I would say that your issue is not to do with generalist vs specialist, its more to do with where you are in your career and how much you contribute. Once you are above a VP level you are no longer a good candidate if your resume lists "proficient in react" as a skill. Its more important to showcase what company level changes are you able to drive. For example your CV should have achievements like - grew the team from size x to y, end to end ownership of a key feature of the product that was able to drive sales by x%, etc.

On these lines generalists "generally" win. I find that when people talk about generealists vs specialists they focus more on number of things they can do. But its more important how you define the skill. You knowing and correctly identifying the data set for marketing team is way more valuable than actually being responsible for querying and putting the data together. Personally I try to spend more time on defining my tasks clearly, so that I can maximise my impact on the organisation. Hopefully this framework is of some help and you can relate to it. All the best friend!
"Just walk/bike to multiple stores if you're poor, lol!"

No. In so many ways, no. If the trade off is to save a few dollars by running around for multiple hours per week to go to multiple stores (uses gas! or takes a long time!), or just going to the nearest cheap store to get everything they need, they're going to Walmart.

It has nothing to do with brand and identity and everything to do with not wasting precious time and money.
I expect most people's experiences when they're unemployed are colored by being... unemployed. You're not retired or on vacation, you're jobless. You're not supposed to be having a good time following your passions, you're supposed to be looking for more work or skill-building so you can get work. And money is going to run out eventually and who is going to want to hire you when you haven't had a job in six months or a year?

A lot of cultural baggage and shame in it, most people just end up stressed out and depressed.
after some clicking you can see the '2% lighter' claim on a demonstrator, here: https://www.jbenad.com/flyingv which makes me even more dubious about this whole thing; the claim is that this configuration fits in the dimension of the airbus is compared to, so by logic alone the increased surface area should end up in a greater weight, and that's without considering the increased structural elements that are required to avoid flexing and twisting of the two heavy sections to which the rear wings are attached, which have a lot more momentum than your usual wings, since they carry more weight and farther than the center of mass/rotation.

I also wonder where would the fuel be stored. needs to be around the center of mass and lift, to avoid the com shifting around as the planes flies. and there aren't wings there conveniently placed near the com to store it, so, is it going to end up below the passengers? that'd be a huge safety hazard.
...with the kind of capabilities that enable megaconstellations (low cost launch, inexpensive space hardware replaced regularly every few years), neither of those things will be true.

So either space astronomy becomes much easier/cheaper and we get megaconstellations, or megaconstellations won't happen.
Not even on a rough landing, just banking maneuvers on take off and landing. The prevailing winds and local mountains at my local airport require a banked turn of some sort for almost every flight. I can usually feel the banking in a typical passenger plane. Imagine what it would be like in the seats furthest from the rotational axis of the plane!

Perhaps the US would like to forget. But when we have a National Historic Site at one of the camps, we don't seem to be working very hard on the amnesia: https://www.nps.gov/manz/index.htm .

Yeah, Windows can actually do that now.
This is a false argument IMO. It is possible to do a reliable fly-by-wire system. Difficult and expensive, but possible.
Well, you could argue about whether it counts as privacy per se, but: a, they don't care to ensure that no one can identify them; b, they very much do care that it prevents whatever server they're getting The Office from from identifying them.
Zoning in Manhattan has made it essentially impossible to build a new grocery store in a normal location. Pretty much all recently-built grocery stores are in basements, due to a "zoning hack" that makes that compliant: https://twitter.com/MarketUrbanism/status/105451854997111193...

This is unfortunate, because Manhattan clearly has excess demand for good grocery stores, and the incumbents (Gristedes, etc.) are terrible.
It was taught in school when I was growing up in Ohio in the 90s. The US government even paid reparations to those or decedents of those affected.

Google, Facebook, Tech Antitrust Regulation: Comments from CalSTRS CIO
No. I evaluated Signifyd and the truth is that it wasn't worth it economically or from a "never have to deal with charge backs" perspective, because I still have to deal with the operational errors that cause most of my charge-backs.

