I know that there are ancient sites with an incredible number of layers due to a very long history of habitation. I was just reading about Mount Megiddo which is a so-called mountain because of the accumulated layers (something like 26) of ruins. Human history is long enough that it has happened more than once that a site was appealing for thousands of years, but then it was abandoned thousands of years before the present, perhaps due to climate or technological change.

Step by step, part by part, and IMHO it's no different than the onboarding process on any new project. I usually try first to understan a general idea of the whole project, where is what (the structure), a bird's eye view of the business logic and the supporting DB structures. And then with time you dive deeper in areas where work needs to be done. If the code is structured properly usually you can start working on a few related parts without a need to know much about the rest of the system. And tests are there to give you the confidence to refactor and change things freely...

To be perfectly honest... It's hard for me to look at quitting Slack as anything but deeply selfish. How much more time is someone now spending writing you an email? Or waiting for you to answer one? How much more time are they spending walking over to your desk? Or wondering if they even should, since you're that one guy who refuses to use Slack?

If you need long periods of quiet time to work, locking yourself in a closet is extremely effective, but that doesn't mean it also positively affects your organization. Slack is an organizational productivity tool. Nearly every post I read about people quitting Slack focuses on how much better they are able to work without it, not how much better their team or organization is without them on Slack...

You're right, Slack isn't for you. It's for your team.

No. First, the generations don't match. Children from 1944 would be 36-46 years old in the 70-80s. Now, you may think: "what about their children, could there be a rebound effect?" And that's the other reason: the whole thing that makes the effects of the Dutch Hunger Winter so interesting to study is that they have such a clear cut-off point. It's like a natural control group. The increase in height was pervasive in Dutch society, the opposite of that.

The Dutch growth spurt can almost exclusively be attributed to change in diet. IIRC, humans used to be taller before the age of agriculture, and not-so-coincidentally have a much more diverse diet as well. In the 20th century we have basically been recovering to pre-agriculture levels of nutrition quality. Just look at the plots in that article you linked: every nation has increased its median height, not just the Netherlands.

Take a look at India’s tfr here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_and_union_ter...

‘Population momentum’ will mean they keep growing for a 2-3 decades but the tfr is very low in many states (well below replacement level) but there are a couple of big poor states where it’s still higher than replacement level but still not anywhere near as high as it used to be. The damage was done in the 50s and 60s for the most part, people are having far fewer children today. In some wealthy states like Punjab and Kerala it’s far below replacement and in fact lower than even Western Europe and the USA.
Taxes and bureaucracy and crony capitalism are really high. The State and political parties also have a great propaganda machine in place and blame everything on tax evasion (it starts in school with specially designed cartoons [1]. Truth is that with a real tax rate that goes from 70% to well over 100%, only those who evade taxes or practice crony capitalism can survive.

But even despite this the tax evasion rate is really low in rich areas, even if you take into account the rate given by official stats (which are probably fake since those who made the stats need tax evasion to appear high in order to justify the persecutions of entrepeneur), while is a little higher than EU average in poor areas where people either eat or pay taxes (and in Italy there are no food stamps no real welfare for the cronically unemployed).

Also we had hundreds of capable entrepeneurs who were brought to suicide by State persecution, with illegitimate request of money from various government body.

Also, another fun thing is that if you are persecuted by our equivalent of the IRS you can go to a special court, where the judges are people who used to work for the IRS equivalent or similar institutions designed to persecute business (not exagerating). Despite this the IRS equivalent still loses over 50% of the time [3] because it asks for money it shouldn't even in light of our anti-business laws. Just recently they have been found out while bringing fake documents in court [2].

But that's nothing but a hint of the terrible tax situation in Italy, so there you have it

I agree that most of the advice is pretty obvious if you reflect on your and other people's behavior. Also, I grew pretty tired of always using a string of anecdotes as support. Sometimes they don't even seem to fit the current chapter.

