People used to be paid to pump our gas, operate the elevator, hand you a towel in the bathroom. A few places still pay people to do this but it’s more of a luxury add-on. Machines made it so that anyone can pump gas, hit an elevator button, or wash and dry their own hands after using the toilet.

Technology progresses and we don’t need experts to cash our checks anymore. If we want to give make-work jobs to people I would prefer they put on puppet shows and read books to kids and the elderly rather than paperwork nonsense at a grocery store bank.

People find new jobs. Losing a job doesn’t mean they are destitute - we have a vibrant jobs market in America. If there are enough people like you who would specifically go to a bank in person because you like talking to people, a bank may do that as a competitive advantage. But it isn’t a necessary thing anymore.

> Before the Kellogg deal was finalized and he was about to suddenly become very rich, Rahal got worried. “Can I seriously find someone who’s going to love me without the money?”

This seems like an easy thought exercise to work through.

If you're rich enough to worry about being loved for your money, then you're probably rich enough to have a second modest existence to date from (modest apartment, car, etc). So, don't show any sign of wealth to people you date, until after you're already in love. If they love you for you, they'll love you regardless of your circumstance, no?

I think it behooves Microsoft today to brand 10X as a "different operating system", but it's not like it is an entirely independent fork. Some of the same "OneCore" improvements Azure needs on the one side are likely what 10X needs, so 20H1 can be (and probably is) for testing both. Microsoft can test two things.

Curious: why women and not men? I understand why not both. But isn't this -- empirically -- a much worse problem for men?

I know my dad never really had any friends. Luckily, he has 6 brothers and they're kind of close, so that's a decent substitute for friends. But only one of them has any friends. My mom has one brother. He never had any friends -- ever, even as a kid.

On the contrast, my mom has tons of friends. Her 3 sisters have WAY more friends than her. My dad's sisters all have tons of friends. My mom's female friends have tons of friends, too.

I personally don't know any older women who don't have friends. Even my Grandma who was 90 when she died had two friends left around her age! I get the irony here, btw -- if they didn't have friends how would I know them?

Anyway, I could see women wanting more connection with women their age. Who doesn't want more friends? But beside one of my uncles, I literally don't know a single man in that age group that has ANY friends -- regardless of age. And even he only has a few friends, and he's genuinely one of the coolest people I know. It's sad.

Sample size of one. I get it. I know you did your research. Just curious to learn more.

My suspicion is: women might just be more receptive to this kind of thing (which is the reason they actually need it less) because they're a lot more social than men. But I'd like to get your input.

He he, that is true, and not something we're proud of. We're continuing to optimize things where we can with the resources we have. Given our size, we are spending our engineering efforts on our product where we can bring our optimization work on streaming to our customers. Sadly, as a result, our blog has plenty of room for improvement. As we grow, I hope the existing optimization tasks in our backlog are prioritized.

I appreciate this may come across as hypocritical, and you're more than welcome to think that. But I don't think that changes the analysis of my article, being that Google are telling everyone else to optimize their sites because it makes a better web, or you'll be penalized (https://www.sitecenter.com/insights/141-google-introduces-pe...), and then on the other hand they have over 100k staff and haven't optimized their own results.

> Lots of people don't live in densely populated areas

but MOST of the people do live (or around) densely populated areas, no? (just checked - google says 82% of US population is in urban areas). Addressing issues for most of the people first would have the most impact.
Ceramics are sometimes finished with a lead (or other heavy metal) based glaze. If that is the case your have problems much more serious than BPA was ever accused of. When you buy souvenir plates you often see "not for food contact" or other such language - the finish is why. (note, sometimes the finish is safe but the factory does other things that are not safe and don't want to do better purification of the equipment between runs)
I have created and supported products I have no ability to use because I'm not a large enterprise, and I don't think I'm particularly unique. Because of that, I disagree that producers and users of a product would ideally be one in the same. If organizations are required to perform all development and support in-house, specialization will be difficult if not impossible, and innovation and improvement will slow significantly.