When you sell a physical product, usually you get "friendly" charge-backs because the customer didn't receive the product. This means something is wrong with your logistics like a package went missing or didn't get sent out. Often you also missed the messages from the customer wondering where the order went---saying they will contact their credit card company if they don't hear back from you. So you can't just not deal with that.

SpaceX is working on Starship, which should be capable of Shuttle-like service missions. (JWST is much more fragile than Hubble, however, so you'd need to build a custom servicing solution... but JWST is not representative of space telescopes generally.) In fact, SpaceX is counting on Starship to deploy their full constellation. No Starship, no 12,000 satellites.
The Severity of Universal Salvation
Lift to drag ratio.

Aerodynamically the wetted area that generates drag without lift is undesirable. You need a wing generate lift, but everything else is there for something else like stability, handling, payload etc.

In conventional "tailplane" configuration the fuselage and tail are just providing drag and almost no lift (tail has little wings 'upside down' generating negative lift and trim drag). If you have canard or some more exotic wing configuration you can have all wings generating lift but there is still drag from the body. In clean flying wing, there is nothing else except the lift producing wing.

I'm calling for urgent action on astronomy groups.
I get that. I really do. I appreciate our conversation here so let me add a bit more color.

I'm a big fan of systems thinking. My friends get on me for it, but I wholly believe "if you aren't thinking about the system, you aren't thinking" or some aphorism to that effect. Donella Meadows, Russell Ackoff, W. Edwards Deming all inform my thoughts on this.

When an individual contributor like you are mentioning above is in a system there are four options they can take when they see something off.
1) Do nothing
2) Distort the system (often seen as a band-aid fix)
3) Distort the data (when Alan Mulally took over Ford all of their dashboards were "green" which meant good while the company was slated to lose billions of dollars that quarter)
4) Change the system

From Deming I learned this: who is responsible for the system? Management. Who is the top manager at FB? Mark Zuckerberg. So that's my perspective on using the word "ultimately." I also noticed that with your wording "...but for it to reach him" gives the sense that these behaviors are percolating from the bottom up. My sense, is looking at it from the other perspective--Zuckerberg down. He has set the tone, built the system, and the culture that allows (demands?) this behavior.

Another Deming quote that I have seen all too viscerally in my 17 years in the professional world is this
"A bad system beats a good person every time."

I don't excuse unethical or illegal behavior of ICs or managers, but I can look at the system they are a part of and understand it.
All you say is 100% true, at least in my own experience as well.

But none of that means you will be able to reach a certain audience. Although I have to say, I care very little about that. Good technical writing which is appreciated by my colleagues -- and being eloquent and expressive in casual conversations -- is good enough for me.

No, absolutely no. I've been all over Europe for my job and vacation throughout my life and there is no country with more order than Germany.

I have no idea how you get the idea about Italy. Besides France it is the worst driving experience in western Europe. People there are even proud of it. Eastern Europe is a topic for itself.

Seriously, there are assholes on the road everywhere but there is an overall flow of order in Germany you won't find anywhere.
This is quite at odds with my experience with my iPhone, so I'm confused.

I don't have an iCloud account. I'm not sure what "basic functions for a smartphone" I'm unable to use, but, I don't want my photos backed up to iCloud - I'll handle that on my own, for the photos I actually want somewhere other than on my local device. Everything otherwise seems to work.

I don't use iMessage. I've ticked the little box that says to use regular SMS and not iMessage. (This was back when there were stories of people getting stuck on iMessage and losing messages when they switched to another OS, and I wasn't sure I wanted to buy into the Apple platform permanently. I could probably switch back now, since I've been a regular iOS user for years and I hear that https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage/ works.) Multi-party SMS works fine. Multi-party Signal, Hangouts, Slack, etc. chats also work great. Similarly, I don't use FaceTime, but I've got tons of messaging apps that support video calls on their own.

Generally things have been fine, so I'm curious what specifically hasn't worked for you.

