Very cool! I'm working on something similar but a little more wysiwyg and collaborative (think gdocs meets gsheets rather than word meets excel). Let me know if you want to chat - email in profile

A new kind of document editor which blends features of word processor and jupyter notebook. Email me (see bio) if you want to try it out.

What's your measure of performance? Theres no one size fits all answer yet, but if you just want to test it out there are many commercial offerings on which you should be able to get some results for under $10k.

Fair, I was just stating the commonly accepted origin. Personally, I think the origin of orcs remaining shadowy and mysterious with numerous contradictory accounts is the best canon. After all, Morgoth works secretly to sow confusion and

Orcs are elves who were corrupted and mutilated by Morgoth, so hypothetically elves and orcs might have more shared biology. Hobbits are probably an offshoot or variant of men. Elves, dwarves and men all had separate "awakenings"

The reason Eldar children are rare is that elves progress through childhood and youth at the same rate as humans, then have an indefinite adulthood. So for an elf that lives say 2k years, they spend 1% of their life as a child.

I dropped my iphone 14 in the ocean. It was in there 2 days until it washed up onshore. A fisherman picked it up and it was still on and it had service. It was in lost mode so he was able to call my emergency contact and I got it back. Asid

The general competency level of diagramming in most engineering teams is low enough that I think it's better to talk about what to diagram rather than how to visually lay it out. Everyone has heard of sequence diagrams (and for good

I partly agree - I think you've outlined well why democracy should not be an end in itself. It's a means to an end and it's not always the best means. The main advantage of democracy is that it facilitates peaceful transfer o

My bad, looks like the direct costs of an employee are more typically 1.4x the salary. That's basically taxes, benefits and perks and benefits. There also indirect costs like equipment, working space and administration so I believe the

This is a good point, the smaller the layoff the more you can argue that the CEO (or others) should just take a pay cut instead.
29.
by tdba 3y ago
True, I think cutting pay for all executives would make a meaningful difference in a layoff. But don't forget that some fraction of execs might also be getting the axe in said layoff. GP was talking about CEOs specifically.

It's an attractive idea for sure, but it's probably not that much in the scheme of things. Say a full time employee earns $150k - total cost to employer is usually 2x so $300k. $40m / $300k = ~133 jobs. So if the company is l