Wealth and power distributions are relative, and if you're saying that moving towards a more even distribution from where we are now would be a good thing, I agree. However, I don't think a perfectly even distribution is desirable or even possible.

Also, large amounts of wealth in the hands of a small number of individuals is far from useless (it's not buried underground or stored in a vault), and whether it's bad or not depends on the context.
We definitely agree that voice interfaces are very rudimentary today. I try to run lots of things through dictation first that normally I would type out with my thumbs on the smartphone or on a keyboard on my computer. Text messages, search terms, commit messages, Slack conversations. Still, it can't perform very basic tasks like changing or backspacing a word or phrase, either because it misheard it or because you want to change it. (And actually as I dictated this paragraph on my 2018 MacBook Pro, it typed out everything I said twice and still required typing interventions, and eventually I just fell back to typing everything.)

You've laid out some good criteria though. I wouldn't say voice interfaces have really "made it" until it gets to the point where you don't have to ask how to ask it to do something (discoverability). You just ask it to do something and it does it. Although that's just one of many criteria.

The food menu problem is interesting, but pretty much everything that prints out on a ticket in a kitchen is structured data–it should be able to be efficiently conversationalized (preference notwithstanding, of course). Certainly there are many ways you could talk to someone about a menu: what kinds of dishes are there? Appetizers, grilled entrees, pasta, salads, desserts. What kind of entrees? Vegetarian, pork, beef, seafood. OK, but what styles of cuisine? Jamaican, Italian, Szechuan. There's probably an analog to the 5 Why's for figuring out what someone wants to eat! Asking yesterday's weather, though, is a specific case that could probably be solved by an intern, provided that data is easy to find on the Internet (FWIW, I've searched for the very same thing many times and it's much harder to find vs forecasts).

I concede that there will always be a need for graphical interfaces. How do you "speak" a map, or a CAD model? I guess I was just thinking of things that can accomplished with a keyboard. You can speak anything you can type, even if it's as rudimentary as today, where you have to say "period newline newline" to end a sentence at the end of a paragraph while dictating.

I agree it might seem tough to multitask. But consider WiFi routers serving multiple computers, or hell, even CPUs serving different processes, "simultaneously." If voice recognition and NLP become sufficiently sophisticated I could foresee being able to isolate multiple overlapping voices in an audio sample. If not, consider that you could ask it to look something up, immediately followed by your wife dictating an email to send–or one of you could even interrupt the other–and it could be able to handle the context switching and queuing at speed.

And I understand there's a lot I don't know, and I do remain skeptical that this could ever be perfected. Would it really be able to dictate poetry? Would the forms I create or creatively destroy in free verse just totally confuse the voice interface? Would it be smart enough to side step the confusion via some pseudo-meta-cognitive process and ask me what the hell I'm doing?

I would either extend the dates a bit, or simply say that you relocated during your job switch.

At one point I had an extremely patchy employment history over 2 years where I was job hopping every few months. I now just wrap it all up into one experience under one employer. Nobody has ever cared to question it, and if they did, I would explain that I relocated twice and that what's more important is the current skill set I bring to the table.

>how society decides salaries. It seems pretty arbitrary from my perspective.

Society doesn't "decide". It's a decided by the labor market. Nobody wants to pay programmers six figures.

It's a myth that we think teachers are less important than programmers because they make less on average. There is just a larger supply of qualified teachers willing to work at lower prices.

Wait until you find out how little art history masters holders make. Amount of training is irrelevant to how much money you get.

I wonder if, given enough distance, this is actually a really good way to avoid deceases.

Burying or burning is a good "rite" or meme, that will avoid many deceases. In the way that it favours cultures who dispose of their dead this way, have a benefit over those who leave them "lying around", so to say.

Would a sky-burial work similar? Or does that simply spread the risk of contamination over a large area that it only helps cultures in really sparse areas?