This is patently false. In fact you should delete this post in its entirety because it's just wrong. Don't make these things up and post them as fact. Flying wings easily fly without any computers whatsoever. They are inherently aerodynamically stable. Only manual elevon inputs by humans are actually required and it is quite easy to control unless your center of gravity is too far back. The CG is usually around 70% of the way to the front from the back.
as a core of its appeal: it offers the freedom of scapegoating, of blaming others. It's a lot easier to go out and denounce someone than recognize the parts of yourself that need work and work on them. And it's very easy for people to enjoy being part of an angry mob

The above could also apply to the toxic segments of the "social justice" mobs.
I’m not talking about the people who are unemployed against their will, but the people who are not unemployed and say “no, they couldn’t take a load of time of work[1] because they would be bored”. I took some time off a while back, to destress and work on my own ideas for a while and the amount of people who said they couldn’t do it, they’d be bored was mind blowing.

> who is going to want to hire you when you haven't had a job in six months or a year?

I’m lucky enough that in our industry, this hasn’t affected me. Tech companies seem pretty open to the idea that people take sabbaticals and such. Don’t get me wrong, I’m under no illusion that this isn’t a problem for other people and other industries, it absolutely is, unfortunately.

The core problem is zoning. NYC makes it either impossible or prohibitively expensive to find an acceptable site for a large-format grocery store. In Manhattan, all recently built grocery stores have had to be in basements to work around restrictive zoning: https://twitter.com/MarketUrbanism/status/105451854997111193...

However, there are only so many buildings with acceptable basement layouts, and only so many neighborhood that are profitably enough to merit the additional capital and operational cost of a supermarket in a basement.

As someone who has a master's degree in statistics and often uses Bayesian statistics, I think we should not focus on whether one is a Bayesian or a frequentist, but rather be pragmatic and take the most practical approach to solving a statistical problem. Moreover, I think statistical education should start with frequentist concepts and then extend them to the Bayesian framework since the likelihood plays also a major role in obtaining the posterior distribution. In my opinion, this progression is much more natural than starting fully Bayesian.

I'm curious why it's even legal to sell shares that don't have equal voting power. I mean, equal ownership via shares is pretty much the concept of a public corporation.

Since public corporations are entirely a legal entity (nothing "natural" about them), and so heavily regulated in so many ways to protect investors...

...what is the rationale the US has for even allowing the concept of shares that have less/more votes? It changes the ideas of shares as ownership to more of a kind of financial gambling.

And creates problems like this one, where a majority of ownership thinks a CEO is performly badly but can't do anything about.

I know investors bought shares voluntarily and knew this in advance... but I still don't understand why it's even a choice investors are allowed to be given. How are unequal voting shares good for society in any way at all? It just seems to allow corporations to get the benefits of raising cash publicly without the public accountability that should come with it.

A question since you mention directors:

Not true. SpaceX envisions using Starship (the same vehicle SpaceX would need to be able to launch 12,000 satellites) for satellite interception and capture. No Starship, no 12,000 satellites.
You’re not looking then. There have been pro FB comments before. It’s also telling of only looking at your bubble.

I highly doubt most addicted users think FB is evil. That’s a strong word.

Regardless, people being pro some company is not a good way at all to see if a company is “evil” or not. Many times people being pro something can be a negatives indicator.

We have seen various tech companies do bad things. Like the anti-poaching collusion so many participated in. But at that time Google was given near unanimous praise and pro-comments.
This is great! More email clients are always welcomed. :)
Ironically, I actually think a more open platform could increase privacy significantly. On a Mac, you can install Little Snitch to carefully monitor connections into and out of your phone. Security researchers also have the ability to probe apps as they see fit. Not on the iPhone.

The iPhones's closed nature also prevents security researchers from sufficiently examining third party apps for vulnerabilities.

I am not aware of any large, let alone national, democratic system that was based-on consensus. It has always been majority decision, with some variation on what constitutes a majority (e.g. simple majority, 2/3 majority, etc).

I agree that the "people's will" talk is quite silly. Democratic support is notoriously fickle and claiming to represent a single coherent national will is disingenuous; but so is trying to reinterpret a vote after the fact.

On matters such as these it is important not to let personal opinion cloud our perception. The brexit vote had a single question on the ballot and resulted in a clear majority (over a million vote difference). Both with this and the Facebook vote, we must be cautious before ascribing ulterior motives to voters.
