I think this is a very useful framework for "choosing the right tool for the job". For me personally, there isn't much difference between the Chef's Hat and the Teacher's Hat; the way I make code presentable is the

People can't just choose to stop feeling unsafe. Chronic stress causes brain damage and reduces tolerance to further stress. This is a fact . Calling people in this situation irrational accomplishes nothing.

Why put "feeling unsafe" in scare quotes? There's a lot to feel unsafe about right now.

I can't imagine what it would be like to actually have to deal with the scenario you described.

They probably know that it doesn't hold water legally. The hope is to victim blame as much as possible so that fewer people sue them in the first place. The next step will be to "remind" people about the TOS that they totally

Humans and AIs both evolve as the result of some iterations dying. In both cases, we tacitly erase the ones who don't make it (by framing the discussion around the successful, alive ones). The difference is that humans have had a broad

I didn't make it explicit, but the point was about where you draw the line. Obviously a software engineer has a lot more bargaining power, but anyone is paid less if they believe in their work because the desirability of the job is a

Does that logic still apply to teachers? How about public defenders? Food bank staff? Punishing people for believing in their work is called "exploitation".

Taking away land isn't the goal ; it's just the logical consequence of making it prohibitively expensive to rent-seek. The problem goes away if you don't treat land ownership as a right. What is the advantage of letting peop

> Uh huh, so you’re taxing land based on some theoretical “highest and best use”? Someone has to eat the opportunity cost of sub-optimally used land. Would you rather it be corporations and house-flippers, or renters and homeowners? >

If tax is based on land improvement, a flat parking lot in a busy area is profitable, even if it doesn't provide optimal value to the community. The owner may wish to add some buildings to the lot, but land improvement tax means they h

I don't disagree that modern features can be useful, nor do I disagree that some modern cars do it right. I'm saying that one car making the user say "pretty please" before disabling a distraction is one too many.

It's possible to be both a victim and a perpetrator, for example, if you give power to someone who uses that power to hurt you and others.
