying “I think I want to find a new job.” Like there’s something keeping you at this job -

Ask HN: What kept you at your job through the great resignation?

I’m 38 and feeling your struggle minus the uber achievement. I do alright, but I still have a mortgage. I will back up your ketamine hunch, but more generically as psychedelics. Consider a guided approach like Psychedelic Passage, for examp

I’m vulnerable to recency bias. The books that my recent life has pivoted on are Die Wise and Come of Age by Stephen Jenkinson. Both books are journeys that bedevil any effort to summarize. I highly recommend listening to the author read th

Die Wise by Stephen Jenkinson is a masterpiece. I thought I had a pretty good relationship with death until I read this book. It starts out slow because that’s the thesis of the book: go slow and pay attention; be curious and feel emotions

This may not be helpful in the context of Fortune 500 companies, but here it goes. I started at my current small company as a designer in 2011 with minimal formal training and a couple of years of self-taught experience. In the past ten yea

“Better for data flow than control flow” Here’s a fun use-case that barely made the post: commercial/install Audio DSP. I say barely because Max/MSP did make the list, but that’s not typically for install work (think stadium, conv

I want to know if anyone ever uses this to create a fleet of classic microphone sounds from a working mic like the SM57. Sennheiser, Neumann, Telefunken, AKG. Hell, you could stack it with preamp filters like Neve. It would bring me great p

I'm listening to Walter Isaacson's biography of Ben Franklin, and climate change reminds me of a more daunting version of the challenge faced by the Constitutional Convention of 1787. One Franklin quote, in particular, stands out

I agree, and I'd like to pile on with a more specific proposal. The child tax credit is $2000/child in 2019, which is laughable. I spend more than $12,000/child/yr for childcare alone for two kids (ages 8mos and 3yrs). T

Noticed in the materials for the product: "Nearly Silent (<50dB)". Seems like bogus copy - for every broadband acoustic measure of dB I'm aware of 50 dB would be very non-silent.

I had my tonsils out at around age 8 due to chronic ear infections. I don't know how bad it was before the operation, but my respiratory health has been abysmal since the operation. I've recently begun to wonder if oral probiotics