However, I think the important point of the book is that Carnegie succinctly collects a small number of behaviors that will improve your social life if you apply them. So you might not learn something new in the book, but hopefully it will teach you to focus on these known things instead.

I only heard about it through a Wikipedia binge on Audrey Hepburn; she was half-Dutch, spent the war in the Netherlands, and was in her early teens during the famine. It left her with lasting health problems, and her slender "elegant" frame and short height is probably connected with the continued malnourishment of the wartime years.
It's great to see an article about this. I think it's clear that as automation replaces a lot of jobs we're all going to work less (finally) and find meaning, purpose and happiness in other ways.

Certainly some people really love their work, and that's fantastic. Other people would rather work less, and that's great too.

I have to work almost all the time. My day typically begins at 3am and ends around 7pm. The reason for this is that my own projects and goals are often contingent on the successful completion of projects by other teams, and organizationally we tend to hire C workers at best. So I spend a lot of time pushing other people and other teams. It doesn’t make me popular but it does make me effective.

As far as any tax collection body is concerned, tax avoidance bad (acts as if it is the same as tax evasion), tax minimisation okay.

As far as IRS and draining of accounts is concerned, tell that to the poor people who have had their money confiscated from their accounts. Enough records of this occurring for you to track down. Little people usually don't have the resources to engage in the legal battles to regain their funds.

As far as your friends are concerned, their MMV.

The question in the title is purely rhetorical, the FA itself is making a deeper point that if you yourself choose to go nuts, it's a bit unwise to expect everyone else around/underneath you to do the same.
I worked at a startup that used WeWork (Denver) for about 9 months. When I first walked into the lobby, I wondered if I was in the right place, because it felt like a clothing-retail store, complete with constant runway-music playing from overhead.

My first impression was "how am I supposed to work here?" I loved that they had cold-brew and beer on tap, a clean working-space, and interesting events. They seemed really optimized to provide a workspace that was fun.

The problem was, I wasn't there for fun, I was there to get stuff done and for that I needed a place that was peaceful, quiet, with few distractions. The environment at WeWork wasn't optimized for that kind of long, deep work and in fact seemed to actively fight against it.

If your work tasks consist mostly of light, interruptible "busy" tasks, like responding to email, or participating on Slack, WeWork is probably fine. If your work consists of long, deep-dive tasks, I'd recommend getting your own office space until WeWork starts providing an atmosphere that better accommodates peace, quiet, and isolation.

"use even stricter than very strict";
World as a whole is hungry for energy. Industrialized nations have been able to reduce the link between economic growth and energy consumption, but the same is not true for the rest of the world.

Globally alternate energy adds to the global energy production, it's not replacing. When the industrialized world moves to alternate energies,
developing world can afford to consume more oil, gas and coal. When solar becomes cheaper, it makes hydrocarbons cheaper due to decreasing demand. I don't see how solar power replaces the global hydrocarbon production significantly before it's too late. It certainly will not do so in the short or medium term.

Markets value large oil and coal companies and producers like the demand will continue. EIA estimates that global petroleum and other liquid fuels consumption and production are in constant upward path: https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/global_oil.php

> strangely missing is the one about population growth

This.

There was a time when population explosion was recognised as something to deal with. For the last decade or so, somehow this conversation has simply vanished (from the school books, from political discourse, from the news media). It is as if we, the citizens, have collectively given up on this issue and want to pretend that the issue does not exist.

If I were to pick one single thing to start with, in order to reverse the current trend of environmental degradation, it would be population control. Unless this is addressed soon, it will be the root cause for the breakdown of the equilibrium of the environment and the social structure.

I don't know man Tesla brings out the worst in people.

My take: Tesla is a new car builder running into the same problems as every other new car builder. They're not better or worse. Making good cars at volume is hard.

The conspiracy angle is ridiculous. Tesla is NOT disrupting this industry, not until they make 10 million cars a year at a sub $30000 price. Japanese auto makers in the 70s and 80s were disrupting. Although I do think some car makers are jealous of the good vibe the Tesla brand has.
